JJ72 were a short-lived Irish band who released this from their 2000 self-titled debut album. In the song, the weather forecasters predictictions of snow appear to have been wrong. However, they got it right in 2025 as snow has been prevelent throughout Ireland so far:

I heard this version of The Only Way Is Up by Stornoway on RTE Radio 1 this morning. I was surprised to learn that the 1988 hit by Yazz was itself a cover of a 1980 song by Otis Clay. Seems like a great sentiment for 2025:

After work, I popped down to the local shopping centre. As I listened to this hymn, I saw the true meaning of Christmas: revellers in seasonal jumpers getting the bus into town to drink to excess; shoppers overspending. I almost teared up as the music played.
