Track listing

The Dodos

The Dodos is an American indie rock band consisting of Meric Long and Logan Kroeber.

History

The Dodos began playing music together in 2005, when musician Meric Long, who had been gigging steadily in San Francisco as a solo singer-songwriter, was introduced to Logan Kroeber through a mutual friend (a college acquaintance of Long's that happened to be Kroeber's cousin).

Dodo Bird EP

Long self-released a solo EP titled Dodo Bird in March 2006, in which Long played all the instruments. While they performed the songs from this release, Long and Kroeber met and started playing together. They worked to blend Long's training in West African Ewe drumming and Kroeber's experience in metal bands to create music in which "drumming could be a center role and help bring out the syncopated rhythms coming out of the acoustic guitar."

Beware of the Maniacs

The duo released the 2006 album Beware of the Maniacs, which was self-released under the "Dodo Bird" moniker. In support of the album, Long and Kroeber toured relentlessly for most of 2007. The band began to receive critical attention and developed a growing fan base. Fans began referring to Dodo Bird simply as "The Dodos", and the band decided to change their name accordingly.

So Cold (song)

"So Cold" is a song by post-grunge/alternative metal band Breaking Benjamin. It is the first single of their second album released in 2004, We Are Not Alone and was also released as an EP. In an interview with Guitar World, Aaron Fink and Ben Burnley said that the movie 28 Days Later was an inspiration while writing the song because of its feeling of desolation. This song is also the longest released single besides the live performances of "Until the End" and "Breath" which are featured on the bands greatest hits album, that Breaking Benjamin has recorded. This song was the band's breakthrough hit and it was also the song that bought the band into the mainstream. The single was certified platinum by the RIAA on the 25th of September 2015, the same day the bands debut album Saturate was certified Gold.

The song is downloadable for the video game Rock Band.

Music video

The music video of "So Cold" was directed by Frank Borin. Its story takes place in the 19th century, judging by the style of clothing, and first shows a preacher standing at the edge of a swamp. The scene then shifts to a group of people walking in a forest. One man can be seen carrying a large stone with the Breaking Benjamin Celtic knot on it. The man, who is being punished for infidelity towards his wife, is shackled to the stone throughout the video and struggles to free himself from it. Towards the end, the group of people arrive at the swamp where the preacher stands. The man carrying the stone walks into the swamp and drowns. His wife appears in a black robe while the woman he cheated with wears a white robe.
