about

Marc Silver is living proof that singer/songwriters don’t need to shout outrageously shocking lyrical lines in order to attract well-deserved attention. Naïve Lovers is filled with mostly quiet acoustic songs, featuring little more than strummed or picked guitars and Silver’s can’t-ignore-it voice. His confessional songs draw you in, rather than drag you along… He has great skill at getting deep inside the heads of his characters and looking at the world the way they would. Naïve Lovers reveals a truly noteworthy artist that walks quietly, but carries a big gift.” Dan MacIntosh, [Music Journalist]

lyrics

I’m in the mood for a friend, only my pen seems to listen
And the paper that it’s staining, and I feel all alone but satisfied
At the end of the day, it can feel so gratifying
A little stillness and some silence, to watch it all slowly fade away.

Chorus
Hmm, I’m lying, with a picture of you by the fire
Life seems to flicker in your face.

It’s a warm winter eve. You’ve a blanket on your shoulders
Knitting one more for your soldier, who lay alone underneath a foreign sky

While you’re across that Harlem moon, far away from your lover
And your heart it waits under cover, till he lay once again inside your arms

Well I’m sitting out of sight, just the light from my candle
Twists and turns on my table, trying so hard to take flight
But we’re all bound to this land, on the tides of the ocean
Rise and fall on emotion, it’s the same little devil every time

Hmm, I’m lying, holding pictures of you by the fire
Life seems to flicker in your face

It’s a lovely quiet night, and my stillness brought me longing
For my lover’s heart beat throbbing, I lay my ear soft & gentle on her chest
