Amphilium - Zero Hour

A quiet Christmas scene wrapped in static and snowfall, where love, arguments, and the weight of the year all blur together. Snow Keeps Falling Anyway drifts through the small moments that make the holidays both beautiful and unbearable: barking dogs outside, a half-empty bottle of gin, relatives we hardly see, and the silence that lingers after every fight.

Wishing everyone a peaceful, messy, beautiful Christmas 2025, hold your people close, even when it snows. 🎄✨

The tree’s half lit, the lights keep flickering,
You’re in the kitchen, quietly simmering,
Over words I shouldn’t have said,
Over ghosts we thought were dead.

Your mother’s laugh echoes down the hall,
Relatives we hardly see at all,
Talk about the year that’s gone,
Like nothing’s ever wrong.

Snow keeps falling anyway,
Covers all the things we’ll never say,
The dogs are barking down the street,
And the silence in here feels so complete.
Pass me that bottle of gin,
Let’s toast to what could’ve been,
Love’s a fight we both still play,
And snow keeps falling anyway.

We argue about who forgot to call,
While the tinsel droops and the needles fall,
I see the hurt behind your grin,
Another year, another sin.

Your brother’s talking politics again,
I fake a smile, you roll your eyes at him,
Outside it’s white, inside it’s gray,
But we’ll survive another day.

Snow keeps falling anyway,
Covers all the things we’ll never say,
The dogs are barking down the street,
And the silence in here feels so complete.
Pass me that bottle of gin,
Let’s toast to what could’ve been,
Love’s a fight we both still play,
And snow keeps falling anyway.

And maybe by the time the lights go out,
We’ll forget what this was all about,
Hold each other just to stay warm,
Two ghosts in a Christmas storm.

Snow keeps falling anyway,
Covers love that couldn’t stay,
The dogs still bark, the night won’t end,
Another year begins again.
Pass me that bottle of gin,
Let’s toast to what might’ve been,
We’ll laugh, we’ll fight, we’ll fade away,
While snow keeps falling anyway.

Bloody Sunday 1920: 'Croke Park Shootings'

Keith’s calling as a musician began at the tender age of five, when he  was gifted a toy organ. He promptly began playing renditions of the commercial jingles heard on television, and from there progressed to studying movie soundtracks. Keith’s realization of the profound effect music had in connecting with an audience launched him on his journey as a  composer.


Keith's compositions thoughtfully blend orchestral and electronic elements to create an emotionally enticing soundscape, while his gift for creating thematic music with captivating melodies enables the listener to travel on a personal  journey through the ebb and flow of each piece.

A graduate of the UCLA Extension Film Scoring Program, Keith studied  under notable film and television composers and industry professionals.  After completing his studies, he was awarded an internship with The Society of Composers and Lyricists Annual Mentor Program and selected as one of only 15 participants in the annual ASCAP Annual Film Scoring Workshop. Keith was later featured in Music Connection magazine in an article focusing on the diverse backgrounds of the group.

His album of New Age music entitled, "Etc...", was released through Bay Area record label Noir Records, which led to a collaboration with the  composer for the independent film, Park Day, for which Keith provided additional music. This film went on to win the Audience Award at the Urbanworld Film Festival.

Keith also scored the short film, The Showdown, which received the inaugural Triple Play Award for Best Technical Integration – Original Score at the Long Island International Film Expo.

While still passionate about writing New Age compositions, Keith also continues to work with music publishers and trailer house companies, where his music can be heard in various mediums.

The Unfinished is me, Matt Bowdler. I am a composer and sound designer, producing synth soundsets and sample libraries - both commercial and bespoke.

My sounds can be heard in Hollywood feature films, hit US and UK television shows and also AAA game scores. If you are interested in using my sound design services, please get in touch.

Here you can listen to demo tracks for my products, little sound design experiments and a whole bunch of other stuff. If you are interested in my composing, please check out my other account at soundcloud.com/matt-bowdler-music
