about

‘Cold’ is the second single release from the debut LP, ‘Safe from Me’ (due out on 20th Nov ’20). Incredibly refined, ‘Cold’ examines the fears that come with entering a relationship – and it’s a threat that can be hear in the pensive, almost creeping percussion.

“’Cold’ is song is all about deciding how much of myself to give away – what to tell or not tell. It’s also about self-doubt and finding it almost impossible to land on a decision and stick to it. About losing patience with myself around this and hoping the other person won’t lose patience in the same way,” Fell explains.

lyrics

I wondered why you didn’t ask me more
But I’d hate for you to dwell upon the details
When people grow I find it hard to feel secure
Am I going the wrong way? And am I headed there alone?

And I can’t find the answers for myself
It’s easier to help somebody else

Good God, please
Good God, be kind to me

I wrote two notes – one what I did, one what you knew
To help me to decide which one to give you
Little secrets kept within pale yellow lines
Little secrets of mine, of mine, of mine, of mine

And I can’t find the answers for myself
It’s easier to help somebody else

Good God, please
Good God, hold hope for me
Good God, please
Good God, be warm to me
Be warm to me
When I am cold
Cold

And I can’t find the answers for myself
It’s easier to help somebody else
