about

One of Michael’s piano songs, meaning it is usually played on piano in live performance. Michael is definitely what you would call “a people person,” yet he is alone most of the time, dwelling in silence. Like great artists do, Michael strives for timelessness; the lyric “Last year’s fad is next year’s fashion,” provides commentary about that, and is illustrative of his philosophy. Beautiful interplay of soprano sax (David Reinstein) and velvety guitar (Ced Curtis). Co-Producer James Ascenzo’s drumming, bass and background vocals are superb, and provide depth and texture.

lyrics

Nightclub eyes like candles burn. Ghosts of smoke at every turn
Psychic hands of revolution. Talk in tongues of cruel confusion
Rain reflects the neon signs. Headlights, horns, the daily grind
Lonely street just caught on fire. cRide that street car called desire

Silence – I need silence
Solitude and peace of mind
All alone I need to find
Silence

Passing strangers, ice-like eyes. Circumstance turns truth to lies
Bleeding hearts and tears of passion. Last year’s fad is next year’s fashion
Running down the avenue. Naked city, cold as blue
Front page headlines made me wonder. Blatant lies as loud as thunder

Silence – I need silence
Solitude and peace of mind
All alone I need to find
Silence
