Lydia Fairhall – “Winter Came”

Lydia Fairhall’s new single, “Winter Came”, marks a striking return after a two-year break, and you will fall in love with it because of how personal it is. The track is quiet but not empty, it has a meaning in every note. The guitar and gentle cello create this subtle tension, like you’re sitting still but aware that change is coming.

What impressed me most was the story behind it, Lydia talks about leaving a busy city life, moving back to her hometown in the bush, and writing this song as she was closing one chapter and beginning another, her writing style is rich and unique. That idea gives the song a grounded depth, it’s not just a track about winter, but about what happens when life slows down enough to make room for something new.

Knowing she’s now on a path to the Priesthood adds another layer; you can hear that sense of reflection and transition in the song. It’s a rare kind of honesty that makes you stop and listen without distraction. “Winter Came” is out now, and if you want to keep up with what Lydia does next in 2025, follow her on Instagram, Facebook, or Spotify.
