Christmas music? Bah humbug! Here are six songs that have been making my Holidays happy.
Rag’n’Bone Man Lovers In a Past Life (Acoustic) This song breaks me. It’s a haunting and beautiful song about longing for someone so deeply that can only be explained by having been lovers in another life. And he pours all his feels into it.
Machineheart Take It All OMG please tell me they are back. The band mysteriously broke up and, just as mysteriously, are back together. They’ve released two songs since May, and I pray more are coming. I love this band.
Lauren Mayberry Crocodile Tears My Girl Lauren from the Scottish electro-pop band Chvrches is tired of being the nice girl in the boys band. From her excellent solo album, she wants men to do the crying while she laughs to a soundtrack of earwormy 80s synths.
Lady Gaga Disease This hits so [fundamentally] hard, I don’t know whether to dance uncontrollably or run for cover.
Adam Lambert Don’t Care Much. This is from his current rave-reviewed performance on Broadway in Cabaret. It. Is. Stunning.
Biig Piig Decimal All four singles already released from her February 2025 debut album are catchy in their own way, but the one that grabs me is this.
