Avalanche On A Summer Day

Hello, dear readers! I have something a little bit different for you today. As you probably know by now, I love writing poems. I've written quite a few on this blog. But art is all about trying new things, and for a while now I've wanted to do something different with my work, to try and freshen up my content a little bit. So, today, I have for you a song. Yes, a song! Keep in mind this is an experiment, so as always let me know what you think in the comments below.

Now, I haven't put music to this yet, but I plan to very soon. You can probably expect that in a week or two. But for now, please enjoy the lyrics to Avalanche On A Summer Day.


________________________________


[Verse 1]

I was standing at the foot of the hill
The sweet sun was setting
You and I, we watched the blue skies
You must remember the rest

[Verse 2]

You pointed at the aging sunrise
Oh, I didn't know what you meant
Then I heard the graven rumble
That the good lord above had sent

[Chorus]

There's an avalanche on a summer day
It's blinding bright so don't look away
The mighty snow is rolling along
We'll dance the night till its wrath is gone

[Verse 3]

Oh, avalanche on a summer day
What did I do, what did I say
I know where to run so don't give it away
Just take my hand and come my way

[Verse 4]

Yes, grab my hand, let's run let's ride
We'll hide together if we have to hide
Don't flee the snow all on your own
We're stronger together than we are alone

[Chorus]

Cause' there's an avalanche on a summer day
It's blinding bright so don't look away
The mighty snow is rolling along
We'll dance the night till its wrath is gone

[Verse 5]

I've said it to many, I've learned it from few
I'm dead and lost if I'm not with you
If the cold kills us there'll be nothing to do
And we'll keep dancing forever,
Just you, me, and the Grim Reaper too

[Chorus]

Cause' there's an avalanche on a summer day
It's blinding bright so don't look away
The mighty snow is rolling along
We'll dance the night till its wrath is gone
We'll dance the night till its wrath is gone
We'll dance the night till its wrath is gone

[Fade out]

  1. This is great, Jason! Especially considering you don't have much experience with songs yet. I tend to write more songs than poems myself, and it becomes challenging to keep the lyrics fresh and meaningful. Your diction, rhyme schemes, and pacing all feel really good so far, and I look forward to hearing it once you've put it to music!

    1. Thanks! I was a little nervous as to whether it would be good, but it seems to have come out rather well. I can't wait to put it to music!
