“Let’s have some wine and take off our scarves!”

It’s a snowy day in Madison, the roads are slippery, the air is cold, the sky is grey. Not much to celebrate. It’s days like this I wish I were somewhere else.

One of the few things that keeps winter in Wisconsin from being completely unbearable is the feeling of relief you get when you get back inside after being out in it for awhile. The release of ripping off all of your winter outerwear and throwing it in a pile. Knowing you can now sit back watching the snow fall outside your window. It’s easier to admire the beauty of it from a distance.

Both the idea of escape and the joy of coming in from the cold are present in today’s song, Patchwork’s “Interstate Love Song II.” One of my favorite tracks off of last year’s “Take Me Down The Interstate.”

Enjoy the song, and try to keep warm, everyone.

Also, if you enjoyed this song, the man behind the Patchwork moniker, Jeremiah Nelson, has his own blog that you can check out here.
