A Cold Wind Blows: The Album

The album was Produced, Arranged, Engineered, Mixed & Mastered by: Jeff Silverman at Palette (MSP) music • studio • productions, Mount Juliet / Nashville, TN. “A Cold Wind Blows” song was written by award winning Debra Lyn. 

About "A Cold Wind Blows" Album:

Like all staggeringly honest works of art, Debra Lyn’s new album A Cold Wind Blows (Palette Records) doesn’t impose ideas, opinions or viewpoints. Rather, it respectfully invites listeners to experience the vast complexities and stark, simple truths that shape our most intimate relationships, define our deepest emotions, and ultimately determine who we are…and who we aren’t.

Those who avail themselves of this unique invitation — which was five years in the making — will find themselves at the epicenter of a marriage rocked by infidelity and addiction, and travel on a gut-wrenching journey into the heart of “a good wife” besieged by pain, anger, helplessness, hate and loss.

And yet for all of the anguish, this tale is not a tragedy. Astonishingly, it is a universal anthem of unwavering courage and uncommon strength – which is the only strain of bravery that can face up to the ultimate question that emerges for so many husbands and wives when the cries caused by broken promises, shattered hearts and extinguished dreams finally fall silent: what does ‘till death do us part mean when the marriage dies, but the love goes on?

The answer to this question is meticulously and masterfully revealed through each track on the wings of a cold wind; sometimes in potent gusts, sometimes in gentle breezes, and always with unforgettable impact.

Debra Lyn - " A Cold Wind Blows" Album

Debra Lyn and I were honoured to be on the Rowdy Ron show tonight and had fun reminiscing along with letting everyone know about her new SOULGRASS Dolby Atmos release on Immersive Audio Album https://bit.ly/3pzzboM . The album project is featuring a dear friend of ours, the late Billy Ray Lathum. The long and short story will be on Debra's 12 page booklet. Billy played Banjo in the original Kentucky Colones, who were recently inducted into the Bluegrass Hall of Fame, including Billy Ray! We have currently submitted it in the Grammy's this year for Best Immersive, Historic and Album Notes. Fingers crossed again! :)

 Rowdy Ron is celebrated Rick's 73rd Birthday (on Aug 23rd). 73!!!!! And the guys rocks his sox off!! A good inspiration for us all slightly "vintage" young souls!

This show was also dedicated to help raise money for "Save Our Strays" There's still time to spread the love.

BLACK ROSE OF SHARON (ft Debra Lyn) Guardian

ASHES
Lyrics: Debra Lyn / Music: Jeff Silverman
DebraLynMusic (ASCAP) / So Look It Music (ASCAP)
© 2023
 
You lift me up – just to push me down
Oh, I can’t believe I used to worship your ground
You tell me lies just to watch me cry
And like a fool all I wonder is why
I don’t understand why you do me this way
Why I don’t leave or the reason I stay
 
CHORUS:
Ashes, ashes, burn this down
Ashes, ashes, no one will hear a sound
Ashes, ashes, you never will be found (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’, Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’)
Who’s sorry now (Goin’ Down)
 
VERSE 2:
I was a fool – oh from the start
I believed you when you said we’d never part
You were a dream come true even my friends agreed
I said I do; you put the chains on me
I lost my way, my friends, my family
You can’t see what I don’t want you to see
 
CHORUS:
Ashes, ashes, burn this down
Ashes, ashes, no one will hear a sound
Ashes, ashes, you never will be found (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’, Down, He’s Goin’)
Who’s sorry now (Goin’ Down)
 
LEAD:
 
VERSE 3:
I’m gaining strength (I gain my strength) – oh every day (every day)
And sooner or later (sooner or later) you won’t stand in my way (you’re not in my way)
I’ll bide my time till you’re not lookin’ behind
I see the light and freedom is mine
I ain’t got much, but I still got my pride
No way to live barely stayin’ alive.
 
CHORUS:
Ashes, ashes, burn this down
Ashes, ashes, no one will hear a sound
Ashes, ashes, you never will be found (Down, Down, Down)
Who’s sorry now (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’)
He’s Goin’ Down (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’)
In the ashes (Down, Down, Down, He’s Goin’, Ashes)
You Won’t Be Found (Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down)
Ashes, Ashes, (hes’ goin’ down)
Ashes Ashes
Ashes, Ashes
Ashes, Ashes

Lyrics:

Cat's In The Cradle
Harry & Sandy Chapin, Martin Ruminski

My child arrived just the other day.
He came to the world in the usual way,
But there were planes to catch, and bills to pay - He learned to walk while I was away.
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, And as he grew, he’d say,
"I'm gonna be like you, Dad.
Ya know, I'm gonna be like you."

And the Cat's in the Cradle, and the Silver Spoon, Little Boy Blue, and the Man  In  The  Moon  - "When ya comin’ home, Dad?" "I don't know when, But we'll get together then -
We're gonna have a good time then."

My son turned ten just the other day.
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on, let's play. Can ya teach me to throw?"  I said, "Not today 
I got a lot to do." He said, "That's O.K." And he walked away,
But his smile never dimmed and said, "I'm gonna be like him.
Ya know I'm gonna be like him.”

And the Cat's in the Cradle, and the Silver Spoon, Little Boy Blue, and the Man In The Moon -   "When ya comin' home, Dad?" "I don't know when, But we'll get together then -
We're gonna have a good time then."

Well. he came from college just the other day, So much like a man, I just had to  say,
"Son, I'm proud of you. Can you sit for awhile?" He shook his head, and he said with a smile,
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys. See ya later - can I have them, please?"

And the Cat's in the Cradle, and the Silver Spoon, Little Boy Blue, and the Man In The Moon -  "When ya comin' home, Son?" "I don't know when, But we'll get together then, Dad
We're gonna have a good time then."

Well, I've long since retired, my son's moved away; I called him up just the other day.
I said, “I'd like to see you, if you don't mind."
He said, "I'd love to Dad, if I could find the time - Ya see, my new job's a hassle,
And the kids have the flu,
But it's sure nice talkin' to you, Dad. It's been sure nice talkin' to you."

And as I hung up the phone, it occurred to me, He'd grown up just like me . . .
My boy was just like me . . .

And the Cat's in the Cradle, and the Silver Spoon, Little Boy Blue, and the Man In The Moon -  "When ya comin' home, Son?" "I don't know when, But we'll get together then, Dad.
Ya know, we’ll have a good time then."

PART 2 Ft. Jeff's Spatial Audio / Stereo comparison of Debra Lyn's "A COLD WIND BLOWS 2024"

PART 1 Ft. Debra Lyn's soon to be released single: CARRIED THE TORCH

INNOCENCE OF LOVE is one of my never-released artist songs, originally written and recorded in the early 80’s, now remastered and recently placed in the movie AVERAGE JOE (The Unwavering True Story), courtesy of GPS Songs. Within the first 10 minutes of the movie, this song plays a pivotal role, accompanying a tender scene portraying “love at first sight” between Joe (Eric Close) and Denise (Amy Acker) as children. The heartfelt track captures the innocence and excitement of their early bond, laying the foundation for a lifelong relationship tested by Joe’s unwavering stand for his beliefs. While the film centers around Joe’s fight for religious expression, it delivers a broader message that supports the rights of all religions, not just Christianity, making Average Joe a powerful exploration of faith, love, and the freedoms we all cherish.

I wrote the lyrics and co-wrote the music for this track with the renowned Mitchell Froom, whom I first met in the late ’70s at Sound City Studios. At the time, Mitchell was playing keyboards on David LaFlamme’s solo albums, while I was working on my own solo project with Bill Drescher. Over the years, Mitchell went on to produce the first three Crowded House albums and has worked with a stellar lineup of artists, including The Bangles, Los Lobos, The Corrs, Elvis Costello, Sheryl Crow, Suzanne Vega, and Paul McCartney.

This track is part of my upcoming collection, From The Vault II (A Collection of Works by Jeff Silverman), featuring more unreleased music from the same era. The first collection, From The Vault (A Collection of Works by Rick Springfield and Jeff Silverman), was released during 2010-2015 on Frontiers Records. 

INNOCENCE OF LOVE

Verse 1:

Where is the child inside this wall (inside these walls)
Where are the tears that never seem to fall
It’s easy to be hard without love at all (without you here at all)
Until you came back to me
Until you just made me see

Chorus:

We have the Innocence of love
We hold the Innocence of love
The simple words from the heart
The honesty that love starts
Lets not let the innocence ever part
From our love


Verse 2:

So lets get back to the basics tonight (tonight, tonight)
I feel it’s time for the time to be right, to show you
These moments together are as precious as life
We’re two hearts in a burnin’ glow
We’re two hearts young enough to know

Chorus:

We have the Innocence of love
We hold the Innocence of love
The simple words from the heart
The honesty that love starts
Lets not let the innocence ever part

Bridge:

It’s back to living with simplicity
Back to touchin’ each other so tenderly
That’s the way things should be

Chorus:

We have the Innocence of love
We hold the Innocence of love
The simple words from the heart
The honesty that love starts
Lets not let the innocence ever part

We have the Innocence of love
We hold the Innocence of love
We are the Innocence of love
We give the Innocence of love
We live the Innocence of love

Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine

Tell him to make me a cambric shirt
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Without no seams, nor fine needlework
And then he'll be a true love of mine

Have him wash it in yonder dry well
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Where ne'er a drop of water e'er fell
And then he'll be a true love of mine ...

Tell him to buy me an acre of land
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Between the salt water and the sea strand
And then he'll be a true love of mine ...
Tell him to reap it with a sickle of leather
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
And gather it all in a bunch of heather
And then he'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough Fair
Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme
Remember me to one who lives there
He once was a true love of mine

WALLFLOWER LYRICS:
V1A
I met this girl, she was kind of like a wallflower
Didn't seem to notice but she carried the world
She was down right beautiful but hid it really well
She was used to getting hurt

She had this inner little voice but she shut it right down
From the lies that put her on a merry go round

V1B
She was broken hearted  - with her back against the wall
But now she’s gettin’ ready - to be a woman standing tall

CH1 
She’s that wallflower
Something wild about her
Rising from the past let the rubble fall 
That beautiful you, hear the miracles call  
All ya gotta do is just keep on being you
Be that wallflower     

V2A
Now this big little girl is a little big woman
Who dared to keep believin’ dreamin’ on her own
She’s ridin’ on a prayer and a cloud made of heaven
And never lookin’ back alone

It’s not like looking for a grain of sand     
The answers always sitting in the palm of your hand

V2B
She had 10,000 hours  - in someone else’s shoes.
But now she’s singing country  - out of living the blues

CH2 / 3
She’s that wallflower
Something wild about her
Rising from the past rise above it all
2 – Each step closer to the miracles call  
3-  And then you’ll understand how you’re making me fall
All ya gotta do is just keep on being you
You’re my wallflower

BRIDGE  
I’ll hold your hand as your heart grows stronger
But just take your time , I can wait a little longer

TAG
My Wallflower
(Now that wallflower)
You’re my wallflower
(Is my wallflower)
My wallflower
(She's that wallflower)
You’re my wallflower
(My wallflower)

Well, I feel so good, everything is getting higher
You better take it easy ’cause the place is on fire
Been a hard day and I had so much to do
We made it baby, and it happened to you

And I’m so glad we made it, hey, hey, so glad we made it
You got to gimme some lovin’, gimme, gimme some lovin’
Gimme some lovin’, gimme, gimme some lovin’

You better take it easy ’cause the place is on fire
Been a hard day and nothing went too good
Now I’m gonna relax honey everybody should

You got to gimme some lovin’, gimme, gimme some lovin’
Gimme some lovin’, gimme, gimme some lovin’
Gimme some lovin’, gimme, gimme some lovin’
Gimme some lovin’, gimme, gimme some lovin’

SONG:
Words & Music: Debra Lyn/Jeff Silverman

(The Maids of Mitchelstown – Irish Traditional)

VERSE 1:
Cold, cold is the night no moon, no stars, blue midnight
Shadows dancin’ on the wall, deeper into you I fall
Dark, dark is my heart, broke and too afraid to start
to love again, to twist and bend, believe forever has no end
I try to find my way 

CHORUS: 
But, I just pull me down s I can’t break free – there’s no escape
I fall so far I drown without a breath for me to take
I pull me down under the ground
I pull me down

VERSE 2:
Gray, gray are my days, let this candle light my way
Light the darkness, calm my fears, hold me till they disappear
There’s no one for you but me, but I can’t let myself believe
I can’t run and I can’t hide when what I fear is here inside
I try to find my way

CHORUS:

WORKIN’ FOR THE MONEY 
Words & Music: Debra Lyn/Jeff Silverman
(Debra Lyn Music/SESAC, Palette Songs/SESAC © 2019)

CHORUS:
Hate this working for the money
Wanna keep staying up at night
Sleepin’ in like every day’s a Sunday 
Doin’ what I wanna ‘til the morning light
I wanna dance like I know just what I’m doin’
Damned if it’s a wrong or it’s a right
I wanna laugh so hard until I’m achin’
Smilin’ till my worries disappear out of sight

VERSE 1:
Every-day’s a Monday, seems like Tuesday takes too long
Wednesday’s just another day to keep me hanging on
Thursday’s one step closer to the life I’d like to find
Friday and the weekend’s mine to leave it all behind

CHORUS: 
Workin the Money, Workin the Money, Workin the Money 

VERSE 2:
Don’t wanna think of Monday till my Sunday’s come and gone
Starin’ at the ceiling, counting sheep just takes too long 
Happy on the outside – raging through this daily grind
Saying what they wanna hear until I lose my mind

CHORUS: 
Not Workin’ for the Money, Not Workin’ for the Money, Not Workin’ for the Money
 
CHORUS:
Nobody keepin’ track of anything I’m doin’
Never have to be there on time
Don’t care a damn about doin’ any pleasin’
Laughin’ to myself while I’m kissin’ goodbye!

Not Workin’ for the Money, Not Workin’ for the Money, Not Workin’ for the Money 

Working for the money, Not Workin’ for the Money, Not Workin’ for the Money
