Phoebe Bridgers, host of Saddest Factory Radio on SiriusXMU and an opener for Taylor Swift’s 2023 The Eras Tour, just dropped her annual Christmas cover. This year, the chosen song is “So Much Wine,” originally released by The Handsome Family in 2000.
Produced by Bridgers, Tony Berg and Ethan Gruska, the cover of “So Much Wine” features Marshall Vore (Bridgers’ Saddest Factory Radio co-host), Harrison Whitford, Sebastian Steinberg, Paul Mescal and Andrew Bird.

Proceeds from the track, which is for sale on Bandcamp, will go to the Los Angeles LGBT Center, one of the few federally qualified health centers with providers who specialize in substance abuse treatment for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people and people living with HIV. The world’s largest LGBT nonprofit, The Center assists tens of thousands of LGBTQ+ people each month with vital and life-saving services, including youth and senior housing, legal assistance, and affirming, life-saving healthcare.
Bridgers’ previously shared charitable Christmas covers include “Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas,” “If We Make It Through December,” “Christmas Song” and more.
I had nothing to say on Christmas day
When you threw all your clothes in the snow
When you burnt your hair, and you knocked over chairs
I just tried to stay out of your way
But when you fell asleep
With blood on your teeth, I just got in my car and drove away
Listen to me, butterfly
There’s only so much wine
That you can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
Where the state highway starts, I stop my car
I get out, to stare up at the stars
And as meteors die
And shout across the sky
I just stop about your sad and shining eyes
And I went back for my clothes, when the sun finally rose
Oh, but you were still passed out on the floor
Listen to me, butterfly
There’s only so much wine
That you can drink in one life
But it will never be enough
To save you from the bottom of your glass
