Ukraine Will Prevail – New Single
Did you know our Natasha Blasick is originally from Ukraine? She grew up in Odessa. So it’s a safe bet that the war in Ukraine is top of mind for us and deep in our hearts.
Love Above All – Music Video
Love Above All was inspired by a hashtag movement – #loveaboveall2020 – created by our friend Al Ortega who is well known as a red carpet and Getty Images photographer He got busy shooting Hollywood’s denizens holding signs in support of it.
Bass and vocals by Natasha Blasick
Instruments, vocals and producing by Martin Blasick
Directed by Al Ortega
I took Al’s message to be what comes after – in a more perfect world – we meet the moment of 2020’s challenges, a day all people easily say Black Lives Matter and understated what it really means and doesn’t mean. In that hypothetical utopia what comes after? This is Snowflakes’ take on that.
Al came over to our place and directed the video. I did the edit in Premiere.
Love Above All
Where were you
In the summer of 2020?
In the middle of it all?
Or watching everything from afar?
I saw things I never dreamed
Things I thought would never come to be
It was a song whose time has come
Like a rising of the sun
Bright as a star
Love above all
Love above all
Be still my friend
And hear the call
There’s still work and miles to go
Along the way
But in the end
It’s love
Love above all
Damn the plague
There’s injustice that’s boiling over
It’s been going on too long
Can’t figure out how to end that song
Then there came a spark of fire
You can’t contain the human heart’s desire
It was a spirit of the soul
And a calling to be whole
Now sing along
chorus
We can be standing by side
The time is now
To let go of foolish pride
Free, we’re free
chorus

Set List
Debut Single – Like A Wave
We’ve been recording and are prepping for our debut single to drop on Oct 16. We’ve played a lot of live shows and recorded a bit before. But we haven’t yet had an official release.
Like A Wave is the title. We’ve had such a great time making music together we really feel it’s time to make it official.
The pic of Natasha is from our home studio. It was a promo shoot for something else, but the pic is seriously fun. We’ll shoot some selfies as we work on the track.
