Lyrics

The Quiet Cold by Tammy Jann © 2026

In the early morning hours I stand under the moon My shadow hugs me tightly like a winter coat cocoon

chorus The snow holds the quiet cold Silence of being all alone

Slowly the snow falls and never makes a sound the season's softened by covering the ground the snow holds the quiet cold

Stars sparkle in my eyes time has me mesmerized let these feet begin to dance in a frosty world of white

Bridge the sun could warm and take away this sight but it hides its face to keep everything iced

Ahhh...there you are!!!! I feel so much better hearing your angelic voice today. Love the rhythm guitar pacing your vocals and holding space for the lyrics. I feel you for this intensely magical winter we've been having up here!. My shadow hugs me tightly like a winter coat cocoon" how beautiful. You so wonderfully reflect the peacefulness and silence that only winter snow can bring. So soft and warm at the same time. Love the bridge lyrics. What a great take you had on the mighty sun who complies to winter will! Great one Tamm's!!!

These are such gorgeous lyrics! The quiet that comes with cold snow, that’s such a beautiful time to be outside, and setting that idea musically just elevates the feeling! Lovely performance and mix as well 💚

Wonderful vocal! Slow, sweet and soothing in spite of the stark landscape of the lyrics!! The chorus is awesome. Love the high notes and how your vibrato allows the sweet decrescendo. Love how in the bridge the sun is blamed for allowing the winter to continue. Loved it!!

The winter coat cocoon is a great line and I love the way you sung it. Your vocals really have this hypnotic quality to them. Love the long notes and your vibrato. You really capture the magical nature that a quiet winters night can bring.

Lovely imagery and vibes here. Excellent!

Beautiful vivid poetic images that capture the still wonder of winter solitude that gives us space for introspective reflection. Your gentle guitar delivery and gorgeous melody and delivered with your lovely vocals convey the sentiment that your lyrics express brilliantly!

This definitely captures the feel of winter, especially this winter. Lovely song!

Beautiful and meditative. Nicely done. 💙❄️

This is lovely! The starkness of the lyrics mirrors the images of the solitary snowy landscape, and I love how you move into those long smooth notes in "the snow holds/the quiet cold."

Like the morning quiet after a snowfall. beautiful sound.

The imagery is vivid. Lovely balance of guitar and voice. My favorite parts are the "Stars Sparkle..." and the bridge

As always, the wonderful singing voice comes through loud and clear. A nice observational piece of work, Tammy.

A beautiful ode to the winter. Great repeat at the end of the bridge.

The long notes in the chorus really help paint the musical picture here. A beautiful song (but of course -- it's your song!)

You paint a vivid picture here. I like that idea in the bridge that the sun could come and help if it only wanted to but is quite happy to leave us in the cold.

I like the title and you cleverly go on and fill in the story. A beautiful melody moved on by the delightful slow paced vocal! top class!

That last image of the sun hiding its face is brilliant.

Wow, this is incredible. Sounds like a 70s Laurel Canyon record. The way you’ve recorded your vocal has such a gorgeous warm sheen on it, it’s really magical. Beautiful melody, love the long notes you’re throwing in there. It’s the sort of song you can really lose yourself in. Thank you for sharing it :)
