about

An ode to Silence and its many capacities.. each verse exploring a different facet: avoidance (social), complacency (cultural), and divine presence (spiritual).

Written in September '23, this has been one of my favorite songs to perform.

This version is a Minimal Mix (not exactly Unplugged, more than a Demo..) of the song - just myself and Lucas Wagner on the JamSet (built by our very own Ryan Well of Legendary Hand Drums!).
A full arrangement will be produced in the future. :)

lyrics

Silence speaks in wondering
What you think
& what it means to be
Identifying vulnerable visibility

Your body does not lie
Nearly as easily as your mind

Silence speaks; is it of vague anxiety
Or clarity?
Knowing what is in flow needs no forcing
So I will let this go
Let it come back to me with deeper ease

Silence speaks in seeing you do
Differently than what you preach
Can you reach deep
Into the imagination, pull out something new

Your eyes do not lie
Nearly as easily as you might like
Nor the words you choose to use

Silence speaks; is it mere complacency
Or apathy?
This void inside of me I would refuse to feel
Overflowing pleasantries drowning me
Until I learn to tap the Flow
Let it guide me home

No future, no past
Just the mind spinning fast
Only light refractions & fragmentations
Of conceptual memory and projection

Your presence cannot die
Timeless witnessing of the mind
& the lies it feeds the eye

Silence Speaks
In each & every molecule dancing
Expressing as infinity whispering
Of the Mystery alluding me; alluring me
