MUMFORD AND SONS - WINTER WINDS

                                       WINTER WINDS


Title: Winter Winds

Album: Sigh No More

Label: London-based

Music style: 
Folk Rock. Es un género musical que combina elementos de la música folk, el blues y el rock. Sin embargo el término se suele usar preferentemente, aunque no exclusivamente, en referencia a la música de fusión surgida en los Estados Unidos y Reino Unido, a mediados de los años sesenta.  En muchos aspectos, el folk-rock se solapa con otras denominaciones aplicadas a fusiones de música tradicional estadounidense y rock, como es el caso del country rock o del llamado rock sureño.

What this song is about:
In the cold London winter, the relationship of two people comes up and down. They love each other but they have their doubts and difficulties. They fight for their love as live is short and we want to good memories to stay. Bad time will pass when good weather arrives.

Why I have chosen this song?
I have chosen this song because my mother likes the group very much and she often listens to their music at home. In fact, this summer she recorded a CD which included a couple of Mumford and Sons´ themes. We have travelled all the summer with this CD in the car and all the family  have eventually learned the song and come to like it. I hope you like it too.



What does this song makes me feel?
I have been listening to it since I was a child so when I listen to it , reminds me
all the moments with my mother and with all the family, because we are used to sing it all together in the car. This song makes me feel happy when I am bad. I think that it is a great song that people would enjoy a lot listening to it.

What is this song about?
The song was written about the pain and loss Clapton felt following the death of this four-year-old son, Conor. He fell from a window of a 53rd-floor New York City apartament building owned by his mother's friend on March 20, 1991. He landed on the roof of a building when a few minutes later Clapton arrived at that apartament.

I have chosen this song because...
It is my father favourite one. After having understand it in detail now I can imagine why my father likes this song so much. Plis it is a song well known by both the lyrics and the singers. My father comprehends the pain and fear Eric with this song is trying to transmit as he happened for any loss some years ago

What this song makes me feel is...
Once yoy have catched the meaning of the song you realize how hard must be to loose someone you deeply love. I think that for Eric Clapton must be one of the most importan song for him because was the first he wrote after the death of his son, and from my point of view he tries to share with us his feelings.
