Have you heard of this new tune by the American pop-rock duo Rags and Riches?
You will want to add their newest single, which is entitled “Blood Runs Cold”, to your daily playlist after reading my review! While you read, listen to the electrifying “Blood Runs Cold” below! Let me know what you think about the song in the comments!
“Blood Runs Cold”
“Blood Runs Cold’ is something we had been working on for quite some time, but it couldn’t have been more relevant for the times we are living in. Written from a teenager’s perspective who can’t seem to fit in anywhere. They find their niche and stand out by being true to who they are.
The unique perspective presented in the lyrics is such a relatable topic for me. Yes, the lyrics are written from the viewpoint of a teenager, which I haven’t been for a long time now. But, as an adult, it is sometimes hard to “stand out from the crowd” as you are sometimes told what to do by pressure brought on by either work, family, or even society. The message found in “Blood Runs Cold” can be for anyone of any age as it tells us to be ourselves and stand out by being unique.
This tune is also such an electrifying one with its upbeat tempo and distinctive melodies. From the very first note, you are introduced to its distinctive charm of the instrumentation. It has an interesting blend of light and dark tones in different synthesized styles. Yet, when you further listen to “Blood Runs Cold”, you can hear strands of an electric guitar blazing in certain sections like the final chorus. Of course, the upbeat tempo, which is played by a series of synthesizers, draws you into the peculiar melodies by each strong downbeat.
The mystifying yet particular melodies in the instruments and vocals are different from each other. But how Rags and Riches unite each part as one consistent tune is pretty amazing. This uniqueness yet united within the tune is an amazing feat and should be heard by many.
What Do You Think?
“Blood Runs Cold” is such a unique song with its distinctive melodies and a message that many can relate to. As I think back to the song’s message of being unique, I can’t help to think that the message is also emulated musically. This message is also found within the distinctive melodies, upbeat tempos (as you know, being upbeat is one key to being inspirational), and peculiar instrumentation. Rags and Riches blend these elements together effortlessly in “Blood Runs Cold” to create an inspirational tune that is a must-listen for any age!

The message is motivating. We are unique and so we need to understand each other’s individuality to live harmoniously in the society.
Since I became a mom, I was detached with what’s going on in the music world. Haha! Listening to them right now 🙂

Whenever I read your descriptions, I am struck how invested you are in the lyrics and the messaging. Makes me appreciate music a bit more from your perspective.
First time I’m hearing of this band. They sound very good though.
i really love this song………. All of their song are amazing…….. thanks for sharing.
The first time that I heard about Rags and Riches is when I accidentally played their ‘Edge of Time’ song on Spotify 3 weeks ago. The songs was catchy and the lyrics speaks! I’m glad that they’ve released a new song.
I have never heard of this band before, but I do quite like the song. Love any music, as it makes me feel free x
When I read about your posts, I learn something new every time! Something about music that I may not be as familiar with! Thanks!
Pop-Rock songs are one of my favorite. About this song the lyrics are amazing and very authentic which is one of my criteria to love a songs and the artist are great I should check their more music.
This is the first time I’ve heard of this duo. I’m glad music nowadays can be catchy and at the same time have an inspiring and relatable message.
This is great music. Nicely written.
Your music knowledge is awesome 👌🏻
I had never heard of this band before! Granted, it’s not the kind of music I usually listen to…
The song celebrates individuality. I guess, we all need to respect each others’ uniqueness and this is emphasized in the lyrics. It is nice to listen especially during this time when we all have plenty of downtime.
The tune and the beat are infectious and the lyrics are relatable (at least to me lol) I love their sound!
I love how Blood Runs Cold has a message for young people. My niece is 16 and struggles with understanding how she fits in. “I feel like a stranger in a social abyss” is a great line – I think we all feel that right now, with social media as our only outlet for mingling.
I am so outdated with music! I wanted to know more about Rags and Richies, honestly had no idea! but in fact, it is quite interesting!!
You have become my only source of new music. Being a Mom makes you so out of it.
I like discovering new music. I will have to check this duo out.
First time to know and hear Rags and Riches. It is awesome how you blog about such cool music personalities! 🙂
Looks nice actually! i love the visuals, very easy to remember! Nice find again Ai!
It is very interesting how the lyrics are meant to be from a teenager but the video is so dark. I like the rhythm of the song, it was not at all what I expected when I read the title
Interesting music, thank you for introducing them to us.
I never heard any of the song from this band. Now I am really liking their music. Thanks for sharing

I never heard of them. But I like the song. Good one.
I don’t listen that much to music these days, and I’m so thankful that my husband has the control of our music at home. I’ll recommend these to him.
