			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I began working on this track in January 2008; again it started off as a contemplative piece but as usual it intensifies into more of a Hans Zimmer-ish soundtrack.</p>
<p>I don't think in terms of lyrics and tend to just throw in words that fit initially and chisel them into something that makes sense later. . . this isn't a very good approach. But I'm more concerned with how the sound moves along so it's fine for drafting ideas.</p>
<p>Here's an <a title="mp3" href="http://www.shedali.com/sound/snowmen%20suicide%20bg.mp3">instrumental version with background vocals</a> which was inspired by the dark and haunting choral piece by <span>Steve Baker and Carmen Dave '<a title="warning, very depressing music!" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQZS9h3ALfA" target="_self">For Whom the Bell Tolls</a>' which featured on the Donnie Darko OST. I love this piece and if I was arranging funeral music this would surely feature when people were entering the church.<br />
</span></p>
<p>A test recording made on the iphone application fourtrak can be found <a href="http://www.shedali.com/music/snowmen%20iphone.mp3">here</a></p>
<p>A we build snowmen draft version exists here with provisional lyrics</p>

<h3></h3>
<p>If you leave me<br />
On the verge Of Paralysis<br />
We build Snowmen<br />
I forgot to tell you how I feel<br />
and Who thought things would ever change<br />
so forgive me now my Dearest Friend<br />
if I told you I'd stay until the End</p>
