Song: Silence Of My Heart
Reviewer: Kate Carpenter
Positive Comments: Here is an interesting song with an interesting approach to a (marriage?) relationship highlighting the silence of the husband’s heart. The story begs the question…why the silence? Lovely vocal performance, especially pleasing in the higher range. Sweet instrumentation. Melody marries with lyrics nicely. Silence theme is consistent throughout.
Constructive Comments: The song leaves me with the question: What is the silence of the heart all about? Has the relationship cooled? Is she mentally ill, not “there” for him any more? Are they not really communicating anymore? I couldn’t quite figure it out. The recording start is “rough” in that the first note heard doesn’t sound like it was eased in. Might be a file transmission problem. Song is probably a bit long…you might shorten the intro a little bit. As far as the lyrics, although there are some great word pictures (sirens blaring, baby crying), try for a more cohesive, understandable story. Just my two cents!
