This prompt came right on time for the big winter weather so many of us are feeling today and the weekend. It’s sleeting, snowing and so cold, in the single digits, with wind chills in the negatives.
I looked at some songs I knew with cold in the lyrics or title, but wasn’t inspired to post them again. I’d done them before. Then I looked at a list, and didn’t like those much either. So I then named a few bands to see if they had anything with ‘cold’, nope. Then I thought, hmmm, how about alternative songs. I found quite a few, and I liked this one a lot. I’ve heard of this band before and I liked how the video looked here, and the music and lyrics.
I read that it stayed a really long time on the charts, but never got to # 1. It sold a lot going platinum though. Read more of how he thought to write this song in the wiki link below.
The plot of the music video shows a man shackled to a large square stone carrying it through a swamp, while preachers and others look on. He is condemned to drown for infidelity. There are two women mourners in the audience, and you can imagine who they are to this man. Soon he falls into the swamp water and drowns.
“So Cold” , by Breaking Benjamin, is on their 2004 album, “We Are Not Alone”. It was written by Benjamin Burnley, and is on the Hollywood label. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So_Cold_(Breaking_Benjamin_song)
