->''"From a world that's never ending,\\
From a sky beyond the skies,\\
A child is born\\
And love is made alive.\\
Like a flaw that seeks perfection,\\
With a will that will survive,\\
A child is born\\
And love is made alive."''
-->--"Made Alive"

''Snow'' is a 2002 RockOpera by the band Music/SpocksBeard. It tells the story of an psychic albino boy, nicknamed Snow, who experiences a calling to leave his rural home for New York City. There he ends up amassing a messianic following.

A (much) longer description of the story can be found on [[http://spocksbeard.com/discography/snow.html the official website for the album]].

Not to be confused with the Canadian reggae artist whose real name is Darrin O'Brien, or the Japanese pop singer "[=SNoW=]", who is also known by the name "Yukie"

!!The Devil's got my trope:
* AngryMobSong: "Devil's Got My Throat"
* TheBigRottenApple: New York is not depicted as a very nice city when he arrives.
* BSODSong: "Freak Boy - Part 2", where he embraces his downfall after Carie refuses him.
* MeaningfulEcho: "Behold the boy - The stranger, the working man's son" pops up as the first line in "Stranger In A Strange Land" and the first line (albeit without the word 'boy') in "Reflection".
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Snow's real name is John. This is only mentioned once more in the album, in "Reflection", where his parents wish he would change his name.
* SingleTargetSexuality: "Carie" and "Looking For Answers" deal with Snow's obsession with Carie.
