5 famous winter songs

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow

Perhaps the most famous song about snowfall was written in 1945 by Americans Sammy Kann and Jules Stein. For more than 70 years of its existence, the composition has been performed by hundreds of musicians, but the most famous, undoubtedly, cover versions of Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra.

In this song, the author talks about a blizzard outside the window, about a warming fire in the fireplace and about the same warming love.

California Dreamin '

Without translation, this song does not seem like a winter song at all, rather, on the contrary. But if you listen, it's easy to translate the opening lines of the chorus: "Dreams of California on a typical winter day."

The song was ranked 89th on Rolling Stone magazine's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and has been covered by dozens of bands including R. E. M. and the Beach Boys. In modern music, California Dreamin 'was remembered for her performance in the film San Andreas Fault and a free translation from Mumiy Troll.

Baby, It's Cold Outside

Baby, It's Cold Outside is a dialogue between a woman who is about to go home and a man who persuades her to stay. This song was written by Frank Losser in 1944, he and his wife, and performed it for the first time at one of the parties.

The composition has dozens of cover versions. For example, in the playlist you can hear Baby, It's Cold Outside performed by Ray Charles and Betty Carter, and in the video - performed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Lady Gaga.

A Winter's Tale

This Queen's song is already really sad: the hero sees a beautiful, calm and wonderful world, but doubts its reality. The lyrics of The Winter's Tale seem even more dramatic if you know the details of its creation. For example, the fact that this is the last song written by Freddie Mercury, as well as the fact that he composed it while sitting at the window of the Queen studio in the Swiss city of Montreux, when he was already seriously ill.

January blizzard is ringing

Not everyone knows that this song in the film is performed not by Natalya Selezneva, who played Zinochka, but by the singer Nina Brodskaya. Another noteworthy fact: initially the song "The January Blizzard is Rings" was supposed to be sung by Sofia Rotaru, but her version did not fit because of a too low voice and a serious manner of performance. However, justice prevailed at the 2006 New Year's Light, where the famous singer nevertheless performed a hit from Ivan Vasilyevich.

In the playlist you will hear the original version of the film performed by Nina Brodskaya, and in the video - the original version of Sofia Rotaru.
