Cool mystical feel on this one, Jim - seems like your Juno is really suited for songs like these.

Living in Maine, I've done the spin a few times on the road over the years (although luckily without collisions) - it's an odd feeling, this loss of control, and it seems like you captured some of that. And I agree with Gnasty, the occasional off-beat drums work on this.

Very atmospheric Jim, love it. You've made a common place walk in the snow sound very special.......Willie

Again i enjoyed the vox... to me the doo do's were almost the best part. It fit so well and instead of being filler actually contributed, i think, to the lyric. This is a nice display of building a track that works from the bottom up... even if it was a bit backwards than usual.

Loving this Jim, really eerie and quite spooky lyrics. It's simple but you create a wonderful feel with the Juno sounds. It's really impressive that you can take a bit of nooodling and turn it into a fully formed song like this.

Cheers,

very good song Jim, and one of my worst fears put to music. Sad.

Quite chilling in a way, but there's something very intimate about it too. Like being trapped inside a car with the snow coming down. I never thought a lyric like do-do-do... could be so catchy or effective! It really works here.

The music sounds like it's made out of icicles.

Brilliant.

This is great. i rather like the way the drums are off here n there sometimes when things arnt perfect that makes them perfect. If that makes sense. This is so atmospheric i really like it a lot. its got a bit of a spooky feel to it!!
