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

Something Just Like ThisThe Chainsmokers & Coldplay

The Chainsmokers & Coldplay – Something Just Like This (Official Lyric Video)

A song that focuses on the mismatch between lovers’ ideals and asks what kind of person you truly want to be.

The boyfriend is still clinging to his childhood admiration for superheroes.

Meanwhile, the girlfriend just wants a partner who stays by her side and treats her kindly.

She’s a bit cool toward him, who’s still influenced by his childhood dreams.

In the end, he lets go of those childish dreams and resolves to become the person she’s hoping for.

Ariana Grande – thank u, next (Official Video)

As the title suggests, it carries a powerful message: “Thanks for everything up to now—I’m moving on!” Singing that “the encounters I’ve had until now made me who I am,” she expresses gratitude to the men she’s dated so far, even naming her exes and describing what they were like.

She also sings, “This song will probably be a big hit!” It’s bright and uplifting! Since a woman in a Santa outfit appears, they might also be aiming for a seasonal song.

Strawberry Fields ForeverThe Beatles

Strawberry Fields Forever (Remastered 2009)

This song is one of the Beatles’ classics, released in February 1967.

Back then it was on vinyl, and I picture listening to it on a record player in a warm room in winter.

The striking motif of “Strawberry Fields” refers to a Salvation Army children’s home on the outskirts of Liverpool, near where John played as a child.

It was a somewhat run-down place, yet for some reason he’s drawn to go there—that sentimental feeling seems very wintry to me.

Listening to a song like that in a cozy, warm room brings a sense of happiness, or maybe relief.

The ending of the track is fascinating too, so be sure to listen all the way through.

Alicia Keys – Little Drummer Girl Remixed [Audio]

Here’s one Alicia Keys song that’s perfect for winter listening.

It’s a track from her 2006 album “Christmas Story.” The somber opening piano and Alicia’s spoken intro let us know this isn’t a bubbly Christmas song.

It’s a moody, chic piece for the winter season.

Take your time and listen, savoring Alicia’s beautiful voice.
