Thanks to Cindy for vivid lyric. The chorus fell into the 6/8 groove, in a cool way I thought, and I went from there.
Thanks for bearing with the rough take!
This Snowy Morning
© 2022 Cindy Prince
It's early and it's quiet
The snow is falling
I'm out walking the trail
My senses are heightened
Morning is dawning
I'm loving every detail
The flakes are big
I like the taste
When they hit my tongue
The day is cold
Snow hits my face
I remember being young
Chorus
The early sun hits the creek
Golden sparks shine and move
Early birds begin to rise up
There's no way I can improve
This morning...this snowy morning
My snow boots crunch
With every step
I follow the deer's route
I'm so amazed
By the snow's depth
Now the birds are all about
Bridge
My hands are cold even with gloves
Yet I hesitate
Mornings like this I so love
Home will have to wait
Repeat chorus

What a bright and beautiful song. You've woven a really lovely and strong melody around Cindy's simple yet very moving words. They touch a chord in any of us who has experienced a snowy winter morning. A fine collaboration, you two. :)

A ton of energy in your strumming and really nice vocals to convey the joy of Cindy's tribute to a beautiful winter morning. I love, love, love the melody you came up with, Ed.

Thus is absolutely lovely. 6/8 time and the movement of the strum is perfect! Lovely images and joyful wonder!
@cheslain Feb 2022
Beautiful! The lyrics describe a perfect winter morning with such detail it really paints a picture of the scene. The music is equally beautiful sounding very sincere and joyous. I hear a bit of a Cat Stevens vibe there, which I love. Great melody.

Really beautiful interpretation of the fantastic imagery provided by the lyrics. A nice morning wake up song for me. :) Very nice collab !

This is so perfect! The guitar is wonderful and it has the same feel I felt in that walk! I love your performance! Thank you!
