Natural Snow Buildings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
InstrumentalAs the title suggests, Natural Snow Buildings' song "All Animals in the Form of Water" is an instrumental piece with no lyrics. However, the lack of words in no way detracts from the song's evocative power. The opening melody is a mournful yet beautiful string arrangement, with a simple repeating pattern that sets the tone for the rest of the piece. Over the course of the song, additional instruments (including piano and guitar) layer in and out, creating a complex and entrancing soundscape.
Despite the lack of lyrics, the song seems to tell a story through its melodies and harmonies. The mournful opening gives way to moments of soaring beauty, with the different instruments weaving together in intricate patterns. There's a sense of loss and longing throughout, but also a glimmer of hope and resilience. Perhaps the title of the song is meant to suggest that animals (and humans) are fluid and adaptable, capable of changing form and surviving even in the face of adversity.
Overall, "All Animals in the Form of Water" is a haunting and beautiful instrumental piece that showcases Natural Snow Buildings' skill in creating emotional and immersive music.
