"Cold Hands, Warm Heart" comes off The Alternative to Love, the third album from Detroit singer-songwriter Brendan Benson, out in March 2005. The song found a second life on television, turning up in the Bones episode "A Boy in the Tree" and the Smallville episode "Exposed", and it had company there: the album's "What I'm Looking For" was sampled for an iPod Touch ad and used in the film Ghost Town, and "Flesh and Bone" landed in the first series of Skins.
It also closed a chapter. The Alternative to Love was Benson's last solo record before he teamed up with Jack White of the White Stripes, a fellow Detroit native, in the Raconteurs.
