"Silent All These Years"- Tori Amos

Song of the Day


Years later, when I played Israel, I was in an airport bathroom when a Middle Eastern woman came up to me. She said, "Don't think we're not listening. We pass your music behind closed doors to each other and it's something secret that we know, so don't stop." "Silent All These Years" was one of the songs that she mentioned. In those moments, it puts in perspective the twentysomething in me, who was more focused on the charts than the power of music. I just didn't comprehend the value in my mind of a Middle Eastern woman stopping me and saying that to me: "Don't stop."
