The air may be chilly by November, but all hope of summer is truly lost by the time December rolls around. If anticipating the holidays isn't enough to sustain you, it’s time to start appreciating winter’s true gift: the cold is a great excuse for spending more time snuggled up in your warm bed with your sweetie. Your soundtrack for spooning can be seasonally appropriate but also heart-warming. Depending on your decade of choice, here are some wintery tunes to stave off the cold.
Baby, It’s Cold Outside
Bing Crosby and Doris Day’s playful version of this wintertime classic is a particularly persuasive way to district your honey from leaving the toasty bed.
I’ve Got My Love to Keep Me Warm
Another classic, Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, and Dean Martin have all marveled about using love to weather a storm.
Time of the Season by The Zombies
The Zombies don’t actually specify what the season is, so why not winter? Sounds like a good time for loving.
Wintertime Love by The Doors
In a love song you can waltz to, a surprisingly tender Jim Morrison croons, “winter’s so cold this year, and you are warm”- how sweetly understated.
Warm Love by Van Morrison
While not necessarily set in the winter, this melodic ditty warms your heart with its sweet lyrics and cheerful wind section.
