Melodies in the Snow – Benjamin Leeway

Melodies in the Snow versammelt Texte, die Benjamin Leeway im Jahr 2010 unter einem anderen Pseudonym auf seinem Indie-Rock-Album The Line veröffentlichte. Zugleich bildeten sie die literarische Grundlage für seine 2025 erschienene Novelle Melodien im Schnee – Eine Geschichte über Vergänglichkeit und Neuanfang.

Der Titelsong Snow Life und seine lyrische Fortsetzung Snowball bilden das Herzstück des musikalischen Werkes und können hier auf benjaminleeway.com angehört und kostenlos heruntergeladen werden.

Roses are red, baby, snow is white
Violets are purple, where we’re going tonight

I’m standing in the snow the best that I can
Listen baby, I just wanna be your man
Pistol whip me, put your gun to my head,
because roses are red and I feel like I’m dead

And everywhere we go
She dances in the snow
She makes my body so hot
Living the snow life, now please don’t stop

Roses are red, baby, snow is white
Violets are purple, where we’re going tonight

I’m getting snow blind in this white land
Listen baby, I don’t wanna be your friend
Ride down the mountain from the top ’til the end
Just take my hand and please don’t try to understand

And everywhere we go
She dances in the snow
She makes my body so hot
Living the snow life, now please don’t stop

Roses are red, baby, snow is white
Violets are purple, where we’re going tonight

Do you remember?
It was last December
Didn’t want to surrender
It was last december
when a snowball hit…

Not enough for a vacation
And there’s too much snow outside
So we would smoke a cigarette
and go back to bed
without even trying

Because she didn’t care
at that time of the year
Go read a book
or maybe make up your look
Oh, Baby, so unaware
Of what I was about to do
that night

Do you remember?
It was last December
Didn’t want to surrender
It was last december
When a snowball hit
Your pretty face

I used to be conceited
Used to believe in things I did
But she didn’t let me take her down
and turned my game around
Playfully like a kid

I had the right
To shoot it right in her eyes
She had the nerve
To put my face into dirt
Finally I realized
That real Love hurts

Do you still remember?
It was last December
When a snowball hit
Your pretty face
Didn’t want to surrender
It was last December
When a snowball hit
Your tiny waist
Do you still remember?
It was last December
Didn’t want to surrender
It was last December
When a Snowball hit…

And you
Should know
That I do
Care for you

Do you still remember?
It was last December
When a snowball hit
My baby face
Didn’t want to surrender
Not until November
When a Snowball hit
My face again
Do you still remember?
It was last December
Didn’t want to surrender
It was last December
When a Snowball hit
Your lovely face

Standing in the rain

She didn’t know where to go or where she came from
I said now baby, don’t you play no games, don’t play, no
It’s time for me to walk away and leave but she didn’t wanna
go back and I was just about to lose it

She didn’t listen when I told her that it’s over
It was like she was dreaming, playing games with me, screaming
I was just about to leave but realized that I just couldn’t
When I heard her scream it felt like heaven to me, so she was

Standing in the rain

Where did I fail baby, was it even my fault
This is by far one of the saddest stories I’ve told
I should have left but then I saw her face and she was just
looking so sad and I was just about to lose it

Standing in the rain
