Two of Australia’s most prolific songwriters come together to collaborate for High Country Snows. High Country Snows’ is a love story about a horsewoman and how her wild but beautiful nature could not be tamed, much like the wild horses, the brumbies. The song also tells another story, that of the slow demise of the legendary mustering in Australia’s Victorian high country by the many generations of outstanding stockman and their families who drove their cattle high into the mountains to feed their stock, as documented by the award winning films The Man from Snowy River 1 and 2. Bill Chambers and Kevin Sullivan sat down before a show in 2020 and co-wrote this song which included inspiration from the real life High Country Horseman. Chambers and Sullivan collaborated on the lyrics and melody until “High Country Snows” came to life. The duet brings together the nomadic rawness of Chambers and the rich organic vocals of Sullivan. Sullivan’s passion for both research and the high country horseman, led him to legendary horseman, Charlie Lovick whose families over the generations have lived, worked and continue to call the Victorian High Country home. Charlie Lovick was the Master of Horse and featured as one of the mountain horseman in The Man from Snowy River movies. Sullivan contacted Charlie Lovick who generously offered his horses and an amazing location in the Victorian High Country to shoot the Music video for High Country Snows. A very special feature whilst working with Charlie Lovick during filming occurred when the team were searching for a dark haired girl who was a confident horse rider. Charlie Lovick's daughter Kellie, already an accomplished rider herself, agreed to play the role of the love interest in the music video. The video was shot in the High Country just prior to the recent tragic Victorian fires, capturing the natural beauty of our Australian landscape by talented videographer Jay Seeney. * * * * * * * * * * * * * LYRICS Her hair was jet black, she wild as a brumby As we rode through the mountains of regret Across the divide, down to Craig’s hut, It’s a picture, I’ll never forget CHORUS In my mind I go back, where she took my breath away, Like the air, where the Alpine River flows And the coals in the campfire, couldn’t warm her heart, It was cold as the High Country Snows She was born in the winter, underneath the milky way, With a voice like the rare whistler bird And the young men they were stallions Tried to tame and win her hand But she lead them like a mare leads the herd. CHORUS I met her in the summer, when the lush high plains were green, Our family proudly drove the cattle here, We fell in love so quickly, as fast as sun melts snow, Her beauty like, the marigold appeared. CHORUS Drovin' in the high country's gone, And Charlie Lovick's stock have all moved on My black haired girl was just too wild, She’s still running free, If only Banjo wrote some words for me… Her hair was jet black, she wild as a brumby As we rode through the mountains of regret Across the divide, down to Craig’s hut, It’s a picture, I’ll never forget. CHORUS It was cold as the High Country Snows It was cold as the High Country Snows
