If you've been paying attention, you would have noticed that I have been making a playlist for my NaNo project Winterheart. Well 24 songs - and a couple of Christmas albums - later I have finally reached the point of "enough".
Without further delay: Winterheart.

- And Winter Came - Enya
[Instrumental]
- The Christmas Song - Josh Groban
And so I’m offering this simple phrase / To kids from one to ninety-two
Although its been said many times, many ways / A very Merry Christmas to you
- Cosmic Love - Florence + The Machine
A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it’s left me blind
- Pushing Me Away - Linkin Park
I’ve lied to you / The same way that I always do
This is the last smile / That I’ll fake for the sake of being with you
- Broken Pieces - Apocalyptica feat. Lacey Sturm
A thousand shards of glass / I came to meet you and / And you cut the piece out of me
And as you ripped it all apart / That's when I turned to watch you
And as the light in you went dark / I saw you turn to shadow
- Away - Hannah Fury
I heard he is missing in the river now / They say he is nowhere to be found
- Wait It Out - Imogen Heap
Everybody says / That time heals everything
But what of the wretched hollow? The endless in-between? Are we just going to wait it out?
- Heavy In Your Arms - Florence + The Machine
And he took me to the river / Where he slowly let me drown
My love has concrete feet, my love's an iron ball / Wrapped around your ankles, over the waterfall
I'm so heavy
- Ice - Sarah McLachlan
The ice is thin come on dive in / Underneath my lucid skin / The cold is lost, forgotten
The only comfort is the moving of the river / You enter into me a lie upon your lips
Offer what you can I’ll take all that I can get / Only a fool’s here…
- Frozen - Within Temptation
I can’t feel my senses / I just feel the cold / All colors seem to fade away
I can’t reach my soul / I would stop running if I knew there was a chance
It tears me apart to sacrifice it all but I’m forced to let go
- Remember - Emilie Autumn
Every other touch / Runs as cold as ice / If I get too close / I may pay the price
But I remember you
- I Walk Alone - Tarja
Put all your angels on the edge / Keep all the roses, I’m not dead / I left a thorn under your bed
I’m never gone / Go tell the world I’m still around
- Winterhearted - Xandria
I was romantic, so silly and blind / I told the world that true love had a name
But all that is left now is pity and shame
One of us is winterhearted / One of us is cold as ice / One of us is breaking hearts / And it’s not me
- Gollum's Song - Emiliana Torrini
These tears you cry / Have come too late / Take back the lies / The hurt, the blame!
And you will weep / When you face the end alone / You are lost / You can never go home
- Home On Christmas Day - Kristin Chenoweth
And now that winter’s here / Soon it will be Christmas / I see your face so clear
Though you’re far away / Your home is in my heart / It’s everywhere I go
And I’ll be waiting here / ‘Til you’re home to stay
- Winternight - Visions of Atlantis
Cold winternight - no way out of the dark / No one´s leading me back to the place I belong
Uncovered secrets will never be found / No rebirth, no regrets - never be the one to hold
- Running Up That Hill - Placebo
C'mon, baby, c'mon, c'mon, darling / Let me steal this moment from you now.
- All I Wanted - Paramore
Think of me when you're out, when you're out there / I'll beg you nice from my knees
When the world treats you way too fairly / It's a shame I'm a dream
All I wanted was you
- Carol Of The Bells - Emmy Rossum
Hark how the bells / Sweet silver bells / All seem to say / Throw cares away
Oh how they pound / Raising the sound / O’er hill and dale / Telling their tale
- Winterborn 77 - Sirenia
There is a river in my dreams that runs so wide, that runs so deep
And by its riverine I still can hear you weep
There is a winter in my heart so freezing cold and utter dark
It keeps me down and tears my sanity apart
- Bring Me To Life - Evanescence
How can you see into my eyes like open doors / Leading you down into my core
Where I’ve become so numb without a soul / My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
- Ice Queen - Within Temptation
When she embraces / Your heart turns to stone / She comes at night when you are all alone
And when she whispers / Your blood shall run cold / You better hide before she finds you
- Snowed Under - Keane
I don’t know why I waste my time / Getting hung up about the things you say
When I open my eyes and it’s a lovely day
You know sometimes I feel like I’m / Getting snowed under with the things you say
When I open my eyes and it’s a lovely day
- I’ll Be Home For Christmas - Sarah Mclachlan
I’ll be home for Christmas / You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe / And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me / Where the love light gleams
I’ll be home for Christmas / If only in my dreams
