That affirmation was a turning point for Matt, as he realized that his true passion was using his voice to interpret a song. He grabbed a guitar, taught himself to play and began composing his own music the summer before he entered Nashville’s Vanderbilt University. Before the first day of class commenced, Billy Adair, Director of the Vanderbilt/Blair School of Music Blair Big Band, had already recruited Matt to sing for the Band. Soon, Matt was directing himself, leading the Dodecaphonics, an all-male a Capella campus group.
The rising star eventually came to the attention of Nashville’s music industry following a performance of the Nashville Jazz Orchestra. That performance landed him a televised appearance as a featured entertainer for the Miss Tennessee Scholarship Pageant 2006, which eventually led him to Green Hill Music, where he recorded an album of Christmas standards for the independent label. That album quickly became one of the label’s best selling holiday releases that season.
Let It Snow
Matt Belsante Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the fire is so delightful
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've brought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
Fire is slowly dying and, my dear
We're still goodbying
As long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
He doesn't care if it's in below
He's sitting by the fires glossy glow
He don't care about the cold
And the winds that blow
He just says, let it snow
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
Ooh, wee, goes the storm
Why should he worry
When he's nice and warm?
His girl by his side
And the lights turned low
He just says, let it snow
Let it snow, I don't care
Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But that fire is, mmm, delightful
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've brought lots of corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
So, let it snow, 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'll only hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
Fire is slowly dying and, my dear
We're still goodbying
Long as you love me so
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
The song "Let It Snow Let It Snow Let It Snow" is a classic Christmas song that speaks of loving the winter weather despite its harshness. It is a reminder to be thankful for the warmth of a good fire and the joyous companionship of loved ones during the holiday season. The lyrics depict a couple who are trapped indoors due to the snow and harsh weather, but they are not bothered as they find comfort and happiness in each other's company. The song begins by setting the tone of the weather being "frightful" but the fire being "delightful." The couple has nowhere to go, so they stay indoors and enjoy each other's company. They are not worried about the weather, but instead, they choose to "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow."
The second verse speaks of the singer bringing corn to pop, which further emphasizes the coziness of being stuck indoors. They are happy to be in each other's presence, and the lights are turned down low, creating an intimate atmosphere. The chorus is repeated, and the bridge is about when they finally have to say goodnight, and the fire is slowly dying. The harsh weather is still ongoing, but their love keeps them warm, and they do not want the night to end.
The final verse talks about the man's complete indifference to the weather as he has his girl by his side. He doesn't worry about the cold, but instead says, "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow." The song ends with them inside, enjoying the warmth of the fire, and being content in each other's arms.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
The weather outside is terrible
But the fire is so delightful
The fire is pleasant and warming
Since we've no place to go
Because we have nowhere to be
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow
It's okay if it continues to snow
It doesn't show signs of stopping
It doesn't seem like the snow will stop anytime soon
And I've brought some corn for popping
I brought some corn to make popcorn and enjoy the snow
The lights are turned way down low
The lights are dimmed for a cozy atmosphere
When we finally kiss goodnight
When we say goodnight with a kiss
How I'll hate going out in the storm
