Walk Out to Winter



During the Christmas season along with the holiday songs on the muzak at work they also played repeatedly "Walk Out to Winter" by Aztec Camera.  This brought me untold happiness as it is one of my most favorite songs by one of my most favorite bands.  It was so odd hearing this 30 year old song that I adore from not a too huge band being played over and over but I smiled every time.  A few times when it was slow I would sing along and make a big display of it, all much to Brent's amusement.  Brent kills me.  He is so serious but when I act like a goof he dies laughing.  He is too entertaining.  Lately everyone back east keeps talking about the weather and the winter vortex thing is all over the internet.  Today I was feeling a bit miserable and lost.  While trying to find something productive to do and reading all about this crazy vortex thing, this song popped into my head so I decided to make a video.  All of the images were found on the internet as it is not too easy for me to get pictures of snow.  It is a bit slapped together but I am still happy with it - mostly because of the song.  My favorite part is when he dramatically reprimands, "Get your gear, get out of here  AND walk out to winter, swear I'll be there!".  That is the point in the song my gestures get really exaggerated with arms flailing and Brent pissing himself.  Not this winter but who knows, perhaps as the song says, next winter, "I'll be there.".
