    The first song in particular evokes the chilly feeling of winter. The words are in German of course, so it helps to have a lyric sheet with translation.

    Yes, how could I have forgotten about that? Good one. I remember many times taking this in the car on a snowy day.

    60 degrees right now but the weather fiends are saying by Th/Fr we might get hit with heavy snowfall and 60 mph winds. Here it comes!

    For that feeling of coming in after a day in the snow to a good fire and a glass of something warming, I want to hear this:



    Uzva's Tammikuinen Tammela, aka January in Tammela.

    When I lived in Uppsala, Sweden, in 2006, there was a housemate from Finland who told me about their tradition of taking an insanely hot sauna bath in Winter and then rolling on the snow. Not for me, actually.

    As for the whole Winter/Summer music concept, it is meaningless for me since in Brazil it is pretty much warm all over the year...

    Yes, definitely. Winter in my region is pretty dry, while summer tends to be rainy. Temperatures are between 17 and 33 degrees Celsius all over the year though.

    So, nothing to inspire listening to this or that kind of music along the year.

    Everything made by Thule from Norway. Music as dark as the polar night.
    They actually live 400 kms above the polar circle near the Nordkapp.

    Cold and raw the North did blow, bleak in a morning early;
    All the trees were hid with snow, cover'd with winter fearly:
    As I came riding o'er the slough, I met with a Farmer's Daughter;
    Rosie cheeks, and bonny brow, geud faith, made my mouth to water.

    Down I vail'd my bonnet low, meaning to show my breeding,
    She return'd a graceful bow, her visage far exceeding:
    I ask'd her where she went so soon, and long'd to begin a parley:
    She told me to the next market town, a purpose to sell her Barley.

    "In this purse, sweet soul!" said I, "twenty pound lies fairly,
    Seek no farther one to buy, for I'se take all thy Barley:
    Twenty more shall purchase delight, thy person I love so dearly,
    If thou wilt lig by me all night, and gang home in the morning early."

    "If forty pound would buy the Globe, this thing I's not do, Sir;
    Or were my friends as poor as Job, I'd never raise'em so, Sir:
    For shou'd you prove to-night my friend, we'se get a young kid together,
    And you'd be gone e'r nine months end, & where shall I find the father?

    "Pray what would my parents say, if I should be so silly,
    To give my maidenhead away, and lose my true love Billy!
    Oh this would bring me to disgrace, and therefore I say you nay, Sir;
    And if that you would me embrace, first marry, & then you may, Sir!"

    I told her I had wedded been, fourteen years and longer,
    Else I'd chuse her for my Queen, and tye the knot yet stronger.
    She bid me then no farther roame, but manage my wedlock fairly,
    And keep my purse for poor Spouse at home, for some other should have her barley.

    Then as swift as any roe, she rode away and left me;
    After her I could not go, of joy she quite bereft me:
    Thus I my self did disappoint, for she did leave me fairly,
    My words knock'd all things out of joint, I lost both the maid & the barley.
