and i had to walk home in it.  and it was so nice, although now that i’m cozy, an hour later, i still can shake the red from my nose.  but i started making a playlist in my head.  these sound like snow.  the way it falls, the way it’s soft at first and then wet and cold, or the way it makes you hold on to something (a warm cup of tea, a warm scarf, a warm person) to keep out the cold it brings.  this is my warm cup of music.

radiohead - how to disappear completely

fever ray - keep the streets empty for me

the national - gospel

charlie parker with miles davis - embraceable you

jeff buckley - corpus christi carol

fleet foxes - white winter hymnal

pretty lights - cold feeling

philip glass - facades

the dear hunter - the tank

bear in heaven - you do you

the xx - stars

andrew bird - carrion suite

volcano choir - and gather

neil young - natural beauty

beirut - la llorona

grizzly bear - colorado

bon iver - blindsided

(enjoy.)
