Speak To The Wind — Acoustic Alt Rock for Facing Fear

Acoustic alternative rock for facing fear — a hypnotic 7/8 fingerpicked build and a calm, unshakable voice. A fingerpicked steel-string figure in 7/8 over a frame-drum heartbeat opens it, then a strummed second guitar, acoustic bass and hand percussion lift the chorus with stomps and claps. Shifting 7/8 and 5/4 passages, an interlocking acoustic instrumental, and a hushed, mantra-like bridge that builds pass by pass into the final chorus. Acoustic instruments only. It's about the voice of fear — always certain, never kind — and answering it without running and without raising a fist. Stand in it. Speak to it like it has to listen. Fear is loud, but it doesn't know how this ends. Press play. Stand in it. Lyrics --- Plastic chair and a clipboard Name not called, not yet Every worst thing I can picture Standing in a line inside my chest There's a voice that says it knows the ending It's always certain, never kind It talks the fastest when I'm quiet It's the loudest thing I'll ever find I heard of someone sleeping through the thunder Who woke up and talked the water down Didn't raise his fist, didn't run for the shore Just stood and spoke, and the sea lay down So SPEAK TO THE WIND Like it has to listen Put your hand out on the water Tell it that's enough You don't have to win it You just have to stand in it SPEAK TO THE WIND There's a man who'd love to watch me falter And I could meet him blow for blow But I was shown another way of fighting With a steady hand and a voice kept low You can't scare a man who isn't hiding You can't break the ones who choose to bend I'll love him like it costs me nothing 'Cause the fear in him is fear I've been I heard of someone sleeping through the thunder Who woke up and talked the water down Didn't raise his fist, didn't run for the shore Just stood and spoke, and the sea lay down So SPEAK TO THE WIND Like it has to listen Put your hand out on the water Tell it that's enough You don't have to win it You just have to stand in it SPEAK TO THE WIND Be still Breathe slow Fear is loud But it doesn't know Be still Breathe slow How this ends Is not its to know (be still... breathe slow...) (fear is loud... but it doesn't know...) So SPEAK TO THE WIND Like it has to listen Put your hand out on the water Tell it that's enough You don't have to win it You just have to stand in it SPEAK TO THE WIND SPEAK TO THE WIND (that's enough) Plastic chair... name not called... and I'm not afraid --- Cover art and visuals for this release are AI-generated. --- Mawxy is an anonymous music project — no face, no story, just sound.
