Hayes Warner “Worst Time of Year”

Hayes Warner’s “Worst Time of Year” is the angsty anti-holiday song of the year. The lyrics are biting and vivid in their imagery of a romance turned sour and the struggles of coping with the bitterness of feeling bad during a time when everyone else is supposed to be feeling joy. The family holiday photos in the “Worst Time of Year” where everyone’s dressed up in Christmas sweaters and Hayes is in all black really drives the track home.
