In the bleak midwinter

I've been a fan of Corrine May ever since I saw her play her songs live in Gloria Jeans cafe in Holland Village in 2002. You might be over Christmas but this song is so intimately expressed, it puts you right in that coffeeshop where she's playing. There is something very comforting about being in a toasty cafe on a cold wet winter's day. While the cars buzz outside, inside - its calm and peaceful.

Watch her perform live at her neighbourhood Peets Coffee where she sips tea and writes song daily.
