Snowman is a collection of memories from my youth living in the rural Finger Lakes region of New York State.
lyrics
SNOWMAN
HEY MAMA, WHY’D YOU HAVE TO DROWN THAT RABBIT?
HEY MAMA, WHAT DO MEAN YOU “GOTTA KICK THE HABIT”?
WELL, YOU KNOW, THE RABBIT GOT MAULED BY THE DOG
WELL, YOU KNOW, SMOKING’S NOT GOOD FOR YOU AT ALL
HEY SISTER, WHY AM I SCARED AT NIGHT?
HEY SISTER, WHY DO I NEED A NIGHT-LIGHT?
WELL, YOU KNOW, NIGHT-TIME’S WHEN WE’RE MOST ALONE
WELL, YOU KNOW, SUN’S GONNA GREET YOU IN THE MORNING
THUNDERSTORM’S COMING AND IT MAKES ME NERVOUS
THUNDERSTORM’S COMING AND MY STOMACHES HURTING
THUNDERSTORM’S COMING AND IT MAKES ME NERVOUS
GONNA GO INSIDE AND DRAW THE CURTAINS
HEY BROTHER, WHY DO I HAVE TO WRESTLE IN SCHOOL?
HEY BROTHER, WHY DO THE OTHER BOYS BREAK THE RULES?
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT’S IMPORTANT TO BE TOUGH
WELL, YOU KNOW, TO WIN SOME PEOPLE PLAY ROUGH
HEY PAPA, WHY’D YOU PUNCH A HOLE IN THAT WALL?
HEY PAPA, WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE “GONNA LEAVE IN THE FALL”?
WELL, YOU KNOW, IT’S HARD TO CONTROL MY ANGER SOMETIMES
WELL, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE MUST PAY FOR THEIR CRIMES
SNOWSTORM’S COMING AND IT MAKES ME GLAD
SNOWSTORM’S COMING AND IT MAKES ME HAPPY
SNOWSTORM’S COMING AND IT MAKES ME GLAD
GONNA GO OUTSIDE AND BUILD A SNOWMAN

Recorded in the basement of PodunkWest Studios.
Podunk expat living in Oregon trying to remember to put the chickens in and the cats out at night. Will the woodshed ever get built? I wonder. Somewhere between family and fortune is a bit of quiet space where I get a song written now and then.
It feels like these folks are writing about real life everyday experiences. Sounds authentic rather than old-timey songs about old-timey songs. Daniel Heila & Daniel Boone's Fault
Dan is a true American songwriter in a post-punk, neo-Rock'n Roll kind of style that invokes the proto Alt-Rock days of early to mid-80's. GOOD MUSIC! Daniel Heila & Daniel Boone's Fault
