© Helen E. Trevillion - 2006

Softly, softly, fingers seeking
Keys within a shifting sea
Somewhere they will never find me
A secret wrapped in ivory

And I am white and black and moving
Inside, outside, in-between
Beauty found when no one's listening
All this meant for only me

Here where I am loved
Here where I am needed
Here where I am beautiful

And I am every sound and silence
A secret born in ivory
Somewhere they will never find me
Somewhere they will never see

Here where I am loved
Here where I am needed
Here where I am beautiful

I am stillness forged in motion
Courage carved in ivory

This song is very personal to me. It more or less describes my feelings on creating art (music, in my case..), how it makes me feel, why I am driven to keep on creating. Art is a special thing.

As I said on your profile, I'm completely obsessed with this song now. It's absolutely wonderful. I keep listening to it over and over.

I heard this before in FatnKatayu's gallery (GOD, what an episode THAT was... >.> And I quite liked it then, though I never moved on it. >.> Hm. So, I suppose I shall this time, now that I've found the proper artist.

I like the tone and feel the song a lot. In fact, it makes me wish I knew how to play the piano. And the lyrics are simple, yet cryptic and poetic. Nothing complex, but enough to linger in your thoughts. The only thing I can mention is that for my preference, some of your words are a bit...pushed (ex. the word "wrapped" seems a bit forced, and the transition of "Where I"). But that's just the preference of my ears, so nothing to worry on. I'll stop critiquing now... >.>
