The band released this statement:
"I'm going to keep this short, and hopefully fairly devoid of pompous self-importance. Snowing has come to an end at the ripe old age of 3 and a half (that's over 90 in emo years!). Words are really escaping me right now, so I'll just say this: We had a blast writing songs, driving across the country playing shows, imbibing copious amounts of alcohol, and earning future grey hairs by reading all about ourselves on message boards. Thanks for everything."

Snowing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In Snowing's song Kirk Cameron Crowe, the singer seems to be expressing their intense attraction towards someone they've been noticing for a while. There is a tension in the singer's voice, as they seem to be questioning their own trustworthiness, and this creates a sense of insecurity and vulnerability that underscores the lyrics. The singer expresses that they feel lost and aimless without a reason, but they are convinced that they could love this other person if only they could stop staring at them when they mess up their sentences. The singer seems to be suggesting that their nervousness and self-doubt are being exacerbated by the object of their affection, which makes it difficult for them to communicate.
The singer also expresses a desire to be noticed by the object of their affection at other times when they feel more secure and happy - for example, when they are smiling because snow is falling outside or when they are frightened because the brakes of a car have locked. But it is only in moments of extreme emotion that the singer feels they can express their true feelings. The final line of the song - "I hope you know that I'll love you" - suggests that there is something unrequited about the singer's feelings; they are expressing their love to someone who may not feel the same way. The lyrics of Kirk Cameron Crowe are full of emotional tension, uncertainty, and vulnerability, making it a powerful and moving song.

I don't mean to offend you, but I wish you looked at me with the same intensity you do when I'm at my worst, during moments of vulnerability such as when I can't sleep, when I am happy, or when we are in danger.
