De Nosaj Bieg Perspective on Screaming in the Cold VV
After 24 years of hibernation from music, De Nosaj Bieg has begun digitizing decades of handwritten lyrics, thoughts, and notes — opening them to the world to absorb, reflect on, and make their own. Emerging from the quiet hills near Woodstock, New York, he brings with him a renewed voice born of time, grit, and reflection. A veteran of the U.S. Army and a lifelong observer of the spaces between working-class reality and executive ambition, De Nosaj Bieg writes from experience — stories lived, felt, and remembered through years of change. His music weaves together Blues, Folk, Country, Soul, and Americana, capturing both the weight of the past and the possibilities that remain ahead. His albums One Left in Me and From Behind 12 Bars, along with the single Screaming in the Cold, stand as testaments to rediscovery — proof that creativity never dies; it simply waits for its revival. Slow down. Listen closely. The rhythm of the world — and of hope — is still here.
Fundamentally, I would say that the military thought that led me into the military was the thought that "freedom isn't free," and I really felt that the current existence of how the government is using their forces in the street is the exact thing that needs to be discussed, respected, and throttled to honor the citizens of the country.
Screaming in the Cold is about injustice, separation, and scorn, art and music consistently step forward – to capture the moment, inspire kindness and belief in brighter tomorrows, and on a more personal level, to escape from the noise and weight of the outside world.
An impassioned and powerful perspective, captured with acoustic layers of rhythm, voice, and space, Screaming in the Cold unites experience and expectation, with the vague poetic boldness of the recent scene, and effectively invites listeners into this dramatic, string-kissed neo-classical blues outpouring.
A song that gets all the more intense and emotional as it rolls along, Screaming in the Cold is raspy and unsettled but focused, dark and despairing yet hopeful, with familiar lines like ‘love is always stronger than hate’ ultimately resounding and lingering on the airwaves.
I was around a family that always had the radio on in the background, and we always had beyond this had discussions about our likes, dislikes and sharing, but in the years before headphones or ability to buy some, we always had to listen to our parents music in the cars and homes if they were around, which was at the time not appreciated, but looking back, it helped build a great music understanding that is my foundation from the 50s, 60s, and 70s, which dir help develop my love for the blues as I got older.
