“Wild Winter” by Smoke Fairies – A Song Review

     It may seem odd to post a winter song in June. But the lyrics of “Wild Winter” show that the song is about a relationship that has gone cold – 21 degrees below. The song belongs to Smoke Fairies, which is the UK duo of Katherine Blamire and Jessica Davies.

     The vocals of “Wild Winter” are soft and inviting. But particularly at the end to the track, the guitars create the impression to the relationship blizzard that cause voices to grow small.

Lyrics of “Wild Winter” by Smoke Fairies
You've got a shiver inside you
Under the ice where the stream still flows
Wind coming up behind you
You're 21 degrees below

I've got a shiver inside me
It's just a space where the chill whips through
I wish that you'd come and find me
And pull me back through your swirling blues

I never know what to give you
I'd give you the hope that would make you stay
I never know how to keep you
You're pale through the ice when you slip away

You've got a tremor that guides you
There's an echo you leave behind
Winter’s how I always finds you
You've got snow falling through your mind

I never know what to give you
I'd give you the hope that would make you stay
I never know how to keep you
You're pale through the ice when you slip away

Always meant to
Lead us through it all
Wild winter
Caught us in its jaws

Always meant to
Hear you when you call
Out in blizzards
Voices grew so small

Always meant to
Lead us through it all
Wild winter
Caught us in its jaws

Always meant to
Hear you when you call
Out in blizzards
Our voices grew so small
