| Genesis – Snowbound Lyrics | 18 years ago |
| On the album there are at least 2 other songs alluding to the early American West: "Deep in the Motherlode" and "Ballad of Big". With those songs in mind (my favorites) I always conjured up images of the doomed Donner party while listening to "Snowbound". Starvation and hypo-thermia can and do play tricks on the mind. The Motherlode (gold) country of Northern CA isn't far from Donner Pass. Whatever the true meaning, I still love this song after all these years. | |
