I do have a lot to share, but I'll keep it short for now.
I watched the Netflix series Challenger: The Final Flight about 5 years ago and it brought back a lot of memories. I remembered exactly where I was when I heard the news. I remembered watching Reagan address the nation that evening. And I remember the first impression I got when I saw the actual event. There was this massive cloud, and then out of that there were these white streamers that came out of the cloud and spiraled down to the ocean. And as they descended I thought, of all things, Snowfall.
So I started working on my Snowfall project in 2022. I was just about done with it in 2023 but I set it aside to work on After The Storm, and then a project for a friend, and then the trip to Real World Studios (and Calling Carolina).
And I've got another project (or four) in the works. But then about 6 months ago I decided to dust off Snowfall. I got it finished, with a little help from my daughter. How fitting that I finished the song in 2026, the 40th anniversary of the Challenger Disaster?
Or was I finished?
Because even after I released the song, it still hadn't released me.
Whenever I listened to Snowfall, these images played in my head. Whenever I shared the song, I would tell people the story of what I was seeing in my mind.
I realized that this song wasn't going to let go of me until I got those images out of my head and into the world. And so I made my first music video.
Please enjoy Snowfall:
