One of those songs from the era that just sticks in your memory. You can go 35 years without hearing it, then hear it again and start singing all the words, like no time has passed.
I know what you mean. A while ago I heard a song I hadn't heard for at least thirty years and had forgotten about. As soon as I heard it, every last detail of the song was instantly in my head. It's fascinating that you have detailed memories that you don't know you still have and can randomly remember them for no reason. I really wish I'd studied neuroscience instead of cybernetics. I hate computers now.
This song came on in the late 70s but is really a classic 80s song. It got tons of airplay in the early 80s. It was on the radio all the time. What a decade.
No, the welfare trash can't black up this song with their underwear hanging out while they stink of weed. They can't play musical instruments or sing; only rap.
@@whistlertaxidriver HAA! I'm 56 and was at the roller rink every weekend skating, sometimes on ice at the Polar Palace next to Miami Jai Alai. They would play that one song "ring my bell" all the time, LOL. Cheers
these young men were not your ordinary one hit wonder bands, they were true professional muscians with so much harmony and power lyrics.. One of the most underrated bands in rock and roll history! One hell of a hard working band right from the depths of greatness!!
I considered this song a masterpiece as far back as I can remember around 2014-2015 I’ve loved this song since I was a little kid. Still do even more at 21
This is truly a rock and roll classic, from one of the truly great rock and roll bands ever. You won't see this type of musicianship any more these days. Thanks for all the great music Foreigner!!!
A grade school boyfriend called and blasted this on my parents landline (that's all we had back then kids), to break up with me! Lol...still makes me rock out when I hear it!!!

Esta musica me saca lagrimas de alegria,los escuchaba en una vieja radio en noches claras donde la FM viajaba hasta me isla de Cuba donde esta musica estaba prohibida.Creci y me forje a pesar de la censura comunista en el rock clasico de aquella epoca.Gracias Foreigner por tanta calidad.
It's a classic for many reasons. One, it's just a cool song. Two, it has a really catchy tune. Three, the band are really good musicians. Four, it really does describe an emotional experience that's almost universal. The hurt of rejection by someone you love, the bewilderment, the anger, the wish that they will regret it, and will maybe one day experience some negative consequences because of it. So many of us have felt that. Me very recently! Haha! Thanks Foreigner!

Now everyone thinks it's hip to be satanic, vile and crude. Everyone is covered in awful tattos even on their faces. They spend hundreds of dollars for haircuts, dye their hair absurd neon colors, wear unnatural colored contacts , major body alterations including body and facial reconstruction. Butt and lip injections. Facke eyebrows. Fake oversized boobs. Makeup contouring that is a makeup mask to hide true facial structure. Promotion of every drug and alcoholpossibke, wrecklesness and carelessness. Polygamy, orgies annd impersonal sexual relations, sugar daddies, oh man I could go on and on
I consider myself very blessed to grow up in that era. It was yesterday walking to work and suddenly began to murmur it and decided to put it on my phone's ringtone. Can you believe that!
Since this song was on the radio almost literally all the time, and also because I may never have heard it again even once after the 70s ended, if I close my eyes and listen, I can almost believe that when I open them I will be back in that lost world. Can you believe all the things we've seen since then?
Going through a messy relationship or should I say "relationship" related affair. Manipulation, lying, trickery, double sidedness, all the good old tricks. Wouldn't be so bad, if it wasn't my first time. I am not completely clear of folly either. But as an enthusiastic first timer, my emotions drew me in. Lessons learnt all around. And this song truly has been a gem for getting through it all. In the last lap of this mess now. Not long to go.
My siblings and I went and bought the Foreigner self-titled album in 1977. We would play it on our stereo frequently, and 'Cold as Ice' has always been my favorite track on the album.
This song rocks!! My brother and sisters and I used to play the Foreigner album a lot in 1977 after my dad got us a new stereo from Sears with turntable and 8-track for Christmas 1976. We all chipped in to buy the album. Wish I still had it. Still my favorite track on the Foreigner album.
My favorite Rock vocalist and my moral mentor Louis... Amazing musicanship, great vocals and underforgettable emotions... Music is an universal language! Thank you so much for posting this! I write my own small poems and learn to play my electric guitar after attending piano classes... Lou amazed me at the age of 10 to create myself. God bless you, my soulmate!
I won a copy of their eponymous record, in a dance contest. I was 12, and didn't know who they were, but learned quickly. I still love their layers of harmony.
I forgot about those necklaces the keyboardist is wearing! I had one back then at 9 years old🥰yes I had a great childhood with this song playing on the Music Express at Rocky Point in RI
This my favorite song by far.❤❤ just love the lyrics and Lou Gram's vocals totally awesome ❤❤
Absolutely. Foreigner! No question. Foreigner!!!!!! No one can ever replace you guys. EVER!
One of those songs from the era that just sticks in your memory. You can go 35 years without hearing it, then hear it again and start singing all the words, like no time has passed.
Helps that the words are “you’re as cold as ice” for 80% of the song
SO TRUE!!
I think all 80 @70@ 60' are the the best music ever!
I know what you mean.
A while ago I heard a song I hadn't heard for at least thirty years and had forgotten about. As soon as I heard it, every last detail of the song was instantly in my head.

Im 16 and random in school I Start singing ,,cold as ice" and nobody knowed the Song, but I dont know when I headed it last time😂
Lou is what made Foreigner great!❤
I agree, it is a pity what his health problems did to him.
Absolutely
This song came on in the late 70s but is really a classic 80s song. It got tons of airplay in the early 80s. It was on the radio all the time. What a decade.
Still loving there music in 2024xx❤
Absolute classic. So catchy and unforgettable
1977
Great news Foreigner won the rock and roll hall of fame. Finally. We did it
Finally!! 👏 👏 👏 👏
It only took 30 years. 🙂
Yeah...and you would NOT have done it without Lou.🤬
One of the reasons I don’t like the Hall of Fame. Shame on them for taking so long.
They deserve the hall....hands down a amazing group 💯
one of those classy rock songs from the 70's that will never be done any better.

Lou Gramm is one of the greatest voices in Rock n Roll.
I was 14 in 1977...many of us from this era have witnessed the best music and bands and it lives in our hearts forever.❤
Yes I was 10-11 but remember roller skating to this at a rink.
I was also 14. I totally agree ❤

1977
It's so good, MOP had to sample it. That 1:48 mark gave me a flush
This song still sounds fresh now. Catchy hook - sampled many times; great musianship, arrangement and lyrics.
Just wanted to thank Foreigner for helping me deal with the breakup on my marriage in the 80's. This song became 'my' song to help get through it all.
Abrafagyohongyamedegott!!!!!!!!
Going thru a Breakup right now and this song fits perfectly
And I thought they wrote it just for my husband!

Oh how true that is!!

One of those classic 70's songs that is better than you think it is.
Agreed
You're as cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love
You never take advice
Someday you'll pay the price, I know
I've seen it before, it happens all the time
You're closing the door, you leave the world behind
You're digging for gold, you're throwing away
A fortune in feelings, but someday you'll pay
You're as cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love
You want paradise
But someday you'll pay the price, I know
I've seen it before, it happens all the time
You're closing the door, you leave the world behind
You're digging for gold, you're throwing away
A fortune in feelings, but someday you'll pay
You know that you are
(Cold as ice) As cold as ice to me
(Cold as ice)
You're as cold as ice
Cold as ice, I know (you're as cold as ice)

You're as cold as ice
Cold as ice, I know (You're as cold as ice)
Oh, yes I know
(You're as cold as ice) You're as cold as ice
You're so cold as ice
Lou Graham was a very underrated vocalist. I was born in 79 and it was this ban I remember first. Thank you dad. RIP
Foreigner=Cold as Ice, absolutely tremendous. How many gents have felt this and will feel this for one way or another. Superb.🎤
Martin Fitzgerald born in ‘93 and I appreciate this cuz of my dad
This song is so great it’s unbelievable. They are still going strong today.
It is a really cool song.
they are a pastiche cash-cow tribute band now, Lou was Foreigner!
@@FMOTLGWUAbsolutely! The Best❤
Classic rock, super vocal, superb lyrics
Wow i love this song always xxxx
I'm a full time Hip Hop fan. This Song is so Great, it had to be sampled by that Genre. Respect to the Foreigner!
Esta musica me saca lagrimas de alegria,los escuchaba en una vieja radio en noches claras donde la FM viajaba hasta me isla de Cuba donde esta musica estaba prohibida.Creci y me forje a pesar de la censura comunista en el rock clasico de aquella epoca.Gracias Foreigner por tanta calidad.
Foreigner forever 🤘
Demais ❤❤❤ maravilhoso som🎙🎸🎸🎙
Me encanta ❤no me canso de ver el video
This is a gift! Thank you for the great video and sound quality. Lou Gramm has a spectacular voice.
Agreed! For a guy of somewhat smaller stature he has one hell of a set of pipes.
He sure does. I could watch and listen to him for hours in the Dirty White Boy video.
Lou is a good friend for me
One of the best intros ever...!
Maybe the best
for sure 👍 great drummer Dennis Elliott
Love the incorporation of the piano in the intro of such a giant rock track.
What a tune
It's a classic for many reasons. One, it's just a cool song. Two, it has a really catchy tune. Three, the band are really good musicians. Four, it really does describe an emotional experience that's almost universal. The hurt of rejection by someone you love, the bewilderment, the anger, the wish that they will regret it, and will maybe one day experience some negative consequences because of it.

Very true, maybe one of the most underrated Songs ever!
just a song huhoushfoSEfbruh
Karma
True on all counts. Still my favorite from that era, we truly had the best music. Anna In Ohio
Not just rejection, but that person has valued materialism over love, and the lyrics are a warning that you will pay the price for making that choice.
2019: Still my favorite Foreigner song! Great tune, lyrics, harmonies, beat, musicianship, and just a helluva a lot of fun.
Fun is the video for Dirty White Boy. So much fun.
Finally.... Enough of those new live videos of this band... Classic Foreigner at its best
Exactly
Omg finally we have been saved. Lou Gramm forever
Una obra maestra del rock. Electrizante
Good ass song
Lou Gramm deserves his place in the Rock Hall,Should have been there years ago.
You're as cold as ice
You're willing to sacrifice our love
You never take advice
Someday you'll pay the price, I know
I've seen it before
It happens all the time
Closing the door
You leave the world behind
You're digging for gold
Yet throwing away
A fortune in feelings
But someday you'll pay
