Will McMillan recorded this song on an Apple laptop using GarageBand. He added a few additional layers — such as the spring peepers — with Doug Hammer at Doug's studio north of Boston.

Snow Flake Song
By WIll McMillan. Copyright 2008
When did snowflakes fall so sweet?
And pirouette around my feet?
I stop and sniff along the street...
Oh when did snowflakes fall so sweet?
When did snowflakes fail to melt?
And soften up their polar belt?
This is the oddest thing I've felt...
Oh when did snowflakes fail to melt?
When did snowflakes fall so pink?
The weather is too warm I think...
I puzzle then I pause and blink.
When did snowflakes fall so pink?
When did snowflakes drift in pools?
And float around like bits of jewels?
What deity has bent the rules?
Oh, when did snowflakes drift in pools?
Oh, can it be that spring is here?
Our coats and gloves can disappear!
While Mother Nature shifts a gear...
Oh, can it be that spring is here?
When did snowflakes fall so sweet?
And pirouette around my feet?
I stop and sniff along the street..
Oh when did snowflakes fall so sweet?
