Songfacts®:

  • This jazz-frosted song finds Bush singing about falling for a snowman who melts away after a night of passion. She wakes up the next morning with wet sheets and a pile of twigs. The singer admitted to The Washington Post that she can't explain where such songs come from. Said Bush: "By that point I had really homed in on writing about snow. It's like, where does anything come from? That's the fascinating thing about creative work. One minute it's not there, the next minute it is."
