Lyrics:
Conscious quiet
Fails an expectation
I don't buy it
That we don't know for sure
Cause there's a voice in the silence
A voice in the silence
There's a voice in the silence
A voice in the silence
Call out no one
It's safer when we're guessing
Hide and go on
With nothing said as loud as you like
I want a conscious quiet in my soul
Silence all around me
coming back to this in 2024... Paul please do an album replaying these classics with your own solo twist please!
Every single fall season since the release of these songs, i play them over and over. They speak "autumn " to me
Interviewer: “So what instrument do you play?”
Paul: “Yes.”
Yuuuuuuup lol
Exactly the right comment. No others necessary
hes a singer with gimmicky chops on other instruments. i like him too.
lol
22 years ago I helped promote a concert featuring Paul when he was with the band "Earthsuit". The actual promoter mishandled marketing. I told him the way he wanted to promote the concert was problematic. He didn't listen to me or the wonderful couple who hired him to do the event.
It was in a local Gym in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I was working for a local radio station in Miami at the time. Ticket sales were the worst I've ever seen in my life. There was about 40 people in the Gym in attendance for the show. More than half of the 40 were concert volunteers.
To my utter shock 😲 and pleasure 🙏🏾 Paul Meany and Earthsuit rocked that stage like there was 20,000 in attendance. One of the best live concert performances I've experienced!
I felt so bad that only 20 to 30 people enjoyed that concert. There were two other bands: The Benjamin Gate and Ill Harmonics.
After the concert, we all went out to eat dinner at Denny's. I got a chance to sit down and chop it up with Paul Meany and the other bands. That was the Summer of 2001.
The Benjamin gate was pretty good too
@dosmastrify Yes, they were an amazing South African Christian rock band. Adrienne Liesching was the lead singer who soon after married Jeremy Camp.
I saw Earthsuit at a church near Seattle way back then. I loved that band so much and still listen to that record occasionally.
Probably, Paul Meany is the most talented musician of our generation
I would say him and Jacob Collier might very well be the most talented loop artist/multi-instrumentists, although they don't have the same style at all, but Paul is much more mature in songwriting terms.
Bernhoft is up there.
Can't agree more!
You can't stop what is MuteMath. It is an Energy an Idea and a force of nature. It can be one person or a combination of people. #WeAreMuteMath #TheEnergy #TheIdea
I'm with this guy! #WeAreMuteMath #MuteMathFambase
Julian RL Well said
I agree with your energy behind this comment - but I just wish Paul would be a solo act and keep the idea of what Mutemath was (and what it really meant to people like me, who hold it secret) in the past. He's evolved beyond, but this isn't MM.
@@Holmesymom Agreed 100%. He doesn't need the Mute Math tag - he stand on his own as a solo artist, and should let go of the past to concentrate on a solo career. I know how hard it is when bands broke up, I've been there, imagine breaking up with many lovers at one time...
But! Knowing the industry, and knowing how it feels... He have to let go. If anything, the name of the band is just weighing him down. He is Paul Meany. Mute Math is not there anymore. Bands comes and go. This isn't mute math, just like Paul McCartney isn't The Beatles, but it's just as good, unique, and personal.
I wish him to be able to let go instead of hanging on old ghosts and truly shine on his own!
#WeAreMuteMath
A professional artist's discipline is instantly apparent when you see it.
This feels like something off the self titled record in just about the best way possible. Who needs a band when you’re a genius?
An old song reworked actually. Originally part of whatever the second album was gonna be before they scrapped it. You can find old live videos of it if you search.
So true!
I was going to say that this sounds like a return to the original MUTEMATH.
@@lilmanjs166 Which is what is so interesting to me. I liked Armistice, but I LOVE the ep and self titled. Something about the retro mutemath sound is ONE OF A KIND. I love these guys. Hope Paul realizes how much we love and appreciate his musicianship and him giving us these videos.
Who remembers hearing Mutemath perform this song back in 2007 while on tour in support of their first record!? It's amazing how much the song has evolved 11 years later, from a group performance, to a performance by one man. As a long time fan, having seen this song performed live by the full band 11 years ago, and now seeing this video with Paul, simply killing it, I found myself getting emotional. It really speaks to me just how much MUTEMATH has meant to me over the years. #WeAreMuteMath #LongLiveMuteMath #MeanyIsAGenius
They have been there for every major event in my life, as the soundtrack, as the mirror of emotions and thoughts. I first heard them on New Year's eve 2006 and finally saw them live in 2016. Nothing comes even close to Mutemath and Paul's sound :).
Yo i used to run the biggestmutemath fan page back in the day! Ecstatic to see that this is being made!
I could not agree with you more.... I have been following Mutemath since it's inception and humble beginnings playing to empty crowds in their baby days. I love this band, the people I have met through their concerts and music.
Been following Paul since his Earthsuit days and never heard this one live. Beautiful.
@@FrostAndTheForest I COULD NOT AGREE MORE! I always felt like MM albums perfectly characterized what I was going through at that time in my life. Amazing.
I'm so torn. On one hand, I'm thankful Paul is keeping MM alive and this recreation of Voice in the Silence is exceptional. At the same time, I remembered hearing them play this song live as a full band back when I saw them in '06 or '07 and I can't help but feel like something is missing. Like the depressing thought that we'll never hear another collaboration between Paul, Darren and Roy ever again. Instead of bringing me pure happiness, now hearing new MuteMath makes me happy but also makes me incredibly sad. Is it just me?
No you are right there is a definate melancholy that's going down here bitter sweet
I see MUTEMATH - Paul Meany, I click, I like... and then I listen.
Oh my Lord, just goes to show, change hurts for some, but we're counting on, what's yet to come.
#ThereIsMore
Proud of you Paul.
Sounds like a Hillsong reference there.
@@Revdrum eyyyyyy, glad you caught that ;)
@@AlexPresa what do you mean by 'Hillsong reference'?
@@mangoteeth1290 #ThereIsMore (name of album)
I've been a fan ever since Earthsuit. Danced along with the changes. Change is inevitable. The only One who doesn't change is the only hope we have to change for the better.
It’s in Paul’s blood. He can’t quit. And we can’t quit listening.
Yo this is HOT. Glad it was in my recommended wtf do more of these music man
Daniel Thrasher on a MUTEMATH video?? Broooooooo i’m hitting a new territory of fanboying right here...
Danny please dig more into Mutemath's stuff if you haven't already. Stuff is insane, and Paul is a keys player if I've ever seen one! Top notch stuff
@@quizzically_ambiguous saw the Daniel thrasher comment thought your exact comment in my head, THEN I clicked the replies
@@fastronaut909 yes
Agree with all of you, been a mute math fan for over a decade, saw them live twice (which was magical.) Paul has been collabing for 21Pilots, but he should continue his own masterpieces again, his talent is beyond 🎉
I still remember the first time I heard Earthsuit. Been a fan ever since.
Dude... it's almost impossible to believe how talented Paul is... MUTE MATH FOR LIFE
Still listening to this and MuteMath’s entire discography. Soundtrack to my life.
Amazing. Like layers of a beautiful and delicious cake. Reminds me of a mixture of Sting (from "Dream of the Blue Turtles"), early Radiohead, Peter Gabriel, and The Police. What a talented guy. Thank you.
Paul keeps dropping these things right when I'm at a creative low, and then it gives me that spark I need to get excited to create again. What an inspiration this man is, given the circumstances of this band in the past few years. Keep going, Paul. Mutemath isn't done, not by a long shot. This track is killer.
Paul has mentioned time and time again that Darren King on the drums has been 1/3 of Mutemath's sound, and to expect future Mutemath tracks to fill the gaping hole he left (along with Roy) is asking too much. Play Dead was an excellent album for a band with decades of experience and after the others' departure Paul's initial foray alone in determining what Mutemath is about looked a little lackluster at first -- Props to Hutch, he's more than serviceable, but the dynamic has changed. A lot.
That being said I really think this track is truly exceptional. At first it didn't blow my expectations out of the water because the studio solo for "Everything's New" Paul put out a few months before this set such a high bar to clear, maybe because it was the first of firsts. Also, I love trip-hop/chillout, and I felt that he was definitely influenced by Air and other downtempo artists from that era. Additionally, the video distracts from the production, in a good way though, as it showcases his artistry and production).
But believe me when I say once I played the fuck out of it on Spotify with the intent to just vibe with it, I appreciated the changes that he made to the original. I like the layers and the mood it imbibes, which lends itself to replayability. It's kind of understated greatness in four minutes. And I'm just happy that it highlights Paul's vocals too, again, not in a in-your-face kind of way.
I just want to say thanks for everything, Mr. Meany. I wish more people knew of your talent.
Hope you keep the ship sailing, captain, it's a delight to see you're doing so well post-quasi hiatus.
Obviously the song would change given the departure of the rest of the band and the effect time has on a musician's sensibilities....but he went into it a little bit on a live stream a while back. It turns out that the method he used to do this live-looping stuff caused him to need to change how he orchestrated and arranged the songs. Every instrument and phrase has to be introduced in its own moment in the song. That alone dictated how this song would have to be built. It's kind of cool that he was able to do this given all of the different technological and creative constraints.
Paul, I don't know if you see these comments, but if you do, I just want you to know this: 2018 was such a painful year for me. It was too much, too fast, and I started losing faith in my ability to survive the pain. But when I listen to your music, I can tell you've crossed through many dark places too -- only to find yourself abandoned, relying entirely on your own strength and drive, to continue creating such beautiful, inspiring music. If you can weather it, so can I. You give me hope & I'm grateful for you 💙
Gold, as always, Mutemath. I'll always light up for you.
i finally found you again..........after years of abstinence of your music i forgot the bands name 😂😂😂😂
i googled: Drummer Duct ----> and mutemath came as the result 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Paul, I wish you only the best, for you, your family, your music and your life. Thank you so much for the pure embodiment of your soul through your own way of doing the music you like. Greetins from Argentina!!
Argentinian fan here too🙋
Crazy user of loops and dynamics. I get the "he played every instrument" jokes now
Miss u with other guys Paul. This....is phenomenal though
Paul, you are an absolute inspiration.
One of the best things I've heard and seen surrounding music in my almost 50 years of music appreciation
Paul will not be denied. Looking forward to any and everything he has on his mind
Paul has always been a musical genius in my eyes. This song is incredibly beautiful and I'm so happy to see he is going forward with Mutemath. He did an amazing job of producing Twenty One Pilots' latest record!
Blows my fucking mind.The layering of sounds/vocals/keys is pure bliss.
Paul, you're a production genie my man. This recording, and you, are incredible
Looks like one person accidentally hit the dislike button. The one you were looking for is a little to the left! Seriously, this is the best MM song to come out in years. If this is a sign of things to come for Paul as a "one man band" I'm just fine with that!
Paul is one of the most talented artists out there. Thanks for doing these tunes. Almost like listening to the first album but more mature...
This is absolutely the epitome of talent; and the message of hope is delivered brilliantly in this masterpiece of music. MM continues to blow me away after years of listening. Absolutely EPIC track Paul. You were born to do this. Thank You for sharing your God given talent with the world 😎
When the band quits but you don’t need a band anymore because you have evolved to level 100 and absorbed there talents over the years...
Sleep Machine 😂👌
Paul is the Alpha Mutemath
Did they quit, or did he just fire them all? 😑😑😑
Bro exactly LOL
@@MultiCrimsonRain I believe they only quit touring, but they still contribute to studio albums.
MY HEART IS EXPLODING WITH JOY! Quality, meaningful, and blissful - as expected. Thank you, brother!
SAME
WHY IS THIS BAND NOT FAMOUS
This song, like all mutemath songs, filled a void I didnt know I had. Super excited for the new chapter for mutemath!
*This deserves millions of views.*
Come oooon! That was awesome!!! This song encapsulates the MuteMath sound in every way! Well done Paul Meany!!
I love 100% what Mutemath has put out over a decade, but this song just gives me nostalgic vibes of some of my favorite earlier days. I love this direction.
This..... is not what I was expecting to happen. But I'm so glad it's what happened.
Can y'all imagine a whole live concert like this?!? Paul playing drums with his left hand, singing, and playing piano with his right hand. I'm shook😭😭😭😭
4:31 minutes of perfect perfection. Chills at 3:37 at Paul's heavenly voice. Mutemath always delivers something for me to obsess over.
Paul please keep going.
My soul is blessed. Thanks Paul for giving us hope that Mutemath is still alive and well. Keep going man!!! We are all behind you guys
Mutemath is my new obsession! I only knew "Typical" before, but I've discovered there is so much more exceptional music by Paul Meany; wow!
Paul Meany is an absolute legend and soldier.. Long live Mutemath no matter who is or isn't in the band.
Wow, this is classic MuteMath. This is mighty reminiscent of the the EP. Can't wait to have this! I hope it's released on cd.
Thank you so much for this, Paul. I’ll always be a fan of MM.
Very excellent.
I didn't know my ears could drool. Just found out after this songgggg SOOO GOOD
Hey, its Chris Hau. I love your energy brother.
frequency designing legend. what a journey. love you paul.
This sounds more like @MUTEMATH than anything I've heard since their debut record. The style may have evolved, but the feeling takes me back over a decade. As they say, the show must go on... and I thank Paul for taking what must be a daunting dive into the unknown and allowing that to happen for not just the fans, but himself.
#nostalgia #chills #voiceinthesilence #genius
Yes I like......Meany Melody cannot be denied
Would love to see them live again. I hope one day they can reunite!
Wow! And Thank You, Paul
This reminds me of the Reset EP. As many have said in the comments, it's like Paul absorbed everyone's music capabilities, added a loop pedal, and became a musical Megazord.
How freakin GOOD is this??
Brilliant, brilliant stuff! One of the best mathmute songs in this version...this man should do a solo album!
Soo good!! I'm so happy you're putting out music again. Loved your work on Twenty One Pilots and I'm so excited to hear what else you have in store for us. Now you just need to tour with TOP again and I'll be extremely excited
Some ten years ago I saw an amateur live video of a show as MM played that song. Back then I was disappointed, that they didn't do a sudio version. Therefore I'm happy now, that Mr. Meany decided to do so. Sounds a lot like the old stuff, which I appreciated a little more than the later work. Thanks anyway for your music.
And from the ashes rose a figure, faintly illuminated by the coming dawn. Slowly, softly, he spoke "I'm not don't yet".
i cant help it but to come back here now and then... aways remember this powerful music! I wanted more of this, paul, please!!!
I’d happily watch Paul Meany do a solo like this live. What a genius!!
Glad to hear you bring this song out again...and a totally different version than the live versions you guys used to play. God bless you Paul!
Such Talent. Met Paul and Darren before, great guys. MUTEMATH has always been awesome.
Love this!!! We are a band of MUTEMATH fans. Please come back to Canada.
Absolutely MINDBLOWIN how fantastic this band is...Consistently!
Now this sounds like the Mutemath I fell in love with years ago. Great job Paul, keep it coming.
That's a lot of talent for one human to have
OMG Paul, you're rocking it! You're a one man band. I'm so happy to be alive at the same time like this genius. I still hope to see you live with the other guys again though. But I'll follow you whatever. You're such an inspirstion. Please never stop to create music.
YESSS!!! Thank you, Paul. We love you!!! If you tour, come to California please! I'll be there. I'll find a way. Haha! 💛🎶😁
Don't ever stop creating music Paul...
This reminds me of the old days of mutemath 😍
Paul will always be an amazing songwriter. I'm certain of that!!
“Is there a voice in the silence?” Yes, “There’s a voice in the silence” Maybe Paul’s way of telling us that it’s not over, but “Everything’s New”?
Paul is undoubtedly my favorite musician to exist
Toasterness Studios same here man
he's a genius
Paul Meany you are a fucking legend. Enjoy your silence and please keep bringing us this divine noise.
Mutemath you are huge in terms of musical calibre! And paul meany sounds all the qualitative notes!quality=mutemath!
The truest form of just an amazing musician. Paul's brilliance just shines in this video.
I've waited for so many years for this song to finally make it on a record! It takes me back to 2008. Good Times! Love this song!
So uh...stuff like this reminds me I'd buy a solo project/album pretty much immediately. Yes.
yeah shut up and take my money
The amount of talent you posses is mind blowing.
I would love to see a rig rundown and hear how you do this. I think that could be a really good piece of content that a lot of people would find fascinating.
I’m glad you’re still making good art and rolling with the punches in light of the band member shifts.
You do good work. Keep it up!
You fake it till you make it. :))))
Thank you so much for making this video! It’s fantastic! Mutemath is our biggest inspiration for making music. Keep it up!
Paul...man...you're killing it again! I can't believe what comes out of you. So incredible!
incredible
This imagery is as heartbreaking as it is inspiring. Keep going, Paul!
This is magical. I have nothing else to say other than Paul is a mad scientist!
Pure genius.
Seriously underrated!!
Wonderful looping creations 🙏
LOVE IT
That's the sound that inspires. Thank you, Paul Meany, for creating magic.
thanks for staying the course, worried we had lost the MATH
Paul Meany, I've been a fan of Mutemath for a long time. You continue to inspire people in new ways by keeping the phenomenon that is Mutemath alive for all of your fans. Even after Darren left, you keep the machine rolling! I salute you, and I hope your music will find it's way to the farthest corners of the universe. -Forever a Mutemath fan!
From a video i stumbled on this song is from like 2007 and they used to gig it, wicked to hear a studio version of it now! Massive!
19 people miss DK, GH, RMC and TG. Maybe I do too but how can you not like this!?!? We still have PM! Keep the dream alive bro!
Mind officially blown. Love this guy and his style!
This is just an incredible display of talent, experience, and genius.
“Mutemath as it was is gone. But I believe there are a few pieces that will build something beautiful and that’s what I’m after this year.”
