Winter Playlist

Aplaylist of songs to whet the beauty and solitude of the winter season. Winter embodies such a rare starkness. The days are shorter. The air is crisper. The light is somehow different. The earth's palette darkens. Sparse boughs creak over the soft glow of our homes. These quiet notes flit and arc like a canopy of starlight. Harnessing us into the season.

This is a really great playlist. Haunting, daunting, playing with the darkness of the season. Very well put together.

Thank you for this! It was the soundtrack for our holiday celebrations all last week. It will continue to be for many years to come, too.
