Their LPs were individualized by the slogan "The Sound of Magnificence", a puffy cloud logo and sepia-toned photo of the orchestra. According to the photograph, the 101 Strings orchestra was composed of 124 string instruments (all male except for the harpist) and was conducted by Wilhelm Stephan. The orchestra's famous official photograph was taken in the Musikhalle Hamburg. In reality, of course, the recordings also featured a full brass, woodwind and percussion section, and not quite as many strings as are shown in the photograph. In later years (right up to the 80's), the recordings were made by a session orchestra in London, with a line-up including a modern "pop" rhythm section. In the late 1990's, the 101 Strings Orchestra was revived with "The New 101 Strings Orchestra" for a series of modern recordings.

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!
101 Strings Orchestra Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

When we finally say good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,

But as long as you love me so.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

Overall Meaning

The first verse of 101 Strings Orchestra's "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" sets the scene for the song with lyrics that touch upon the cold, wintry weather outside and the warm, comfortable atmosphere indoors. The song's narrator describes the unfavorable climate, referring to it as "frightful" but also alludes to the delightful fire that warms the hearth inside. Since he has nowhere to be, he has decided to enjoy the storm and welcomes more snow. He's accompanied by a partner, who, like him, has no reason to leave. Together, they welcome the storm outside while they cozy up inside.

In the next verse, the singer asserts that the snow doesn't seem to be stopping, so he brought some corn to pop as they wait indoors. The lyrics also hint at a romantic night in. The low light in the room creates a serene atmosphere, as they both bask in the beauty of the moment.

In the final verse, the song shifts towards more of an intimate feel as the singer refers to "finally say goodnight." He expresses his reluctance to leave the confines of the indoors and be exposed to the icy storm. However, he softens his tone while seeking warmth in the embrace of his partner. The final lines illustrate the song's moral, as the singer professes that no matter the weather or circumstances, as long as he has the love of his dear, he will be happy no matter what.

Line by Line Meaning

Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
The current climate outside is horrific

But the fire is so delightful,
However, our indoor situation is lovely

And since we've no place to go,
Given that we have no other plans,

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
We should allow it to snow as much as it can.

It doesn't show signs of stopping,
The snow doesn't seem to be stopping anytime soon.

And I brought some corn for popping;
I brought corn to roast during our indoor staycation.

The lights are turned way down low,
The lighting inside has been dimmed.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
We should let the snowfall never cease.

When we finally say good night,
As we part ways for the night,

How I'll hate going out in the storm;
I dread leaving and facing the snowstorm,

But if you really hold me tight,
Unless you hold me tightly,

All the way home, I'll be warm.
I'll feel warm and secure on the way home.

The fire is slowly dying,
The fire inside is gradually reducing in strength,

And my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
And my dear, we're still in the process of saying goodnight.

But as long as you love me so.
But as long as you hold me dear and love me,

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
We should let the snowfall never cease.
