Song Meaning of “Snowfall” by Lori Mechem
This wistful instrumental piece by Lori Mechem speaks of wintry sadness and a somber longing. The contemplation of snowfall visualizes the idea of things that are beautiful yet beyond our reach. The string-like piano notes suggest the feeling of acceptance that comes along with realizing we cannot have what we wish for. The opening melody, which brings us back to a calmer tempo and key in the end, reflects the hue of the falling snow—peaceful and gentle. It is perhaps a metaphor for how, despite the blues, life eventually finds ways to bring us to a place of closure, when the right time comes. With its sparse but effective composition, ‘Snowfall’ makes us feel the chill of the chill winter season and encourages us to make peace with what’s lost.
