Winter Song

Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
This is my winter song to you
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea
My voice, a beacon in the night
My words will be your light
To carry you to me
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love...
They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow
Or so I have been told
They say we're buried far
Just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
'Cause you're not where you belong
Inside my arms
Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
I still believe in summer days
The seasons always change
And life will find a way
I'll be your harvester of light
And send it out tonight
So we can start again
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
This is my winter song
December never felt so wrong
'Cause you're not where you belong
Inside my arms
This is my winter song to you
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea
My love, a beacon in the night
My words will be your light
To carry you to me
(16x)
Is love alive?

Sara Bareilles' "Winter Song" stands as a poignant reflection on the quiet melancholy of the holiday season.

The recording showcases her signature ability to blend intimate storytelling with accessible melodies, creating a sonic landscape that feels both personal and universally relatable. While often associated with her broader discography of empowering anthems, this piece offers a more subdued, introspective moment. It highlights her versatility as a songwriter who can navigate complex emotions without relying on grandiose production. The song remains a cherished song in her catalogue, resonating with listeners who find solace in music that acknowledges the darker side of the season.
