Clean"Out Cold" Song for O&A | To me this is a song more about soldiers than anything else. “Out Cold” was spectacularly produced by Roy Harter & Sean Barry at SkinnyMan. They redid the drums, instruments and dressed it out in sparkles and smoke. Lyrics: Out cold. How I roll. Lotta SEAL. Lotta Soul. I train to see the rain Never pain. Can’t remember falling down. Falling down, into the sea Till someone search the drain To the end and find the men Who can’t come home again. What you gonna do American Man? One sent to the front.

Customer Reviews
Audio brilliance and a long overdue addition to iTunes
I have been following the exploits of Sherwin Sleeves for many years now and am excited that the rest of the iTunes world can enjoy him as well. Richly crafted and wonderfully offbeat, the life and trials of Mr. Sleeves harken back to an age where one could sit by the radio in a comfortable chair and get lost in a world of intrigue, love and loss. Do yourself a favor and give him a listen, you won't be disappointed.
Excellent
When I listen to this podcast, I fell as though I have stolen something without paying. I then realize that Sherwin has provided this for free. I think I might be willing to pay for this podcast. Between the music and storytelling, this podcast has an sense of fine literature.
.
brilliant.
