Your favorite songs about snow, ice, or winter

“Good King Wenceslas”

It’s more of a metaphor than literal, but Snowman by The Neilds

Winter Song - Lindisfarne


I’m gonna be warm this winter - Connie Francis

Pop Looks Bach - Sam Fonteyn . This is very well known as the theme tune for the BBC sports show called Ski Sunday - it was originally written for the 1976 winter Olympics

Skating Away on the Thin Ice of the New Day - Jethro Tull

Not really about skating or ice, but uses those words…

The Rodeo Song - Gary Lee and the Showdown

Four Strong Winds - Ian Tyson (Ian & Sylvia)

Winter Moon by Art Pepper.

Cold, Rain and Snow by the Grateful Dead

(EDIT: Not necessarily that particular live performance, though I like it quite a bit.)

Gordon Lightfoot, “Song for a Winter’s Night”

[/QUOTE]

Excellent choice, one of his best.

How about the great-granddaddy of them all? The breakout hit of 1723:

Laura Nyro, “December’s Boudoir”

Frank Zappa, “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow”

Mellow out. Or should I say mallow out. Bing and Ella say it’s a Marshmallow World.

“I’ve Got My Love To Keep Me Warm” - After sampling numerous versions, I’ve settled on Bette Midler as the definitive choice.

“Boat Drinks” - Jimmy Buffett
:smiley:

I guess, Let It Snow?

Under the Ice - The Nazz

The first of December was covered in snow. James Taylor’s Sweet Baby James.

Beat you to it. Post #20. :smiley:

“The Coldest Night of the Year” by Vashti Bunyon


Or…

“Snow” by Harry Nilsson (written by Randy Newman)

Which reminds me of… Trapped Under Ice by Metallica.

Aztec Camera - Walk Out to Winter. Has a really intriguing chord progression and pushes that 80s New Wave chorus-y rhythm guitar to redline speed. Supposedly this song motivated Johnny Marr of the Smiths to write “This Charming Man” because they needed an upbeat major-key song to compete with this one. (The two bands were on the same record label.)

How am I the first one to mention this, after more than 50 posts?

Winter, from The Four Seasons, by Vivaldi.
