Song Description

A song inspired by folk and soul, in the vein of the Lumineer's "Hey Ho", this song is about a man's journey to discover himself in a big city. An epic song with a powerful country stomp and souring female background vocals.

Lyrics

D to F/D the entire time, then to G for the chorus
Bridge is Em G x2, then A

On down past the schoolyard
Familiar part of town
There at what once was a battleground
The hardest lessons around

Strange now just a shadow
A lifeless figure somehow
The things I thought I'd always remember
Seem so different now

oooh oooh
Cold December
oooh oooh
Cold December

Three thousand miles before I
Call New York my home
Staring down familiar crossroads
Alone determined and proud

oooh oooh
Cold December
oooh oooh
Cold December

As they say
Nothings meant to hold
There's more in life there much more to learn
Beneath raindrops
I carry on my back everything i own
Bridges were burned but soon I hope
They might understand
When I come back
Home

The ones I love wont be forgotten
In some way i do this for them
I'll always fall on fonder memories
But the future comes so soon

oooh oooh
Cold December
oooh oooh
