Three of my favs..cool idea for a blog post!

I was driving home the other day and had my iPod playing on shuffle, as I like to mix things up, and started to hear these songs that reminded me of the winters I spent in Japan. So I pulled out my Field Notes notebook and began to make a list of these reminiscent songs. Obviously it’s a list of my favorite songs, but what I’d love to see is feedback from others and what their playlist might look like.
Thanks.
Good morning. Came here via Chuck’s blog this morning and I really liked your selection of music here. Thanks for the tip!
I love, love, love, your choices here! Yay for winter! (and winter playlists of course!)
Beautiful wintry images.
Good list, but my favorite is selfless, cold and composed – Ben Folds – Whatever and ever amen
Excellent list. I too recently set out to create a playlist to help me through the cold months that so often remind me of love lost and dreams gone missing. Here’s what I came up with.
Winter Birds – Ray LaMontagne
Stumblin’ Home Winter Blues – Hotel Lights
Faded From The Winter – Iron & Wine
Rain On Every Weekend – Alaska In Winter
From Cold To Colder – Red Animal War
Winter – Joshua Radin
Snowbirds And Townies – Further Seems Forever
Photography – The Starting Line
A Long December – Counting Crows
Winter ‘05 – Ra Ra Riot
Cold Of November – James Germain
Angel In The Snow – Elliott Smith
Blindsided – Bon Iver
I admittedly took a more direct approach by simply typing the word “winter” into my library and went from there. I was pleasantly surprised at the results.
Best wishes
Nick
@anon – that’s a great song too
@Nick – wow! Love your playlist. Some of those songs I’m unfamiliar with so I’ll have to check them out. Thanks for taking the time to post your list up here. That was my goal from the beginning.
