In a recent press release King shared, “I wrote Cold Shoulder to paint a vivid picture of what it feels like to lose someone you love. I wanted it to be incredibly visual—so that when you listen, you feel like you’re right there in the moment. At its core, it’s a simple story about one of the hardest nights of my life. We recorded it in a single take, which is a really special detail. It’s the most stripped-down song I’ve ever released, and I’m excited for people to hear a different side of me.”

The song personifies how it feels to lose the person you love in a single moment. Anyone who has every been through a tough moment like that is sure to relate. Additionally, the fact that King paints the picture with his own life experience makes the song that much more special!
“Cold front, worst one of the season // The red clay and pines were both freezing // Hell of a time to be standing in your driveway // Wasn’t much to say but we said it // Both knew it’d hurt and we let it // Burned in my mind // As you walked away // I saw your breath in the flood lights // Hanging up in the air with a goodbye // I know it wasn’t the wind // Putting tears in your ears // That night // Those pretty hands were half frozen // It was killing me I couldn’t hold’ em // Didn’t think December could get any colder // That than last look over your shoulder”
Zach John King is the real deal! “Cold Shoulder” is the start of more to come.
