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)

Crowded streets all cleared away, one by oneHollow heroes separate as they runYou’re so cold, keep your hand in mineWise men wonder while strong men die
Show me how it ends, it’s alrightShow me how defenseless you really areSatisfied and empty insideWell, that’s alright, let’s give this another try
If you find your family, don’t you cryIn this land of make believe, dead and dryYou’re so cold but you feel aliveLay your hands on me one last time
Show me how it ends, it’s alrightShow me how defenseless you really areSatisfied and empty insideWell, that’s alright, let’s give this another try
Show me how it ends, it’s alrightShow me how defenseless you really areSatisfied and empty insideWell, that’s alright, let’s give this another tryIt’s alright
It’s alright, it’s alrightIt’s alright, it’s alrightIt’s alright, it’s alrightIt’s alright, it’s alright

And here is what I’m calling a sequel to the first song.
I couldn’t get the video on here, but you can see it by clicking the link. The first one is with the band playing, with a featured singer also, and the second video link is just the lyrics.

… I’m blue and cold … from lyrics “Dear Agony”
***
I have nothing left to giveI have found the perfect endYou were made to make it hurtDisappear into the dirtCarry me to heaven’s armsLight the way and let me goTake the time to take my breathI will end where I began
And I will find the enemy within‘Cause I can feel it crawl beneath my skin
Dear agonyJust let go of meSuffer slowlyIs this the way it’s got to be?Dear agony
Suddenly, the lights go outLet forever drag me downI will fight for one last breathI will fight until the end
And I will find the enemy within‘Cause I can feel it crawl beneath my skin
Dear agonyJust let go of meSuffer slowlyIs this the way it’s got to be?Don’t bury meFaceless enemyI’m so sorryIs this the way it’s gotta be?Dear agony
Leave me aloneGod let me goI’m blue and coldBlack sky will burnLove pull me downHate lift me upJust turn aroundThere’s nothing left
Somewhere far beyond this worldI feel nothing anymore
Dear agonyJust let go of meSuffer slowlyIs this the way it’s got to be?Don’t bury meFaceless enemyI’m so sorryIs this the way it’s gotta be?Dear agony
I feel nothing anymore
