Blue? Really!?!? This is just another example of East Coast Bais that permeates our national discourse. If you looked out my windows today it has been a mix or grey & white…it has been snowing the last 12 or so hours around here and everyone is in a panic. Good grief! Our office was a skeleton crew today and a lot of talk about being closed. My rule is, if the courts are open then I’ll be at work….unless of course, I am not 😉
The problem with most music about snow is that they’re holiday tunes and the holidays are over…good riddance…or they’re about drugs, so…
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome…Black Sabbath.
My eyes are blind but I can see
The snowflakes glisten on the tree
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel there’s no place freezing me
I work remotely with a bunch of folks who live in Alaska and Minnesota. I’ve learned to never complain about the cold. Apparently it was -40 in Fairbanks a few days ago. They always win the bad weather discussion on Slack.
We all knew eventually someone would cop out and do the Eiffel 65 song. Might as well be me, kinda.
Not my favorite from these guys (that goes to either “Baby One More Time” or Salt N Pepa’s “Push It”), but it gets a chuckle.
As for non-cop out songs, I present the duo of Deepest Roots: The Belief that All is Lost and Darkest Blues: Relief that Nothing Can be Done, from Woods of Ypres’ 3rd album. Because Canadian black metal is excellent.
That’s why I quit listening to the music stations on the radio a few years ago & switched over to MPR/NPR.
I just couldn’t take the “same rotation of songs, on a 2.05 hour loop” and the same ‘ol bro-ey songs sung by different dudes, but with the same, trite, template… alllllll day, every day.
Ffs, when I heard the *exact* same songs every day for WEEKS, at (within one mile) the *exact same place* in my commute, I simply stopped listening.
…blue you say?
songs are like tattoos/I’ve been to sea before
Bob Dylan – It’s All over Now, Baby Blue
Monday, Monday, so good to me
Mary’s Danish live, finishing it off with Blue Stockings

My favorite Blue.
Shoutout to a local band I really like:
Song Sung Blue – Altered Images
I was going to post Pinky Blue! I didn’t think anyone would remember Altered Images, lol. Back to the drawing board.

The Pixies – Blue Eyed Hexe
The voice from this child…what happened to all the great women country music singers from the 90s? Now it’s all bro-country on the radio…

…I wouldn’t normally besmirch the good name of the DUAN with this sort of thing, but…are you talking about the dreaded 4-chord song?
I broke down and got the paid version of Spotify and it improved my life so much…
Me too.
Money well spent.
Can’t mention Blue without this gem. Actually this song is Blue in Green off the album – Kind of Blue.
Nobody posted this gem from my favorite Satriani album? I thought at least Lemmy!
Given that Liz has declared war on Bernie and has started a smear campaign, we should all feel blue.
