Harmony in the Season


The time change this week ushered in fall and winter, and all the sentimental feelings that come with those seasons. Whenever the seasons change I am reminded of the power of music to conjure up specific feelings. Certain music played during the right season is perfection. For some reason it just feels fitting to listen to piano and jazz music in the dark evenings of the fall and winter. There is just something magical about music in the nighttime. Here are some of my favorite TV and movie clips involving music.

I love the sultry nighttime feeling of this clip from Treme.

Heartbreaking scene from You've Got Mail.

We have the family tradition of watching Into the Wild every Christmas season. Some say it is depressing, but it feels right to watch a movie about the great outdoors. Plus, the music from Eddie Vedder is amazing.

Not necessarily a winter clip, but this tribute from The Office is stirring. I don't have proof, but I think this was a surprise to Steve Carell.
