Loreena from "A Midwinter Night's Dream". Thank you for inspiration :)))
Lyrics:
White are the far-off plains, and white
The fading forests grow;
The wind dies out along the height,
And denser still the snow,
A gathering weight on roof and tree,
Falls down scarce audibly.
The road before me smooths and fills
Apace, and all about
The fences dwindle, and the hills
Are blotted slowly out;
The naked trees loom spectrally
Into the dim white sky.
The meadows and far-sheeted streams
Lie still without a sound;
Like some soft minister of dreams
The snow-fall hoods me round;
In wood and water, earth and air,
A silence everywhere.
Save when at lonely intervals
Some farmer's sleigh, urged on,
With rustling runners and sharp bells,
Swings by me and is gone;
Or from the empty waste I hear
A sound remote and clear;
The barking of a dog, or call
To cattle, sharply pealed,
Borne echoing from some wayside stall
Or barnyard far afield;
Then all is silent and the snow falls
Settling soft and slow
The evening deepens and the grey
Folds closer earth and sky
The world seems shrouded, far away.
Its noises sleep, and I secret as
Yon buried streams plod dumbly on and dream.

Listened to this song one evening, next day all the plains were white.

The extreme lack of snow lately has depressed me greatly. However, listening to this song and seeing such images helps pull me through the dreary weather and days until the day comes when I wake up to find mountains of clean, fresh snow. :)

Oh beautifull, I heard she when i was only 4 years old, it makes me sleep, no for boring is for the music and her fantastic voice. When you are nervous you should listen she!

@DruidRobur If you want the mp3 I can send it to you but again ye it is weird, she must've released the album with warner brothers. Artists like Loreena McKennitt get a lot out of youtube and other sites coz i would never have discovered her if it weren't for Pandora internet radio. They dont let uk people listen to it but i've found a way round that...use Hotspot shield, it tricks the site to think your in the USA.
