Zac Brown Band: Colder Weather Meaning
Colder Weather Lyrics
Closes the door before the winter lets the cold in,
And wonders if her love is strong enough to make him stay,
She's answered by the tail lights
Shining through the window pane
[Chorus:]
He...
-
What about the gun and bullets lying on the ground and the fire? Did he shoot her? Is that why he is with her ghost again? She seems to be pretty upset comming out of the barn.

This song could be so many things however my interpretation is that I believe his lover,wife girlfriend dies, whom he has put other things before this relationship and when he realizes it it is too late and he is ready to do himself in and then she lights the barn on fire to give him hope to go on love this song .

Colder Weather is about a man that fell in love with a girl from Colorado but he can't manage to leave behind his freedom and his career for her. He knows he loves her because everywhere he looks he is reminded of her "And in the waitresses eyes he sees the same ol' light a shinin'" and when he goes back he is to late because she died waiting for him even though he left her. The man is then left with regret because he realizes that he wanted to be with her and only her

I haven't seen the video and hope I don't. (Videos always disappoint me in that they are never how I have interpreted the song.)
This is a great song. Wish he'd have gotten it right and spent more time with her when she was alive and he was able to. -
watch the video. He goes hunting or something and doesnt let her go and then he dies out there then she sets her house and fire then they see eachothr again

It's about a soldier who died at war. His wife is used to him going on tours. He has a gypsy soul: he's always leaving and fights for what is right. He's in colder weather: he's dead and wishes he could come back to him loving wife. Like so many other patriot zac brown band songs, this one is no exception. The truck stop outside of Lincon is literally a popular army reststation while recruiting buses refuel and what not. It is truly a beautiful song about the lives of fallen American soldiers. Be proud as you think of them.

To me, I see it as a man who loves this girl so much and wants to be with her but now is not the right time. Whatever it may be that is holding him back..depression or maybe work that takes him away from home. He wants to be with her but knows at this point in time he needs to move on with his life. He knows one day they will be together again and he wants it and can't wait..This song really expresses what I'm going through right now..well to me away

Question??? In the video, He shoots a gun. What did he shoot and why? And why did she burn the barn down?

I think its about a man whos always up and leaving his wife girlfriend whichever for what he considers "colder weather" could be an addiction could be fear of commitment like cold feet could be anything. then when he meets the girl in the coffee shop she reminds him of his girl and it makes him think of her. And the chorus is like him saying i wanna come home but she knows differently because he will only leave again. he loves her but he leaves her he doesnt want her but he needs her explains itself he really truly loves her but i dont think he even knows why he leaves sometimes and blaming it on something is the easiest explannation he can give her. and her ghost i dont think it means shes dead i think its something that symbolizes that she will always follow him no matter what , hell always smell her perfume and shes never going to be out of his mind. and when he says soon well be together i cant wait till then i think is a hope he has in his mind but says its a shame about the weather because he knows deep down hell never stay.

Actually, its about his brother. His brother had a heroin addiction, and heroin is commonly known as ICE. His brother's girlfriend tried and tried to make it work but eventually left him, because he was 'stuck in colder weather', a pun from the term ICE. Zac was very distressed at this extremely sad series of events, and wrote this song about it.

At first, the man and woman are together and she really wants him to stay but he ends up leaving anyways. They both love eachother, but he kind takes her for granted I feel like, especially when he tells her can I call you tommorow, tommorow will be better and stuff like that. Then one day she's gone, which I could tell from when he said "I'm with your ghost again" and then he kind of regrets the way he treated her and wishes it could be different. I think the endings beautiful when he says "I can't wait to see you again" because it means I can't wait untill were together in heaven again and he won't treat her the same way.

This is a great chance to mention that a work of art has its own life. The songwriter envisioned a long-distance relationship between a woman and itinerant musician that wasn't working out. Zac Brown's contributions to the song have others believing it's about his brother's meth addiction, interestingly pointing out the slang term for meth is ice. A video for the song takes its "ghost" reference literally and has the woman perish in a burning house.
Once art passes into the receivers's hands it begins to interact with him or her. This is the best country song in years, as moving as possible with expressive changes in tempo and volume and lonely highway imagery adding to the poignancy. Art can become larger than it began: "Colder Weather" is every separation that proves harder to bear than we thought and everyone who finds a strange sweetness in that anguish. -
My interpretation is that this couple just had another big fight and they love each other very deeply and are tired of hurting each other, but they don't know how to solve the problems in their life, so he walks out everytime they fight.
Colder weather is a double metaphore they both use to explain were they are at in their mind and in their lives in that relationship. He knows he loves her and cannot figure out how to tell her that he really wants her because of all the bad feelings and his inability to change his ways. In the end he knows he has to change and is asking her to take the new him back. The jipsy soul is what she sees everytime he leaves and she doen't want him to leave, in the last verse they both understand that they both have changed and they want to start over. The Truckstop in Lincoln NE is Schumakers Truck Center and a place he stopped to collect his thoughts. -
I think it means that he is a loner, and he loves her, but doesn't want to commit, as in he doesn't want to settle, like he is maybe in a motorcycle gamg or something like that(not saying its true, just a suggestion) or about his drug addict bro, you pick

I know many people have different views of this but to me its about a girl in love with her man who is in the music indestry. they meet, fall in love and she thought she could handle him being gone on shows and always travilling but she cant so she askes him to stop playing and he cant give up on his dream for her bc its a once in a life time thing. he says he loves her but he leaves her meaning he loves her but he's gotta go live his dream. my guess is they talk on the phone every night and she tells him how much she misses him and he promisses he will come home between shows and he cant bc of snow (colder weather) so he had to call and tell her he wants to see her but he cant bc hes stuck in colder weather. I think she says he was born for leaving meaning he was born to play music and she understands that but its to hard to be with someone who is gone all the time
