about
Stephen Hunley's first release of 2020 might just end up being the absolute coldest song of the year. Six Below is a track masterfully drenched in cold, dark descriptive lyrical imagery mixed with emotionally charged vocals and surrounded by eerie, ambient tones sure to make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Hunley says his latest endeavor was written for the countless victims who have endured the agony of domestic violence and abuse. It's a tale that is simultaneously tragic and triumphant about a woman at her wits end who is forced to take matters into her own hands to escape a literal and metaphorical frozen hell. You are sure to be reeled in by Hunley's gifted storytelling and chilling melodies. Be sure to listen to this one all the way to the bitter end.
lyrics
Heavy snow coming down
Lining the streets of a frozen town
She sits alone on the kitchen floor
Shaken by the sound of a slamming door
Here he comes storming in
Flying off the handle of a fifth again
He won't raise his fist in anger
He won't put her life in danger anymore
She won't lie awake tonight
Under a sheet of ice
And it won't be so cold
When he's six below
She's holding on to a loaded gun
Too scared to fight too tired to run
She pulls the hammer spins that wheel
Breaks the hold of his bitter chill
She lays a bullet in his chest
Whiskey and lead on his final breath
He won't raise his fist in anger
He won't put her life in danger anymore
She won't lie awake tonight
Under a sheet of ice
And it won't be so cold
When he's six below
He's under it's over
He's under it's over, over and done
He's under it's over
He's under it's done
It's over and done
He won't raise his fist in anger
He won't put her life in danger anymore
She won't lie awake tonight
Under a sheet of ice
And it won't be so cold
Maybe it won't be so cold
When he's six below
