“This playlist is just what I think winter feels like,” Esha Tewari tells Apple Music about her handpicked winter playlist. “The songs are bittersweet and just feel like the cold when I listen to them. Imagine you are catching the bus home after a long, cold night, impatiently waiting to get back home,” says the Sydney-based indie-folk singer, setting the scene. “The distance between where you are and where you want to be feels so large. I want you to go through the ins and out of winter, becoming anew and seeing the beauty in the cold as well as dwelling in it at times.” Read on for more on some of Tewari’s top picks. Karate, “Today or Tomorrow” “I picked this song for obvious reasons, with the opening line, ‘It’s all a part of winter.’ It immediately transports you to the cold and sets the scene.” Bon Iver, “For Emma” “A classic song. That perfect mix of melancholy and sweet melody. This song sits right where it needs to and hits the spot every time.” Modern Baseball, “I Think You Were in My Profile Picture Once” “This song feels like the more sweet parts of winter, where you start to find the beauty in the cold, and how there is still warmth to find.” Whatever, Dad, “Warsh_Tippy and Zelda” “This song makes me think of having a warm cozy night with the people you love, wrapped around a fireplace or a space heater.” Adrianne Lenker & Buck Meek, “Ringing Bells” “Whenever I hear this song, I just have to hear it again and again. Each time I hear it, it feels anew. This is a perfect ending to the playlist: The instrumentation is so sweet and cute, and leaves you on a higher note than you left off.”
