"Song of the Day"

August 18, 2024

The Day 4 Woodstock Weekend Song of the Day

The Sunday night groups played on into the early hours of Monday morning,
and after Johnny Winter’s blazing blues set, contemporary jazz-rock group
Blood, Sweat, & Tears took the stage at 1:45 AM on 18 August 1969.

As the group’s sixth song of their set, they played “Sometimes In Winter”
which they had recorded for their eponymous second studio album, released
in December 1968. The Woodstock recording was not released until 2019
as part of the box set Woodstock - Back To The Garden.

Woodstock – Back to the Garden: The Definitive 50th Anniversary Archive
is a live album by various artists, packaged as a box set of 38 CDs. It
contains nearly all of the performances from the Woodstock music festival,
which took place on August 15–18, 1969, in Bethel, New York.

Sometimes In Winter - Blood, Sweat & Tears (1969)

Sometimes in winter
I gaze into the streets
And walk through snow and city sleet
Behind your room

Sometimes in winter
Forgotten memories
Remember you behind the trees
With leaves that cried

By the window once I waited for you
Laughing slightly you would run
Trees alone would shield us in the meadow
Makin' love in the evening sun

Now you're gone girl
And the lamp posts call your name
I can hear them
In the spring of frozen rain
Now you're gone girl
And the time's slowed down till dawn
It's a cold room and the walls ask
Where you've gone

Sometimes in winter
I love you when the good times
Seem like memories in the spring
That never came

Sometimes in winter
I wish the empty streets
Would fill with laughter from your tears
That ease my pain
