Cover art for Snow Angel lyrics by Over the Rhine

No comments on this gorgeous song? I'll be the first, as I sit and drown my sorrows in the song, sitting alone on Christmas Day.

"Goodbye to this cruel wicked world And all the tears I've cried"

The above lyrics speak to me and, though I know I've not experienced the loss of a loved one in a war, this song fills me with deep empathy at the pain it conveys. But there is a twinge of hope in the song for the afterlife, without the physical and emotional pains of life on Earth.

It is that lack of pain and sorrow that I look to right now. Merry Christmas everyone.
