Track:A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like A Kiss)
Today, at Leeds, around 8:30 in the morning, snowflakes started falling. Luckily, I was awake to witness it. Now you may wonder what the big deal is. It's a big deal to me for two reasons. One is that I haven't seen any snow in over 2 years now. Secondly, despite this being a cold-related phenomenon, it always manages to warm up my heart. So I was just sitting on my bed, wrapped in my comforter, looking out the window at the snowflakes dancing their way to the ground. I felt like I was in a snow globe, only the snow kept falling outside of it.
I knew I had to listen to this Glasvegas song. It's just ideal, and it made the hairs in the back of my head stand up, because it describes what I feel in a wonderful way.
Happy December, MOGgers. May this month be everything you imagined it to be, and more.

Snow is so heavenly, I can't wait to get up for some night skiiing at Timberling Lodge on Mt. Hood, then, like you, it will be a winter wonderland experience.. thanks for the perfect description of your winter there.. sweet :0)
Great song. Liked it so much I went and bought it. Thanks for the listen.
I was at a family wedding on Sat and it was incredibly cold. So cold, the tears of joy froze solid on our faces and had to be broken off with chisels. Yet I had to admit the church grounds looked lovely, covered as they were in a blanket of white frost. Aaah, winter.
Magical, just had a listen, didnt' get a chance b4.. will have that on my playlist this holiday, thanks!
INdy x
Happy Holidays :)
I caught this a few weeks ago, remembered just know.. hopefully they will post a full length video?
Indy, sounds like you're all ready for winter! You're welcome...although after the snow, we got sun, then more snow, then just a grey sky, and now we're somewhere in the middle...you can call British weather many things, but 'boring' isn't one of them :)
Magical is exactly what I think the song is...happy holidays to you, too!
Fluxy, that's great, yay! The whole EP is lovely and depressingly Christmasy...sigh.
Hey, I read about the frozen tears - chisels incident in the Guardian...that was you?! Oh man, I'm going to keep the article and make you sing it for me ;)
I'm hoping to see a blanket of white frost here, too. And snow. Serious, solid, freeze your arse off snow!
Indy, that's interesting, 'cause they cover Silent Night in this EP hehe!
At least the singer isn't wearing his wayfarers inside the church...
Sounds like you're living in a dream. Enjoy it now cause after you shovel it 6 or 7 times you'll change your mind, just a little though!
We're stil awaiting our first snofall here, can't wait for the brown to get its first covering of white. So pretty ...
Glasvegas really are hitting on all cylinders with this one. Another beautiful song for their collection.
Yes, Happy December to all.
David, when people say to me "you're living in a dream", it's usually meant to be a bad thing..I'm glad that's not the case with you :)
Do I really look like the shoveling kind? ;P
Dale, I know, it's sooooo lovely, and it was perfect for today! You should give it a spin when you get your first snowfall. Optical prettiness + sonical prettiness = priceless!
On a less relative note, if you need any help with Secret Santa, just let me know, I'm very willing :*
Did you guys get notified for this post btw?
*sigh*
Anna, you are one of the few reasons I stuck around on this website.
I originally found this when I wanted to hear what "White Chalk" sounded like before I spent the few dollars I had at the time. Ramen Noodles or PJ Harvey....I chose PJ, and I chose to subscribe to you.
Your post just yesterday really made my day. I was sort of lonely, my guy was off on a ski trip and I had the place to myself and only the cats, wine, a guitar, and my old faithful pc to keep me company.
I don't know if it was the fog, the awesome song selection, and the chance to get to compare the original with the very well done cover, or just my fondness of all the beautiful blogging you have done in the past, but you really made my day brighter by doing something that I hope you enjoy, because I know more than just myself appreciates what you do.
Keep up the good work, you are loved and apprecited!
BTW...I opted out of the ski trip becaue I grew up around the snow, and I have had so many sledding accicednts, and I don't have medical insurance.....gawd bless america(note the sarcasm). I feared for my meager current financial situation plummeting into the cold, cold dark abyss.
Snow tends to lend itself to icy roadways. That's never very good.
I love the winter!
Aaah, motorway pile ups.
Anna, I'd say that was me in the Guardian. Paps & journos everywhere I go. Very distracting. I tell 'em, "Hey, I'm not Brad Pitt, I just look like him." But they never listen. :(
so lucky you got snow, i got icey rain all weekend. i just have to wait till the weekend, i'm going on a snowboarding trip up north. happy december!
fyreowl...awww....you made me blush 523543.6 times...thank you so much for your kind words!
Music > food, on any given day. I've made similar choices in the past, too, and I never regretted it.
I can't adequately describe how happy the fact that my post made your day a bit brighter makes me. I love posting, talking, reading, and listening, and if I am somehow able to offer 1/50th of what I am receiving from MOGgers, that makes me insanely glad.
Cats, wine, a guitar, and your old faithful pc? Sounds just fiiine to me (on a not so relative note, I really miss my cat...I can't wait to see him when I go back home for the holidays...meow!) :)
Regarding the ski trip, I would have probably done the same thing. Plus, since you grew up around the snow, you didn't miss something totally new to you. There's always next time!
Thanks again, your comment really made my day. Have a great one!
Heath, the snow globe is not half empty...it's half full ;)
Lak, I used to not like the winter at all, but I'm a converted girl now :)
I'd love to do that btw. What you're doing in the picture, don't know what it's called in English :)
Fluxy, well, ridiculously good looks do have a price....deal with it and pay upfront! Accept the admiration of the mere mortals. Let them have someone they can look up to, set the example for the peasants! (I have lost the thread of my own thought, derailed my own comment)
madrid, nice! About the weekend trip, not the icy rain, that is. I haven't snowboarded in about 4 years now, I miss it. Enjoy!
i have not seen snow in years. freaking california!
I say a nice winter-trip is in order...
Did you celebrate by cutting out some nice snowflakes online?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Evil Mike strikes again!
Nice one Anna! I don't like the cold but I do enjoy snow, however we don't get it that often here in Memphis.
Beautiful song Anna, thanks for sharing that!
off to NYC next week. maybe i'll see some snow there.
You want snow? I've got some for everybody!
BTW, Anna, that f... red button is not working properly: the song is often interrupted by 2-5 seconds silences.
MOG seems to be having issues today, others are exp same condition
let the snow fall anna, here in minnesota we already have a good covering
Anna says:
And that was the Very First Time-Waster, too...
I need to find some more.
Ah.... perfect for under doona listening... no snowflakes likely here... it will probably be as hot as hades... which is why this year I am trying for my first White Christmas ever.... I am venturing Stateside to start on what will be an world extended trip... *fingers crossed' for snowflakes... beautiful post Ms Anna...
hey Anna, you way way up there on top of this snowpile, where can I get a copy of this EP? I am looking on iTunes, possibly a bad place hey?
Ooowwwww, you are soooo sweet sometimes. (Yeah, stop vomiting now)..
did I say something?? i T oon s?
Cheers, Mimi! Hope you get some {snow!} this year :)
You're very welcome, uncle A!
Pat, may the snow force be with you :)
Rejean...that looks so good to me...thanks for posting the picture! I wish the view out of my window was just as white!
As far as the red button is concerned, let it buffer for some time, and then it will work.
cpetersonart3, patient buffering is what I do to deal, it works :)
Kevin, you lucky snow duck!
Mike, yup...I can't believe you sucked me into a black time hole with the exact same weapon twice!
Zen, may snow be one of the may great things that you will experience in Manhattan! Thank you very much :)
Indy, this is what I found: A Snowflake Fell (And It Felt Like a Kiss) was released as part of a special edition double CD with the band's debut albumGlasvegas, featured in a small box with fold-out poster, and separately as a digital download.
So I'm guessing it will reach iTunes. If not, you can maybe MOG-mail Fluxy (FluxCapacitor) to ask her he got it from :)
Indy, don't worry, Neill is teasing me :P
Neill awwww! Sometimes....but after a while my gums hurt and I have to go back to being erm, mean ;o)
(hope you didn't damage your shoes...LOL!)
Thanks Anna, I knew they only had 1 release so that explains it.. I'll take a look and if not message he her fluxy .. LOL and no worires on the other.. you evil cute thing.. hahhahahaha
wow that song nails it perfectly! really hope i see some snow this winter. its a crap shoot here.
Indy, LOL! "where", I meant "where", not "her"! Oh bollocks, Fluxy's gonna kill me ahhahahah :P
Sam, I hear that! Word has it that you have to sacrifice a metal-head virgin in the name of the God of Snow to get some of that white magic. Hop to it then! :)
That's song's a real heart-tugger, I feel like watching Highlander all of a sudden. It's 15C here in Florida w/manky 64% humidity *sigh*.
Please go make devils in the snow :)
[Todays Anna-logy: when Anna makes snow angels, they always end up having horns ^_^].
Awwww! The cockles of my heart are warmed - or it's indigestion. In any case, no snow on the Cali Central Coast, but if it rains, the local kids might be coerced into making mud angels. (heh)
Uh oh, Anna, run! Mike's getting his cockle out!
A little snow is a wonderful thing. A lot of frequent snow is a pain. So enjoy, and be happy you don't live in the frozen North.
Anna... VERY cool song. I go to Vermont in January to experience more snow. I can't wait. I have not been in the snow since like 1980.
