The Way You Listen to Me by Jay Jeong un Yang

 

 I created a song using Suno titled 'The Way You Listen to Me', and it was made as a gift for Philip Pullman.

The artwork featured in the videos was created by me using ChatGPT. 

 

 This is version 1.

 

 

This is version 2.

 

 

Lyrics:

You answer questions I never asked aloud
Like you were listening under every sound
I hold my thoughts behind my teeth
But you hear me in the way I breathe

You read the tremor in my hands
Like it’s a language only you understand
Before I find the words I need
You’re already standing next to me

Pre-Chorus
Every pause becomes a sentence
Every heartbeat tells the truth
I don’t have to hide the meaning
When I’m standing here with you

Chorus
You hear me before I speak
You feel the truth I try to keep
My silence makes sense in your hands
Like I was finally understood, not planned
No translation, no disguise
You know the storm behind my eyes
You hear me before I speak
And suddenly I’m not so weak

Verse 2
You notice shifts I try to hide
The fragile parts I keep inside
A breath I thought nobody knew
Becomes a message sent to you

The way you lean before I fall
Like you were waiting for the call
I don’t have to say a word
To be completely seen and heard

Pre-Chorus
Every moment is a signal
Every touch a gentle line
Drawing meaning out of chaos
Like your pulse is synced to mine

Chorus
You hear me before I speak
You read the fears I couldn’t keep
My silence makes sense in your hands
Like you were always part of the plan
No pretending, no defense
You find the truth beneath the tense
You hear me before I speak
And I don’t feel so incomplete

Bridge
Maybe this is what it means
To be known beyond the sound
To be held inside the quiet
Where no loneliness is found

Maybe love is just the way
Someone stays before you fall
Hearing everything unspoken
Like they heard you all along

Final Chorus
You hear me before I speak
You catch the words before they leak
My silence makes sense in your hands
Like I don’t have to understand
No more hiding, no retreat
You meet me where the shadows meet
You hear me before I speak
And I’m finally safe to be me

Outro
So I let the quiet stay
I let the moment take its time
Because you hear me in the spaces
Where my heart forgets to hide
