Alright, here's part two of my little "project" - seasons. All of these songs feature one of the four seasons in their title, except for fall/autumn which didn't provide a plethora of really amazing songs (that I found, anyway) so for just that one, I went with songs that mention it in the lyrics instead. As always, every song comes highly recommended. I even discovered a new artist while doing this - the lovely Britta Persson - so that always makes things worth it. Here we are:

WINTER

~~Bright Eyes - If Winter Ends~~

I give myself three days to feel better or else I swear I'll drive right off a fucking cliff 'cause if I can't learn to make myself feel better, how can I expect anyone else to give a shit?

~~Britta Persson - Winter Tour~~

The music we were listening to, it is still my favorite music. It brings forth other feelings, though - it is nice to be this much alive.

~~Eisley - The Winter Song~~

Walking home, with the snow, it is falling down. Passing by lit windows, the people inside, they wave from the glow.

~~Missy Higgins - Blind Winter~~

It was a black winter night as she stumbled on and with every step grew closer to the ground. She knew her one chance of living on was to strip away all the colors that were casting her astray.

~~Tori Amos - Winter~~

Mirror mirror, where's the crystal palace? But I only can see myself skating around the truth, who I am, but I know, dad, the ice is getting thin.

SPRING

~~Britta Persson - This Spring~~

I'll make spring out of this winter; no one will stop me this year. I'll let you know that I love you as soon as I'm done here.

~~Dar Williams - Spring Street~~

I can find a small apartment where a struggling artist died and pretend because I pay the rent I know that pain inside.

~~Jolie Holland - Springtime Can Kill You~~

If you don't go get what you need, something's going to break on the inside.

~~Matson Jones - Spring Fever~~

I'm going to go down to the east end. I'm going to throw myself in the ocean. There will be hell to pay when I get out today.

~~Tori Amos - Spring Haze~~

I found out where my edge is and it bleeds into where you resist and my only way out is to go so far in.

SUMMER

~~Kristin Hersh - Summer Salt~~

For a toxic thing, you sure smell pretty - summer, salt and wine. For an ugly boy, you sure look pretty - a cowboy Frankenstein.

~~Land of Talk - Summer Special~~

Hey, that's really hard to say. If I didn't knock it now, I wouldn't knock it then.

~~Regina Spektor - Summer in the City~~

Don't get me wrong, dear - in general, I think I'm doing quite fine. It's just when it's summer in the city and you are long gone from the city, I start to miss you, baby, sometimes.

~~Veda Hille - One Hot Summer~~

There's so much beauty that I don't believe in but God knows that my mouth holds more teeth than wisdom.

AUTUMN/FALL

~~Bright Eyes - A Perfect Sonnet~~

Once you knew a girl and you named her "Lover", danced with her in kitchens through the greenest summer. Autumn came, she disappeared, you can't remember where she said she was going to.

~~The Dresden Dolls - Delilah~~

There's no doubt he's at home in his room, probably watching porn of you from the fall. It's last call and you're the last one leaving. And you thought you could change the world by opening your legs - well, it isn't very hard; try kicking them instead. And you thought you could change his mind by changing your perfume to the kind his mother wore. Oh God, Delilah, why? I never met a more impossible girl.

~~Maria Taylor - Birmingham 1982~~

The crisp sound of fall, I still recall, but do you still remember flashlights under covers, raindrops on my tongue, when life had no distractions and love wasn't hurting anyone?

~~Mates of State - What I Could Stand For~~

It's autumn, love. You're better for the several of us. You group it and you group it but it's autumn, love.

The final part, months, is coming very soon!
