Liner Notes

lyrics: negasi music/melody/production: sadcoolgirl

sadcoolgirl: my first fawm collab and what an honor to do it with @negasi! i was unsure if i was going to be able to bring these lyrics to life but he provided the perfect canvas for me to. i can only take credit for minor tweaks and changes, all his words. you never know how a collab will turn out, but this one just clicked instantly. very excited about it and even more so to bring it to you all. (ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ.ﾟ♡

negasi: honored to be the first collab and all I can say is ever since I heard sadcoolgirl's music I wanted to collab and I am just so thankful that I was able to be a part of this. I tried really hard on these lyrics to try to match the vibes I was picking up musically and I am so so so pleased with how this turned out! One of my favourite collabs ever! Absolutely wizardry on the music! Thank you again!

Lyrics

i'm in love i'm in love i'm in love

i'm in love with the cold floor (i'm in love) i’m in love with the cold floor (i'm in love) i’m in love with the cold floor (i'm in love) i’m in love with the cold floor (i'm in love)

memories of the cold floor (i'm in love) many nights on the cold floor (i'm in love) my own lake on the cold floor (i'm in love) made me strong on that cold floor (i'm in love) build myself on the cold floor (i'm in love) clarity on the cold floor (i'm in love) sanity on the cold floor (i'm in love)

i can't tell you something you don't want to hear  in your eyes all i see is fear

rising above your intentions held me in suspension not to mention

we're all doomed to crash out  because we've tried this before and then you’ll want to cash out another night on the cold floor and it's been tears and heartache  long before the daybreak can't just sit around and stay i guess it’s time to go

memories of the cold floor i’m in love  many nights of the cold floor  my own lake on the cold floor  made me strong on that cold floor  build myself on the cold floor clarity on the cold floor  sanity on the cold floor  i'm in love with the cold floor  i'm in love i’m in love with the cold floor  i'm in love i’m in love with the cold floor

a quiet love makes the fragile world go round no it’s not quite as it sounds

i wish i had a better answer for you  words i've since outgrew past due

but time marches on steady because we've tried this before the hot and heavy long gone in this cold war and it's been tears and heartache  long before the daybreak can't just sit around and stay  i guess it’s time to go

i'm in love with the cold floor (i'm in love) i’m in love with the cold floor (i'm in love) i’m in love with the cold floor (i'm in love) i’m in love with the cold floor (i'm in love)

Oh wow! This is beautiful. The minimalistic synth backing with the frantic drumwork and great, sincere vocal make for a fantastic mixture. The lyrics and the music match so perfectly being heartbreaking and intense with a tiny glimpse of hope thrown in amid the bleakness. Really enjoyed this very immersive piece.

NEGS! You did it, man. You've nailed sadcoolgirl's first (fawm) collab. So down but also so good. What a great title/idea to work with. The ache comes through both in the lyric and the arrangement/melody/performances. I have to agree, the production is great. Rarely do I hear that element being a big part of how I feel about a song, here it's part of a whole that works so well together.

Thank you! I am super proud of this collab it really rocks, but I only take credit for the words (minus a little rearranging of course), sadcoolgirl really made this something amazing!

@aeye 1d

Well clearly I’ve missed out on this music. Great collab from you two. Wonderful vocals and ethereal production here. You both brought your A-game

I have been put into a trance... I can't get out of the trance... I don't want to get out of the trance... Love what you did with Negasi's lyrics; the vocal production is so satisfying in my ears. What a great collab, really like the lyric "clarity on the cold floor sanity on the cold floor."
