This week, my town experienced an extremely rare November blizzard. I got to spend all day on Sunday drinking wine and listening to music. Alright, maybe the drinking all day on a Sunday part wasn’t that rare. Whatever.
Thanks to zoom, we have resolved our technical difficulties and thanks to our dedicated road crews, I can go get more wine. In the meantime, let’s have some music on the topic of snow days. Here are some possible categories.
- Snowed In: You’re trapped in the house all day. What do you do or what would you listen to.
- Song of Ice and…More Ice: Snow, cold, ice in songs.
- It’s Okay To Be White: Artists with “White” in the name, songs that reference the color, or just stuff white people like.
Easiest dedication list ever!
WVR: White Room by Cream
Come out and play. Time for snow angels.
First!
(Remember when that was a thing?)
Snowed Under by Keane — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mmjSIB-eLA
What’s interesting about this song is that it was part of the “Hopes & Fears” sessions. It is also a fantastic tune, well deserving of album release. And yet, it did not make the cut despite the fact that the album took it’s title from the lyrics.
