about

Sofie: Our trip to Nashville ended dramatically in November 2015, and I found myself alone in town for two weeks. Fortunately there was a bunch of kind people who looked after me and invited me along to all kinds of fun things. I can’t thank y’all enough! One of them was Rick Barker, Taylor Swift’s first manager (yes, it’s true), who invited me to his writing office on Music Row to try and write a song. I sat there for an afternoon, and out came this song, inspired by our sad personal events, as well as that autumn’s tragic refugee crisis. This recording is from The Major Second’s live EP from 2016.

lyrics

BABY IT'S COLD TONIGHT by Ann-Sofie Jonsson MANUS (STIM)


Baby it's cold tonight

Babe we better sit close

Wrap up warm and stick tight to each other



Baby it's dark tonight

Babe we better stay close

Hold a candle to my darkest corners like I'll do yours



Don't run with the devil just to keep warm

Don't think there's noone on your side

The deeper the dark, the more powerful the flame

Baby when it's cold outside



It can get lonely now

Babe we better stand close

Stretching our arms out, reaching for each other



But it can get better now

Babe we better keep our faith

Tending it like a flower's promise to bloom



Don't run with the devil just to keep warm

Don't think there's noone on your side

The deeper the dark, the more powerful the flame

Baby when it's cold outside
