SWOD (Song of the Day, Word of the Day) #6

2 Feb

Today’s Word:

Gelid: Extremely cold; icy.

That's a lot of ice.

Musical Example

This was a particularly easy SWOD for me and for those who are thinking the same as me, I commend you. In 1977 a British-American rock band released a self-titled album named Foreigner led by the musical skill of Mick Jones, Ian McDonald (formerly in one of my favorite bands King Crimson), Lou Gramm, Al Greenwood, Dennis Elliot and Ed Gagliardi (so basically it was a super combination) . Track 2 talks about an incredibly gelid person who is willing to sacrifice love. “Cold As Ice” became one of the band’s top hits and the opening beat and staccato piano part is poisonous for people who are susceptible to songs getting stuck in their head.
