List of songs to sit on a bed in the dark and watch snowfall to?

[HEyHEY]

You know the time....the streetlight casts a nice light in your room. It's not bedtime, but its cold outside ad cozy where you are. What songs do you want and why?

Moon River - Andy Williams - it has a nice mystic feel to it, peaceful too
Ave Maria- Connie Francis - Same as above and it's very sentimental
Theme from Peter Pan - It gives me a fantasia feeling, like there is something special and wonderous happening.
Let it snow - well xmas music and snow!

You?

1. moonlight mile...Stones

With a head full of snow

[amerikat]

3. lyrics.....

Artist: The Rolling Stones Lyrics
Song: Moonlight Mile Lyrics

When the wind blows and the rain feels cold
With a head full of snow
With a head full of snow
In the window there's a face you know
Don't the night pass slow
Don't the nights pass slow

The sound of strangers sending nothing to my mind
Just another mad mad day on the road
I am just living to be lying by your side
But I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road

Made a rag pile of my shiny clothes
Gonna warm my bones
Gonna warm my bones
I got silence on my radio
Let the air waves flow
Let the air waves flow

Oh I'm sleeping under strange strange skies
Just another mad mad day on the road
My dreams is fading down the railway line
I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I'm hiding sister and I'm dreaming
I'm riding down your moonlight mile
I'm hiding baby and I'm dreaming
I'm riding down your moonlight mile
I'm riding down you moonlight mile

Let it go now, come on up babe
Yeah, let it go now
Yeah, flow now baby
Yeah move on now yeah

Yeah, I'm coming home
'Cause, I'm just about a moonlight mile on down the road
Down the road, down the road
Yeah, yeah, hey hey hey baby, now

[Chovexani]

12. I love Kate Bush

Jig of Life is one of my favorite songs.

I really wish she'd come out with some more stuff. She just kinda went away. :(

[Fovea]

13. Years back when I was badly burned... about 15%

my g/f at the time had to scrub my 2nd and 3rd degree burns daily with betadine.
Two songs got me through it. 'The man with the child in his eyes' by Kate, and 'Dead Skunk' by Laudon Wainwright III.

[amerikat]

15. I know both of those songs

I also know a song that mentions betadine. I'll see if I can find the lyrics....."she'd buy betadine if she only had a dollar" it's a song about losing a woman to her love of horses........how did you make out. ok I hope.

[Fovea]

18. It was the start of a hard decade.

that reached its climax on a day three years ago when I had
a stroke and heartattack on the same day.

Everyday I am alive now is a bonus day. I feel rather ephemeral.

[2Design]

9. Love your new picture

Couldn't think of a song but an image of walking around the Norwich Campus in Jan of 1993 during a snow fall came to mind. I was finally finishing up my BA that I had started in fits and starts since the 196xs.....

And with the polar bear picture, I was reminded of the 14 inches of snow that we got while there. Right near Montpelier Vermont.

[Chovexani]

10. Ooh my kind of question.

"Winter" by Tori Amos. It just feels like that kind of song. Heck, most anything in Tori's catalogue would be appropriate.

"Bachelorette" by Bjork. It's such a sensual, dark, wintery kind of song.

"Tonight, Tonight" by The Smashing Pumpkins. If I'm in the mood for dreaming. "Cupid de Locke", another more obscure song also on Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness, is another whimsical sort of song that I love and is good for just such an occasion.

"Love Song for a Vampire" by Annie Lennox. One of the most beautiful, heart-rending songs I've ever heard.

"Winter Wonderland" by Cocteau Twins. By far my favorite rendition of the holiday standard.

Good lord I am such a freaking goth. :P

[POed_Ex_Repub]

11. "Shake your booty"

I never claimed to be normal....

[lazarus]

14. a whole album of them

A Winter's Solstice, by various artists on the Windham Hill label. Just gorgeous winter, as opposed to Clausmas, music.

[jus_the_facts]

16. NO music at all....the complete silence when snow's fallin' is awesome..

....it happens soooo rarely down here...when we DO get some....there's perfect beauty in the quiet drift of snowfall that is unmatched at any other time....to me anyway...

[amerikat]

17. The freshly fallen silent shout of snow?

Simon and Garfunkle

[BlueHandDuo]

19. Another Auld Lang Syne

by Dan Fogelberg

[Elidor]

20. DJ Ken - I forget the name of the album

Evidently he's a techno artist, but he made this incredible album of winter sounds interspersed with weird pop tunes. One audioscape in particular features a train in a mountain snowfall passing into a tunnel. Hauntingly beautiful. I've only heard it once and have never been able to find it.

[Dover]

21. Winter Lady by Leonard Cohen (or any of the soundtrack from

McCabe and Mrs. Miller, such as the song Suzanne).

OR

River by Joni Mitchell

Oh I wish I had a river, I could skate away on....

OR

The Gentle Side of Coltrane

OR

Vivalde (The Four Seasons)

OR

Carol of the Bells
and
Variations on the Kanon by Pachelbel, by pianist George Winston (his Winter albulm)

[Droopy]

22. No Quarter by Led Zepplin

And a nice, fat doobie. :smoke:

[Chovexani]

23. LOL

Next time it snows I need to hang out with you, dude. ;)

[Droopy]

25. Cool.

You supply the music and I'll supply the herb and we'll have a good ol' time.

[rucky]

24. Novacaine for the Soul - Eels.

...before I sputter out.

[Droopy]

26. That song makes me want to do heroin. n/t

[rucky]

27. i guess that's the difference between 70's (Zep) & 90's music

the drug influences.

[AbbeyRoad]

28. New Slang- the Shins

or

No Surprises- Radiohead

[T Town Jake]

29. Led Zeppelin...

..."Kashmir"...the dreamy talk of deserts always takes my mind off of the cold flakes spiraling down outside my window...

[Droopy]

31. That's a good pick

The Zep has a lot of good songs for that type of situation. They made a lot of spacy stuff that goes well in moments of contemplation.

[dancing kali]

30. Ambient Music (for Airports) by Brian Eno

Phillip Glass - Glassworks

Those are my watching the snow swirling outside the window on a cold winter's night, while drinking mulled wine, listening pleasure choices.

[Dover]

32. Funny.........I almost included both of those in my list

They're great. Steve Tibbits too......Northern Song CD

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

33. Gregorian chants, Enya

And Incredible String Band's "The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter."

[enigmatic]

35. Here's a few..

"Christmastime In The Mountains"- Palace
"Flaming Bed"- Blue Rodeo
"Roll"- Richard Buckner
"Closing Time"- Tom Waits
"Steal The Crunbs"- Uncle Tupelo
