Ministry of The Fence steps into the festive season with a sideways glance and a bruised heart on โDyslexus (I donโt want to sleep alone this Christmas),โ released November 28, 2025, from London, England. This isnโt another shiny, sugar-coated holiday anthem. Created in collaboration with Jane, who had long dreamed of making a Christmas song, the track sets out to offer something new for listeners exhausted by the same recycled cheer. Instead of pretending the holidays are universally joyful, Ministry of The Fence lean into the emotional contradiction of the season, where upbeat surfaces often hide loneliness underneath.
โDyslexus (I donโt want to sleep alone this Christmas)โ opens with mesmerizing strings that swell dramatically as hard-hitting beats rush in, creating a cinematic lift. Just as you settle into that brightness, the mood pivots. A high, husky voice enters, singing slowly and intimately. The music seems to hold its breath around her, giving space for the emotion to land. Piano notes begin to fall gently, sparse and deliberate, while the strings trail behind with a deep, aching richness.
As the song builds, the contrast becomes its strongest weapon. The production toys with expectation, letting warmth and melancholy exist side by side. When the beats return, they underline the sadness. The chorus arrives with her soaring, full of longing and desperation, as she sings of desiring companionship this Christmas.
What makes the track resonate is how honest it feels. The melody comes to capture how the holidays can amplify absence as much as connection.
Ministry of The Fence succeed in creating a modern, emotionally layered, and relatableย Christmas song for anyone whoโs ever smiled through December while feeling something crack underneath. Listen to โDyslexus (I donโt want to sleep alone this Christmas)โ on Spotify.
