Everything's Dead Pretty When it Snows Unusually for me, I thought of the title and theme of this song way before I wrote the words and music. Well, I say I thought of the theme: all I knew was I wanted to write a Christmas song, and it should be called 'Everything's Dead Pretty When it Snows'. It was a sunny day in the spring, which probably didn't help. I even remember telling my mate Miles about it while we walked through Stockport or somewhere like that on the way to the football at the end of the season. Anyway, yeah. When it got cold again I wrote it all, whoosh, just like that, all in a day, 20 November 2005! I debuted it at the Earl in Sheffield a couple of weeks later, on a bill with Monkey Swallows the Universe, Lardpony and Champion Kickboxer, when I played really badly on account of being massively drunk. But since then it's become a proper festive favourite, part of every December's sparkly ritual of fun Christmas popshows, with on-stage sleighbell shaking and all sorts! It's Christmas Eve lunchtime and I, My mates are preparing to down (festive guitar solo) It snows but I feel warm as toast |
