I would love to find She & Him talking about what this song means to them. It's my favorite song of theirs because it's about living your life to the fullest no matter where you are because "the summit doesn't differ from the big, dark valley
And the valley doesn't differ from the kitchen sink." "For those of you who tried but didn't make it," is referring to people who didn't show up for life in much the same way someone might wimp out for a test. Ah ha, but this is not a test! And I take that analogy further because I don't have faith in an afterlife: You are not going to be graded on your life. There is no one supreme being who will be judging your life, so just experience your life the best you can - feel free to experiment and improvise because it's okay to be wrong a lot in order to discover what's right. But let's say you do show up to what you think is a test, but you're nervous and wasting time on biting you're nails, overthinking what the best thing is to do, berating yourself for not having all the answers. Stop it. This is not a test. A percent of how much you got right in life does not show up on your tombstone. If you try doing better than your best, you don't enjoy the joy children have in drifts of snow. I have to say, though, I'm kinda stuck on what "Winters never quit, but winters never rest," means.
@MaloryV She introduces the image of kids being carefree and fun in the snow "We think of all the children in the drifts of snow" ...while others might be preoccupied shoveling snow or lamenting the inconveniences it may pose - you know grown up thoughts. "Winners never quit but winters never rest" - I think she just point out it is ok to be kind to yourself and enjoy things for their own sake, mere fact that you are here. Winter will return but you may not... so what are you really trying to win? Is there something to win?...
