Now that I have a newfound faith in Spring to really turn days warmer, I have found that even the most wintery of anthems are full of this optimism for sunny days. This cutesy chanson by My First Tooth titled "Sleet and Snow" summarizes this idea with the contrast between the lyric adopted in the blog's title above, and its name, clearly a hangover from seasons past. The catchy rhythm guitar line which used to shelter me from raindrops has morphed into the new shape of bonfire singalongs, the major-to-minor chord progression which previously defined sadness takes one step further, when placed in direct sunlight, to resolve and end on a note of joyous occasion. And through this, a harmonica breakdown decides to pop in and encourage your feet to dance a silly jig. It's magical. One day you're celebrating the sun, the next you're wondering where the rain reappeared from.
Still we sing, sing through the storm - if you're sleet, I'm snow.
