A Silent Knowing
Comment Share
This song was my first complete rock song experimenting with found sounds. The traditional chorus is replaced with progression of the story
composer film music movie music
film music, composer, movie music
These are all pieces I've written, recorded, mixed and mastered myself. I will be trying to put up new songs every so often because I have probably a dozen or so half way complete songs and many more started. I have classical training in music theory but have spent a number of years playing rock styles. I like to experiment with musique conkrete ("nonmusic" sounds like samples and foley tracks)in my songs as you'll notice. My specialty is with strings and the afore mentioned musique conkrete. I am pretty capable at writting rock style pieces but that part of my music "career" is more or less over in my mind. I teach guitar and bass for a living but hope to compose music for a living one day.

Lyrics
call this all a silent knowing our words are useless and incomplete our bodies weak theres no need to speak your eyes still crystal clear they say the words I hear all this is all I want don't fret i've no regret she slowly closed her eyes and died You have to ask yourself is this what we made of life and did we do this right, i hope she saw the stars tonight shining bright they filled up the whole sky she rolled her window down and felt the night I saw her eyes right before she died they dwarfed the moon and lit the sky if our timings right I betthat we could fly we'd look down and the world would burn in the fire of your eyes We are gathered her today to honor and remember sheila brown we lost sheila at the young age of 19 what we may see as far before her time however we cannot go on selfishly wishing she was her with us for these things are not for us to decide she is with god now and her new family in his grace with these thoughts we should carry a joy in rememberence and wish her well until we meet again it seems our souls are to transient to hold but to heavy to leave the minds of those who loved them even the mighty fall under the weight above them we turn to wasting days over ashtrays looking in we can see remnents of our sins buried in the ash fallen from the cigerettes hung on the lips that spoke them The stars are bright again tonight I sleep tonight with you in mind the city burned the night you died these ruins hold your eyes to mine but my body aches for something far away I don't have the strength
