"Come Silence" - LTAN (Original)

When the noise gets so loud it becomes muffled, there is a moment of clarity when you know that you can either let go and move forward or fall back and be consumed. It's all pretty melodramatic (and visually abstract) I know, but it wouldn't be me otherwise. For the video editors, please forgive my horrendous mattes. I did the best I could with the tech as well as the patience I possess.

Come Silence

silence come sit with me
quiet the rising tide
i hunger for the company
to break this reckless stride

'cause i've had my share of sleepless nights
fallings from such great heights
angry tears and life without song
i've been held to myself too long

silence come lay with me
encompass this restless soul
restore the gentle, calming peace
this nightmare simply stole

'cause i've heard my share of words that sting
been blinded by the pain they bring
carried stones of past mistakes
lessons learned in give and take

me through this fire
let me shed this skin
lay my weapons down
forget where i've been

silence come sleep with me
grant me dreams upon the waves
and when the night has ceased to be
come silence to my days

'cause i've had my share of tortured thoughts
regret for love now lost
it's time to make a brand new start
to mend my broken heart

Boy, have I been missin' out. This is outstanding !

I must spend more time with your music.., so well written n' so well done.

This is usually where I throw in some silly or stupid remark but I can't.

This is sacred ground. I'm like...stunned. Wow. Ni-i-ice work. :-))

(i'll try n' leave a silly remark on the next one, i don't wancha' feelin' cheated) ;-)

What can I say? You already know I'm a fan... so on the technical side of it- most specifically the layering of your vocals- wow. Did you record your harmony a second time separately, or did you double the pre-recorded first take? Either way is acceptable, but if the harmony is a live re-record, then you really show that you know every small detail of your song, all the way down to the vocal accents. Video looks extremely professional. Lyrics are simply great.
