It is Cold

for Beginner Level

Story behind this song:

I installed a brand new AC and heating unit at my house during the summer of 2014. The person who installed the system did not do a good job. I had a lot of problems with the brand new ac unit after they came to install it. One of the problems is that every year, when the temperature outside goes down to 30 degrees, the brand new installed heating system would not go above 65 degrees. Normally, it stays at 61 degree. I was and still am very frustrated about this. This new heating and ac system cost a lot of money. (A person use the same amount of money to buy a nice small car.) Because the temperature has not gone above 65 degrees inside, I have had to wear two sweat shirts, one coat, one feather jacket, two pairs of cotton pants, two pairs of socks, and two warm hats almost every single day for about one month. I have been so cold every winter. A lot of time during the coldest days in the winter, I have to stay in my 1998 Toyota Sienna van. Because it is warmer in my van than in my house. One day, while I was driving, I thought about writing a song about how cold I have been.

In this song, I used many seconds including Major 2nd and Minor 2nd. The Major and Minor seconds sound very sharp, like the cold that is cutting through your skin. It is very uncomfortable, and that is the idea behind this song.

In Romans 8:28,  “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

In life, I have learned that I can choose to stay frustrated and feeling mad at the whole thing all the  time. Or, I can turn my focus away from my problems and produce something good, like writing a song, or doing other things that help me not to complain.

We all need to make some choices in life.

What is your choice when the conflicts happen?
