French for Rabbits started off as a duo, featuring Brooke Singer and John Fitzgerald, who were also in a relationship. The band has now expanded to a 5-piece and before the release of the album 'The Weight of Melted Snow' the relationship between Brooke and John had ended. They have decided to continue playing together in the band and had no problem finishing the album after the breakup.
Brooke has stated that a couple of the songs were written after the breakup and "The Weight of Melted Snow" was one of them.
The song itself is so beautiful and full of sadness. A candidate for the Bitter FM song of the year.
This live in the RNZ studio recording encapsulates all the emotion and sadness from Brooke and with John on guitar looking unmoved and not showing any emotion..... while possibly feeling some.
It makes the song even more powerful in so many ways.
