Amsterdam post punk/dark synth band Silent Runners have aired their festive new single “Baby I’m Cold Inside“.
The song is out now via Cold Transmission, and follows this year’s singles “No Manifesto“ and “Fools Gold“. Get it here.
Speaking about it, the band shared: “Baby I’m Cold Inside is our darker take on the classic holidays song: it’s energetic, danceable and melancholic. The lyrics contain twisted winks and references to well-known Christmas songs.“
Watch a lyric video below.
Mixing dark synths and electronics with post-punk influences, Silent Runners made a name for themselves on stage with energetic shows that are both compelling and strangely hypnotizing. Minimalist guitars, deep bass riffs and steady drum beats, going from an almost krautrock-like drive to all out bombastic. All topped with classic synths and a powerful voice, soaked in reverb.
Silent Runners “Baby I’m Cold Inside” Lyrics:
The weather outside is frightful
The weather outside is frightful
And there’s no place to go
No there’s no place to go
We roast around the fire
Contain perverse desire
We cannot let it show, we cannot let it show
We eat our stew in silence
Refrain from open violence
‘Cause there’s no place to go
No there’s no place to go
There’s a million better places
And I hate to see those faces
But there’s no place to go
Oh baby It’s cold inside
Can we go out tonight?
Is there no place to go?
Oh baby It’s cold inside
You’re such a joyful sight
We’ll lay down in the snow
The choir of children sing their song
There won’t be snow this Christmas
There’s pouring rain this Christmas
And there’s no place to go
No there’s no place to go
Oh baby I’m cold inside
Can we go out tonight?
Is there no place to go?
Oh baby it’s cold outside
For the Virgin Mother and Child
They had no place to go
Oh baby I’m cold inside, oh baby so cold inside
