Story Behind The Song
Listening to music today, it seems that less and less music is talking about anything. It's driven by it's beat. We get repearted lyrics over a repeated beat. Less talent is being displayed and more about the gimic you can create. We are pleading to the listening audience to listen....and bring meaning back to music
Song Description
Song is about listening all the way through. You can't get the story if you only see the intro of a movie, you can't define a good relationship in the first two days, you can't receive nutrician from a microwave dinner. It's about taking your time and listening to the words and having the words touch you in only ways that we each can interpret them.

Lyrics
1st Verse
Did you ever take the time to
Listen all the way through
Like the very first time
You read a love letter
Did you ever think for a minute
That my words make a difference
And maybe I wrote them
To get a little closer to the truth and you
Chorus
But You
You don?t hear what I singing
Oh but you
You don?t take the time to feel me
Oh but you
Think my words just don?t matter
I?m writing for you, yeah
I?m writing for you
2nd Verse
What do I need to say to
Pull your soul closer (pull your soul)
So many moments lost
What the cost of lost devotion
You say that you?re listening
But your silence, it tells me
That you really, oh really
Really, really not inside my world
Chorus
Poem
I met a soul the other day
Who said the words don?t matter
In any particular way
Words that connect us
East and West
Sinners and Saints
Lovers and Cheaters
All of us without seeing
Chorus
Ending
The word the rhythm?the?the?the rhythm (repeat to end)
