Ever have those moments of silence when you start reflecting and reminiscing on your life and your youth? All the good times and bad, love and loneliness, al the dreams we shared. This song is about looking back on those times when I was young, my garage band days and the brotherhood I shared with my band brothers. It was a great time of discovering new music, of making music, of falling in and out of love or infatuation as was sometimes the case. The song is not about a sense of melancholy but more of fondnes at the memories we shared and continue to long for.

The Silence Knew
No tear of mine will fall
So distant now as I recall
One night alone with you
Eye to eye, the silence knew
Only the moon above
It's been so long since I thought of
Our faces now ages apart
From those early days of chasing dreams
and broken hearts
The faded memories
Are coming back to me
Takin' me to a time when I was young
We knew of nothing then
Only the beating of our hearts
Emotion in the air
A taste of passion was our only care
The mood, essence, the heat
Felled the chillness of the night
Time would stand aside when I was young
Tho' situations change
The lights, the stage always remain
Chasing those dreams with you
I to eye, the silence knew
There's no pain inside
You're the reason for my smile
Still I keep longin' for a time when I was young
