Winter Songs

It's been flurrying all morning. I woke up way too early and saw it coming down and, being the six year old that I am, I could not go back to sleep. Though this is not a "Dar Williams worthy snow" (See February), it's getting me excited for future snow. So, to hold you over until the white stuff starts coming down for real, I give you a wintery playlist. To follow: holiday playlist.

February by Dar Williams (Yes, I know it's December.)

December Baby by Ingrid Michaelson (See?!)

Winter by Joshua Radin

Snow (Hey Oh) by Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Hat by Ingrid Michaelson

I Heart Lyrics

And I've made myself the fool

Who's fallen for you

So let me down softly this time and

I won't have to come back crying

I've just made myself look bad and

You're the one who should be feeling bad

It'd be better to forget you

But I don't really want to

It'd be better to forget you

But I don't really want to

From "The Bolder Thing to Do" by Gregory and the Hawk

Vienna Teng - My Medea

Please love her.

*Note: She talks for a bit at the beginning. If you just want to hear the song, skip to about 2:04.
