[2026] A Special Feature on Classic Western Songs to Listen to in December! (101–110)
Another Lonely ChristmasPrince

The legendary American musician Prince.
There aren’t many American musicians who are both widely known and genuinely recognized for their talent.
Prince is one of those rare, truly skilled artists, and his guitar technique is said to be exceptionally high even by global standards.
Although he often gives off a sharp, edgy impression, he actually released a Christmas song as well.
One of his few Christmas tracks is Another Lonely Christmas.
To put the lyrics simply, they portray the feelings of a guy spending Christmas alone (lol).
I Can See the Sun in Late DecemberRoberta Flack

This is a masterpiece that brilliantly captures the changing seasons and the hope within life.
Roberta Flack’s gentle yet powerful vocals resonate deeply with listeners.
Included on her 1975 album “Feel Like Makin’ Love,” this piece is notable for its expansive structure that runs nearly 13 minutes.
It’s a soulful ballad infused with jazz and R&B elements, marked by a dramatic progression.
Composed by Stevie Wonder, the song carries a message of finding hope even in difficult times.
When you need courage to face winter’s chill or life’s adversities, give it a listen.
Flack’s warm voice is sure to bring light to your heart.
Christmas In HollisRun-D.M.C.

Run-D.M.C., famous as pioneers who combined rock and hip-hop.
Back then, in the early days of hip-hop, when many releases—especially from the West Coast—had a tougher, thug vibe, the pop-leaning hip-hop of Run-D.M.C.
really stood out.
They may have also helped boost mainstream recognition.
Their classic Christmas song is “Christmas in Hollis.” Highly recommended for anyone who wants to hear cheerful, pop-infused hip-hop!
Angel By The WingsSia

A track made memorable by Sia’s vocals, which blend strength and gentleness.
Written specifically for the documentary film The Eagle Huntress, it was released in December 2016.
True to Sia’s style, it carries an inspiring message that resonates deeply with listeners.
Featuring a grand sound and powerful vocals, it reminds us of the importance of believing in our own strength.
With a warmth that seems to make you forget the winter chill, it will warm your heart even on cold days.
Highly recommended when you need the courage to face challenges.
GoodByeSpice Girls

When it comes to winter songs by the Spice Girls, I’d say it’s “Goodbye,” which sings about parting with a lover.
I think many people still love this song even now.
It’s a truly wonderful ballad.
You could say it’s a song that heals a wounded heart.
