Where your word's become art, and your thought's become music

Steven Kubie/Maurice Blanco Collabo"Cold World"

Something I've been working on. Please record any ideas so I can hear your beautiful voice on the joint.

(Hook)
Bundle up
It’s a cold world front and backwards
Those you trust
Can end up stealing your laughter
From up above
Comes a small voice with an answer
It’s a stone cold cold world…It’s a stone cold cold world

(1st Verse)
You hustling
In and out of everyday
Can find no job
And bills is getting hard to pay
Relationships with friends begin to fade
And so does your faith
You kneel down to pray
You formulate your words to send on high
You hope someone is listening beyond the sky
Like a whisper in the wind comes your reply
It’s a stone cold cold world…It’s a stone cold cold world

Hey Ms.K thanx for the input. Record it in the key you are hearing after you add your input. The key change should not harm the melody so i'm with it!!

If I can trust my friend
any longer - he's gone blind
if I can trust my neighbors (oh no)
they must have lost their mind
I'm still learning, i'm still living
i'm still loving, i'm still believing

Hey Msk,

I like way it sounds with you singing in your lower register. I also like the verse. Can you play with the melody a little? The key you're sing your singing in is spot on.

I reread it and I like it. How can we inject Msk's input?
