1661 Most Significant Songs in My Life: Kindly Unspoken by Kate Voegele

As high as the moon
So high were my spirits
When you sang out my name

And coming from you

It was enough just to hear it
Oh, it rang like the bells did today

But even the sturdiest ground

Can shift and can tremble and let us fall down…

Kindly unspoken

You show your emotion
And silence speaks louder than words
It’s lucky I’m clever
Cause if I didn’t know better
I’d believe only that which I’d heard

In the days of my folly

I followed your rules
Did what Simon Says to do

But I won’t let melancholy

Play me for a fool
Oh, no I’m on my way somewhere new

And as far as your lack of something to say

Well, to tell me goodbye there was no better way

Kindly unspoken

You show your emotion
And silence speaks louder than words
It’s lucky I’m clever
Cause if I didn’t know better
I’d believe only that which I’d heard

Bridge:


So don’t keep me up till the dawn

With words that’ll keep leading me on
I know much better than to wait for an answer from you

Kindly unspoken

You show your emotion
And silence speaks louder than words
It’s lucky I’m clever
'Cause if I didn’t know better
I’d believe only that which I’d heard 


 "As high as the moon/ So high were my spirits / When you sang out my name" Oh, this song counts as one of those relatable songs during my, what I would say, "Lucas Eugene" days.


"Kindly unspoken/ You show your emotion/ And silence speaks louder than words" It was "kindly unspoken" that he would never reciprocate whatever feelings I had for him. In some ways the song served as the statement of the fact that my expectations were not in line with reality.

Like many other songs, this song helped me move on.
