about

When I was in college, I discovered the band School of Fish who was signed to Capital Records. One of my favorite songs was Speechless. In 1995, I moved to Boston to attend Berklee College of Music. It turns out that Bostonian Josh Clayton-Felt was one of the songwriters in this band. In the late 90s I would play solo acoustic performances at the Kendall Cafe or the Burren, and throw in Speechless. I hope Josh and his mates would approve of this recording. The world lost a massive talent way too early to cancer... RIP Josh Clayton-Felt.

lyrics

I'm flying over the city
In a suit and tie
And don't my dog look pretty
But thats just a dog's life
The world outside is red
But my room is blue
And it will keep me safe
But I don't know from who

And sometimes I find what I need
Sometimes I don't find anything
But I'm waiting on that day to come
I'm waiting on my heart to sing
Now I'm speechless
I am tongue-tied
I am speechless
And it's all bottled up inside

Another drink
Would make me feel much worse
But maybe thats just what I need
To break this awful curse
And in my one room apartment
High above this town
I'm always trying to use
The things that will bring me down

And sometimes I find what I need
Sometimes I don't find anything
But I'm waiting on that day to come
I'm waiting on my heart to sing
Now I'm speechless
I am tongue-tied
I am speechless
And it's all bottled up inside

It's all bottled up inside
And I feel half alive
I can't open my eyes
I'm getting lost in this disguise

And sometimes I find what I need
Sometimes I don't find anything
But I'm waiting on that day to come
I'm waiting on my heart to sing
Now I'm speechless
I am tongue-tied
I am speechless
And it's all bottled up inside

I am speechless
I am tongue-tied
I am speechless
And it's all bottled up inside
