What Does It Mean?

I really love the song Take Me to Church by Hozier. There's songs that makes me want to dance or take a vacation to a santa monica dance studios I call these "summer songs" like Taylor Swift's Shake It Off. When I heard Take Me to Church by Hozier I knew it wasn't a summer song. It was perfect because I was just complaining about how all music was too light and fluffy for winter and fall. It has a lot of soul to it and is moodier. It obviously means something big. I've listened to interviews from him as well as read lots of opinions on what it means and I get the general idea but I know that there's more and more to discover about it.

It's That Time of Year Again

This used to be my favorite time of year because all of the Christmas movies would start on cable. It was the one time of year where I could watch a made for TV movie. It was also the only programming I really missed when I cut the cable cord. This year Netflix has added some more movies that I haven't seen so I'm looking forward to watching some old favorites and finding some new ones. It still won't be the epic weekend marathons that used to be on Lifetime but I've been saving these all year!

Winter Music

No, I'm not writing about Christmas music. This summer was all about Taylor Swift and Meghan Trainor. In winter though I like darker and moodier music. There should be a change in music through the seasons just the same way there is for the weather and clothes. I don't want Christmas music yet I want grit and soul. Every winter I think about making it myself and picking up a UA Apollo 16 Thunderbolt and figuring out tracking and mixing. Maybe this will be the year. What music do you like in the winter?
