The Alan Parsons Project - Silence And I

Alan Parsons Project Silence And I Lyrics
Songwriters: PARSONS, ALAN / WOOLFSON, ERIC
(Lead vocal - Eric Woolfson) -I do not know where to begin how Eric touched my life and others with his talent.
May God love Eric and others in his infinite memory!

Eric Woolfson's voice, maybe, best in the world, it hides some mystery inside, a little of sadness, a little of peace, a little of everything, it captivated me from the first time...

Rest in peace Eric Woolfson. Your music will never die. Now you are Closer To Heaven.

This song portrays an introvert, lonely person who is highly sensitive (can hear the cry of the leaf on a tree as it falls to the ground).

I find the instrumental interlude particularly interesting. It intensely contrasts both with the music of the vocal sections and with any idea of "silence" in general. In this way it makes us hear what's behind the veil of his silence:

- The erratic rhythm (in places) indicates what emotional turbulences he is going through.

- The beautiful, fast horn dominated section emphasizes how powerful and overwhelming he experiences his emotions.

Even a loner might like someone to "share the load" but for whatever reason, will not allow that to happen. Letting others in close to us gives them the power to hurt us. I'm doing what I can to grow out of this philosophy, but it's still buried down there and to this day, I keep to myself by default before catching my bad habit and sharing my pain with those I love, who want to help. At any rate, this song makes me feel simultaneously more isolated, as well as less so...

If I cried out loud
over sorrows I've Known
And the secrets I've heard
It would ease my mind
Someone sharing the load
But I won't breathe a word

We're two of a kind
Silence and I
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and I
We'll find a way to work it out

While the children laughed
I was always afraid
of the Smile of the clown
So I close my eyes
Till I can't see the light
And I hide from the sound

We're two of a kind
Silence and I
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and I
We'll find a way to work it out

I can hear the cry
Of the leaf on a tree
As it Falls to the ground
I can hear the call
of an Echoing voice
And there's no one around

We're two of a kind
Silence and I
We need a chance to talk things over
Two of a kind
Silence and I
We'll find a way to work it out
