winter.songs.
Rather than assigning music to a particular person, place, or event, I have a more frequent tendency to seasonally associate my favorite songs. Beloved lyrics and harmonies pull together a resounding memento of particular atmospheric quality at their best moments, and despite how 'favorite' a song can be sometimes it just doesn't sound as good when played in the wrong season.
My growing collective of what I'd consider winter songs are tracks that are the most important to me. Winter is by far one of my most favorite times of year and the songs of the season I enjoy the most are ones that manage to color the quietude of stormy grays and snowy shadows outside. Here's just a sampling of songs I've managed to upload to my Vox, some new and some old.
The Repudiated Immortals - Of Montreal
Teardrop (Massive Attack Cover) - José González
20 Years of Snow - Regina Spektor
Wolves in the Garden - The Deadly Syndrome
In Space - Royksopp
On a Neck On a Spit - Grizzly Bear
Elephant Gun - Beirut
What are your winter songs?

I like how you put dots between titles. NO.WASTED.SPACE
Shell of Light - Burial is pretty good. The whole album feels like a dark cave.
Listen, the Snow is Falling - Galaxie 500 is a favorite for holiday mixes.
And I'm please you enjoy my punctuation :)
1) The Cure - The Hanging Garden
2) Ephemera - Capsize
3) Broken Social Scene - Anthems For A 17-Year-Old Girl
4) Arab Strap - Confessions Of A Big Brother
Y'know, on second thought, I think I'm terrible at this game...
