20.12.2025 – Winter music #3: Swallow The Sun

Track of the Day

Swallow The Sun – Fragile
Honorable mentions: Swallow The Sun – Through Her Silvery Body, Swallow The Sun – Ghost of Laura Palmer, Swallof The Sun – Out Of The Gloomy Light, Swallow The Sun – The Morning Never Came

I couldn't decide what to pick today and I realized how few opportunities I have left for winter music. (winter ends on the last day of the year after all)
I ended up picking my favourite track from Swallow the Sun. Their albums "Ghosts of Loss" and "The Morning Never Came" are both in the top 100 albums chart that I mentioned three days ago.
I really couldn't decide on a track and the more I listened the more unsure I became. I ended up just sticking with "Fragile", since it was my first pick and thinking any more about this would only make me more unsure.
"Fragile", "Through Her Silvery Body" and "Ghost of Laura Palmer" are my favourite songs from STS, but "Out Of The Gloomy Light" and especially "The Morning Never Came" are arguably more "winter music".
But even though "The Morning Never Came" is more winter music, "Out Of The Gloomy Light" is just the better song. You see now why you should never put me in charge of making decisions quickly?
Oh well, just listen to them all.

There's still so much winter music I could post.
Truth be told I'm not really in a winter mood right now, so I'm tempted to just post a regular Track of the Day on the days that I post anything.
I'm gonna spend the day tomorrow listening to a bunch of winter music while talking a walk. That might just get me in the right state of mind.

I switched to Youtube embeds for the songs because I think it's just way more convenient this way and also technically more private since I made it so it only loads after clicking a button.
