Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and have been contributing to music magazines and web media for over 15 years. Although Western music is my main field, I always strive to stay curious with the motto, “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in a band, where I was a bassist responsible for songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve performed on include bass, guitar, and piano. I resumed piano lessons after turning 40 and have been continuing ever since!

There are plenty of articles that introduce songs themed around the seasons or specific months, but this piece takes a slightly different approach by rounding up Western music that “became hits in February.”

Focusing on songs that charted in the U.

S.

and U.

K.

in February, it’s a perfect way to revisit the tracks that generated the most buzz during that month.

February is a time when many students are preparing for entrance exams or graduation, so it can be fun to look back and remember which songs were hits during that hectic period.

In the latter half, we also introduce songs themed around February, so you get a two-for-one treat—enjoy!

Mineral – February (with lyrics)

Februarymineral

Mineral is a rock band known for their emotionally moving, heart-stirring lyrics.

They’ve been very active, even touring in Japan.

And when it comes to a song for February, it has to be “February.” The track runs just under four minutes, with most of it consisting of an instrumental section—one of its defining features.

Because of that, the few lyrics carry a powerful message.

There are many ways to interpret it, but I see it as likening the February snow to a bittersweet farewell.

I encourage you to explore your own interpretation, too.

Morgan Wallen’s song released in March 2023 feels like a new expression that transcends the boundaries of country music.

Portraying the complex emotions stirred by alcohol, this piece—delivered through Wallen’s powerful yet delicate vocals—will leave a deep impression on listeners.

Included on the album One Thing At A Time, it achieved the remarkable feat of holding the No.

1 spot on the Billboard charts for an extended period.

Showcasing the breadth of Wallen’s musicality, it’s a track I recommend not only to country fans but also to lovers of pop and rock.

In chilly February, it’s sure to resonate with anyone sensing the end of a romance.

Mumford & Sons – Winter Winds

Winter WindsMumford & Sons

This is a gem of a song that delicately portrays the cold and loneliness of winter.

Released in the UK in December 2009 by Mumford & Sons, it reached number 44 on the UK Singles Chart.

As the second single from their debut album, Sigh No More, the track captures the transience of love and the complexities of human relationships through the image of winter winds passing through people’s hearts.

Carried by the warm tones of acoustic guitar and banjo, Marcus Mumford’s vocals poignantly sing of the struggle between reason and emotion.

It’s a perfect song to listen to in February, as winter draws to a close—highly recommended for those who face both anticipation and anxiety for the new season.

Cold To See ClearNada Surf

When it comes to classic songs for February, I can’t forget Nada Surf’s “Cold To See Clear.” Not only was the track released in February, but its musicality exudes a sense of chill and cold, and the lyrics are sprinkled with wintry imagery.

The melody is catchy and easy to remember—you’ll find yourself humming it in no time—yet it has a dreamy quality that sets it apart from a simple pop song.

Listening to it again can bring back the cold and bustle of February while offering a fresh sense of wonder.

Be sure to give “Cold To See Clear” a listen and enjoy the seasonal atmosphere.
