play quiet

Notes

This was a real Harcourt Paloma moment! Sat down in the living room/studio at 105 and I watched as Jed and Kaleb conjured the chords for this song. I scrambled to the computer to hook things up and get a recording of the space. Jared sat in his room upstairs and we recorded him playing a solo on my dictophone. Somehow it all turned into this beautiful ballad.

quiet

quiet down

i’m trying not to be so loud anymore

when i

left town

i wanted to keep my distance from the past life

so as i pass by

i won’t

be looking through the glass

if i know

it might just bring me back

why

why do i

i only do the things that make me feel good

i should be patient

i should be waiting

instead of circling around

i should be

i should be patient!

i won’t

throw pressure on the time

when i know

i’m getting by alright

ooh

and i’ll find

something else to do

beside

waiting round for you

it’s fine

i’ll build it up and then

in time

i’m looping back again
