about

Cold Morning is a song about loss and how time moves on for everyone else but you just feel stuck in that mourning for years. It was a very bleak time for me after I lost my Dad, I was working super early mornings at Starbucks and this probably manifested its self on an early winter walk to work. This was the first song I wrote years after he passed, my confidence was pretty knocked, so I kept it close to my chest for a while. One night after a few beers I played it to a friend on his rooftop in Brooklyn and he was really encouraging so I figured it couldn’t have been too bad and started to write some more.

lyrics

Cold morning, you know I’ve gotta work so hard
You know I’ve got a funny feeling about where you are
Cold morning, those days they feel like years ago
Watching as the rally cars slip off the road

And we wait for the summer, but we brace for the rain
And we try to remember, though we try it always fades
And I’m just getting older, know this feeling won’t unwind
I’m fighting against time - it’s always on my mind

Cold morning, I’ve been trying to find the sun
Living under clouds in August weights a tonne
The days dawning and I know you have to leave
Always feel you with me passing through the trees

And we wait for the summer, but we brace for the rain
And we try to remember, though we try it always fades
And I’m just getting older, know this feeling won’t unwind
I’m fighting against time, I’m fighting against time
It’s always on my mind
