WHISTLE (Acoustic Ver.)BLACKPINK

[Full Audio] BLACKPINK – WHISTLE (휘파람) (Acoustic Ver.) [2nd Single Album]

This is a 2016 release by a girl group from YG Entertainment.

The acoustic version has a chic vibe that’s perfect for winter.

The title of the song, “Whistle” (Hwiparam), is repeated many times in the chorus and literally means a whistling sound.

It likens passionate feelings of love to a whistle ringing in your ears; while chic, it still has a catchy, idol-like mood that’s irresistibly cute.

Speed Of SoundColdplay

Coldplay – Speed Of Sound (Official Video)

This is a mellow track from Coldplay’s 2005 album X&Y.

Don’t the beautiful falsetto and melody evoke a quiet winter landscape? It also gives me a sense of something vast and majestic in nature.

It’s a comfortable song to listen to, one that makes me feel like something wonderful might blossom between you and me, or in our future.

Winter can be cold and make our spirits sink, but try listening to a heartwarming song like this one.

No Ordinary LoveSade

Sade – No Ordinary Love – Official – 1992

Sade is a British rock band formed in 1984.

This song is from their 1992 album LOVE DELUXE, and its title, No Ordinary Love, translates to “an extraordinary love.” When you think of winter events, Christmas and lovey-dovey moments with a partner come to mind, but this song evokes a much deeper, more profound kind of winter love.

Its overall quiet tone and steady mood, on the contrary, create a taut, almost piercing sense of tension.

Happy SeasonEarth, Wind & Fire

Earth, Wind & Fire – Happy Season (Lyric) (Digital Video)

Here’s a perfect holiday-season track from Earth, Wind & Fire’s 2014 Christmas album.

The band, which has produced numerous hits since the 1970s, delivers soulful vocals and an irresistibly groovy rhythm that will, without question, put you in a cheerful winter and Christmas mood.

It’s a song that blows the cold away—highly recommended!
