What song best reflects my current mood? Well, a quick search through the 4475 songs in iTunes indicates that it must be Solitude by Duke Ellington (as played by the McCoy Tyner trio.)

Maybe it's because it's dark out but I know the snow is still falling, and I'm cozy in the house on a cold winter's night. But it's an upbeat song, and I'm feeling the upbeat vibe myself. As odd as this may sound, I heavily associate Jazz with Winter. I blame my parents.
