White Winter Hymnal
Pentatonix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was following the pack
All swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
In the summertime
I was following the pack
All swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
And turn the white snow red as strawberries
In the summertime
I was following the pack
All swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
And turn the white snow red as strawberries
In the summertime
The lyrics to Pentatonix's "White Winter Hymnal" paint a picture of a group of people trudging through the snow, bundled up in their coats and scarves, trying to stay warm. The singer says that they were following this pack, and as they walked, they noticed one of their members, Michael, stumbling and falling in the snow. The imagery shifts, as the falling snow turns to red, as though it was stained with strawberries in the summertime.
At its core, this song is about the power of memory, and how seemingly mundane moments can become imbued with significance and meaning over time. The repetition of the lyrics, with the pack trudging through the snow, creates a sense of ritual and tradition, as though this is something they do every year. The sudden appearance of Michael stumbling creates a jarring interruption to this routine, and his fall becomes a kind of anchor for the memory of this particular day in the snow. The image of the red snow is also significant, as it suggests that even in the midst of something as innocuous as a fall in the snow, there can be a hint of danger or violence lurking.
Overall, "White Winter Hymnal" is a haunting and evocative song that speaks to the power of our memories and the way that they shape our understanding of the world.

And I turned 'round and there you go
I suddenly noticed your presence.
And, Michael, you would fall

And turn the white snow red as strawberries
