Winter (Or What We Mistake for December)

I’ll be honest with you, this collection of songs was compiled with nothing but mixed emotions and by that I mean I wasn’t able to put my finger on any real understanding of what Winter should feel like. Happy or sad? The undertones of what is otherwise pleasing to look at in nature often strikes differently in the depths of the mind where everything tends to get lost. Although I guess that’s just it for me, using music as an instrument to bridge these contradictions and find a sense of acceptance–which is the only point I find myself able to move forward (into the new year, of course). Maybe unlike the rest, Winter is the only time we’re given the option to choose… and well, I chose for it to be beautiful. Oh, but now you’ve read too far into it. Here’s to stouthearted growth.
