Behind the Song:
Ryan Clark:
“The internet is one giant paradox. On one hand, it is an endless wealth of useful information… on the other hand it is ground zero for every kind of awfulness imaginable. Worst of all, it has become so deeply ingrained in us, that most of us cannot imagine life without it.
I’m no exception. What I do versus what I believe makes me very contradictory. I take part in social media yet simultaneously believe it to be, without a doubt, the most destructive force of our generation. Cold Blood is about my feelings on social media, the internet at large, and the distance it’s created among us.
Growing up in a pre-internet era, I can’t help but feel sorrow for those who were born in the wake of its necessity. As hard as it is to imagine, I would love to see a backlash. I believe there will be a time when a great number of people make the decision to truly distance themselves from it all."
