about

The single is an emotional ode to the festive period experienced in the absence of a loved one. It reflects the cold realisation of facing Christmas alone. The song's narrative is visually captured by director Paul Griffin bringing to life the tale of a lost snowman seeking a reunion with a long-lost friend, drawing parallels to the heartrending journey of separation and the search for reconnection. The song is released on December 1st with the video premiering on Christmas Eve. The ending of the track was captured from leaving the studio and hearing the bells of Coleshill Town Church and scrambling to get voice memos up on the phone to record.

lyrics

I’m hoping for the snow to fall upon my cheek
To say I’m not crying, no I’m not crying
For you

To think I’m going to be alone, this time of year
it breaks my heart in two, that I’m not over you
In time for Christmas

And I'll be sat waiting here
a drink for comfort not for cheer
To hibernate would be a dream
To hide from you just how I feel

But I still wish you well
Coz I always feel the same the night I fell for you
This time of year

You left me like The Snowman, how i hate that film
It gets me every time, I watched you melt away
and leave me in the cold

Your laughter echoes round my head, its hard to sleep
A picture of your smile, still sits above the fire
and helps me stay warm.

And here I stand, amidst the thaw
Through frosted glass I hide once more
When the lights went out on Christmas eve
I never thought that you would leave

But I still wish you well
But I still wish you well
But I still wish you well
Coz I always feel the same the night I fell for you
This time of year
