I've written previously about how much Wolf Alice's song, "White Horses," appeals to me. After going back to the band's "Saturday Night Live UK" performance and studio version many times over the past two months, I'm retroactively declaring it my favorite song of 2025. In addition to the reasons I cited in my previous post, I also admire the central point of the lyrics. I'm extremely fortunate to have a great family. Not everyone is that lucky, however, and in those cases, it should be their "choice to choose who (they) embrace as family," as the lyrics decree. That subject matter isn't typical of driving indie rock, but it works to great effect in "White Horses."
