Hive Open Mic #141 - Warm this Winter (Gabriella Cilmi/Connie Francis)
For this week's theme "Winter" I was tempted to post the obvious choice, a Christmas song, but instead I'd like to share a song originally released in 1962 by Connie Francis. I got to know it when Gabriella Cilmi released a remake in 2008, which I instantly liked for its airy sound. I used to play it on guitar a fair bit, but thought it might transfer to the piano quite nicely too.
Here in the East of England we had unusually low temperatures down to -10 °C, together with some snow for some time, I'm sure some areas were even lower, but I'm certain it was a surprise for many.
However, it seems ironic that this theme should start on the very day when very quickly the temperatures have risen to a mid day high from around 0°C on Friday to 13 °C today!
No snow anymore, just wet and a bit of a storm trying to get hold of us now.
Winter is nowhere near over though, of course, and it could get frosty again, no doubt, but for now ice skating and sleigh riding are only happening in my song!
Thanks for listening! 😀

You're too kind and I'm very glad you liked it!
Fantastic. A great song choice and really well accompanied.
Thank you, Barbara!
Nice one. I've heard that song before, but not sure which version. I do like yours though. The weather has been a bit crazy lately. The snow is a novelty for a while, but then it's just annoying. I made me miss a couple of runs. Back to the usual UK wet weather now :)
Stay warm.

Haha, yeah, back to the stereotype.. haha
Thanks, Steve! Somehow this has turned into a Christmas time only song, but guess, I can do it until spring starts, so I've got few more months yet.. 😃
Christmas is a strange time generally. There are certain things that are only supposed to be enjoyed around now, but we don't have to follow those 'rules'.
