about

David Drummond came up with the title one day when carrying out a viral exercise on the internet.... come up with fake band name, cd cover and title. When I saw it I knew I had to write a song called The Opposite of Talking with the idea of a relationship where its easier to say nothing than to end it. Unlike many of my songs this is not based on personal circumstances!

lyrics

The Opposite of Talking

Capo 3rd fret
V1: G / Em C/ D…. G / Em / D x2
V2. G / Em / C / D x2
CH: Am7 / Em7 x2 D

When we reached
the Opposite of Talking
Well our Silence was a loud reply
When I wondered
Why we did the walking
I think I can see the reason why.....

Did we deserve
To hear one word
Even if that was goodbye
Did we deserve
To hear three words
Knowing that one was a lie

Chorus
Sometimes, we find
We’re lost all the time
Sometimes we feel
Like victims of our crime


If we come back
To tell us that we’re leaving
Well we’ll already find That we’ve gone
If you’ve not heard
The words I’ve been saying
You’re not only deaf But we’re dumb

Did we deserve
To hear one word
Even if that was goodbye
Did we deserve
To say three words
Knowing one was a lie

Chorus
Sometimes, we find
We’re lost all the time
Sometimes we feel
Like victims of our crime

Trumpet Solo

Chorus and fade

about

the dolphin post Norwich, UK

all the work of someone who really should know better but still can't stop, recorded late at night hence the hushed voices so as not to wake anyone.

instrumental agility is probably described best as 'enthusiasm over accuracy'

Thanks to my label and designers Jupiter's Moon ... more
