    Very influenced by Neil Young, So Cold typifies the darker side of Farm. It is the oldest song on the album.
    CD: Farm   Label: Etcetera Records (Independent)
    Credits: Produced By JJT

    Story Behind the Song
    This song documents the crescendo of violence and fear that typified my life on the farm. It is the song that catalyzed the overall theme of Farm. We have been playing this one live for about five years.

    As with all the songs on Farm, So Cold was recorded mostly live, with a few vocal overdubs, an added acoustic guitar track and the lead lines. The feedback was live too, just me in a room with an archtop guitar screaming with noise.

    Lyrics
    The red Olds pulled in the driveway,
    kickin dust into the sky
    He said we'll do this my way,
    I just turned my head and cried

    I went out to the back field,
    where I wasn't supposed to be
    I needed some protection,
    I needed some relief...

    My head hurts like hell,
    my heart's breaking just as well
    I'm only ten years old, how can I be so cold?

    I know I'm only ten, but I've lived for fifty years
    You won't see me crying, you won't catch a tear

    The red olds pulled in the driveway,
    kicking dust into the sky
    He said you know I love you,
    I said 'That's a lie!”

    JJT (1995)
