The funny thing about my local college radio station (KUCI) is that some of the DJs play songs which, had you described them to me, I would have thought I would never like in a million years–and yet hearing them, I find them oddly compelling.

I say that as preface to the following because, look, the lyrics were totally cheesy, and it was basically a _choir_ song, like as in, I mean, high school choir or summer chorus or something. I’d never think this was a good song, but somehow, I loved it.

But a search for the lyrics on Google turns up nothing.

Snippets I remember are, (don’t laugh guys! 🙂 )

“What are you? A flake of snow. What am I? A grain of sand.” (I promise this worked in context!

Something like “Turned out there was a song at the top of my lungs, waiting to be sung.”

“There is a place, there’s snow inside.”

And now I’ve forgotten any other lines from the lyrics. There were better, and more identifacatory, ones to be quoted. But I’ve lost them.

Well, anyway. Ringing a bell?

Chorally arranged, with a piano and a tambourine. Lyrics struck me as at least implicitly religious or “spiritual.” (May have been explicit, I couldn’t understand every lyric but I think “God” may have been in there.) Prominent female soloist–alto, maybe lower–in front of a chorus of background singers.

I take it back. That’s not the song, and I think it’s not even the right band.

Heh, thanks, I try to craft my threads _just so_.

The song has been found [here.](http://www.myspace.com/thechoirpractice) The song I hear was the one titled “I see things.” I haven’t listened to any of the others on that page yet.
