White winter trees Covered in snow I don't mind I don't mind I think of you now Here in the cold You won't mind You won't know But I never meant to say Any of those things Oh I never meant to tell you how To be or how to think Oh I was wrong Heavy of heart Weary of soul You won't mind You won't mind I think of him now Fathoms below You won't mind You won't know But I never meant to say Any of those things Words can sound so cruel When you speak before you think Oh I was wrong But you didn't understand That my heart was in your hands You were so blind Blind I promised you that I'd never let you down Oh but I couldn't love you any less than now And I promised you that I'd never let you down Oh but I couldn't love you any less than I do now And I lost myself on that November night White winter trees Covered in snow I don't mind
I found this song playing outside my hotel at my sisters wedding. It was a magical experience. Now this song and this band hold a dear spot in my heart, thank you the staves♡
I've been looking for this for three years! A friend recommended it to me back when I was in college, and I haven't been able to find it since. Took me this long just to remember the lyrics, though I remembered the song itself.
Yes.. and that is true love.. she never let him down.. even after a great big storm, she held on to hope(the tree) as she express her feelings in music.. but always after the storm there is beauty, and it's all worth it...
This song is a powerful link to a very special time. Thank you for giving me a way to go back and feel it all again. Time is meaningless here. Your forever devoted fan, Kyle
The very first instrument, that remains in the background, is the Indian classical instrument Santoor. It's been used so magnificently well, so immersive. I was so surprised, that I had to make sure by hearing it several times! Genius, Staves. Amazing.
This song really assists in looking deeper into things you see every day, simple things. I think I relieved my entire life in those peaceful three and a half minutes, carefully guided by the voices of angels. Thank you for making this song.
My 8 year old Son's class just did their Christmas 2016 concert dance to this song. it was perfect and beautiful. Such a stunning song and apt for the performance they did. so grateful to his teacher for giving me the opportunity to hear this gorgeous song.
Ever heard of a beautiful song with a haunting tune? Well.. The Stave just made this alive. So glad I found their album art somewhere and flashbacked me to 2013. I loved and forgot this song. Im terribly sorry but now, I will never let this go. ❤️
saw them for the first on bbc glasto special and was blown away!!! like hearing the beatles for the first time. saw them at the roundhouse and was mesmerised. beautiful melodies and the harmonies......... love they're not flogging an image. i'm sure it's been suggested. they seem to be in it for the music. something very special here
I heard this song months ago on BBC radio 6 while I was in work. I was listening to blood I bleed earlier in work and I ran to the radio to see who it was because I love the song. I typed it into RUclips straight away (because my memory is awful) and I stumbled on this. I never knew it was you. You have such an amazing sound. It reminds me of something my mum and dad used to listen too when I was younger and it's great. I hope to hear more from you :) thank you for keeping good music alive :)
White winter trees covered in snow I don't mind, I don't mind I think of you now, here in the cold You won't mind, you won't know But I never meant to say any of those things I never meant to tell you how to be or how to think Oh I was wrong Heavy up high, weary of soul You won't mind, you won't mind Think of him now, fathoms below You won't mind, you won't mind But I never meant to say any of those things Words can sound so cruel when you speak before you think Oh I was wrong But you didn't understand that my heart was in your hand You were so blind I promise that I will never let you down Oh, I couldn't love you any less than now And I promise that I never let you down Oh but I couldn't love you any less that I do now And I lost myself on that November night White winter trees covered in snow I don't mind, I don't mind
if performed by, I don't know, any post hard core band, with a few changes here and there... If I were performing it ,it's about how much I hate myself for a connection violently severed... I would do so in such a way that I could never make another sound again... I appreciate this version for the confidence it has in letting go on both sides... because I am unable to reasonably allow myself to do so... your situation grief and shame played the only serious roles... but guilt haunts forever
absolutely beautiful. i love this band. such wonderful interesting songwriting and beautiful harmonies. I wasn't surprised when I found out they were sisters, because they really sing as one.
My favorite part is at 3:42 when you get to hit the replay button.
Love the F natural in 'I don't mind' - the song is in D major, so it sounds really interesting and unexpected.
+James Collins I've heard a lot about you! You're an amazing person. 💙
I recommend you to hear the Native Men cover of this music, they change this part and it's genial as the original song
Taryn, check out Stephen Stills' 4+20, you will find the same.. and might enjoy !
Hay gran armonía aquí
I feel like I've stumbled upon something beautiful today
That's how I found them, love them.
Same. An unexpected but welcome surprise. Utterly enchanting.
I just love the structure of this song. Never heard anything like it.
White winter trees
Covered in snow
I don't mind
I don't mind
I think of you now
Here in the cold
You won't mind
You won't know
But I never meant to say
Any of those things
Oh I never meant to tell you how
To be or how to think
Oh I was wrong
Heavy of heart
Weary of soul
You won't mind
You won't mind
I think of him now
Fathoms below
You won't mind
You won't know
But I never meant to say
Any of those things
Words can sound so cruel
When you speak before you think
Oh I was wrong
But you didn't understand
That my heart was in your hands
You were so blind
Blind
I promised you that I'd never let you down
Oh but I couldn't love you any less than now
And I promised you that I'd never let you down
Oh but I couldn't love you any less than I do now
And I lost myself on that November night
White winter trees
Covered in snow
I don't mind
This has to be one of my favourite music videos EVER
I found this song playing outside my hotel at my sisters wedding. It was a magical experience. Now this song and this band hold a dear spot in my heart, thank you the staves♡
I love your profile picture, you have excellent taste!
@@sunnybaudelaire9384 thank you♡ you too
10 years on... Happy New Year to all The Staves. You have contributed more to music than you will ever know. Thank you, sincerely.
I really want a tattoo of this lovely creature
Yes!!!! Im not the only one..
Wow This is a hidden gem glad I found it.
THIS LITTLE CREATURE IS LIKE THE PHYSICAL REPRESENTATION OF MY SOUL.
I've been looking for this for three years! A friend recommended it to me back when I was in college, and I haven't been able to find it since. Took me this long just to remember the lyrics, though I remembered the song itself.
Brendan O'Toole Nahw, awesome!! :D

I was so surprised, that I had to make sure by hearing it several times!
Genius, Staves. Amazing.
It's tanpura :)
And yess,, the second instrument is santoor I guess
You can't beat a good drone.
This song really assists in looking deeper into things you see every day, simple things. I think I relieved my entire life in those peaceful three and a half minutes, carefully guided by the voices of angels. Thank you for making this song.
My 8 year old Son's class just did their Christmas 2016 concert dance to this song. it was perfect and beautiful. Such a stunning song and apt for the performance they did. so grateful to his teacher for giving me the opportunity to hear this gorgeous song.
It's that perfect harmony between sound and visuals. Achingly beautiful, and cathartic to the soul. Thank you Jools Holland.
Forever love this song, my Nan has played it to me since I was little ❤
I think the staves should be taken into the hearts of Britain and then the world , pure and beautiful music
BEST SONG EVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!
The musical trees must be themselves, Emily,Jessica and Camilla. Amazing Video.
Thank you youtube suggestion section! You are great! The Staves!
This Is A Lovely Song! It Just Makes Me Feel That We Don't Have To Fight, We Can Just Go In A Big Circle And Be Happy To What's Left Of This World! :)
that one minor note.... gives me the shivers.
Haunting, brilliant, harmonic. You girls are just epic.
Long time since I heard this song, heard the intro and immediately started to smile.
This song in combination with the video has all the elements of a great, rare story. Absolutely enchanting.
This is the most wonderful, enchanting, whatever, vide I've seen in a long long time.

White winter trees covered in snow
I don't mind, I don't mind
I think of you now, here in the cold
You won't mind, you won't know
But I never meant to say any of those things
I never meant to tell you how to be or how to think
Oh I was wrong
Heavy up high, weary of soul
You won't mind, you won't mind
Think of him now, fathoms below
You won't mind, you won't mind
But I never meant to say any of those things
Words can sound so cruel when you speak before you think
Oh I was wrong
But you didn't understand that my heart was in your hand
You were so blind
I promise that I will never let you down
Oh, I couldn't love you any less than now
And I promise that I never let you down
Oh but I couldn't love you any less that I do now
And I lost myself on that November night
White winter trees covered in snow
I don't mind, I don't mind
Terry Dillon gracias.
What do you think it means?

I think it's "heavy of heart"
Wicked... Just.. wow.
