In their own words:
Snowclone is a Finnish duo that produces pop music with a strong Nordic flavor. The band was founded in 2007. It consists of Anna Sipilä, a vocalist with a unique voice that grants Snowclone its signature sound, and Tero Aalto, who takes care of all the rest.

Tero is a language technologist who has been writing songs for all his life, not only for Snowclone but also movies, theater etc. Tero’s first HCSC was back in 2002, and since 2011 he has participated every year.

The concept of Fall From a Height welled from passion for flying, high places and free falling. The message is also to fulfil your dreams without caring what the others would do. The arrangement is a mixture of breezy trance influence and interesting rhythmic elements.

Lyrics:
Fleeting moments slide into oblivion
I would never make the same mistake
I’ve got to break the glass above to
Reach the heights I’ve dreamt in every waking thought
I need a true sensation to declare
You can join me in the air if you dare
Step off the ledge

Fall from a height
Grant me the power of flight
Once more make earthly burden light
Fall from a height

Fall from a height
Grant me the power of flight
Once more make earthly burden light
Fall from a height

Secret feelings goad into rebellion
I would never hide my greatest pride
I’ve always tried to run away from
Those who trade their freedom for some dignity
I chose a simple passion to pursue
Freely floating in the blue, after you
Step off the ledge

Fall from a height
Grant me the power of flight
Once more make earthly burden light
Fall from a height

On the ground chances pass by
I want to fly
Right through the sky like a kite
Fall from a height
Mission: ascension
To harness that might

Fall from a height
Grant me the power of flight
Once more make earthly burden light
Fall from a height

Falling from a height makes me alive
