Tuesday Tunes: The 25 best songs of 2025
Listed below are my 25 favorite songs of 2025. Hope you get a chance to listen and enjoy them. Nine (9) of the 25 songs are by bands from Ireland and 20 of the 25 songs are by women or bands with female lead singers.
*Three songs from the list below are tremendous in their advocacy. “True Believer” raises important questions about racism and religious hypocrisy, particularly in the American South, “Lesbian of the Year” celebrates one’s ability to truly be themselves, and “Love of Country” is a remarkable track that decries nationalism across the globe. All three songs remind us of how important music is in championing causes that promote peace, love, and understanding among all residents of the Earth.
Peace!

In conjunction with release of the song “Love of Country,” by the band The Murder Capital, from Dublin, Ireland they released the following statement:
“‘Love Of Country’ is a song about the dark side of patriotism and nationalism, and what they become when they are warped and weaponised. Across the world, we are seeing hatred of ‘other’ spreading like a disease. No claiming of land today is more barbaric than the ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.
In the face of, and beyond such clear acts of evil, it is more vital than ever to cherish the richness of our diverse communities and the power of human connection. We must stand firm against the rise of nationalist ideologies and speak up for those whose worlds are being torn apart by hatred and violence.
We are, and always will be made stronger by our compassion.”
