Snowfall on Orchard (feat. José James)

from Were Most Of Your Stars Out? by Taali

/

about

Behind the inspiration, Taali shares, “‘Snowfall on Orchard’ and its surrounding EP, ‘Were Most Of Your Stars Out?’ honor where I come from, where I've journeyed, and where I've landed. I wrote "Snowfall on Orchard" with José in Manhattan, during a blizzard. It was and remains a transparent, dreamy accounting of the beginning of a love affair. After I wrote the song, I settled in Los Angeles for two years, where my writing and creativity exploded. Los Angeles (the current worldwide capital of songwriting, in my opinion), shaped my sound and it shaped my soul. We founded our record label with Brian Bender in Atwater Village, and now run the label as a bicoastal venture. The song grounds us in the city we wrote and recorded it (NYC), and the city where it was mixed and released (LA).”

lyrics

This is what I meant to say
In a letter yesterday my love
Will you stay?

Falling slow
Almost home

We can fall a thousand times
Let the moonlight catch your eye my love
While we sigh

Falling slow
Almost home

Let a song rise up from quiet mouths
Let it call
Let it fall
Down on us

Let me know
Let it show
Finally mine
All I know
All aglow
In light

Maybe this is something right
All I want and all I need tonight
All my life

Falling slow
Almost home

Falling slow
Almost home
