This song is rough recorded in 1 take on my Zoom ... a song about my grandmother who I always think of as Advent approaches.

Let It Snow (copyright 2025 by Mike Dampf)

At her window in the spring, at her window everything
then the summer, then the fall
waiting for the call

She was there, I knew it well, loneliness rings like a bell
far away, on thinning air
but I was young and didn't care

"and who will climb the stairs for me
and who will bring his heart to see
these bitter stars, this hungry soul
let it snow, let it snow"

Dusty star on a metal tree, advent mass on a small tv
a ticking clock, an empty chair
an old, gray partridge in a pear

Finally I made the call but there was no one there at all
a clock unwound, a book unread
an open cage, a bird that fled

Soon the 12 days and the star, hope love finds you where you are
you'll hear bells on thinning air
but you are young and may not care

Let It Snow (Advent Song)

Writing songs and kitchen party playing with my many musical friends ... pretty much sums it up.

Roger Pancake is the pseudonym of the German music nerd Mark Korthals, regarding himself a musician. He is best known (to those who know) for his musical contributions to a long history of local Cologne and Magdeburg band projects from midst of the eighties until today. After his last project recording a personal version of Beck‘s Songreader with The Jehnny Dopps, he is now, under the project name The Cosmic Hum, releasing (well, rather small step by small step) his debut solo album entitled Reveal yourself: late coming of age like stuff, taking himself seriously in the one and only respect of having fun doing this.
