Changing seasons, Changing sounds

Music for me is not only mood related, but also very season related.With this cold, dark, sun-deprived weather, there's noting more soothing than the melancholic sound of good music.
Here are my favourite artists and songs that are getting me through this winter.

Glen Hansard, an artist that I got to know through the movie Once (a must-watch if you haven't).
My favourite song of his at this moment is 'Birds of Sorrow'.

Keaton Henson. A great performer and artist. There's something very odd about him which makes his appearance very interesting. His fragile voice gives me goosebumps. I love listening to this walking outside in the dark in an empty street.
You have to listen to 'Sweetheart what have you done to us'.

Little May. Usually I'm not very fond of female singers but there's something about this band's voice that makes me calm. I love the build up of the instruments and vocals ending up in a climax a several times in the song. Ok, ok, every song has a build-up and a climax, but this one really does it for me. 'Hide' is a very good example of what I'm talking about.

Wise Children. I never get bored of their song 'Absence' because it's so dynamic and changing. I come short of words explaining this, I guess listening to it is the best way to see what I'm talking about.


Do you have favourite songs each season as well? Which artist do you mostly listen to recently?
