This song is about being in that place where you might find yourself speechless.....or feeling like screaming (or somewhere in between)......like when your parachute doesn't open, or listening to a Donald Trump press conference. It can be about whatever you want it to be. All brought together with a one word chorus (best part of the song....I think....
Silence and Screams words & music: Vance Grazio ©2020
Spinning in circles,
Tumbling out of a dream
What am I seeing?
Is it not as it seems?
Surrounded by sounds, between silence and screams
Lost in this moment,
Facing the line,
Dare I cross over?
The moment is mine.
Just imagine a scene, between silence and screams
Ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh
Ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhhh
Spinning in circles,
A flash in the sky
Suddenly over,
In the blink of an eye.
It's all quite surreal, but I know what it means,
Tumbling through space, between silence and screams
Loved it all from the great intro to the vocals reminded me of early Cosby stills and Nash well done bravo

This is lovely. Delicate acoustic guitar work and superb vocals. You are right, the chorus is damn fine and the harmonies are fantastic. It's all very well recorded and mixed as well, everything is crystal clear.
Great work, a really enjoyable listen.
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! wow this is beautiful , everything about it, the mix, the guitar, the vocals but my oh my those harmonies are something else. am getting a CSN vibe too, reminiscent of david crosby's songs. Are guitars in standard tuning? Amazing. you just hit the ball out of the park.
Every single thing about this is just fabulous!
Very nicely done. The vocal harmonies and layering are gorgeous and lush on the Ahhhhhhs!
Hi Rottenhead, since you asked, the acoustic guitar on this song is in DADGAD tuning, capo'd 3. I doubled the acoustic and offset it from the inital track by a milisecond or two Electrics in standard tuning. On the chorus I doubled all three harmony parts, staggered the panning, and added a healthy dose of reverb and delay to get that wide sound (took me longer to get that mixed right than to write the song :) (actually 8 separate vocal tracks on this song). It's nice when the experiments don't turn into a train wreck. Thanks to all who gave it a listen and for the kind words.
Yeah that was beautiful... such lovely harmonies, and a great production too.

Took my breath away this one it was absolutely mesmerising. Really took me back to those sixties folk Cosby, Byrds etc Its Blinding all of it lyrics guitars absolutely blinding.
Can i add a &Y to the csn vibe? Amazing song, and the production is very professional. I like a lot the sound of acoustic guitars, full and rich, very well played and recorded
Just wonderful, many many congrats!

I thought I'd commented on this - obviously not..
It's rich and lush and wonderful - the double tracked guitar and opening vocal are so reminiscent of CSNY as are the harmonies in the Chorus - which is truly inspired, and there is an originality to the song whic is both captivating and reassuring.
Beautiful guitar work, I really like when the arrangement fills, it's a goosebump moment, and the chorus... well just inspired.
Love this.
Oh and the production is fabulous!
This is amazing. Definitely getting a Neil Young Harvest-era vibe from this. But those spellbinding harmonies are definitely CS&N. Sumptuous! Love that languid lead guitar hovering over the acoustic. A stellar song.
Got this late - it's all been said above have to say.....Excellent in all regards - A keeper for sure - VERY nice!
Everything is in the right place on this! I listened to amazing picking by you, it sounds just great and the tone is perfect. Fine job on vocals/harmonies, too...I'm on my second listening.
Spectacular, has David Crosby written all over it. Wonderful production and performing, well done.
Rock on!
what a great sound and those vocals and backing vocals are brilliant , love the guitar work , great stuff , love it .....cheers tony cee
