about

Eli sent a recording of a guitar track to his friend Clementine, and she sent back lyrics and a vocal track. A careful meshing of the two later, and they had this.

lyrics

Be Quiet

Don’t speak.
Without words, only touch is left,
And that can't be faked.

Be quiet to me
Oh, please, oh
Be quiet to me.
Hush your mouth,
Use it like this.

Stand still.
We’re easier to catch and keep
in a trap of is bare skin.

Don't speak. Just shhh.
Anything you could say now
could wake us from the dream.

CHORUS

In silence like this
everything pulses, booms and beats.
Can’t mishear fingers, no.

CHORUS

about

Elijah Cash Pleasanton, Texas

Eli mainly plays the blues. Not because it is his chosen or favorite method; rather, it's what life gave him—it was in the tool bag he was born with, if you will. Eli’s music is for lost boys and for women who want to be found. He’s pioneering the market of city slickers who feel something’s missing—because it is.

Eli is a contributing artist to the Crowdsource Inspiration project.
