about

Yes, the first word of the song is "And"; this was intentional, as though coming into the song mid-thought.

The lyrics can be interpreted in a few different ways - most obviously it's about snow (despite being written on the 6th of July, 2001), there IS also a subtext of UFOs/aliens, and there is even sort of a comment on the music itself; it's really sort of all of those things all at once.

In the end, it was just for fun anyway, trying to recall a sense of winter, when it was right in the middle of summer, which was part of why they chose to arrange the song using electric 12-string guitars and multi-part harmonies

lyrics

Blanketed White
=============

And what could it be?
Falling from the sky
Looking down on life
Changing the keys

Blanketed white
Sensuous light
A solid rain
Cleanse the air

And what do you see?
Floating in the sky
Looking down on life
And changing the keys

Changing the key
Looking down on life
Floating in the sky
What do you see?

Blanketed White
Warm starlight
Sudden rain
Fills the air

What do you see?
What do you see?

Blanketed white
A contrast to night
See-through rain
A lens in the air

(A) Mist the sun
Burns away
Dust blown by the
Invisible, invincible
Wind

Wide-Eyed Ypsilanti, Michigan

Formed in the beginning of 2001, Wide-Eyed is Tina Lambright and Patrick Pyne. Despite being a duo, they rotated instruments for recordings to make full, band-oriented songs of varying sounds and styles. Their music can be generally described as experimental pop, or psychedelic rock, but avoiding cliches of any genre.
