Right now, Bridgers is having a \u201cmoment\u201d &#8212; and is using it to make a difference, as well as some damn fine music. Proceeds from purchases of this cover of Merle Haggard\u2019s song will be <a href=\"https:\/\/pitchfork.com\/news\/phoebe-bridgers-covers-merle-haggard-if-we-make-it-through-december-listen\/\">donated<\/a> to Los Angeles\u2019 Downtown Women\u2019s Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. \u201cJosephine\u201d by Brandi Carlile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Josephine\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Iu86L4KM5Yk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This moody tune isn\u2019t about a person, but rather, a place &#8212; Josephine County, Oregon. Carlile said it was inspired by the scenery she and songwriter Tim Hanseroth saw while driving through its mountains and past its rivers and lakes. Those of us living through the pandemic amid cityscapes can appreciate wanting to see such sights again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. \u201cTake Care, New York\u201d by <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.danmills.net\/\"><strong>Dan Mills<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Take Care New York\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IewXFn3C574?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>On a somewhat similar theme as \u201cJosephine,\u201d Mills sings about the need to get away from the bustling city and into wide open spaces full of soft breezes and views of the moon. If you\u2019re able to indulge in a drive &#8212; or even a long walk &#8212; Mills\u2019 music makes for a pitch-perfect traveling companion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. \u201cRiver\u201d by Joni Mitchell<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Joni Mitchell - River\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3NH-ctddY9o?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Mitchell croons about the approach of Christmas in this famous tune, linking it forever to the holiday season. But its subject matter &#8212; regretting the loss of a lover &#8212; is timeless and universal, much like the song itself. If you need a good cry (we aren\u2019t judging if so), here\u2019s a solid place to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. \u201cFar Closer\u201d by MJ Cole<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MJ Cole - Far Closer\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IPfUJjDrScQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This instrumental offering of lilting strings paired with soft piano is great for playing while you\u2019re focusing as you work from home. It\u2019s also a fantastic soundtrack to letting your mind wander as you take a (probably much-needed) break.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. \u201cHome\u201d by <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/crandthenones.bandcamp.com\/\"><strong>CR and the Nones<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Home\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ETcCBTYf78M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll be nodding your head from the moment you press \u201cplay,\u201d as a strumming guitar and steady beat set the mood. You\u2019ll keep it up once the plaintive lead vocals kick in, joined by tight harmonies soon after. It\u2019s the perfect accompaniment for cooking yet another meal at home, or enjoying a glass of wine once clean-up is done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>8. \u201cSomething More\u201d by R\u00f3is\u00edn Murphy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"R\u00f3is\u00edn Murphy - Something More (Official Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I32kVCJ08nw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI want something more,\u201d sing a collection of strong voices in tight harmonies. Don\u2019t we all? This song, at least, delivers on that desire, as textured backgrounds and a thrumming bass line join the party. We can\u2019t go out on a Friday night, but this sets a, frankly, cool mood for a fun night at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>[Related: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/thestoryexchange.org\/9-great-podcasts-help-covid-crisis\/\"><em>9 Great Podcasts to Help Get You Through the Covid Crisis<\/em><\/a><em>]<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>9. \u201cGlory Box\u201d by Portishead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Glory Box\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c417rIku6Iw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This low-key bop from the famous English electronic act has appeared in scores &#8212; forgive the term &#8212; of television shows and movies. Despite its decidedly sexy vibe, created in large part by bassy techno backgrounds and breathy vocals, it\u2019s not a love song. Rather, it\u2019s a call for sexual equality. Empowerment needn\u2019t be catchy to catch on, but we suppose it doesn\u2019t hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>10. \u201cSomething\u201d by The Beatles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Beatles - Something\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/UelDrZ1aFeY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>How bad can one possibly feel while listening to The Beatles? This classic love song will have you forgetting about the bad stuff, even if only for a few minutes, while you jam out to the familiar lyrics and fun melody, all performed by one of history\u2019s greatest bands at one of their highest creative points. You can\u2019t go wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>11. \u201cFields of Gold\u201d by Eva Cassidy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Eva Cassidy - Fields of Gold\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9UVjjcOUJLE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This tune &#8212; a cover of the song made famous by Sting &#8212; is, simply put, a little bit of magic. Cassidy\u2019s smooth-as-silk vocals and the imagery of a sun-soaked field full of wispy barley plants blowing in the wind leaves us feeling equal parts calm and wistful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>12. \u201cForeign Lander\u201d by GQ<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GQ Sessions @ Liquid 5th Studios\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SsVBqMmXEQk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This Baltimore-based female singing quartet foregoes the more showy barbershop harmonies it\u2019s known for to turn out a deep, rich performance on a folk song about loving and missing. The song builds as it goes, taking listeners on a sonic journey along with the song\u2019s traveling protagonist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>13. \u201cHello\u201d by Adele<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Adele - Hello (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YQHsXMglC9A?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It might actually be a crime to compile down-tempo mood music and omit a tune by one of the queens of the style. (We\u2019ll check with our lawyers.) Nobody sings heartbreak like Adele &#8212; and few songs demand that you sing along with them quite like this one, either. The soaring chorus is perfect for belting out all of your frustrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>14. \u201cSomewhere Only We Know\u201d by Keane<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Keane - Somewhere Only We Know (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Oextk-If8HQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This British band\u2019s hit single has, like other entrants on this list, made its way into plenty of films and shows &#8212; you likely already know it from somewhere or other. Tom Chaplin\u2019s booming tenor voice is full of melancholy as the band wails through his nostalgia: for a place, for a person, for a feeling, for whatever it is the listener might be searching for in that moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>15. \u201cClose To You\u201d by The Carpenters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Carpenters - Close to you\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iFx-5PGLgb4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Karen Carpenter\u2019s voice is perfection &#8212; on this, and on everything ever released by The Carpenters. (Editor\u2019s Note: This writer might be biased.) Her soft, lilting alto voice glides perfectly through a gentle, simple love song. It\u2019s perfect for a slow dance, or at least a smile, on a cold evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>16. \u201cWinter\u201d by Tori Amos<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tori Amos - Winter (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_PDlGUdDF8Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as our list began with a winter song, so too shall it end.
