[2026 Edition] A Compilation of English-Language Love Songs to Listen to in Winter (101–110)
The Hounds of WinterSting
Sting, the British musician who rose to fame with The Police and has remained internationally popular as a solo artist.
When it comes to his love songs, many people probably imagine not catchy, sugary tunes but rather sophisticated melodies paired with thought-provoking, profound messages.
“The Hounds of Winter” is no exception—it embodies those traits, resulting in a breakup song distinguished by its lyrical, evocative lines.
It’s recommended for those who enjoy a genuine heartbreak song that makes the winter cold feel even sharper.
CARAVAN OF LOVEThe House Martins
Originally an R&B track released in 1985 by Isley-Jasper-Isley.
This version by the British indie band The Housemartins was released in 1986.
It became a hit across Europe, reaching No.
1 on the charts in the UK, Ireland, and Sweden.
Sweater WeatherThe Neighbourhood
The Neighborhood is a popular California band that, while rooted in alternative rock, blends a variety of genres—R&B, soul, hip-hop, and more—through a post-2010s sensibility to create a unique sound.
For many, the group immediately brings to mind “Sweater Weather,” the lead single from their debut album I Love You.
The song masterfully contrasts a UK rock-style approach reminiscent of Coldplay or Radiohead with a distinctly Californian sense of openness in its melodies, and it became a massive hit worldwide.
The “sweater” is likely a metaphor, but the lyrics invite multiple interpretations—from a passionate love song to infidelity or even simple fantasy—so be sure to pay attention to them!
Starry EyesThe Weeknd
Starting his career in 2010, The Weeknd is a Canadian singer-songwriter and music producer.
His sound is characterized by a mysterious, sensual voice and lyrics, a style often described as alternative R&B.
The title “Starry Eyes” refers to “sparkling, dreamy eyes,” and can also imply being unrealistic or overly optimistic.
This track, which seems to carry a quiet sense of helplessness, might pair perfectly with a hushed Christmas Eve.
Why not immerse yourself in its gently accumulating, snow-like sound and vocals?
Last ChristmasWham!
The song “Last Christmas” is hugely popular in Japan as well.
It’s one you’re sure to hear at least once every winter.
It was performed by the British duo Wham! and released in 1984.
It’s often taken to mean “the final Christmas,” but the correct interpretation is “last year’s Christmas.” As the title suggests, it’s a winter-themed piece and has become a classic Christmas song covered by many artists.
It might be fun to compare the covers with the original.
