Welcome back to another #MusicMonday! It’s not about books, but about music, and I’m looking forward to presenting you with a taste of my playlist. It’s the brainchild of Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek, but my inspiration comes from the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads. Every Monday, I’ll be choosing a song to share with you. The Spotify playlist is here and it will be updated as I go along.

Today’s track is a track released in my teenage years that I heard for the first time in a while the other day. I remembered how much I liked it and how much it resonated with me so I thought I should share it with you.

Electric Soft Parade: Silent To The Dark

Small talk on the radio
It seems I am going nowhere today

Small talk gets you nowhere choose
Between a curtain or a star
And I’m silent to the dark

‘Cause when I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone

Small talk on the radio
It seems I am going nowhere today
(Not today)
Small talk gets you nowhere
I’m silent to the dark and tepid
Only when you ask

‘Cause when I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone

When I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone

And you can do anything you want
Yeah you can anything you want
You can do anything you want
It doesn’t matter
It doesn’t matter

‘Cause when I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone
When I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone

When I needed someone
To talk to
To talk to
To talk to

‘Cause when I needed someone to talk to
You were the only one around
Small cost, it pays to be alone
