Thanks to all who contributed suggestions for a winter playlist.  [New suggestions always welcome.]  Sadly it seems that most songs buy into winter=cold=bad.  I like "Snow" by Fake? 'cause it has the line "warm like snow," but so far the only song that's really been "yay winter!" has been
"White Song" by Hyde (thanks to [livejournal.com profile] ranaeressea)

Breathe
Crisp and cleansing the winter air
I dream of the world in a peaceful sleep
Snow falling gracefully down
Rejoice in winter's deep charm
I can't wait
I can't wait

Freeze
People gather around the fire
I feel all the warmth that the cold inspires
Frost covered tree tops are bright
Shimmering silver tonight
I can't wait
I can't wait

I hope snow will fall upon us soon
Everywhere
The whole world veiled in white
I'd be reset to face the seasons
Once again

Yes on and on falls the snow
Like diamonds from the sky

[Japanese]

And I hope snow will fall upon us soon
Everywhere
The whole world veiled in white
I'd be reset to face the seasons
Once again

Layna (and Lisa and Jeremy) have a wonderful idea for a playlist: breaking the ten commandments.




I keep getting Lauryn Hill's "Everything to Everything" stuck in my head, specifically the "after winter, must come spring" lyric, and it got me thinking about how there are so few songs celebrating winter. (Which makes winter-loving me sad.)
* Dar's "February" is very woeful -- "February was so long, that it lasted into March . . . I tried to remember, but I said, 'What's a flower?'"
* Tori's "Winter" is more positive -- "Wipe my nose Get my new boots on I get a little warm in my heart When I think of winter" -- but it's not really about winter.

I know people have done seasonal mixes in the past. Anyone have any winter ones? Or just suggestions of winter songs would be fine.

Now to catch up on however many days of my friendspage.

Oh, and no i haven't read the latest [livejournal.com profile] ats_nolimits yet.

[livejournal.com profile] sarah_p is doing [livejournal.com profile] btvs_santa again this year, and [livejournal.com profile] raebird did a Firefly spin-off: [livejournal.com profile] serenity_santa. I really shouldn't do these, but... you do get to specify the stuff you're willing to do, so that makes it a lot less scary. I also like the no-pressure [livejournal.com profile] fandomwishlist [ *whores self out* ] and may get sucked into doing Secret Slasha again. (Yes i am insane. Anyone who was around last semester when i was taking 5 classes and a dozen or so ficathons knows that.)

Also, [livejournal.com profile] phineasjones was seeking "fic that takes place in winter/is wintery" and i imagine she would still appreciate recs.
