Secret

Liner Notes

I look at quotes sometimes for inspiration. There's this Benjamin Franklin quote that's rattled around in my head for literal decades now, "Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead." That's what spurred this. #indie #indiefolk #singersongwriter #quotes #benfranklin #secrets

Lyrics

I’ve got a secret burning in my soul I have a longing vying for control I want to tell you what’s worming in my head, But three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

It’s a hummingbird trapped in my throat Fluttered wings that block each note I long to share with you The sounds just can’t come through.

I’ve got a secret burning in my soul I have a longing vying for control I want to tell you what’s worming in my head, But three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

The words like moths against my teeth Wool that coats the light beneath I ache to set them free Release both them and me

I’ve got a secret burning in my soul I have a longing vying for control I want to tell you what’s worming in my head, But three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead.. Three can keep a secret, if two of them are…

Great inspiration and use of it. The low-key delivery that seems like you are talking to yourself works well for this internal monlogue.
