Chasing Silence

Rivers Don't Speak

"I shut my eyes too hard, saw shapes and colors
I'm hoping the next time I close my eyes, I'll see another

World where you're here
Not a thousand miles away, this visual delay
I'll hold it close, I'll hold it here, I'll linger on it, your afterimage dear

I stared too long at a picture of you, saw you when I looked away
Now I won't blink not for a second, know you're here to stay
In this

World where you're here
Not a thousand miles away, this visual delay
I'll hold it close, I'll hold it here, I'll linger on it, your afterimage dear

In this world where you're here
Not a thousand miles away, this visual delay
I'll hold it close, I'll hold it here, I'll linger on it, your afterimage"

Six Foot Blonde - Afterimage

June Carousel - Silent One
Lyrics & song meaning in description | Indie Folk Central, discover the best new indie folk: https://ifc.sbmt.to

Song meaning: This song is about the different ways in which love can present itself in a relationship between two people. 'Silent One' explores the theme of love, painting vivid imagery of a beach on a warm, sunny day.

Lyrics
Cold air freezes the bed
Sends a blink into your head
To the darkness of the room 
It's a silent one

Screaming from the mountain tops
Off tonight when the rain has stopped 
When your clothes are wet and heaviness
Webs around your head like a spiderweb 
That's the silent one

And nothing stays the same
Everything is always in change 
Transitions rearrange 
Everything else would be a different game and not part of this age

Bare feet on a warm sunny day
Chase the sand dream your thoughts away
You show me love
You're the silent one

And it's creeping up in the night 
Webs around your fireflies 
I try to be the only hun
And you're the silent one

And nothing stays the same
Everything is always in change 
Transitions rearrange 
Everything else would be a different game and not part of this age

And nothing stays the same
Everything is always in change 
Transitions rearrange 
Everything else would be a different game and not part of this age

Bare feet on a warm sunny day
Chase the sand dream your thoughts away
You show me love

💛 Song meaning: This song is about taking care of yourself. Trying to clear space in your mind despite the unexpected reality of adult life, burnout, and the unsettling feeling that no one else understands you.

🎶 Lyrics: 
Sun's on the move
Crossing the sky am I
Setting too soon
Wishing for more time

He's just like you
Listening quiet then
Turning me loose
Missing the through line

It is all a mess in my mind
You don't know what's buried inside
It is all a mess in my mind
You don't know what's buried inside

Maybe I'm the only one who keeps it burning
Red
Maybe I'm the only one who keeps it burning
Red, red

This life is fine
Not what I thought, but, oh well
Who am I to want it all?

Aren't we just dying?
Slowly, then all at once
On the other side
Feeling the withdrawal

It is all a mess in my mind
You don't know what's buried inside
It is all a mess in my mind
You don't know what's buried inside

Maybe I'm the only one who keeps it burning
Red
Maybe I'm the only one who keeps it burning
Red

Red
I don't wanna know when I've lost
Don't need to know it was set
I've been counting up what I've done
It's all coming right back again

I don't wanna know when I've lost
Don't need to know it was set
I've been counting up what I've done
It's all coming right back again

💛 Song meaning: Feels Like Fire captures the feeling of being at sea, of being carried on the ocean's breath, rising and falling with each inhale and exhale, knowing this as the only constant, and finding peace amidst the storm.

🎶 Lyrics: 
Took my time
Well I had it coming, it came at a price
Won't you come back and tell me you mean it this time

And I don't know
Much of anything that I thought I did
Doubt was my companion, now she's my friend

And I love you
More than the sound of this pouring rain
Breaking on the red roof of this place 

You wash me away
And it's all gone

And it feels like every piece of you is tired
And everyone can see
It's rising from the church spire
Put a grown man on his knees
And I know it feels like fire
I know it feels like fire

Close my eyes
Well it doesn't change a thing, it's been cut and dried
Call it what you want and take it in stride

And this was love
We left out the words but I swear it was
Left an open space collecting dust

You wash me away
And it's all gone

And it feels like every piece of you is tired
And everyone can see
It's rising from the church spire
Put a grown man on his knees
And I know it feels like fire
I know it feels like fire

💛 Song meaning: This song is about loving someone even in the midst of heartbreak. This dreamy-folk song boasts ethereal vocals that sweeps the listener away into it's warm, organic soundscape.

🎶 Lyrics: 
Maybe we should come back down
I always signal you when I'm feeling low
I always think of you
I always think of you

Maybe we could figure it out
I never meant to hurt you don't you fall back down
I always think of you
I always think of you

Baby turn the lights back on
I want you here to show me what your all about
I always think of you
I always think of you

And I'm pleading I'm on my knees
And I'm calling out from my sleep
What is it all about
Baby I would bleed for you
Baby I would bleed for you
Baby I would bleed for you

Maybe we should come back down
I always signal you when I'm feeling low
I always think of you
I always think of you

Baby should we do this now
We only have a moment left in this town
I always think of you
I always think of you

Maybe we could figure it out
I never meant to hurt you don't you fall back down
I always think of you
I always think of you.

Baby turn the lights back on
I want you here to show me what your all about
I always think of you
I always think of you

I'm not wanting no sympathy
I'm just haunted by the words we leave
I couldn't let you go
cause you bleed for family

And I'm pleading I'm on my knees
and I'm calling out from my sleep
What is it all about
Cause baby I would bleed for you

LORD & LAND - Always You

💛 Song meaning: This song is about hope.
It was written after Covid, when someone had to go back home as the pandemic was spreading.
With the warm afterglow of summer “fire” became the dream to see them again and feel that connection, that love once again.

🎶 Lyrics: 
I lay 
in between your arms and what I see
Is sunshine pouring from your eyes
Getting the best of you, the best of me

And time 
has been lost in the ocean of your sheets
Alone
Sinking in the breath of your summer dreams

Where do we go now
Where do we go

Hold my hand
I have gone through time and space to find
Someone like you 
So let me see the light that I’ve been craving all my life
And I’ll come, come, just to see you there

And I’ll come when the fire starts
And I’ll come, come, just to see that I 
I am yours
Just to see that I’m, I’m yours
Just to see that I’m, I’m home

Weekly Indie Folk Update - March 7, 2025 (Tommy Ashby, Driftwood Choir, Harrison Storm & more)

The song was written with the intention of having multiple meanings so that different people could connect with it in their own way, For me in retrospect its a song about being lost in yourself. The song idea was conceived through looking at a painting in my co writers (David J Cayley) house, the painting looks almost like time lapse photography, its a picture of London with everyone rushing by apart from one person, this person isn't the center of the painting but stands out in their own individual way and this is what me and David both concentrated on establishing though the songs lyrics and music.

Lyrics

I am the wedding bells 
Singing from the hotel-ed streets the sinful sleep 
The cacophony of sound 
The new born hope to this hopeless town 

There she walks between 
The light enclosed her dream 
Now she’s finally; free 

She has the tainted tells 
Screaming from the silent weep the mournful sleep  
The monotony unbound 
The chastened tales of the wedding gown 

There she walks between 
The light erodes her dream 
Now she’s finally left; to be

In Between

"Silver & Gold" is the title track and second single from Frances Luke Accord's Silver & Gold EP. 

Lyrics:

What is this coming to?
What kind of failure lets this one through?
Oh, how did it get so bad?
In what seems like so little time in the end

Oh, why
Why am I blue?
Why, why am I 
Here without you

I get so twisted up
Bent out of shape
Stuck in a rut
I wish I could 
Let it go
Wish like my life is beyond by control

So why
Why don’t I realize
Hmm what can’t I see?
From down on my knee

So there you are, and here I am
Until the time we meet again
And I’m lifted up, right beside
And the two of us shine 
Like stars in the night
Like silver and gold
Or so I am told
Mmm silver and gold
Or so I am

📝 Lyrics:

Are you holding back the words that you have saved for another
Are we fading out fast as we did fall for each other 
I need to know 
I need to know 

You are painted in the bruises that are made of my colours,
You're the map of my whole world, I'm just a place you discovered,
You need to know
You need to know 

May they find 
Oh the beauty in your quirks just like I did,
I hope they treat you right,
I hope they makes you smile,

Like you still make me now
Like you still make me now
Like you still make me now
Like you still make me now

And it’s sad to see us moving through the stages to nothing 
But with distance over time are we surprised that we suffered  

we should have known
we should have known

When you finally find the one who makes you feel like no other..
And they seem to understand you in the ways that I couldn’t..

I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know

I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know
I don’t wanna know

And.. May they find 
Oh the beauty in your quirks just like I did,
I hope they treat you right,
I hope they makes you smile,

Like you still make me now
Like you still make me now
Like you still make me now
Like you still make me now

📝 Lyrics:

Morning light
I found my stomach in my throat last night
Another bite
I swear it’s nothing but a long goodbye

But everyone we know has lit their torch
There’s never one side in holy war
But maybe if we blur the lines nobody gets hurt

If you don’t have the answer
Then why don’t you keep it down?
If you don’t have the answer
You might as well shut your mouth

Summer night
I heard you laugh and my throat got tight
I can’t live or die
All I can do is love you right

But everyone we know has lit their torch
There’s never one side in holy war
But maybe if we blur the lines nobody gets hurt

If you don’t have the answer
Then why don’t you keep it down?
If you don’t have the answer
You might as well shut your mouth
Oh, if you don’t have the answer
Then why don’t you keep it down?
If you don’t have the answer
If you don’t have the answer

I know we both decided
That our love was best divided
But I don’t know how to hide it
When it feels like you’re still mine sometimes
I know we both decided
That our love was best divided
But I don’t feel fit to fight it
When you act like you’re still mine sometimes

I don’t know

Well if you don’t have the answer
Then why don’t you keep it down?
If you don’t have the answer
You might as well shut your mouth
Oh, if you don’t have the answer
Then why don’t you keep it down?
If you don’t have the answer
If you don’t have the answer
No, I don't know the answer
