“Cold as January,” the latest release from Andrei Ursu, is an emotional song about the fragility of love that blooms in the spring but fades in the winter’s cold. The lyrics express the melancholy of a love that was once warm and hopeful but now faces the coldness of an inevitable end. However, the song also suggests a ray of hope, a promise that, just as winter turns into spring, love can be reborn. It’s a meditation on the passage of time and the power of hope, even in the coldest moments.
The song was written by Andrei Ursu, along with Andrew Barabancea, who also handled the production.
