Theoretically, the first line of each verse is a Phrygian sequence. That minor Am enabled me to do a ad lib found in ‘Best Part’ with HER and Daniel Caesar. Then, a variation of the Andalusian cadence which begins on the I instead of the b7. Glad I could finally come up with a nice melody over that. The piano is playing a Kenny Barron voicing so m9(11). As Paul Mac, would say, sounds like an expensive chord.  For the chorus, there is an artificial harp playing a harp arpeggio.Some of the piano arpeggios in the chorus play arpeggios that sound like ‘Sadness & Sorrow’ by Toshiro Masuda. There’s also a run in there that reminds me of ‘November Rain’.   Then, on the instrumental section, the guitar plays dorian followed by Phrygian dominant. Guitars/piano/bass were done in under 4 takes  so when the guitar solo petered out I filled in the blank with other instruments and a ‘burning pad’ effect superimposed on the 5th degree. . Bit of funk guitar for verse. For the last 2 choruses there are 2 separate melodies for the backing vocals so that’s pretty fun sounding. Did take 13 hours but that extra hour was spent trying to find an rnb voice. It did come naturally for ‘I see you undress.’ Basically I added a bit of rasp to my head voice for the chorus and ended up with something that sounded a bit like Macy Gray or Doja Cat. And coo the shit out of it. It’s my sex kitten voice. 

On this cold cold storm.
I sever my fears.
Let the tides wash over me and roll back the years.
If I was bold,  (which I am)
I’d ask you to do the same for me
To judge as you see fit
Oh the magistrates on his knees
On this cold cold storm.
I see you undress your clothes
So slow it makes the night old
I wish that we could take it slow,
A little longer.

Cry, till you bleed.      (The word bleed. It’s a Skunk Annie thing)
And no else, and no else can do it for you.
No self made lies no open wounds
No falling sands can free your mind
I needed to hear what you have to say
To let you break free of chains
Cos I’m with you. I’m with you. 

On this cold cold storm. 
I believe that everything.
I believe that everything will pass.
So hot it’s sober, and I can’t and I won’t
And I’ll taste it all, before I give up.
On this cold cold storm
I see you undress your clothes
So intimate that we grow
Hotter than the warmth of July.  (Stevie Wonder reference)

Lyrically it’s ‘I’m with you’ because I don’t love you. I don’t know you. I’ve said ‘I want you’ in another song before. I’m with you is very supportive. The sea and swimming. I know. Not everyone’s favorite pastime but I do have a lifeguard certification which lasted for 1 year. I think everyone who knew how to swim passes that test and you’d be surprised that there were 4 people in the class in Australia who did not know how to swim. I would absolutely have had a fun time being a lifeguard and blasting “Duuuuuuuuuuuuu”- David Hasselhoff. 
If you’re into the soundscape for the middle section of the song you should check out ‘The End is the Beginning’ by The Radiance. My choir mate Miranda’s project. I finished that part and thought that it reminded me of it. There was a time in choir when British guy just said, “Nah it's just pipe dreams.” Skippy, the singer of One Hung Low and a great singer who we all looked up to replied, “No I’m gonna be a rock star.” Anna, our head of choir smirked. I was standing in the middle of both of them and that also was my stance. But, I’ve decided that I’m going to use my ‘father’ hypothesis. So, if I was a father which baby would I rather have. I’d pick Skippy all day every day. He might be ODing on hope but at least he has hope. I wouldn’t call him wanting to be a rock star dumb either as maybe he was picked on in high school or something. If you’re wondering who was the most depressed person at the room in the time it was not the British guy. It was probably me. I was kinda feeling like Bob Dylan at We Are the World.  I just wanted to say thank you to Anna.

They need a xolo for spiritual guidance 
Cause their ancestors stole everything from your  parents 
Another guy blaming the poor  
Family inheritance 
Riches countries bomb the poor 


Red-handed caught I plead the 5th 
What’s the diff not versed in Legalese Who to kid 
Son Immigrants trying to fit 
Without harming my kids
 or the ones that come from border 
what the difference 


Came from the land of spring 
From that land I bring
Messages of peace I sing 
For my people and others 
Damn damn made it well 
other people can tell
my mind never dwells
Tranquility and honor 

Did you learn all the facts 
the bad acts the pact rats 
Stop asking that's just
wack and sad 

Did you learn the rules Optus
Records Groove cool 
on loop the old school 
and new one 

Or did you took the class 
Last place where spazz facts 
details bypass 
Where you can learn from them

Do you go outside 
The lies dies in your eyes
Explain the times go by 
And you complain about it 


They need a xolo 
They need spiritual guidance from a xolo

Cold Foundation Collective was founded by Humeberto.eme and Visitor in 2016. What started as a name to attach to all of their releases, has now turned into a fully realized DIY think tank for all of their creative endeavors.
With a strong focus on self reliance, and a total freedom of expression, Cold Foundation was set up to be entirely self sustaining and creator funded. This means that any and all products that you see on this page were crafted and cared for by the artists themselves. Whether it’s the album art, the music, the merchandise, the web presence, or anything else, it was all done in house. Outsourcing is the devil.
The collective firmly encourages any and all types of creatives to work together in this sense, and will always be taking open submissions. The goal is to run as a finely tuned machine that can survive the ever changing climate of the arts as an industry, and outside influence is always welcome, so long as it is championed by the same values and beliefs.
This page will be where the collective lives in perpetuity. Any questions, concerns, thoughts, business opportunities, big name soda sponsorships, or anything of the like will be handled through this page, as well as the e-mail that is listed in the contact tab. There will always be ears and eyes for any artist that feels tethered to this philosophy here at Cold Foundation. Love love ya’ll.
