Dreams Have Frozen Crystal In The Morning

It's December, a time when we hear the usual holiday music playing; about 300 artists singing their own versions of the wide variety of 7 or 8 songs that are either about baby Jesus, Santa, or winter.

I'm one of those odd individuals who, once in a while, would like to hear a different song concerning the season.

This is a beautiful and mournful song by Duran Duran (video is fan-made) that gives the feel of a dead and frozen world, though I remember reading an interview from one of the band members that it's largely about the sadness of baby Jesus growing up to face dark times and death and of the helplessness his mother must have felt.




Yes, I know of the "happy" ending, but Duran Duran keeps the story real with "Winter Marches On" by reminding us of the sad details that are frozen in time.
