I like this ...very haunting

Suits your voice really well AJ , this is the kind of song I think you do best and the lyrics paint a great picture.

Excellent job all around and a nice mix.

Thanks,

AJ,

I'm really happy with the final mix, thanks for letting me be a part of this tune.

AJ - I meant to comment on this earlier, it is very smooth and you've done justice to the emotive lyrics.  Of course I have to comment on the lyrics (nice job Z) because that is my area. 
BTW, it would be good to post them.

Anyway, nice job everyone.

Good Point Paul, so here's the lyrics.   AJ

OUT IN THE COLD
Lyrics Copyright 2006 by Z. Mulls

(v1)

She hasn't come home yet
The girls and I play in the snow
Temperature in the twenties
Like it was a December ago

Throwing snowballs and shrieking
Raising holy hell
We hardly notice
How far the mercury fell

(chorus)

Cause Out in the Cold
It's warm
The temperature's barely felt
Out in the cold
It's warm
Enough that a heart can melt
When you're with the ones you love
You can weather any storm
It's warm
Out in the cold

(v2)

Amy's halfway through fifth grade
Always got her face in a book
Kate, she'll find dinosaur bones
If she finds the right place to look

They grab my hat and start to laugh
Playing a game
Putting it on the snowman
And calling him by my name

(repeat chorus)

Cause Out in the Cold
It's warm
The temperature's barely feltOut in the cold
It's warm
Enough that a heart can melt
When you're with the ones you love
You can weather any storm
It's warm
Out in the cold



(bridge)

She comes home and apologizes for being late
Tells the girls to go inside and walks me to the gate
All of the tensions come flooding back
All the suspicions, and the lines of attack

(v3)

We review some arrangements
I leave before starting a spat
The snowman waves in the rearview
Standing guard with my hat

Every year they get older
New line are crossed
I wait out the winter
Fighting against the frost

(new chorus)

Out in the cold
Again
Surrendering by degrees
Out in the cold
Again
Enough that a heart can freeze
When you miss the ones you love
Every hour feels like ten
Again
Out in the cold

Fantastic song AJ. Everything sounds great. Love the lyrics. You seem to have captured the story very well with your music. Nice mood. I'm sure Z. will be happy with what you did. Really a great song. You produce some cool music.

Thanks Nick, for both the comments and the venue that makes this and other works available to everyone here.

I've said it before, but want to make sure AJ knows how much I appreciate his taking this on and making the words "sing" so well.  And everyone who contributed -- jaaman, JMan, bassic_soul, Davidinoz -- for their time, effort and talent.

As a lyricist, it's hard for me to jump in on this site, as once the words are done the musicians take over.   I'm happy to have been part of this project.

[Jman]

Wow.... I somehow missed this in the Finished works... Just grateful to take part with AJ and the rest of the talented group on this one. I really like this one and am glad the music and vocals were able to catch the "emotion" of Z's lyrics.  J

 very touching, and the right chemistry on this song. It is one of those songs that paints a vivid picture. Very close to home for some of us, I would guess. Thanks for letting me participate! You all did a great job on this one.
