Listened to both songs… wow. Just, wow.
When did he write these?
Ken Silva doesn’t strike me as the contemporary soft rock kind of guy. This is surprising to say the least.
They’re not bad. I like the second one better, probably because it has an XTC flair to it..
PS, if you know who XTC is, you’re probably lame like I am.
Why can’t you guys give a guy props?
Its not my style either, but it is well produced and he has a good voice.
Thanks, Ken!
Not bad. Not bad. Sort of humanizes you Ken!
I know. The first song is an allegory like the Song of Solomon.
Surprisingly beautiful.

Doesn’t surprise me at all.
personally I like everything from classical to some of the softer metal ballads (that really depends however). Just no metal. LOVE the now defunct Harvest (Jerry Williams and Ed Kerr) and the OLD Steve Taylor.
I find classical in general far more stirring because of its depth and difficulty however. There is nothing as worshipful to me as performing in something like the Messiah or Bach’s St Matthew Passion, or even Mozart’s Requiem, and being so in tune with the conductor that I forget to turn pages (if we have music) or suddenly getting to the end and wondering where all the time went.
Or performing a sacred solo aria and forgetting everyone else is there. I guess it’s about as close as I come to contemplative prayer.
PB I wasn’t making fun. The songs aren’t bad, that’s my comment.
