Another Winter Slowly - an EP for The Long Winter

[blancwene.livejournal.com]

Explanation:
For anomilygrace. I know that Little Town on the Prairie comes next in my gradual backwards series, but the season inspired me.

The Long Winter is bitterly cold, heartrendingly spare, heroically inspiring, and ultimately uplifting. It's a dark night of the soul, sustained by hope, with a belated Christmas feast at the very end. It makes any of our ordinary winters look like child's play, yet still beams with the sheer tenacity of the human spirit.



Another Winter Slowly - an EP for The Long Winter

01. Butterfly Nets - Bishop Allen
calm that wicked wind,
to pick you up and carry you off eastward,
though i did release you, for to seek a warmer sky

02. Cold Morning - Buckaneers
I woke up this morning with a drought in my head
In my cold cold bed
I woke this morning with a fear growing fast
Like a gun to my head

03. Wintering - Laura Gibson
just as sure as the days go short
somehow we're always waiting

04. Box and Fights - Audrey
We should suffer for black winter moments

05. Tomorrow's - Megan Palmer
Tomorrow's gonna make up for yesterday

06. Hands in Pockets - Laura Gibson
Tell me the season is almost over
I can wait

07. Winter's Come and Gone - Gillian Welch
So long now I've been out
In the rain and snow
But winter's come and gone
A little bird told me so

08. The High Reel - Alasdair Fraser & Natalie Haas
(Instrumental - subtitled "The Hug On Staffin Island / The Barrowburn Reel / The High Reel")

Very cool, I enjoyed watching reruns of the tv show growing up and now have the strong urge to finally get to reading the books. Nice song choices and cover art, snagging thanks.

Thank you so much for making a mix for one of my favorite books! This is awesome; I've read the books since I was a child, at least once a year, and I still love it.
