Songs that feel like Spirited (2022)
A high-gloss, cynical showbiz machine colliding with existential panic, forced holiday cheer, and deep-seated regret.
- Welcome to My Life by Simple Plan: Channels the heavy, defensive cynicism of someone whose entire existence is a curated performance.
- New York Minute by Don Henley: Captures the relentless, high-stakes pressure of corporate Manhattan where lives can unravel in an instant.
- Ghost by Ella Henderson: Reflects the lingering haunt of past choices and the emotional weight of unfinished business.
- Chandelier by Sia: The ultimate anthem for masking profound inner panic and personal collapse behind manic, high-flying spectacle.
- Nothing by The Script: Speaks directly to the hollow ache of lost love and the late-night hangover of regret.
- Fix You by Coldplay: Matches the earnest, slightly melodramatic push toward healing a broken soul and making things right.
- Liability by Lorde: A stripped-down, brutally honest look at feeling fundamentally unlovable and burdensome to others.
- Merry Christmas by Ed Sheeran: Brings the bombastic, slightly overwhelming, inescapable cheer of modern holiday commercialism.
