In “Southern Snow”, Gabriel mentions that his sister “walked into the woods and was never seen again.” This is her song. She was born stranger than anyone else in the family and felt most comfortable far away from civilization. She spends her time with animals, or alone. But like weeds, rumors of her always spring forth from the homes she finds. This song follows a young boy dying of leukemia. He’s heard rumors that there’s a witch in the woods with odd powers, and in a last ditch effort, decides to find her and ask if she’ll help. She reveals herself, hears his story, and after some deliberation, bites into his flesh and sucks the cancer from his blood. He is saved, but she must leave and find a new set of woods to inhabit, both for her safety and any sense of peace.
