Snow music, what's yours?

[supernova]

I'm really groovin' to Steely Dan's Aja right now. Amazing the way the lazy, jazzy rythmns fit with the snow softly falling (er, did earlier. It's stopped falling now).

What's your favorite snowed-in music?

[myrna minx]

1. The Edward Scissorhands soundtrack.

It has such an enchanting feel. I feel as if I am in a snowglobe whenever I listen to that soundtrack.

[supernova]

5. Excellent choice!

I hadn't thought of that. Danny Elfman rules! Think I'll cue that up next. :thumbsup:

Might as well watch ES tonight while I am at it. :D

[myrna minx]

12. Make sure you have a glass of Zinfandel or Chambord

to sip. It makes the experience much better. :-)

[supernova]

16. Zinfandel I have

Chambord? Well touch you! :toast:

[GOPisEvil]

2. I dunno. I've never been snowed in.

:shrug:

Well, there was January of 1985, but I really don't remember what I was listening to. :D

[supernova]

6. Oh what a night

January '85, she was everything I dreamed she'd be. Sweet surrender what a night..."

LOL!

Technically we can get out, the roads aren't THAT bad, but I have big-ass top heavy van so... I don't want to press my luck.

3. The Skater's Waltz

Best all time snow music - Nutcracker Ballet in it's entirety is next.

[supernova]

10. I love to waltz!

It's very fun. I like dancing in general. I can definitely cue up some Straussmusik.

4. Mary Chapin Carpenter

Shotgun down the avalanche.

[supernova]

9. Never heard of it

but I like Mary Chapin Carpenter. I'll check it out.

[necso]

11. Playing it right now.....

But we have no snow. Last year my road was snowed in for like a month --- no traffic at all (we don't get much anyway) --- a hassle but kind of nice too.

[SiouxJ]

14. That's Shawn Colvin

one of my all time favorite songs.

[necso]

20. I think that you are right.

After playing songs by each, I think that you are right.... I'll relabel it. It's a live cut, but the voice (and "sound") is a lot closer to "Sonny came Home" than "My Dear Old Friend"

Sorry for the confusuion... Hey, I'm no expert, I just know what I like.

[KissMyAsscroft]

7. Boards of Canada...

Great ambient music

8. The Sting CD with "Little Wing," "Fragile," "Englishman In NY"

It takes me back to my first year out of college, freezing in Dayton Ohio. I felt really adult having a record with jazz artists playing on it. Just hearing the songs now makes me shiver.

[SiouxJ]

13. That's funny cuz that's my spring music

takes me back to college too. I remember sitting out back of my condo, drinking a beer or two, catching some rays and listening to that album, thinking - it doesn't get any better than this. Oh and it's called "Nothing like the Sun" btw - I thought that sort of fit the situation so that's why I put it on. Funny how music can affect people in totally opposite ways huh? :-)

:hi:

[supernova]

15. ((((SiouxJ))))

Wasssup, sista???!! :hi: Long time no see.

I was just sitting here trying to thing of the name of that thing. "Nothing Like the Sun" "Englishman in NY" is a great song.

[SiouxJ]

17. Hey you!

I have such a vivid memory of sitting out there at my condo which overlooked a golf course - getting a nice buzz and listening to song after song and thinking how the music fit the moment so perfectly. I still put it on when spring comes around.

[FunBobbyMucha]

19. Yeah, it is.

That CD is so ingrained in my winter state of mind that I never even take it out of its case the rest of the year. I think I purchased it in the fall, maybe that's the reason for my response. And it was a cold-as-hell winter that year.

There's also a Randy Travis song, "No Place Like Home" that is a definite winter song for me. I remember listening to it driving home from a night shift, having to winch snow-covered fallen branches off the road of my neighborhood to get home.

[SiouxJ]

18. Hmmm - "River" by Joni Mitchell

I mean I know it has the line "it don't snow here, stays pretty green" but it always reminds me of winter in Souther California, where I grew up. I guess I don't really have any snow music yet. I moved to a place where it snows a few years ago so I'll have to get with the program :-). Good question btw :-) .

24. SUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:hug::loveya::*:hi:

[ulysses]

21. Hildegard of Bingen.

:)

[HereSince1628]

22. Almost any hammer dulcimer (sp) music. Trapizoid is most of mine

[jpgray]

23. The Vince Guaraldi trio's tunes to "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

Great stuff. :)

[Zomby Woof]

25. Highway 61 Revisited

Or "The Basement Tapes", both Dylan. (The latter with The Band on many tracks). Hard to pin down WHY, they just fit.

Vivaldi's "Winter", acoustic Neil Young, and Nanci Griffith also sound good on snowy days.

[htuttle]

26. Tangerine Dream

For snow, one of the more repetitious pieces like Tangram or Stratosfear works pretty well.
