Ancient Quote by Brian Andreas

![“The thing with 50 Words of Snow is that it was literally back-to-back from Director's Cut [also released in 2011]. It was more or less that I got to make two albums in one hit. I was already in this space in my mind to be writing and making an album.” quote by Kate Bush](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/df1/kate-bush-1547_albums_the-thing-with-50-words-of-snow-is-that_3049984.jpg)
