Deep Freeze (song)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deep Freeze is a hidden track in the song "Come On", the last song on "The Verve"'s 1998 album "Urban Hymns". The track has no musical purpose, it starts with random synthesised and 'radio fuzz' sounds (13:07), before a guitar backed by a synthesiser plays until the end (15:15), backed by a disembodied looped voice, and a baby crying. In the making of this track, producer Chris Potter left a microphone out of a second-floor window and recorded the everyday goings on on the street below. The "city sound" was originally going to be just 30 seconds long and put on the front of the first track Bittersweet Symphony, however, Potter decided that the novelty effect of this would wear off and listeners would be bored of the city sound- so he placed the sample on the end of Come On.
