December Morning

This winter ballad, which closes out the 1981 album “Kaze Tachinu” (The Wind Rises), paints a scene of waiting for a cherished visitor at a lodge on a morning when powdery snow is dancing in the air.

With acoustic production arranged by Shigeru Suzuki, the sound avoids flashiness yet gently seeps into the heart.

It’s the perfect song for a quiet morning as the year draws to a close, when you want to look back on the past year and take things slow.
