When Silence Took Over · Cay Jo & The Void
Cay Jo & The Void have produced a jazzy ska influenced classic that is all at once tuneful and breezy but also sad and despairing. 'When Silence Took Over' talks of the pressure to dazzle friends with sparkling conversation. It focuses on a person who seemingly wants to avoid focus. This wallflower seems more at ease keeping her thoughts to herself. Her friends can only wait in awkward silence before she speaks again. In contrast to the story that is being told, the music is tender and sympathetic. A comforting song to anyone who just wants to be accepted.
