A Moody, Baroque Rock Music Mix
BY LISA MARIE BASILE
A playlist for winter mornings. A playlist for tea at last. A playlist for the moment after a strange dream. For when your porch has iced over. For when nostalgia has gripped you. For the diffused afternoon light. For late night whiskey. For a walk over the bridge in the fog. For when you need a moment alone during the holidays. For the train ride through the trees. For the sea during winter. For when you feel so much love your heart aches. For when your heart is so pliable you have collapsed. For when the rain is a friend. For when your hands are cool to the touch. For when you have found forgiveness. For when you are awake before everyone else. For when you light a candle. For you.
