So Cold It Stings by From The Ether

[Mark Macaluso]

Hello Songstuff!

 

My name is Mark and I have previously shared music for critique and showcase from one of my projects called Paradise of Exiles here in the Songstuff community. 

 

I have recently started a new project called From The Ether and we released our debut song onto streaming services this week.  I am really proud of it and I wanted to share here and hopefully get some feedback from you guys. 

 

This song is called So Cold It Stings and I really hope you enjoy it!  Please let me know if you have any thoughts!

 

This is the spotify link but it is available on all major platforms for anyone who doesn't use spotify. 

 

Thanks so much!

I like the sound that surrounds the story but the drums give me a feeling that makes me lose my footing in the rhythm, I don't know if I understand myself, at least that's what I thought I heard on the demo, I don't have spotify. Could you share the lyric please, it would be great to understand the whole plot, maybe another type of drums... @Mark Macaluso

I initially provided the Spotify link but like I said, it is currently streaming on most services so if you use apple music or amazon music or youtube etc you can also listen on any of those.  

 

Here are the full lyrics:

 

You’d steal my fruit just to watch it spoil

A garden snake refusing to recoil

 

And all our plans have gone awry

there’s nothing left to do but cry or die or cry

 

You steal the air right from my lungs 

And, still, the next words off my tongue are “What else do you need?”

What else do you need?

 

Winter lover keep me warm 

Be my shelter from the storm

 

Winter Lover, early nights

Stolen seasons, dwindling lights

You take, I give

I hoped you might reward me with a spring

 

I hoped you might

Reward me with a spring

I hoped you might 

reward me with a spring

I hoped you might 

reward me with a spring

But still it’s frosty everything

 

I never in my life

Saw eyes more like a light

But I was so naive

 

Your feelings cold as ice 

Your lies cut like a knife

And I’m the one that bleeds

 

Your feelings cold as ice 

Your lies cut like a knife

And I’m the one that bleeds

 

Winter lover keep me warm 

Be my shelter from the storm

 

Winter Lover, early nights

Stolen seasons, dwindling lights

You take, I give

I hoped you might reward me with a spring

 

I hoped you might

Reward me with a spring

I hoped you might 

Reward me with a spring

I hoped you might 

Reward me with a spring

But you’re so cold it stings

 

But you’re so cold it stings

But you’re so cold it stings

But still it’s frosty everything

But you’re so cold it stings

You’re so cold it stings

Good job might do well if you can get traction on Spotify 

Got a pretty current sound 

 

Thank you, @buckoff.  It just went up on Spotify on Friday and it is our debut so we are still looking to build a following but we have submitted to a few playlist curators and so far we have gotten accepted to a couple so hopefully we can continue to add some placements.  fingers crossed.
