I was looking back through the songwriting section to see what I have missed over the last several months, when I realized I'd missed your intro to "Yellow Snow."

I wasn't sure what to expect from the lyrics, because the drums, bass, and guitar all sound non-humorous, played and recorded very nicely. They could make the song quite serious, if you wanted it to go in that direction.

But then your singing comes in (and I like how you recorded the vocals twice and panned them left and right), and the lyrics made me chuckle quite a bit, not so much because of the concept of yellow snow (which *is* amusing), but because of how you sing "yellow snow" with a high warble, and then follow it up with this great line (that even rhymes): "This is where more instruments will go...some bongos, some cowbell, some more bass and guitar, ohh-ohh."

I hope you keep that line in the final version, because talking about the instruments that you will put in the song (but perhaps never actually do) is pretty funny!

If you just leave this intro as the entire song, it becomes even funnier!
