COLD's Gone Away acoustic version. Performed by Scooter Ward (vocals) and Terry Balsamo on the guitar.
Lyrics:
Do you pray
In the night
Can you appreciate the wind
And I won't care
I won't fight
I need you close to sing
It's the same beginning
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life
In words
And I can't breathe
When you cry
But I'll be there to hold you tight
And I would kill
I would fight
To keep you close
I keep singing the same way
I won't live
If you died
If I can feel you in the wind
And this is me
It's my life
I'll need you close to sing
It's the same beginning
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life
In words
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life
And I can't say
And I don't know
How far
I'll go
And I can't say
And I don't know
How far
I'll go
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life
In words
Gone away
It's the same old, same old song
Gone away
It's my whole life

seriously wish more people had as much appreciation for this band as I do. they've helped me get through the worst times in my life.

[@nirvana7x7]

Is true

[@clizzzle]

Same here much love for cold an all the earlier grunge rock

[@necessaryJustice_4all]

I do. I understand your love for them. It’s my medicine. 🙏🏻

[@josephphillips5955]

I definitely do

[@simonscowls4133]

Yaaaaaass boo yaaaassss!!!!!!!!

[@patrukas777]

I think this is Cold's best song. It never seemed to get the recognition it deserved. Probably because it was the "Secret" song on Year of the Spider. Awesome song, and great version. Thanks for the post.

[@codiverson3]

terry is the best guitar player in cold´s history

[@AngryChairRapture]

AMAZING voice. I'm so sad I never got the chance to see Cold perform live before they broke up. Scooter's voice is so beautiful.

[@nateframbach830]

Their back😊😊😊 So happy and their new album called the things we can't stop is amazing and so glad their coming to Pittsburgh soon

[@josebeserra3292]

I'm 31 and the first time I listen to this band was in last year (2023) and now I just can't stop.🇧🇷

[@JPhinfan86]

This song was FINALLY made available on iTunes as a stand alone not so long ago. Now I can hear it without skipping 15 minutes of silence haha.

[@PStewart28]

Scooter is so genuine and sincere in his delivery of the words. It's a good hurt to hear him sing.

[@grunsfeldband]

brings back memories

[@MAEternal]

15.10.2023...and it is still AMAZING!!💪💪💪💪💪

[@mickyt4638]

Damn... love this band

[@cynthiaanddaniel1]

I think this is a beautiful version of this song. Some people just don't understand what real emoiton sounds like or looks like.

[@MikeMina2023]

I wish I had gotten into Cold before the big break up...their music never gets old. \m/ rock out

[@mugmasher69]

one of my favorite bands of all time!!!! you are so correct!!!! i really feel they should have been bigger than they are....they are a great band and scooter has just an amazing voice...i saw them live at the webster theater some years back..they were just awesome...have every cd!!!!! COLD BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jad1025]

good song

[@Triples32]

Such a beautiful song. I love this version...

[@34heavyj]

His voice sounds awesome!! Scooter is a great song writer...

[@MAEternal]

And Terry Balsamo🔥🔥🔥

[@34heavyj]

his voice sounds awesome in this one!

[@daneisthegreatest]

i cant wait to hear the new cold stuff, i have been a fan of COLD since i was in 7th grade, way back in 97-98 and even have some grundig stuff from before there was even a COLD, scooter is a hero of mine and i will follow him and sam and terry for a long long time.

[@Stardrifter2]

I hate when ppl pst comments like "He really isnt a good guitar player or all his riffs are power chords"...when he could probably play circles around that person that made that comment. Plus it isnt the chord progession or makeup of the riffs, its the sound and end result of the WHOLE song that makes a guitar player good.

[@GroggyFive59180]

Hope that everyone here is okay. Be safe and remember that people care about you, even if it may not feel like it sometimes. If you are feeling troubled, maybe professional help is the answer, or talking to a trusted friend about what you are going through. Wish you all the best.

[@34heavyj]

This band really is good musically and everything just awesome

[@PStewart28]

13 ways really touched me and I just recently found about this song. It's quickly becoming one with my marrow. Great song.

[@brandtus]

one of the best live bands even on a bad night i saw them more times as an unannounced/unbilled opener and let me say it's been a privilege everytime I see them

[@snoweverywhere]

Its the hidden song on their album "Year of the Spider". I'm not sure if its on every version or not though. Initially it was on the wwf Tough Enough soundtrack from 2002 I believe.

[@bandit42000]

great band love this song

[@Deeplycloseted435]

Wow, this was intense nostalgia for me. This video is 15 years old. My life was so different then. This song is 20 years old. I was such a clueless fucking kid, all 23 and ready for everything. Sweet boy, slow down. Time is weird. This song feels not so long ago, but 20 years seems like a lifetime ago at the same time. Too much life, squeezed in there for me.

[@gahndi9193]

I can’t change, because I don’t know, how far I’ll go.💕

[@FernandoyonielPerezNunez]

It Will be unforgettable.

[@jbmoor01]

2011 and still listening to this song . . . it just takes me back . . . I miss cold . . .

[@emittscool]

sounds fuckin excellent 2 me

[@koitihoshi07]

Oh man, 16y ago.. time flies

[@chrisivey9218]

Literally EVERY single time I hear this song it makes me thing of my daughter navanah... Daddy loves you baby girl 🤗😘

[@angelofwar9223]

I just listened to this for the first time and I’m in love

[@manbearpig2164]

One of the greatest band's ever

[@YankeeRedneck437]

I love this song. All songs are open to the listeners interpretation. I love this song.

[@FernandoyonielPerezNunez]

Great song. For the meaning it express

[@hiccupheaven88]

Oh shit dude..dude ...idk even know what to say man..beautiful

Classic

[@angelofwar9223]

Came.back.. had to 😎 ❤❤

[@unsaidvox]

love this song

[@revolutionday1]

He's a pretty bomb-ass "guitarist"...period.

[@reapersin8942]

Yes, COLD is back together. Once the tour is done and the TKATS album is released, they'll be working on their final/goodbye album.

[@tbj402000]

love it

[@come2u2cu]

@thedarktingler funny you should say that. that's exactly what I like about cold. they're imperfect and honest about it. find me something better if you will. No one can sing these songs like scooter does.

[@murphstone]

Great vocals and guitar work, incredible actually. Anyone know where to download this version or other acoustic versions?

[@111807jeanna]

i think your right with the withdrawl symptoms.. been there done that... poor guy looks like hes in alot of physical pain =[

[@joem.bautista7716]

2021

[@ididcramsmom]

ouch.. this performance litterally broke me in half..long live scooter!!..

[@1CoLd3]

@weepingmidwinter people, and me thought his voice his voice was sick from shit, but now i believe, its cuz he really putting it out, and almost choking on tears

[@angelofwar9223]

Nice

[@MaynardOwns]

ill learn this after schooool

[@reapersin8942]

Yeah, he's still doing that.

[@JW32584]

@ReaperSin the withdraw symptoms of drugs can last for years n years, especially emotionally. whether he's on drugs or not is his business-it's all apart of him n his life n thats what music is all about-the emotions of what your dealing with. he could have been buzzed, withdraw affects, sad, or just tired... still an awesome song & an awesome verision

[@Adeon55]

You sir, are also win. :-) Cool upload, 5/5.

[@reapersin8942]

I dunno...Kelly Hayes is pretty good too. I heard some people complain about Balsamo's negative personality or something. Have no idea. But generally when it comes to shredding or whatever, Kelly takes center stage.

[@ratmachine87]

c0ld will aways be the shit.

[@reapersin8942]

Well apparently, it's not their goodbye album after all. Initially it was planned as a final album so that Scooter could end COLD on their own terms and not on the terms of the record label but now Scooter says that he'll be working on COLD and TKATS albums for at least a couple more years until he has strengthened SonicStar records enough.

[@reapersin8942]

Really? I think it's a beautiful version, his voice is really mellow. As for whether or not he's on drugs, I can't tell. This is during the years when he cleaned up so...maybe withdrawal symptoms? I don't know.

[@1CoLd3]

@weepingmidwinter he does

[@reapersin8942]

I think it is a equalizer sorta thing that controls the noise level on his mic. Or a second mic though I see no reason for one.

[@Musicloverlife1]

@ARCMBASSIST For the record, alot of artist rarely sing what is on CD, and they're all wonderful artist. I'm not trying to start an argument, because I to am a performing artist. I'm only speaking my mind.

[@debonaire_nerd]

Looks like the HD camera has...gone away.

[@jeronimoj.montenegro661]

It's beautiful, but Just Got Wicked too

[@dyllondodd5091]

Beautiful song, Im assuming this is for his daughter or someone close to him.

[@mckenzierae3118]

Or something close to him.. I'm thinking he isn't referring to a person.

[@alfaivre2990]

@@mckenzierae3118 its specifically for his daughter. The full name of the song refers to her. It's about him being gone on the road away from her.

[@alfaivre2990]

@@mckenzierae3118 the full title is "gone away (a song for Starr)". It was originally a hidden song on their CD. This version blows the studio version out of the water because it's very raw and emotional.

[@ImMarkTheFarmer]

@@alfaivre2990 no it isnt. Why are you lying? This song is about a girl that ran away and killed herself. Stop spreading lies

[@gibbs8007]

@@ImMarkTheFarmer Why would al lie? al just assumed with that claim. Dumdass

[@weepingmidwinter]

@1CoLd3 be sure to let me know when u do!

[@weepingmidwinter]

he sounds like he is about to cry

[@ididcramsmom]

I'm a huge Scooter fan, but every now and then he sounds a bit off (flat). This is not one of those times. Usually it's the harmonies, and I blame the sound engineers. I've heard him with no mic whatsoever; he's got the voice, and the heart!

[@zachnai4937]

yomfnmammy it's the drugs

[@hightdan]

So cold is back together?

[@heliumallen]

Scooters probably just trippin on something, I think this was a pretty sick performance

[@corbindallas18]

Does this band still tour? Or even a band?

[@reapersin8942]

Corbin Dallas Hey Corbin. They're still a band yes. They are in the process of finishing their latest record and then will be going on an international tour.

[@PStewart28]

It's the same old same old song..

[@hafthorfenrir2896]

:')

[@ratmachine87]

c0ld is the shit

[@reapersin8942]

Sorry about that mate. :) I'll fix up the title.

[@metalloulou]

is he crying ?

[@UnfundedDeeJ]

whats the tuning for this anyone know? the one i have on ultimate guitar i dont understand it lol

[@ambrooks5]

Should be drop C. Like drop D just down a whole step from there.

[@zachnai4937]

Sypher19d it's gotta be drop C but like in C tuning. Notice how he doesn't start out by using the 6th string

[@zachnai4937]

Sypher19d plus he's playing full chord figures not drop tuning bar figures

[@Deathtour2929]

It is C tuning. Just tune every string a whole two steps down.

[@AcousticSerenity]

C standard

[@1CoLd3]

@weepingmidwinter really man, just checked out ur channel, doesnt look lyk your into this music at all?

[@reapersin8942]

COLD has been broken up for quite some time.

[@CapnJim09]

Yeah, 13 minutes and 13 seconds after track 13 ends.

[@Bryan2Blazed]

WTF happened to these guys. Damn they were awesome.

[@reapersin8942]

They're still around. Check out their Facebook Page (COLD official), they're dong some interesting things at the moment

[@eclipsegsx765]

it's a good hurt to hear?

[@mckenzierae3118]

Is he singing about opiates?

[@reapersin8942]

Hm good theory. He wrote this song for his daughter and being away from her all the time.

[@mckenzierae3118]

guess that's my own fucked up interpretation. I realized after watching the official music video it was about his daughter. she's beautiful.

[@1CoLd3]

@ratmachine87 dude ur doin it wrong lol, cOld wtf

[@RisetheDead88]

what

[@sundancer4426]

What happened to this dudes voice. What a shame.

[@nikcue2542]
