英语歌曲：Radical Face - Southern Snow

Ben Cooper is more than just a musician: he’s a storyteller, and a good one at that. Cooper, who previously¹ was one-half of Electric President, brings his voice to the table as Radical² Face and has now completed the second installation of his musical trilogy, The Family Tree.
The Family Tree centers around Cooper’s fascination³ with history, genealogy⁴ and fictional⁵ events. Although the story of the Northcotes is more mythology⁶ than history, Cooper has taken elements from people in his life to create this musical story.

歌词：

Song：Southern Snow
Artist：Radical Face

It was the year my son was born
The same year my sis' walked into the woods
And was never seen again
I still call her name sometimes, just in case

The snows came at noon
And the sky was a bitter blue

Some were callin' it a punishment from God
Then my dad said:
"That's a strange thing to call the weather"
And we laughed together
