I am somewhat ashamed to say, I just came across this one recently and am kind of sad I didn’t sooner. Cage the Elephant’s “Cold Cold Cold” is the perfect song to kick off the winter season, especially one where COVID lockdowns are keeping us all in and making us all feel a little on edge about what’s to come.
The song brings us a story of a person struggling with themselves, unable to feel with a heart “cold as ice” and needing assistance. Heavy tambourine, shaker, and electric guitar come together to fully embody and emulate songs from the late ’60s. In fact, if you’re a fan of The Rolling Stones, you will probably love this song. Lead singer, Matt Shultz’s voice sounds eerily similar to Mick Jagger in it!
Take a listen and let me know, is it not the perfect song for the soundtrack of 2020?
