Hey hey, here's my Sunday contribution, quite winterly in a way:

(Lyrics below)
The whole song is centred around the piano. I would like to make another speciial mention of Csound for the ticking clock. Beyond LinuxSampler for piano, bass, one guitar, xylophone and the VPO strings, which are great fun to use, there is DrumGizmo with the Aasimonster kit, again in a different mix/sound, and Yoshimi for subtle details. The Behringer Neutron adds a little soft sub bass and the octave "tremolo" sound. Furthermore Csound added two more guitar layers.
There is something almost musical'esque in the song, it may be the strings or it may be the long narrative. There is a happy end.
I hope it adds something to your day! Best wishes, Jeanette
I'd rather be your voice, when you wake up in the night.
I'd sooth you with a smile and strive to be your light.
I'd burn alive and fall apart elsewhere.
You'd never see me break and tear my heart.
I'd rather hear you speak of things with no import
Than live a life devoid of you
And bear the pain of that finality
And walk that road of misery.
I'd rather brave the bleak, sad lands of autumn hue.
Your kind and tender heart, your quick and ready smile.
Were just two traits of you I fell
In love with, yet uncertain all the while
I did not dare to tell
That I love you.
Thus, unware you shared
The treasures of your heart.
Talk with me of books and roses,
Laugh with me 'bout silly jokes.
Don't be scared when I confess that I've fallen for you.
And now you are my voice, in the middle of the night.
All Lies In Shades Of Nacreous blue.
We made a world of wonders unforeseen,
A sea which sparkles with a magic sheen.
Now you gave me the choice, I wander at your site.
