Comment:

The sounds of a melancholy winter rise up anywhere a warm heart beats against the gloomy chill of a cold and sunless world: down in bluegrass country, where the silvery voice of Alison Krauss forecasts a long and lonely “Winter of a Broken Heart”; between the Empire State Building and Trafalgar Square, where Galaxie 500 breathe dreamy new life into Yoko Ono’s “Listen, the Snow Is Falling”; in the atmospheric wonderland of alt-pop overlords Cocteau Twins and their glittering “Ice-Pulse”; and even on the dance floor, where Duran Duran wait it out in fine ’80s style as “Winter Marches On.”
