The Pitchfork readers choice song of the year. The Stereogum album of the year. The Vague Space 6th best song of the year. And the song most appropriate for the past two days in New Jersey, which began with temperatures in the 70s on Monday that plummeted overnight and brought rain, then sleet, then driving snow this afternoon which covered the cars and roads and brought winter in unexpected force and had me wishing summer would just return for one more day again.
All swallowed in their coats
With scarves of red tied round their throats
To keep their little heads
From falling in the snow
And I turned round and there you go
And Michael you would fall,
And turn the white snow
Red as strawberries
In the summertime...
