Standing on the street just to see if someone
Cares enough to say to me
Get out of the way
Some will ask you to move, 
others they’ll run you through
If you think you’re better of alone
Then hang up the phone when it rings

But don’t you entertain the idea 
Of drinking coffee in the rain
Don’t you entertain the idea
Of whisky to ease the pain

Smoking to remember someone’s name
Is like smelling a flower without a scent
Never knew what you meant, 
Now I’m feeling lost and circumspect

It was over the day we met
Like a sunset at the beach I could deliver half a speech
But my words are in retreat

Don’t you think we’re better off
Drinking coffee in the rain
Don’t you think we’re better off
With whisky to ease the pain

A piano deconstructed helps let out the sound
But someone has to play it I’m too busy playing around
Playing some love-struck fool
We all have to love someone just not the one we choose.

Over your shoulder they’ll be someone else to meet
This city’s to full of strangers and drifters
Get hard sifting out those friends 
From those who blow in like the wind

And the season ends and you’re coughing up change at the Laundromat
Speaking to those you’ve never met
Some how people find each other 
In this jungle of a place, I remember your face

I’d recognize it anywhere
With some coffee in the rain
Recognise it anywhere
With whisky to each the pain

Drinking coffee in the rain
It’s full moon again
Drinking coffee in the rain

Fis - Two Swords (Auxilliary)(Rinse fm - Autonomic Show - 06-07-2011)

Don't pick up your feet,
Don't pretend your heart keeps a beat
It's a lonely hour and the flower is under her heal
There goes Jack and here comes Jill

She builds a picture and reflects it on to me
Pass it on and beat it out, Pass it on and beat it out

The theme you hold will dissolve
And mine never will subside
It's a lonely hour

I build a room and I climb inside
I'd ask you in if you'd tell me the time
But Jack and Jill never made it up the hill

He fell down and broke his crown

Throwing Snow 
‘Aspera’ 
December 3rd 2012 
Snowfall

Having minted his Snowfall imprint with the acclaimed ‘Clamor’ EP earlier this year, Ross Tones aka Throwing Snow returns on December 3rd for his second EP of 2012, the eagerly awaited ‘Aspera’. As with its predecessor, the title comes laced with Latin rhetoric: “Aspera” translating as “to make rough”, providing an apt description for the aesthetic of the four original tracks on offer. 

From the title track Tones' creative direction is clearly displayed. Hinging round a warming bass, coarse stripped back drums accompany frosty arpeggios and washed out synths atop a bed of hidden strings, whilst on ‘Melum’ flickering percussion, ethereal guitars and throbbing melodic jabs combine with Throwing Snow’s trademark distortion, culminating in an unexpected segment of footwork punctuating the track’s expansive growth.

‘Lingerwell’ sees four knackered piano chords wrapped in warm crackles and hypnotic atmospherics blooming into life with a burst of pulsating stabs, before ‘Behest’ closes the EP with a climactic slugging match of drowned drums, throbbing bass and ecclesiastical synths, and a drop to make even the most atheistic of us think again.

Snowfall is now two releases strong, and having set out with an honest mission statement we are left highly anticipating what will surface next.
