The Birthday Edition : Winter Songs

Υπάρχει κανείς που ξεκινά ένα blog και βαθιά μέσα του πιστεύει ότι θα κρατήσει για έναν ολόκληρο χρόνο? Εγώ πάντως δεν είμαι μέσα σ'αυτούς, και το winter academy συνεχίζεται ακόμη λόγω διαφόρων γεγονότων και συμπτώσεων που ποτέ δεν περίμενα ότι θα συμβούν.. και κυρίως γιατί α.κ.ό.μ.η. κανείς γνωστός μου δεν το έχει ανακαλύψει..

Όσο λοιπόν κι αν με εκφράζει απόλυτα εκείνος ο καταπληκτικός στίχος των magnetic fields [i'll never stay to say 'happy anniversary'], κι όσο κι αν μισώ τα γενέθλια [τουλάστιχον τα δικά μου], ας πούμε λοιπόν πως αυτό είναι ένα εορταστικό post: είκοσι [!] τραγούδια από εκλεκτά αντίστοιχα μέλη της Χειμερινής Ακαδημίας..

1. Animal Collective - Winter's Love

I love this light in winter time,
The frost cakes in the carpet
In winter time we'll have our ways
Tombstones the mean belong in
No falls snowfalls that ruin my day

2. Brighter - Summer becomes winter


sarah records, the nineties, αυτά..

3. Broadcast - Winter Now

Snow lies all around
There's no sense of doubt
You are the only one
To keep me sane when all is wrong

Oh my heart
Waits in winter now

4. Delays - Winters Memory Of Summer


μια από τις ωραιότερες φωνές των τελευταίων χρόνων..

5. Dolorean - We Winter Wrens


Αν είστε στι διπλανό δωμάτιο μπορεί και να νομίσετε ότι πρόκειται για ένα από τα υπέροχα slow τραγούδια των REM από τα early nineties..

6. Dot Allison - In winter still

When all is said and done
So weak and overcome
So tired of running still
The winter..

7. Iron And Wine - Faded From The Winter

daddy's ghost behind you
sleeping dog beside you
you're a poem of mystery
you're the prayer inside me
spoken words like moonlight
you're the voice that i like
needlework & seedlings
in the way you're walking
to me from the timbers
faded from the winter

8. Jens Lekman - The Cold Swedish Winter

When people think of Sweden
I think they have the wrong idea
Like Cliff Richards who thought it was just
Porn and gonorrhea
And Lou Reed said in the film
Blue in the face
That compared to New York City
Sweden was a scary place
They seem to have a point
After meeting with this girl
Maybe not Cliff Richards
But Lou has surely met her

9. Josh Rouse - Winter In The Hamptons

Here we go
Singin' our songs with our soul
Winter has gone
Where do we belong
We have stayed too long

10. Olvis - Wintertime


Σε μια μέτρια χρονιά για την Ισλανδία, ξεχώρισε με άνεση..

11. Perry Blake - The Fox In The Winter

We'll weep for elvis
As we drive through the hills
The fox in winter
Is sleeping still

12. Radical Face - Winter is Coming


φετινό και πολύ πολύ καλό..

13. Saint Etienne - Teenage Winter


τη χάσαμε και φέτος την ευκαιρία..

14. Scott Walker - Winter Night

You're like a winter night
Your thoughts are frozen
You kiss your lovers
In the snow

Too many icy tears
Glisten for someone

You watch the leaves
As they shiver your loneliness
Your eyes are lanterns
Growing dim

I hum inside
Like the meadows in summer

But I'll never light them up
Again

15. Springfactory - Αs Winter Gives Way To Spring


ένα καταπληκτικό pop τραγούδι

16. Sufjan Stevens - Jupiter Winter

μας έλειψες φέτος..

17. The 6ths - Winter In July

[εσύ κι αν μας έλειψες!!]

All alone in Melbourne,
all I do is cry.
All as I see is rain falling.
It's winter in July.
In another city,
'neath another sky,
are you feeling lonely?
It's winter in July.

Would you have fallen in love
if we'd stayed another day?
We could have fallen in love,
but you let me fly away.

i saw something in your eyes
that I'll never find again,
and now there's something in mine,
so I'll walk out in the rain.

18. The Cuts - Boots In The Winter

από το oakland της california..

19. The Pipettes - A Winters Sky

She was cold and all alone
Hadn't been there long
And didn't know what to say
So she sat in the corner of the room
She figured if she didn't move
Noone would notice her

Underneath a winter's sky
Her eyes were bright
Tonight would be her night

20. Tori Amos - Winter

Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose, get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove

I run off where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice, you must learn to stand up
For yourself, 'cause I can't always be around

He says, when you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?

άντε, και του χρόνου [λέμε τώρα..]
