Lyrics

Listen Deep

The world speaks in quiet tones,
Through rustling leaves and ancient stones.
Voices rise where rivers bend,
Whispers call like a long-lost friend.

But I’ve been drowning in my mind,
Chasing words I’ll never find.
Stillness waits beyond the noise,
A gentle truth, a softer voice.

Listen deep, beyond what’s spoken,
Through the cracks where hearts are broken.
The wind, the waves, the silent sky—
They hold the answers when we ask “why.”

Footsteps fade but echoes stay,
Meaning grows in what we don’t say.
Eyes meet eyes; the sound is clear—
Even silence draws us near.

The ground remembers every fall,
The rain recalls its final call.
Stories live in breathless air—
If we just stop, they’re always there.

Listen deep, beyond what’s spoken,
Through the cracks where hearts are broken.
The wind, the waves, the silent sky—
They hold the answers when we ask “why.”

It’s not the thunder, but the breeze—
Not the shout, but whispered pleas.
It’s not the end, but how we start—
It’s how we listen with our hearts.

Listen deep, in stillness stay—
The quiet knows what words can’t say.
Through the dark and through the light,
Listening brings the world to life.

this is fantastic. love how the energy moves up for the "listen deep"/chorus, while the verses are sparse both in music and vocals to give a contemplative/reflective feel. Impressive.

I like the sort of hollow sound you have with this; like there's a big space behind you. Beautiful lyrics.
