Tag: music for later
Hey there. So, I’m looking for music for the winter solstice/yule. The thing is, I don’t know where to start. I’d love something with a Heatheny-flavor, but not necessarily. I’ve always felt like my Yule is missing something, that nostalgic, goodwill feeling that music in stores and such always gives me. You have a lot of followers… would you be willing to open this question up to them?
Sure because I have no idea, I just listen to Carol of the Bells nonstop during the holidays. I love Carol of the Bells.
I assembled a huge list of carols of pre-Christian origin if you’re interested :O
EDIT: I’m thinking of making a youtube playlist maybe?
Oh! That would be great!

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL9tv0v-CEoDQr6anFrc6V_lle3vuHRVvMHere’s the playlist. It’s a combination of traditional Yule carols (i.e. lots of wassailing songs), songs that probably had pre-Christian origin but have been Christianised (i.e. The Holly and the Ivy), later Christian era songs with pagan themes (i.e. We Wish You a Merry Christmas), traditional melodies that were given lyrics more recently (i.e. Auld Lang Syne), and a few contemporary Yule songs that I’ve found which I really like. Also O Tannenbaum and Carol of the Bells.
Wow, thank you so much, @jordfast-lokaverr! This is wonderful!

This list is so good I wanna cry
Alright ladies and gentlemen, here it is. This is a list of songs referenced in and relevant to the musical Hamilton. Some are direct references that have been mentioned by @linmanuel himself and some are tracks which I think match the soundtrack either lyrically or musically or both.
Listen here , and read more for an in depth analysis on where each song fits in and why I chose it.
Happy Christmas!!
A song I associate with you: Let Her Cry by Hootie and the Blowfish, everything on sketchy 90s Rock
ahhhh, Sketchy 90s Rock. Still the best compilation I have ever made. ❤
