Sade is a British rock band formed in 1984.

This song is from the 1992 album Love Deluxe, and its title, No Ordinary Love, translates to “a love that’s not ordinary.” When it comes to winter events, Christmas and a lovey-dovey image with a partner come to mind, but this song evokes a much deeper, more profound winter—a love song that feels truly deep.

Its overall quiet tone and steady mood, conversely, create a taut, almost piercing sense of tension.

In the United States, it reached No.

4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Adult Contemporary chart.
