Silence and Screams

[boneonbone]

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

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!

[Farrell Jackson]

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.

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
