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

Santa’s Coming For UsSia

Santa’s Coming for Us

Sia, the Australian singer-songwriter who gained worldwide popularity with “Chandelier.” Because she rose to fame in the 2010s, she is often mistaken for a younger singer, but she actually debuted in the late 1990s and has a mid-career-length track record.

Her song “Santa’s Coming For Us” is one of her well-known Christmas tracks, crafted as a love song to a romantic partner with a Christmas theme.

Let It GoDemi Lovato

Demi Lovato – Let It Go (from “Frozen”) (Official Video)

This is the English version of the theme song from the film Frozen, which was a big hit in Japan as well.

Since Takako Matsu’s version was also a major hit, opinions may be divided on which one people prefer, but the Western version conveys more clarity and dynamic contrast.

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.

Underneath the TreeKelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson – Underneath the Tree (Official Video)

A powerful Christmas love song.

It says that Christmas night is meaningless unless your lover is by your side holding you tight.

On a street corner filled with carols, the woman waits for her lover under the Christmas tree.

It’s a special night, so everyone wants to be with the one they love.

The lyrics are easy to relate to, and the powerful vocals will lift your spirits!

And Winter Came…Enya

And Winter Came…

This is a poetic ballad that overlays winter scenery with an inner landscape of the heart.

The protagonist’s bittersweet feelings as they remember a former lover under the moonlight are conveyed over a serene melody.

Included on Irish artist Enya’s 2008 album “And Winter Came…,” this piece stands out among the winter-themed works for its contemplative, introspective atmosphere.

The distinctive sense of weightless drift created by multi-layered vocals and long reverb is like snow floating in the winter night sky.

It’s a perfect song for spending a quiet evening alone or gently revisiting treasured memories.

Let It GoIdina Menzel

Idina Menzel – Let It Go (from Frozen) (Official Video)

This is a song from the film Frozen, which was a huge hit worldwide.

It’s sung by Idina Menzel, a Broadway star and Tony Award–winning actress, famous for playing Elsa in the American version.

The song is truly an anthem of self-liberation, boldly declaring the resolve to break free from what’s been holding you back and live as your true self.

Her powerful vocals alone are enough to stir your heart and make you itch to sing along! This classic, which won Best Original Song at the 86th Academy Awards, is perfect for karaoke.

If you let your emotions explode and sing it with all your heart—as if blowing away all your worries—you’ll feel absolutely amazing.

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.
