Winter has begun as we all cross our fingers for snow even though the forecast says 70 degrees and sunny. Below is a  playlist with the songs reminiscent  of cold winter nights and sweet hot chocolate. There are 24 songs  on the playlist, and the following  are my top five:

“Bitter Pill” by Gavin James: This song is beautiful and heartbreaking to listen to, as it’s  full of emotion. I love how you can hear the sadness in the voice of James. He does a great job mirroring his voice with the regretful lyrics. This song is one for sitting peacefully in front of a fire.

“The Globalist” by Muse: This song is a masterpiece. Muse is one of the most amazing bands out there, with song writing as creative and genius as Queen. This song may be pretty long, but it’s worth a full listen while you are driving around looking at Christmas lights.

“Love at First Sight” by The Brobecks: This is a cute song about getting flustered in a first encounter. It makes me think of the first time meeting someone who you know instantly  will be a big part of your life. It is so sweet and an easy song to listen to. It reminds me of laughing and drinking peppermint hot chocolate with a friend or a date in the cold weather.

“Dancing On My Own (Acoustic)” by Calum Scott: This is one of my favorite songs. It is a heartbreaking piece about love and loss. This song would pair well with some fuzzy socks and a cozy blanket to cuddle up with.

“Little Grace” by Hippo Campus: This song is fun and enjoyable. It puts you in a good mood from the very start, and I love the playful percussion. It is definitely a song to play at your New Year’s Eve party.
