#SONGOFTHEDAY / #AMLISTENING = MIMOZA H: “WINTERLUDE” FEAT. JONATHAN CAYER ON PIANO
I imagine this would work splendidly as score in a movie. Perhaps in a suspense thriller that takes place during the winter. I imagine the protagonist fleeing from her captors, and she comes to the edge of a frozen lake, and her only chance of survival is...
