Silence Is the Best Thing I've Ever Heard

Post by jchitty » Mon Sep 29, 2008 4:55 am

I chose to repost this thread here instead of the Songwriter's Nook. I'm gonna submit this to the Carrie Underwood listing. I've already gotten behind the scenes critiques from quite a few members here. I just wanna give Jimi's studio (y'all know her as the moderator of the forum) kudos for her excellent production and engineering of my song, "Silence Is the Best Thing I've Ever Heard." I just love what she did with it....she made my chorus soar and she really souped it up. If anyone wants to listen to it, here it is. http://www.taximusic.com/hosting/home.p ... d=2572Here are the words:I love the way you look in my eyesWithout saying a thingThe way you gather my hair in your handsWhile kissing my neck so gentlyOthers were quick with those linesThey were nothing but useless chatterAll I need from you is that glanceSweet nothings they don't matterChorus:Oh, silence is the best thing I've ever heardJust hold me closeDarlin' we don't need any wordsTo express this love between usYour touch always comes firstOh, silence is the best thing I've ever heardVerse 2As the quiet revolves around us nowAnd the hours head to nightI love the feel of your arms around meAnd your heartbeat keeping timeThis great love between usFills the stillness of the momentSometimes only a caring caress Is all loves needs to show it

Thanks, Dave...I think Jimi did an unbelievable job with my song. I dunno, maybe I'm not seeing clearly and biased, but this one makes me feel I've finally written one that might have a chance. And believe me, I'm my worst critic. Of course, without Jimi's studio, this wouldn't have been possible 'coz my Band In A Box production ain't gonna work.
