Alaska In Winter

Today's secret word is: "gloomderful"

coverart-alaskainwinter.jpgI propose the creation of a new word today: “gloomderful.” It doesn’t exist. I checked. I googled it. Nothing. It’s mine.

Defined, I would say gloomderful is “of a sort of gloom that causes or arouses wonderfulness.” Usage? That remix of the song Horsey Horse by Alaska In Winter is gloomderful. Dictionary editors will soon be beating down my door to add this soon-to-be super-hot neologism to the pages of their language references. Concerns expressed by doubters and haters over the need for such a term will be brownbeat into debate limbo once I pull out Horsey Horse and actuallly play it for them.

Yes, it’s gloomy; quiet, actually. A soft, wrenching, romantic ballad maintained by a lonesome piano chord and wispy, ghostlike vocals, all somewhat solemn by a persistent marching drum roll. Yet even if the song oscillates into a proper limber beat which punctuates a final groove none too harshly, it remains in step with its overcast intro, but entirely uplifting.

Thus, that remix of the song Horsey Horse by Alaska In Winter is gloomderful.
