The stress of the holidays is something that most people feel.

The song sets the holiday setting by opening with the line, “I had nothing to say on Christmas Day/ When you threw all your clothes in the snow/ When you burnt your hair, knocked over chairs/ I just tried to stay out of your way.” “So Much Wine,” follows the story of someone with a loved one, whether a partner or family member, who is struggling with alcoholism/addiction. In her cover, Bridgers opts for just her guitar, the fiddle and whistling, which of course coincides with her delicate vocals.īridgers’ has never been one for the traditional holiday song. The original song is highlighted by its use of the banjo, guitar and harmonica. While Bridgers has experimented with folk sounds in her music previously, this cover sounds more like her known style, simple guitar strumming with more significant vocals. However, Bridgers’ cover takes on a different genre than the original song. The original song had been released by husband-wife duo The Handsome Family on their 2000 album “In The Air.” Ironically enough, Bridgers’ cover features backup vocals from her fiance, actor Paul Mescal.
