 Some time ago I got lazy and decided to take songs that I would normally record with drums and electric guitars and keyboards and such and do them more simply, with an acoustic guitar and vocal, "live" to tape. I did about a half-dozen tunes this way. I'm tempted to call them love songs for grownups, because the things they're about are sort of complicated. This one is me having fun with a 3/4 blues- they're not all this dark!  Nearing the End Victoria Mowrer 2021 Your Best Friend I'll take my cue from the weather And blow right out of town I know we would both feel better If I were not around We could call it over We could let it end, and Silence could be your best friend You never heard me when I called ya There was always too much goin' on 'Cept for the times when I would dog you Those were the times you'd need to be alone Did you ever really love me? Or was it just pretend? Why does silence have to be your best friend? When my softest whisper Seems to you a riot And my little questions are a rave I could never make you happy I could never be that quiet Except maybe in my grave I told you that I adore ya 'though we've had our share of scenes Now you let your friend answer for ya And I know what that means It means a tear between us Words could never mend It means silence is your best friend It means silence is your best friend |
