Nessuno Ferro E Vino, Natale Giusto

I can't explain how much I wanted to write about Iron & Wine again today. I won't, but I desperately want to. Oh well.

"Save This Dance" from The Nutcracker Prince
Directions:
1) Let the whole video load
2) Skip to 2:40
3) End at 3:50

This clip you don't really have to watch. It's just something I have enjoyed many years, this petite song. This is simply a black and white photograph of me when I was little, and I would dance like that.


"Grandfather's Dance" from the Nutcracker
Directions:
1) Let the clip load
2) Skip to 4:50
3) Play through the end
This snippet is my favorite part of The Nutcracker. It sounds so royal and beautiful. This is the kind of song that makes me wish I lived in a different time, so that I could dance to this with a slow, tidy rhythm. The beat is very much like a waltz, sounding poetic in the tune. Okay, enough directions.


I haven't mentioned the Weepies in a while. One of my favorite Christmas songs in the whole world. It's a beautiful, little ditty. This clip you should watch. It's "All That I Want". The melody paints those spots of pastels on the bright lights of an oil painting displaying the Christmas-coated harbor. Lovely, lovely song.


Title: "No Iron And Wine, Just Christmas" in Italian
In My Head: "Everybody" by Ingrid Michaelson
