Ok, not so much an ode as a song, a song that is only peripherally about winter. So whatever...But, it does have what is at this moment my favorite lyric -Your name is the splinter inside me. So descriptive, and yet so simple. This is the kind of thing that people who write, wish they wrote.
I should know who I am by now
I walk the record stand somehow
Thinkin' of winter
Your name is the splinter inside me
While I wait
And I remember the sound
Of your November downtown
And I remember the truth
A warm December with you
But I don't have to make this mistake
And I don't have to stay this way
If only I would wake
The walk has all been cleared by now
Your voice is all I hear somehow
Calling out winter
Your voice is the splinter inside me
While I wait
I could have lost myself
In rough blue waters in your eyes
And I miss you still
"Winter" Josh Radin
The whole winter theme reminds me (I'm not sure why) of my quest to make a CD that has the names of all the months of the year. Strangely enough, although I've been able to think of some fall and winter songs - spring and summer, not so much. Here's all I have so far:
"September" Earth, Wind and Fire
"November Rain" GNR (rock!)
"Long December" Counting Crows
And I could technically use this song and get November and December out of the way all at one time. But that's all I can think of. I think that John Mayer might have a song with some months in it, but maybe not, maybe it's just holidays. Can anyone help me out?

I feel I should be able to help, yet I cannot. The music has left my brain. Except for Will Hoge. I'm currently listening to Washed by the Water and requesting a concert poster on my Amazon wish list. Dork. I know...
Yes John does.
And I freaking love Joshua Radin. He is soooo great!! I've seen him twice in concert in the last six months :) tee hee he. but he is kinda short. . . .
