[2025] A Special Feature on Classic Western Songs to Listen to in December!

I’ll Be Home For ChristmasAl Green

Al Green-I’ll Be Home For Christmas

If you’re looking for a moving Christmas song, I recommend “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.” The lyrics are set against the backdrop of World War II, conveying the feelings of a man writing from the front, wishing he could be home with his family for Christmas.

Since it was released in 1943, the lyrics have a certain raw immediacy.

For this occasion, I’ve chosen Al Green’s soulful cover.

It also drew attention for its music video featuring Kiko Mizuhara, who is active as a model and actress.

A song about the love that’s about to begin.

The more you listen, the more you’ll be enchanted by the sensual, beautiful vocals—an exquisite pop song.

December Love

Let me introduce a heartwarming love song that wraps winter’s chill in the warmth of love.

New Kids On The Block’s track overflows with a gentle touch, as if blessing a December romance.

Featured on the expanded edition of their 2017 EP, Thankful (Unwrapped), this song stands out for its lyrics that paint scenes of two people walking through a snowy town and enjoying music together at home.

Its up-tempo melody pairs perfectly with the members’ mature vocals, creating a distinctly romantic winter atmosphere.

It’s a captivating tune you’ll want to play on a holiday-season date or during a quiet evening with someone special.

I’m With YouAvril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne – I’m With You (Official Video)

This is one of Avril Lavigne’s winter songs, extremely popular among young people.

Although it’s not themed around Christmas, as the title “Together With You” suggests, the lyrics express hopes like wanting to set off somewhere new on a cold night and wanting to change who you are now.

I think it’s recommended for anyone who wants to make a fresh start in the New Year.

When it comes to Christmas songs by the King of Rock, Elvis, this is the one.

It’s been covered many times, but the original is still the best.

Even though Christmas is such a joyful season, Elvis tenderly sings of a man’s heartache—how he’s truly blue without you.

George Michael, the British singer-songwriter known for classics like “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” and “Careless Whisper,” has released many timeless songs.

Among them, a piece that’s especially perfect for winter is “December Song (I Dreamed of Christmas).” Its melody evokes a dreamy image of winter and Christmas, and the lyrics depict Christmas as seen through a child’s eyes.
