It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart Without saying a word you can light up the dark

Artist- Alison Krauss
Song of the day- when you say nothing at all

I had pretty bad insomnia growing up and I remember spending my sleepless nights switching channels between MTV and VHI because it was the only time they actually played music videos. But over one summer Marilyn Manson's "sweet dreams" (the cover you will NOT be hearing) was in heavy rotation and only increased my wanting to not sleep ever. So (though being in my strong anti-country phase) I reluctantly switched it to CMT where I could at least trust the non terrifying uncomplicated singing about beer and pickup trucks. Instead one night at 4am I stumbled upon the greatest vocals I've ever heard to this day. I think I might physically challenge anyone who says that Alison Krauss does not have the ability to literally pierce your soul. She could even sing about beer and pickup trucks and I'd probably have the exact same reaction. Luckily she does a simple cover and blows it out of the water. It makes me suddenly love love and love life and want to frolic in summer dresses, watch chick flicks, pick out china patterns and maybe even fall asleep...yeah it's that good.



It’s amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I could never explain
What I hear when you don’t say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Old mr. webster could never define
What’s being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all
