As the winter months come to a close, especially here in Florida, there were a few songs that I realized were paramount to my winter vibe. With only two weeks of cold down south, I try to get into the cozy feelings of a northern winter in every way that I can. What is a better way to do that when you have your blanket, hot cocoa, and book? MUSIC of course. Here's what I was listening to this winter:
1. Northern Wind
I am a HUGE City and Colour fan. Dallas Green is a melodic acoustic and folk singer. He is also known for his role as lead singer in Alexisonfire. Although I love mostly all of his songs, Northern Wind puts me right in that mood, where I want to be laying in bed all cozy with my love!
2. Re: Stacks
Bon Iver, pronounced Bon Evare, is an indie folk band founded by the lead singer Justin Vernon. I'm going to be honest, a lot of times I have to look up the lyrics. He is kind of hard to understand, but there is just something about his music that makes me feel warm and at home. His moniker, Bon Iver, actually translates to "good winter," so it only makes sense that this song would be on my winter playlist ;)
3. Monsoon
This is a live a version and the original is good, but this one is GOOOOOD . It's something about the live instruments and the ethereal sounds of the horn make this a dreamy little tune. This is a sit by the fire song for sure!
4. Watching From A Rooftop
I am sucker for a song that uses a lot of real instruments and this song has a lot of that. This song casts a spell whenever I hear it.
5. Exchange
Bryson Tiller's debut album was a complete banger and I think that this song makes me get into the winter feels because it was cold when I saw him in concert LOL! This song just makes you want to take things slow and relax. Definitely my go to when I want to digress in a warm bath.
I could list a thousand more, but we can start here ;) What are some of your favorite songs to listen to during the chilly weather?
