“Ashes” is a song by Cold Hart, published the 29th of June 2018 for the group GothBoiClique, it is the 3rd track of the Wish Me Well EP and it was produced by YAWNS.

The screeching synth and relaxed 808 provided by YAWNS really shines through on “Ashes”.
The gentle strumming of a guitar accompanies Cold Hart’s decent into his story of love-lost.

The man is hurting

Even with broken legs, I still run right back to you

Feeling trapped in

the way he’s living now

Cold Hart clearly has been here and done this far too many times. Why does he put himself through this? You don’t get a sense of pessimism from his lyrics, and although he’s definitely throwing the blame around (who doesn’t from time to time), he always brings it back to himself.

Cold Hart seems like he’s got a great moral center; he’s just doing the best like all of us. You feel his hope for himself, and it’s contagious.

Every lost bird still flies towards home

Sometimes pain is part of the cycle; we can get solace from the fact that there needed to be something burning bright in order to make those ashes. It may be gone, but that fire can get reignited. The difficult part is finding a match.
