A wrinkle on an old Soulhitter song in 3/4 with a second guitar line and bass. This is a song that's being considered for inclusion on the "EP"I'll be working on in the beginning of June of 2011.

The music of Cold the Winter, both old and new
Cold the Winter was the moniker I used for the songs that I've written and rearranged over the years. In 2019, I recorded a six-song EP titled "Skylines and the Horizons" with the help of my friends JD and Matt. Skylines was the culmination of a journey that started in 2011, took strides forward in 2017, and was finalized over the course of 2018 and 2019. As of 2024, Cold the Winter has taken a backseat to KCWM, a moniker I've released three albums, eight singles. It is likely that any future Cold the Winter songs will be released under the KCWM banner.

Story behind the song
"A Child's Love" has changed over the years. I do have a 4/4 version that's a bit different than this version...slow and more depressing. While this version is what I'd consider to be stripped down, there's more going on in it than in the original version. My intention in writing about an abandoned child is not to paint the situation with a broad brush, rather to address a very specific situation...something that is unfortunately common. While this might be my own subconscious' way of working through forgiveness issues I might have with my parents, I do not look back on my childhood in a bitter light. All guitars and vocals were recorded using a Blue Snowball USB Condenser mic. The bass was recorded direct to a Alesis MultiMix8 Firewire. I intended to record the electric guitar with a mic'd amp, but forgot to change the input from the Snowball to the mixing board. Instruments used: Rhythm Guitars - Takamine F360S Guitar 2 and LoLead - 2000 Fender Roadhouse Strat w/ 9's Bass - 90's Fernandes Jazz Bass Amp used: Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue
Lyrics
Just another man with just another day With one life to live, another debt to pay Never saw it coming and was quick to look away His child grew without him, he never heard her say I love you daddy for the things you'll never do When you didn't know me, I was missing you When you were asked of me, you'd reply who If I could have one wish, I'd wish to know you She saw him as he breathed his final air He began to cry as she saw him lying there Neither dreamed there would be a day A day he saw her grown or heard her say Chorus With her words, he died, his past disarmed Breathed the final breath there within her arms Tears filled her eyes as he died with a smile He'd finally felt/knew the love of his only child
