Much That is Not Said - Vocal Version

Late Evening Work: Much That is Not Said - Vocal Version (3.2M mp3).

much that is not said

silent night
wholly unquiet
stillness sealed in a half-frozen riot
slowly these syllables lost in the word
the second hand, stopped, is now coming in third
deaf ears can't believe the last sound they've just heard
the meaning inside has now died, disappeared

silent dark
circling shark
wash this pain down the drain
uncrossed t's and eyes dotted with red
silence shouts so much more than is said
sleeping, heavy in pieces
sleeping now, heavy in pieces

Afternoon Work: fun and fruitful work playing with TravisM and PaulO.

Early Evening: received news confirming pending major changes and now on track for an early morning meeting tomorrow to confirm what will soon be.

Tomorrow Evening: BTV reunion dinner with a fab five.

Beautiful piece; love the intersection of the NST guitar with the piano and shimmering vocals.

I must admit I've been melancholy missing Christmas. This is a nice closure! This is my first visit to the site. Looking forward to hearing more, Steve.

Thanks John - how did you find me? I have five other songs in the works built on the guitar and piano sketches, but none are quite ready for sharing. More collaborations are also in the air for 2005. Thank you for your kind words.

Hi again, Steve... I found your site through the DGM links; I attended GC in Wimberely (RF jokingly called it "Kimberely"), Texas in the early 90s. Also present at that course was Brad B and the CGT. I don't think it we were Robert's prize crop of students, alas, although I got a pass to the next level with Hernan in Germany. I was not able to attend, but I still play around in the NST. I have a black Ibanez Gio which I think I saw a pic with you playing one, as well? I don't know Travis, but he is friends with my buddy James Sidlo in San Antonio. James does great soundscapes. I would love to correspond sometime if you want to drop me an email!
