December by The Heartbroken

Written By Robert Hiscock

I’ve already outed myself as a fan of somewhat melancholy Christmas music and ‘December’ by The Heartbroken, well, it’s right up my alley.

Get more Newfoundland Christmas Music here, and check out the whole 2024 NL Music Advent Calendar.

Released in 2013 and featuring the mesmerizing voice of Damhnait Doyle, this song is a bittersweet reflection on the joy and nostalgia of Christmas—those cozy, happy memories that seem brighter in hindsight. But here’s the twist: the song weaves these warm feelings with the cold reality of a relationship’s end. Doyle delivers the line, “I’ll always have December and the memories we made,” and it feels like a quiet ache in your chest. It’s powerful. It’s sad. It’s beautiful.

So, if you’re in the mood for a little catharsis or just want a song that perfectly weaves the beauty and the melancholy of the holiday season, check out ‘December’.

Trust me, you’ll want to keep this one on repeat.
