winter and romance

It's getting darker earlier. Tonight it even snowed. It smells different.
Winter is my absolute most favorite season, and it is finally icing the city with its kiss. I am truly thankful to live in a country where we have such dramatic weather. Every season lends a distinct romantic flavour to my daily walk through the city. To/from the subway, to school, to the shops, and home again...or something like that.
I am so deeply in love...and a total mushball lately.
29 days to go...bear with me.

The Guillemots. Yes. I heard their cd in the summer. One of those times you sit in the driveway just to listen to it a bit more. They're sooooooo adding to the joy of the crispy gloves-and-hat early mornings. Get your hands on a copy of their album to have a listen. Fast, slow, fun and British.
Fab lyrics and lead male singer. Do dee do da...

Blue would still be Blue - Guillemots
It's not raining cats, it's not raining dogs
And pigs are not flying, or turning the cogs
The sun has no hat on, whenever it shines
And I've never seen a cat with nine lives
I'm not in a film, I'm not in a play
I saw no aliens today
I just saw you, and thought of me

And if I had you, all the stars wouldn't fall from the sky, and the moon wouldn't start to cry
There'd be no earthquakes
I'd still make mistakes
If i had you
Oh there'd still be day and night, and I'd still do wrong and right
Ooh
Blue would still be blue
But things would be easier with you

And this is no palace, the place that I live
And I am no king, but I've got things to give
And I waste so much time, thinking of time
And I should be out there, claiming what's mine
Any day I could die, just like I was born
And this bit in the middle is what I'm here for
And I just want to fill it all with joy
