Song Of The Day: Myrkur – Ella

We may have had some relatively mild weather over the last few days, but it is still March and as Shakespeare once wrote, “Winter’s not gone yet, if the wild geese fly that way.” Well, I certainly haven’t seen any wild geese lately, but it is snowing a bit outside right now, so that’s definitely a reminder that winter’s not quite through with us yet.
