Lyrics:
What is the full speed of language
When there is nothing to say
What's in the air
There must be something there
But it's not in service today
Sometimes the neighbors complain
The phone speaks another's full name
It's the secret life of letters
The secret life of words
Where do they hide unspoken
I haven't heard
How many days in a sentence
I feel like passing this phrase
These aren't my friends
Maybe they'll be again
Arranging themselves in their ways
I've got to pick up the paper
She says I'm glad it's not raining
It's the secret life of letters
The secret life of words
Where do they hide unspoken
I haven't heard
I haven't heard
I haven't heard
I can't believe this song isn't way more popular
What is this magic in my ears.
Absolutely incredible and beautiful song.
It is beautiful!:)
lee williams Can we all discuss what this song is about? I'd love to analyze and dissect it. It's so affecting.
Kiki Nichols Yes,I would love that! it is a touching song and to me it has a vintage sensibility to it as well...I think weshould start by anlyzing the lyrics.
Yes. Okay, I'll just throw some ideas out there. If we're taking it at face value, the song is about how letters and words are this unique mechanism that we over look, they almost take on their own existence that no one ever thinks about.

I agree,I also think that if we look at it as a story its starts of with a backdrop for the story "What's in the air
There must be something there....Sometimes the neighbors complain" it ties in nicely with the rest of it:a feeling of anticipation,boredom and sorrow. Possibly a relationship that has ended but not broken up yet:"I've got to pick up the paper She says I'm glad it's not raining". its a gray situation that hide s an intense truth:" The secret life of words
Where do they hide unspoken". In other words,all the unspoken truths behind a reality that seems so ordinary. It can be the way people really feel about each other but they never say:
"I feel like passing this phrase/These aren't my friends /Maybe they'll be again Arranging themselves in their ways"
The main "voice" of the song is caught between wanting to shed the lie and wanting to hide fro the truth like everybody else:"I haven't heard:....
