It's cold outside in southern California. Surfing yesterday morning was exceptionally cold. I woke up at 2am and headed outside to see how cold it was and the lightweight sweatshirt I was wearing was just not cutting it. It's officially cold outside and I'm ecstatic. We've had a few cool nights already, but this feels like the first one.
This is the morning that you're lucky to wake up next to someone and share their warmth under heavy blankets. You try once to get up and maybe make it to the toilet to expel before running back to bed, shivering because your blood is stagnant from laying at rest all night. If you're lucky you don't have much to do and can stay hidden for a few more hours safe in bed under the covers.
I think my musical tastes have been changing with the seasons, going from heavily electronic and up beat music to more organic and slower music. I built a new smart playlist in iTunes that compiled all the songs with "winter" or "cold" in the title. Here's a short list of movies of the best ones I could find on youtube and another list of the best ones which I couldn't.
Here's a selection of my favorite winter songs with links to youtube videos:
winter song - the caesars
winter long - neil young
winter song (cover) - the pixies
winter fling - ima robot
winter's heir - sea wolf
winter - the rolling stones
in the cold cold night - the white stripes
cold december - matt costa
the cold part - modest mouse
winter for a year - arcade fire
Please comment and contribute any good winter songs you know of.
