End of the World - Ingrid Michaelson

I haven't posted much about Ingrid yet, so I felt I should feature an Ingrid song as song of the day. Because it's the last day of the year, I felt this song felt fitting, though I have no idea why.

I've always found the meaning behind this song very amusing. Ingrid said once that this song came into her mind after watching a slew of zombie, end of the world movies. She added that hint of romance, and there you go, the last track off Human Again.

I just think it's a really sweet, emotional song and a great way to round off an amazing year. It's a really fitting song to end an album, it feels like you're reading the last few pages of an amazing novel and finishing the last page in content.

Have a happy new year and I hope you all have an amazing 2013!

Song of the Day

Winter Song - Sara Bareilles & Ingrid Michaelson

After yesterday, I wanted to get back into the Christmas theme since 2 SLEEPS TO GO!!!! *SQUEEEEEEEEEE*

I love this song. Two of my favourite artists in the same song, who could pass up on that? But seriously, this song is amazing in it's own right.

This is the first true Christmas love song I've posted about (yes, I know Love is Christmas is about love too, but I don't really count it because it's a different kind of love, not relationship love).

It's a very sad and beautiful. It's full of love and winter analogies on whether things can grow in the cold of winter, or whether they can still thrive. 

Winter Song was written for the Hotel Cafe christmas album, Winter Songs. Sara and Ingrid have performed it live on Jay Leno and at during the 2010 US National Christmas Tree Lighting. The sang has also been featured on Scrubs, Grey's Anatomy and Brothers and Sisters.

Can't believe Christmas has come so fast... wowee has this year passed quickly!
