Hours Outside in the Snow

Modern Baseball, a pivotal band in the emo revival scene based out of Philadelphia.

This track, which closes their debut album “Sports” (November 2012), is a poignant piece that captures the tangled feelings for a love interest while standing outside in the snow on Christmas Eve.

Interweaving unrequited emotions and regret, the lyrics ultimately end not in bitterness but in gratitude, sinking deeply into the heart amid the stillness of winter.

The layering chorus that builds toward the end conveys a swell of emotion, and the passionate stacked vocals—reminiscent of Taking Back Sunday—leave a strong impression.

It’s the kind of song that gently keeps you company on a cold night spent lost in thought, or when you’re carrying a tender, aching love.

The collaboration with Jaden blends rhythmic rap with a chill lo-fi beat, crafting a dreamy soundscape.

It wraps the bittersweet feeling of love—like snow that melts in your hand—in a warm vocal tone.

Centered on the difficulty of expressing emotions, this winter song is one you’ll want to listen to on a snowy night while thinking of someone dear.

Prince, the genius musician whose name is etched in music history.

Released in 1986 as the final track on his album Parade, this song portrays the death of Christopher Tracy, a character from the film Under the Cherry Moon.

With the paradoxical image of snow falling in spring, it captures unexpected loss and sorrow, while its gentle piano and acoustic guitar melodies sink deeply into the heart.

April 21, 2016—the day Prince passed away—was, poignantly, the same date on which he recorded this piece.

It’s a song for anyone who has lost someone dear, or for a quiet night when you want to sink into memories.
