Western songs to listen to in winter: heart-touching winter songs

Thank God It’s ChristmasQueen

Queen – Thank God It’s Christmas (Official Lyric Video)

Even among Queen fans, I think many people surprisingly don’t know this song.

However, in terms of quality, it’s every bit the equal of their famous, signature tracks.

It wouldn’t be strange if it were known as a winter staple, so I highly recommend it! I’ve heard the song was written by guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor.

It seems Freddie had overcome all kinds of difficulties up to this point.

Freddie, who was gay and passed away from AIDS, likely experienced a great deal of anguish in exchange for his extraordinary talent.

In this song, you can almost hear his gratitude for life itself.

Pkease Come Home for ChristmasThe Eagles

Eagles – Please Come Home For Christmas (Official Audio)

This is a Christmas song with a melody and lyrics that evoke the chill of winter and a deep sense of loneliness.

The Eagles’ cover preserves the bluesy atmosphere of Charles Brown’s original while blending it with their signature soft rock sound.

Released as a single in November 1978, the track peaked at No.

18 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Its heartfelt lyrics about the earnest desire to spend Christmas with a loved one have resonated with many, and it continues to be cherished as a winter classic.

It’s a must-listen for anyone separated from someone important or feeling lonely during the holidays.

Sweater WeatherThe Neighbourhood

The Neighbourhood – Sweater Weather (Official Video)

Sweater Weather is a song you’ll want to listen to on a cold winter day.

It’s a track by the rock band The Neighbourhood, released as the lead single from their debut album I Love You.

Sung from a male perspective, the song depicts feeling a loved one’s body warmth on a chilly day.

It’s a thoroughly romantic love song, but if you dig deeper into the lyrics, other interpretations begin to emerge.

What kind of relationship between the two people is really being portrayed? Let your imagination roam.

The A TeamEd Sheeran

Ed Sheeran – The A Team [Official Music Video]

Ed Sheeran is a globally popular singer-songwriter and an extremely popular artist in Japan as well.

His song “The A Team” is included on his 2011 album “+ (Plus).” If you just listen to the melody, it sounds like a refreshing love song, but in fact it’s a very dark piece themed around a prostitute whose life is falling apart.

The lyrics’ darkness stands out, but the melody itself is very gentle, so I think it’s perfect for a winter drive.

WintertimeNorah Jones

Norah Jones – Wintertime (Audio)

“Wintertime” is a song by American jazz singer Norah Jones, released digitally in 2018.

It’s a collaboration with Jeff Tweedy of the American alternative rock band Wilco, and his son Spencer Tweedy also plays on the track.

With Norah’s vocals and piano at the forefront, the gentle sound makes it perfect for listening in a warm room on a cold winter day—sure to put you in a wonderful mood.

No Ordinary LoveSade

Sade – No Ordinary Love – Official – 1992

Sade is a British rock band formed in 1984.

This song is from their 1992 album Love Deluxe, and its title, No Ordinary Love, translates to “a love that isn’t ordinary.” When you think of winter events, Christmas and lovey-dovey couples come to mind, but this song evokes a much deeper, more profound kind of winter.

Its overall quiet tone and even-keeled mood, if anything, create a taut, almost chilling tension.

Speed Of SoundColdplay

Coldplay – Speed Of Sound (Official Video)

This is a mellow track from Coldplay’s 2005 album X&Y.

Don’t the beautiful falsetto and melody evoke a quiet winter landscape? It also gives me a sense of something vast and majestic in nature.

It’s a comfortable song to listen to, one that makes me feel like something wonderful might blossom between you and me, or in our future.

Winter can be cold and make our spirits sink, but try listening to a heartwarming song like this one.
