Songs For No One To Hear

from Global Search Party by Walter Ehresman

/

about

An aching piano ballad with orchestration, Ehresman says this song is about the downside of writing for yourself rather than chasing commercial trends and relentless marketing.

lyrics

Songs For No One to Hear
(© 2018 Walter Ehresman)

Writing songs for no one to hear;
In a soundless drop just deep enough to let no trace appear.
You might say “the purpose seems unclear”;
Writing songs for no one else to hear.

Creating to survive the blows of life, and celebrate for those
pure moments when the weight, it falls, and I can float again.
In that sense, the world out there
it has no place that I should care, but still I send them all up to the wind……

Writing songs for no one to hear;
In a soundless drop just deep enough to vanish in thin air.
You might say “don’t think in terms of ‘fair’”;
When writing songs for no one else to hear.

The work is done, the bells ring out; The hope of now, the past of doubt;
‘Cause no one like to feel the fool who fails to learn once again.
Ignored into the same despair that every time awaits me there,
until the day I slowly raise the pen…….

Writing songs for no one to hear;
In a soundless drop just deep enough to think there’s nothing there.
You might see some kind of future where:
Writing songs for someone else to hear;
Writing songs for no one else to hear;
Writing songs for only you to hear.
