Everything is beautiful in winter except the shivers of poor. Mark Twain

I keep coming back to this not because I want to but because I have to. Fabulous and done before megastardom.

This lad is going places in 2021. His voice is strong honest and true. It's straight from the soul something you can't fake or deny. The musical saviour of his generation no question.

I get tearful when the younger generation doff their cap to the past. Their parents have done great work!!

Alan Hull would indeed be proud. Stunning performance. Really tugs at my emotions this song.

@droelf4528 5 years ago

This emptiness after the song is haunting. There should be a thunderstorm of applause for this beautiful performance.

Sam's version is more emotional and powerful than the original, especially wth that brilliant orchestra.

THIS COVER IS EVERYTHING

@crispopa392 5 years ago

When winter's shadowy fingers
First pursue you down the street
And your boots no longer lie
About the cold around your feet
Do you spare a thought for summer
Whose passage is complete
Whose memories lie in ruins
And whose ruins lie in heat?

When winter comes howling in

When the wind is singing strangely
Blowing music through your head
And your rain-splattered windows
Make you decide to stay in bed
Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp
Who wishes she was dead
Or pull up your bedclothes higher
Dream of summertime instead?

When winter comes howling in

The creeping cold has fingers
That caress without permission
And mystic crystal snowdrops
Only aggravate the condition
Do you spare one thought for the traveler
With no secure position
Who's turned and spurned by village and town
At the magistrate's decision?

When winter comes howling in

When the turkey is in the oven
And the Christmas presents are bought
And Santa's in his module
He's an American astronaut
Do you spare one thought for Jesus
Who had nothing but his thoughts
Who got busted just for talking
And befriending the wrong sorts?

When winter comes howling in
When winter
When winter comes
Comes howling in

Astonishing interpretation & vocal performance. Alan Hull would be proud 👏.

I retired from teaching a couple of years ago. About 30 years ago I used Alan Hull's original in an assembly about homeless,hurting and dispossessed people. I hadn't heard this song sung by anyone for years and years....and this brought it all back...and I'm in bits...God bless ya Sam Fender!
