“Cold” by Crossfade, Sunday, December 17, 2023 + Winter Songs, Pt. 1 Playlist

Crossfade formed in Columbia, South Carolina, in 1991 under the name The Nothing. Later, in 2000, the band changed their name to Sugardaddy Superstar, which fortunately, changed to Crossfade in 2002, just before the band started getting vetted by record labels. The band is best known for their #2 Modern Rock hit, “Cold,” which, according to lead singer Ed Sloan, was about how he thought that he was perceived by people who he couldn’t keep in touch with. He told SongFacts.com, “I wrote that song after neglecting a lot of my friends, family and loved ones because of my music. Which wound up paying off, but I lost some friends because of all the time that I devoted to that record.” These days the weather is also getting cold, and I seem to have caught a cold. The last thing I want to do is to catch up with old friends and acquaintances. Today, I offer a playlist that hopefully cuts through the cold with a Winter playlist. I hope you enjoy it!
