about

This track is notable as it's one of the few that does not have a fixed tempo. It made recording much more challenging as I couldn't line up instruments easily using my computer program. Despite that I think it came out well.

This is also notable for having no traditional chorus (similar to "Surprise").

lyrics

"Unspoken"

I wish there were some way
I could have said it
If you could read my mind
You'd understand why

But somehow something's lost
When words are spoken
Like a color that you can't define
For the still unopened eye


But if you listened to me close
You heard the whole story
Did you pick up on the clues
I was leaving behind

If you cannot find your way
They'll lead you back to me
When life leaves you lonely and lost
Unspoken love will be your guide


When you feel unspoken love
You hold it inside
Feed it with your thoughts
Your heart provides its shade

If you hear unspoken love
I'll know you can love me
If you care to understand
All the things I dare not say


So I stare into your eyes
And silently wonder
Am I the only one
Who feels this way

But I'll be forced to run and hide
If I break the silence
So I'll withdraw the more I feel for you
And fill my every day with unspoken love
