What You Don't Say
You can keep it up
You can keep in touch
You can say enough
You can say too much
Communication loud and clear
It's what you don't say that I hear
Alarm bells ringing
Sirens wail
Giving information
Telling a tale
Smoke screen hiding what is real
It's what you don't say that I feel
It's a secret place
Where we see ourselves so clear
Face to face
I reach for you but you're not here
You can tell the truth
You can spin a line
Is it a rumour
Or an alibi
Are you lying all the time
It's what you don't say between the lines
| RG thoughts: | This idea had been hanging around as an unfinished demo in my studio for almost a decade. This was the first idea that Randall and I worked on when I initially visited him in Athens, GA and he helped me with the middle part. I realized then that Randall and I had a good rapport and could work well together. The song also is a nod towards J.J.Cale, whose debut album 'Naturally' is one of my all time favourites; his quiet, understated grooves were the early inspiration for 'Snapshot'. Eran Tabib's spare solo aches with what he doesn't play. |
