Confesiones de Invierno (Winter Confessions) is the second album of Argentine folk rock group Sui Generis, released on 1973.

This album is well known for its very famous compositions, some which have become anthems for both adults and, surprisingly, youngsters who were born decades after it was released.

The song "Rasguña Las Piedras" (Scratch the Stones) is sourrounded by a macabre urban myth. The myth states that the song is a tribute to one of Charly García's closest friends, with whom he had a strong emotional relationship. Accordingly, she died of an unexplained sudden death. Even more unexplaied is the fact that when the body was exhumated shortly after, "scratches" were found on the upper-inner side of the coffin, which made people suspect she was not quite dead as they first suspected. Though the veracity of the myth has never been estipulated, it surely help to establish García's fame as an eccentric character.
