Jonathan Foster - Snow Globe Angels (2024)
There are a lot of Winter songs that have nothing to do with Christmas, but that
hasn't stopped many of them from becoming fully embedded into the standard
holiday repertiore. So many songs about snow, sleigh rides and the weather
have been beaten to death that I understand why some people hate Christmas
music.
To any singers and musicians out there who have a desire to add "Baby, It's
Cold Outside" to their concert setlists or new albums this year, all I've got
to say to you is, please don't. We've had enough!
Thankfully, folk singer
Jonathan Foster - who has six full-length albums to his credit - has just released a
new single, "Snow Globe Angels," for this 2024 Yuletide season. This pleasant,
original song is available digitally on iTunes and Bandcamp.
The song tells the tale of people happily playing in the snow while the singer is entertained by the show happening outside his window and staying toasty by the fire.
The lyrics also mention wool sweaters, tea kettles and rum, all warming items
waiting for the playful, outside adventurers to enjoy once they come indoors.
Foster discussed the inspiration for the song. "The original idea was children when I wrote it, but it's really just the joy of anyone playing in the snow and the comforts thereafter." He added, "I like to say it doesn't matter what age you are, it's fun to make a snow angel, just bring a friend along to help me get back up, especially when
there's rum or brandy to warm the bones."
"Snow Globe Angels" spotlights Foster's always appropriate laidback vocals and
another one of his many uncluttered arrangements. It features acoustic guitar,
harmonica, dobro and light percussion. You'll even hear some jingle bells.
