Voor de zomer bracht Silent Presence “Electric Heartbeat” uit. Nu brengen ze deze melancholische song “Fading Echoes” uit. Een song over mijmeren over wat was en wat kon zijn. Over beelden die vervagen in je geheugen, over mekaar uit het oog verliezen…
Een song met een sterke zang van Corina Baekeland. Een warme bas en synthwerk van Wim Guillemyn. Qua coherentie en harmonie één van hun sterkste songs tot nu toe. Verkrijgbaar op bandcamp en te bekijken op youtube. Halfweg september ook te beluisteren op spotify.

"Fading Echoes"
(Verse 1)
I hear the whispers in the wind,
A song from a time that might have been,
Faded photos in my mind,
Of a love I thought I’d never find.
(Chorus)
Oh, the echoes keep on fading,
Like a dream I’ve been chasing,
In the silence, I’m still waiting,
For the part of you I’m missing.
Oh, the past keeps on calling,
Through the rain and the falling,
Every step, I hear you saying,
“Don’t let go, don’t let go…”

(Verse 2)
I hold your letters, but the words are gone,
Like the sound of a distant song,
The memories are all I have,
But they’re slipping through my hands like sand.
(Chorus)
Oh, the echoes keep on fading,
Like a dream I’ve been chasing,
In the silence, I’m still waiting,
For the part of you I’m missing.
Oh, the past keeps on calling,
Through the rain and the falling,
Every step, I hear you saying,
“Don’t let go, don’t let go…”
(Bridge)

(Verse 3)
The streets we walked now feel so cold,
The story we wrote is growing old,
I search for you in the crowded night,
But you’re just a shadow out of sight.
I try to feel you in the quiet night,
But the warmth has faded from the light,
And all that’s left are pieces of you,
A broken heart I’m trying to glue.
(Chorus)
Oh, the echoes keep on fading,
Like a dream I’ve been chasing,
In the silence, I’m still waiting,
For the part of you I’m missing.
Oh, the past keeps on calling,
Through the rain and the falling,
Every step, I hear you saying,
“Don’t let go, don’t let go…”
(Outro)
I won’t let go.
