Winter playlist: Part 3

Dear The Reader

Once again, sorry it's a little late. I had a long, good day. Taking it easy seems to be growing on me...nah, not really.

Here is Part 1 and Part 2.

Here we go, tracks 7, 8 and 9.

7. Stolen - Dashboard Confessional.

I first heard Dashboard in Winter 2006. I listened to a few of their songs on repeat for months. Stolen is the kind of song I could imagine being sung at a dance by the guy whose life is a musical. For some reason there would be snow outside.

8. Hand Grenade - The Almost

The Almost's "southern rock" style seems to just be an alternative style of country written by a guy who used to play in a hardcore band (for all the Underoath fans out there). Usually I wouldn't associate country with winter, but with the high swells on the slide guitar and the harmonica that sounded almost like an accordion, it could be argued that it gives a cold day a nice soundtrack.

9. Love Is Waiting - Brooke Fraser.

Yes, the opening line is "And the Autumn on the ground", but it has a swirling snow and leaf feel. It may end up on my Autumn playlist, but that's next year.

Interestingly, a lot of my winter songs are paced love songs. I guess a lot of my relationships started or got interesting during winter. Leah and I had our first date on the first day of winter 2009. Maybe I'll tell you all about that sometime...

Educate. Entertain. Inspire.
