A Dark Folk Ballad Inspired by the Story “Snowfall and Silence”
The Story: When three days of relentless snow silence a small, isolated town, the Christmas bells are frozen still—a bad omen for the darkest night of the year. Every family clutches their hearth, knowing the rule: when the mysterious carolers arrive, you must not acknowledge their presence, no matter how sweet and perfect their song. Máire’s Crisis: At the end of the lonely lane, the widow Máire Kinsella must endure the ritual alone. But the song outside her door is too precise, too pure, and it begins to resolve into the exact voice of her dead husband, Tom. Her survival depends on resisting the coldest, most beautiful temptation.
Themes: Isolation, Supernatural Horror, Grief, Winter Dread, Forbidden Rituals.
Music & Production: Gerrard Wilson.
Lyrics: Gerrard Wilson
This song is an adaptation of the original short story, ‘Snowfall and Silence’ (Chapters One and Two, including ‘The Carolers at the Door’).”
