039; i forgot my mittens: a quiet christmas alone mix
I Forgot My Mittens
a mix for when those quiet moments when you're all on your own with your cup of hot chocolate. a mix for when you want to avoid relatives and avoid the present. a mix for when you're missing things gone past.
01. December…Basia Bulat
and it wont be long 'til winter's gone again
02. Don’t Panic…Coldplay
there's nothing here to run from/and there everybody here's got somebody to lean on
03. The Atheist Christmas Carol…Vienna Teng
it's the season of cold making warmth a divine intervention/you are safe here you know now
04. Winter…Tori Amos
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
05. On The Coldest Winter Night…Kamelot
you found me here today/on the coldest winter night/this moment is our right
06. Diamonds And Rust…Blackmore’s NIght
now I see you standing/with brown leaves falling around/and snow in your hair/now you're smiling out the window/of that crummy hotel/over Washington Square
07. The Other Side Of Time…Mary Fahl
snow falls, silent and slow/on the unforgiving land/you stand clutching your coat/red twig dogwood in your hand
08. My December…Linkin Park
this is my December/these are my snow covered trees/this is me pretending/this is all I need
09. Shh…Frou Frou
don't make a sound/shh and listen
10. The Escapist…Coldplay
and in the end/we lie awake/and we dream/we’re making our escape
11. Fox In The Snow…Belle & Sebastian
girl in the snow, where do you go/to find someone who will do?/to tell someone all the truth before it kills you/they listen to your crazy laugh
12. It Came Upon A Midnight Clear…Sixpence None The Lesser
it came upon the midnight clear/that glorious song of old/from angels bending near the earth/to touch their harps of gold
13. This Christmastime…Mascott & Dave Derby
daddy, I'm comin' home/momma, I'm comin' home this christmastime
14. Somedays…Regina Spektor
they come and leave you behind someone else's face/and it's harsher than yours/and colder than yours

This mix was created for mixingmusic. My prompt was: Music for those quiet moments when you're all on your own with your cup of hot chocolate (read as: getting away from annoying relatives). I took this angle of just wanting to be curled up by the fire, listening to quiet music, and thinking on things that have happened in life.
