I read an article in the Sunday paper entitled 'Love In A Cold Climate' ...
Written in 2011 and the original version appearing under the Wanman & Floyd banner on 'Light Side Of The Dark'. This new version features Hector Castillo on guitars and Tony on Bass/Vocals/Drums. It was nice to take a song out of the archives after over ten years and revisit it, particularly to have the first ever recording of Tony and Hector.
I guess the main reason this one got picked is because although Love If I Could never made it to the live set the riff sorta tagged onto Light & Shade which Hector and I played live numerous times ... I always loved how we interacted on it ...
lyrics
LOVE IF I COULD
I’d love if I could
Ain’t that a shame
To have a cold heart
Take all the blame
I’d love if I could
Ain’t that some hope
Guess I loss that Feeling
I’m emotionally broke
I’m just so worn out
Tired and wasted
Fed up with the world
Hey, I never faced it
I need to get away
Have some time alone
I might find some peace
When I’m on my own
On my own.
I don’t want to talk
I just want to see
What the world feels
When it looks at me
Might take an easy route
Find some way
Gotta turn off the brain
Have a quiet day
A quiet day.
