5 Winter Themed Songs
Not all winter songs are about the season, holidays, or cold weather. If you skip all of the Christmas classics, what do we have left? Some are about love, loss, and relationships. Some are upbeat while others are moody, sad and downright bluesy.
Besides the one instrumental on this list, it’s the lyrics and vocals particularly that captivate me. They transport me to fictional place where I can create my own narrative in my head. I think all good songs do that. At least that is my theory.
Here are five winter themed songs for your listening enjoyment.
Hamish Anderson – Winter, from the EP titled Hamish Anderson
Fleet Foxes – White Winter Hymnal, from the album Fleet Foxes
Joni Mitchell – River, from the album Blue
George Winston – Rest Your Head, from the album December
Muddy Waters – Cold Weather Blues, from the album Folk Singer
