Winter Songs from Crush Design on Vimeo.

I saw this lovely animated video on Poppytalk, a most delightful and dreamy blog and was instantly smitten. I love this song and have the Winter Songs CD, one of the few Christmas albums I can bear during the festive season. This song makes me feel sweet, nostalgic and melancholy. I feel even more walloped by sticky sweet melancholy now that I have watched the video.

It makes my heart ache a little because it reminds me of one of my closest friends and how she and I are no longer friends. Long sad story but the two little animated figures remind me of her and I (I’m the bespectacled one, having had very similar glasses for most of my life until a few years ago when I finally discovered the wonders of laser eye surgery). Losing that friendship was a sad episode from 2009. The video makes me sad and lonesome but it is sweet and lovely nonetheless. It makes me want to bundle up, have a solitary walk in the cold air and feel a little wistful, tragic and wise.
