Words Needed and No Words Needed



We human have spoken and written languages to communicate and we have nonverbal communication. That is the process of communicating through sending and receiving wordless messages. Some times we seem not to need words and sometimes we not have words to express our feelings. Sometimes it's my lack of English vocabulary and sometimes I just not know what to say. This week I had some conversations with friends and the theme was much often about communication. It seems to be a week of words or no words.


With the word "WORD" in my head I surfed on the internet and found an album that was released in 1998 named: Scripture: No Word Needed. It is the first album of a solo project called Scripture by French Canadian composer Jean-Pierre Isaac. Track 5, "no word needed" is a instrumental one and track 10, "Words Needed", features a female singer only named Cusy (mistakenly written Cussy in the album). Not much is known about this singer, other than that she is Italian, and resides in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

SCRIPTURE: WORDS NEEDED lyrics

I can hear you
Can’t you hear me
I can feel you
Can you feel me
Your shadow
That I can’t see
But you’re nowhere near me

Where are, where are you
Where have you been all my life
Show me please show me
How to speak your language

Cause I just need the right words to get to your heart
Cause I just need the right words to get to your heart

Can you see me
Can you see me
I am right here right beside you
Can’t you see
Can’t you see
I have been trying to reach

Where are you, where are you,
Where have you been all my life
Show me please show me
How to pronounce your name

Cause I just need the right words to get to your heart
Cause I just need the right words to get to your heart

Where are you, where are you,
Where have you been all my life

I just need the right words to get to your heart
Cause I just need the right words to get to your heart
Cause I just need the right words to get to your heart
Cause I just need the right words to get to your heart

*************************************
The poem "NO WORDS NEEDED" by John W Townsend, I dedicate to Rod and Tim.

Did I hear you speak
before you opened your mouth
was it that I
know you so well,
yet sometimes
you manage to fool my mind
say something
quite off the wall.

After all these years
are we so in tune
that a look is longer
than a sentance,
and all the words
on a spell checker brain
could never
compete with our love.
