We have met your winter music needs with this curated playlist. The songs here are not ones you will hear replayed on the radio. These songs will bring something fresh to your ears and fit the wintry mood.

1. “Dear Winter” – AJR: Composing a song to your future kid is bold. So is naming them after the 3-month mini ice age that is winter. 

2. “Hollow Tree” – Ok Moon: Even though winter is a physically hollow season, Ok Moon reminds us that one’s disposition doesn’t diminish in the cold.

3. “Wicker” – The Fourth Son: The Fourth Son paints a nice winter picture with their lyrics about “attic boxes” and “thawing by the radio.”

Rounding out the playlist are: 4. “Black Out Days” – Phantogram; 5. “Storms” – Mr. Carter Davis; 6. “Keep in the Dark” – Temples; 7. “Feels Like the End” – Mikky Ekko.

Editor’s Note: the “Winter Jams” playlist can be found on Spotify under the “Green and Gray Jams” profile.
