Before The Snow (Music by Philleann and Rosin Dust, story and narration by Garddwr Porffor) by Garddwr Porffor published on 2022-01-01T10:30:03Z Philleann https://soundcloud.com/philleann and Rosin Dust https://soundcloud.com/rosindust produced a beautiful track called Wintertide https://soundcloud.com/philleann/wintertide-with-rosin-dust . I asked them if I could tell a story over it, they agreed and this is it! Thanks Phil and Tatiana : )I recommend their pages for lots more lovely music! Before The Snow He was just an old man from the time before the snow Before the katabatic winds drove ice down from the poles When people numbered billions across the surface of the Earth The world was blue and green with life Around the planets girth He said the beasts that burrow The skittering scrabbling things Had colour, grace and beauty Elegance and wings He told tales of beasts much larger than the stature of a man with scales and fur and teeth and claws Before the cold began He whispers there were things called trees 10 times higher than our huts with fruit and leaves and monkeys That men called carpenters would cut He keeps our people happy with his tales of long ago If there is truth within his stories we will surely never know And yet we can hear echoes From the time when things would grow Though he was just an old man From the time before the snow Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter Comment by Kenna-Rae I LOVE YOUR VOCALS AND LYRICS...and I am a sucker for strings big bigggg timeee!!!! o my goodness!!! 2022-02-25T20:32:09Z Comment by Kenna-Rae WOW!!!

Superb track by Phil and Tatiana and a silky smooth narration, Viv. Love it. 2022-01-02T10:40:40Z Comment by Jonathan Beckenstein This is perfection in collaboration. Beautiful in so many ways, and also testament to the creative power inherent in Soundcloud. The narration and music fit like hands in a glove (three hands in a very special glove). And the content, though chilling (no pun intended) is also oddly comforting. 2022-01-01T15:48:58Z Comment by rosin dust thank you, Viv -theatrical work turned out. Happy New Year again:) 2022-01-01T12:22:21Z Comment by Ian Stokes Wonderful Viv!! Great music from Phil and Tatiana! Lovely collaboration!! 2022-01-01T10:43:58Z
