about

On "Cycle", my duo album with Ed Woltil, we were lucky enough to have XTC guitargonaut, Dave Gregory on board for a couple of songs. On one of them (Elastic Man), Dave sent us a lovely slide guitar track, the touch and tone of which immediately made me think of George Harrison. So, when I was working on Quiet One, a fairly obvious nod to the quiet Beatle himself, I couldn't help but ask Dave if he might be interested in lending his formidable talents to it. Thankfully he was on board, and I have no qualms about admitting that when I first heard his part, I had tears in my eyes. There...I said it.

lyrics

Quiet One
Whispered wisdom crystal clear
Be the one to find me
Look at me
Stumbling blindly in the dark
Be the one who guides me home

Gentle one
Purest tone and lightest touch
And the softest landing
Fill me up
(Even when it's all too much)
With your understanding

Up on the mountain
Or into the fire
Out of the mire
Or through the mill
Take me where you will

What you are, I can be
What I am, you can be too
Free from a cold immaterial world
I was blind but now I can see
Through an open door
Now and ever more
We are our own key

Enlightened one
Be the flame that lights my way
On the path of seeing
Wake me up
Help me find the bliss within me
And the joy of being

Skirting a black hole
Crashing the sun
Under the gun
Or on a breeze
Take me where you please

Quiet one
Quiet one
Quiet one
