I got the idea for doing this cover watching the Cure's "Trilogy: Live In Berlin" DVD. The version of "Cold" on there is exceptional, and I got help learning how to play the keyboard parts of the song. After that, I learned the percussion and bass parts on my own.
lyrics
Scarred
Your back has turned
Curled like an embryo
Take another face
You will be kissed again
I was cold as I mouthed the words
And crawled across the mirror
I wait
Await the next breath
Your name
Like ice into my heart
A shallow grave
A monument to the ruined age
Ice in my eyes
And eyes like ice don't move
Screaming at the moon
Another past time
Your name
Like ice into my heart
Everything as cold as life
Can no one save you?
Everything
As cold as silence
And you will never say a word
Your name
Like ice into my heart

An album in two parts; a coherent, optimistic first half, and a darker, depressing second half. This is the album that dreams and nightmares are made of, a plunge into the abyss with no way out. Tyler King
A remarkable fever dream that successfully juggles post-rock, shoegaze, breakcore, indie pop, new age, and even spoken word. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 2, 2023
Inspired by the Syrian desert, neoclassical composer and producer Miguel Del Tertre creates a soothing, hopeful sound-world. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2021
