Over at Curious As A Cathy, The Monday Music Moves Me is all about January. You can go by new beginnings, the history of this month, the wolf moon or just tht it is the double F…F%&@Ing Freezing. I do love the glitter of the snow like diamond dust and, when you walk, it feels like one is walking on powdered sugar. I so enjoy it, for now, ask me in March and you will get a different answer…lol. Here are the songs I have chosen..
1. SONG FOR A WINTER’S NIGHT SUNG BY GORDON LIGHTFOOT-1967
I love Gordon Lightfoot who is a Canadian icon and this song, about love, lost love, seems to suit this month since people are already bemoaning what a long winter we are having. Get ready, because we still have February and the dreaded March which has a bag of mixed weather tricks.
2. HAZY SHADE OF WINTER SUNG BY SIMON AND GARFUNKEL-1966
I love Simon and Garfunkel even if they can’t stand one another, they just harmonize so beautifully together. This is another great song that Paul Simon wrote.
3. WHITE WINTER HYMNAL SUNG BY FLEET FOXES-2008
I never heard of this improv folk band from the States until recently ( another blogger posted it on their site and I forgot who…I am so very sorry but thank you for introducing them to me) and I love the way they sound. I will hear more when I get the chance.
Bonus…
JUNE IN JANUARY SUNG BY JULIE LONDON-1956
I do love Julie London who sings like velvet all steamed up and ready to mingle. This was written by Ralph Rainger and Leo Robin. It’s from her album, “Calendar Girls.”
What songs make you think of January?
