Playlist: Winter Music

Listen to all of Singing Mountain’s winter music episodes in one playlist, if that’s your thing.

Last year, I celebrated the season with a trove of icy blue tracks from wintery video game levels, with none of the mirth and jingle of most Christmastime music. This year, I intended to go cheerier… but I didn’t, and instead I’m given you more chilled-to-the-touch levels that evoke Christmas eve in an ice cave. Stay cool. This episode is a sequel to Episode 12, Diamond Dust.

Hey, remember winter? The season we’re in right now? In response to audience requests, I decided to get in one more episode about non-jolly winter music. And unlike Episode 33, I talk less on this one so you can enjoy an hour of what it would sound like to hang out in a palace made of ice.

What if you celebrated Christmas in a 16-bit ice cavern? That's the mood this episode wants to create for you. In this end-of-year installment, I'm trying to get together the best of the less holly-jolly music from ice levels. Think crystal blue. Think sparkly. Think about there being nary a jingle bell in sight. And don't worry about sliding off a ledge and plummeting to your doom.

Seasons come and go in the world of the Harvest Moon games. This episode is all about the music you hear when snow covers the landscape. It’s all peaceful, but with a twinge of sadness, because it’s the coldest time of year and presumably the worst time for a harvest. The game, however, must go on.
