White Winter Hymnal

I think I might have written about this song a few months back. January. Now it's August (My, time has flown by.) So much has happened over these past few months and my love for Fleet Foxes has grown ever stronger. Now, along with Copeland (and Radiohead perhaps.) I have another band to grow along with. As the seasons change, the music I've come to hold dear will carry with it the same or a new, refreshed meaning to it. In January, White Winter Hymnal made me think of Winter. I think this Summer I have missed it. Now I am looking forward to the Autumn.

Earlier today I had was in a Fleet Foxes mood so I looked on youtube to listen to them while I worked. I came across this. And the memories of Copeland began to flood back. It was a bittersweet time for me then. And now...I'm going through another bittersweet moment. It's hard to say really...But part of all this, I've come to realize, I am turning 20 this year. 20. How did I make it this far? How did I become the woman I am today?

My birthday falls on October 7th. In Autumn. I am partly excited because I have missed the colder days (I always joke I'm a cold hearted person, for I much prefer colder weather.) That, and of course, my birthday (one more year till I'm legally allowed to drink.) This cover put me in a particularly Autumn-y mood. Plus...it was rainy today. and I like the rain. And the thought of wet leaves on the ground. There is a certain scent to it that I enjoy to smell. The combination of the rain and the smell of Fall. I miss it a great deal. Especially on my walks.

I won't go into further detail but I would love to see Copeland again. I want to see Fleet Foxes. I want to have a good time with my friends, family, and loved ones. I wonder if I can make some new memories like I did then.
