Inspired by the approaching time change, we spring forward into two songs about winter sunlight and, specifically, Seasonal Affective Disorder. We expect a spooky twist from Lemon Demon’s “SAD”, but it mostly does what’s written on the tin. There’s also a literal story of SAD in Sunturns’ “First Winter”, but with layers of meaning and metaphor that give it the vibrancy of a sunrise.
The ranking music in this episode is “Aurora Borealis” by Lemon Demon.
Fun fact: we recorded this exactly one day before British Columbia announced that it’s adopting permanent Daylight Savings Time, so we got to this theme just in time!!!
I regret to inform you that this audio is raw and not in a cool way – in an unedited way.
Thanks for this. We did notice the day it was posted, but listeners may need to re-download in their podcast app to hear the correct version.
