This is the first part of a 3 part suite - Frozen Strings. Paul was originally inspired to write after watching a video that I uploaded. The inspiration then jumped to Andy who came up with the original music. George jumped on board with his powerful voice and I added some noodling.
We all sincerely hope that you enjoy the result.

Frozen Strings
(v1)
The white is so blinding but I can't close my eyes
My guitar speaks in hurried phrases for fear of freezing
My fingers are numb but they keep playing on
The sounds echo off the ice and are so, so pleasing
(v2)
Follow my movements through an icy fortress
The frost gods have left the music frozen in the snow
I can feel it through the strings freezing my soul
The air is standing still, even the wind cannot blow
(chorus)
So hurry now
It's something you've never felt
Don't worry now
Coz it will never melt
Listen as my guitar sings
Wondrous things played on frozen strings, on frozen strings
(bridge)
The cold speaks through the whispering wind
I can feel the icy touch so deep within
As it wraps around me and covers my skin
(v3)
Watch the moon bow down to this glorious sound
There's no choice but to surrender to the chilly night
Let the cold grab you now, it will keep you warm
As you move through the many shades of white
(chorus)
