Winter Song

It's no secret that I have a very deep love for Ingrid Michaelson. She is my favorite singer, I've been to quite a few of her concerts, and I even had my sister's boyfriend learn to play one of her songs on his guitar for our wedding processional. And of course, my husband and I danced to her version of Can't Help Falling in Love for our wedding first dance.

I've also written about my almost-as-deep love for Sara Bareilles. I even got to meet her in person once!

Well, back in December 2008, I got to see Ingrid and Sara in concert together (along with Lenka, Buckcherry, Alanis Morissette, and another one of my favorite bands, O.A.R.). It was the first time I ever heard their duet, Winter Song.

I'd forgotten all about this song until I rediscovered it this year. And I found that it has the most adorable animated video to go along with it. This song has been seriously haunting me for the past few weeks. It is actually rather sad, but I love the feeling of hope at the end of the video.

So I thought I'd share, in case you've never heard this beautiful song before. I bet you'll find yourself listening to it over and over too!




Have you come across (or rediscovered) any songs this year that you just can't get out of your head?
