Wow. Rip you heart out. Winten’s “Holidays” is a deeply emotional song about the emptiness one feels after a breakup. It is simple and direct, with these short little moments that, while you haven’t specifically lived them before… you have. The emotion conveyed by (Bridgette) Winten’s voice is perfection, both surgical and fragile in equal measure. She gets in there… it is spooky.
The holiday connection comes in the last verse:
And do you remember two days before Christmas?
Houses were glowing like they knew things
But you don’t live there anymore
I’ll always be here and you’ll be somewhere.
Nobody gets out of this life without a few wounds along the way. This song captures this so, so well.
Bottom Line: This one is gonna get a few folks where it hurts.
