I started this lyric during 50/90 and didn't finish. I took another look now and boy, am I glad I did!
Nadia (@musicsongwriter) created a beautiful piano melody (she also posted it on Bandcamp here: https://nadiacripps.bandcamp.com/track/in-the-silence-collaboration) and Sharon (@scubed) added a beautiful vocal melody to the song with those strong vocals. Both have a certain finesse to their work and I am thankful to them for lending their considerable talents to create such a mesmerizing song! Thanks ladies!! :)
IN THE SILENCE
It’s in the (little) spaces
In the middle of a pause
Ideas can freely flow
Like a waterfall
It’s with a certain eye
In the shadows deep
Paintings can be painted
Friends don’t need to speak
[ch]
Oh in the silence
I can breathe
I can see
I can be
In the silence
Lives inspiration
Imagination
And peace
When my mind is filled
With lists of things to do
All I really want is
Ten minutes to renew
When my body aches
From the windy road
I sit myself down
And make the world go slow
[ch]
Oh in the silence
I can breathe
I can see
I can be
In the silence
Lives inspiration
Imagination
And peace
[br]
There are gifts to unwrap
There are signs to read
If we settle in softly
Maybe we can get what we need
Repeat ch

This is simply gorgeous. The simplicity makes this feel so big. It totally envelops me. I feel surrounded by the music and emotions. I absolutely love this!
@nadine Feb 2022
Simply stunning. The vocals are so good and delicate. Working so well with the lyrics. And the piano. Perfect collab making all three of you shine.

Lovely one, you all! I picture it as a key song in a musical….a dimly lit stage with the protagonist alone. Excellent collaboration!
@oswlek Feb 2022
Mesmerizing. The bare arrangement is perfect given the lyric. Lovely piano and vocal melody. I feel like I just downed my last drink of a lonely night at a lonely bar. But feeling pretty good about it. :-)
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
What a wonderful 3-way collaboration! The lyrics are so beautifully poetic and the music compliments them perfectly. The vocals are absolutely gorgeous! Three wonderful musicians creating a song is magical!
@richaaaay Feb 2022
This is precious. Beautiful piano, vocals and lyrics. So well executed on all fronts. The music sets a wonderful atmosphere upon which to reflect on the message of the lyrics..At least that's what I did.
@cindyrella Feb 2022
Oh my! How utterly stunning! Gives me goosebumps! I want more of these!
