@katoi hey, you can find it here - https://lifehousefans.net/discog/jason-wade/ode-to-silence/windows/

Thanks to Shawn and Robert for transcribing the lyrics

@robert yes for sure. if this is about Jason, gosh my heart breaks for him. Do you guys remember when Head Movies was just released? I believe it was during that time. I remember Jason & Steve talking about they were recently heartbroken. I wonder if Jason being heartbroken referred to this situation.

Also, curious on the timing of these song being written. What are your guys thoughts? I think After the Deluge may be the oldest since it's about his father.

@shawn said in New album "Ode to Silence" is out now!:

@robert Wow! Nice job. I had a feeling it was you keeping up the pages over there. I'm guessing you were the Robert posting lyrics to AZ Lyrics as well? That sure came in handy putting this site together!

Here's the lyrics for "Windows" - this is definitely my favorite solo track.

Windows by Jason Wade
 
Whoever said, "this too shall pass" must be out of their minds
'Cause every day, every hour and minutes a climb
You said with a sigh
 
This was the room where she would've been sleeping tonight
Did we do something wrong?
Way too long nothing we didn't try
I just don't know why
 
And I still remember that look on your face
When the windows closed on us
And I don't know how long it's gonna take
And how long the waters will be rough
There will come a day when the sky opens up
Even if it's not like it was
We'll still be together when it does
Still together when it does
 
Whoever said, "time heals all things" must have a broken clock
'Cause we have been waiting awhile and the pain just won't stop
Yeah, it just won't stop
 
These were the clothes that she would've been wearing tonight
And this was the book with some text to get everything right
Yeah, we read it twice
 
And I still remember that look on your face
When the windows closed on us
And I don't know how long it's gonna take
And how long the waters will be rough
There will come a day when the sky opens up
Even if it's not like it was
We'll still be together when it does
Still together when it does
 
Whoever said, "this too shall pass" must be out of their minds
'Cause every day, every hour and minutes a climb
You said with a sigh
 
And I still remember that look on your face
When the windows closed on us
And I don't know how long it's gonna take
And how long the waters will be rough
There will come a day when the sky opens up
Even if it's not like it was
We'll still be together when it does
Still together when it does

Oh wow, Windows definitely my fav along with Ode to Silence. Jason's definitely talking about trying to get kids right? At least that's what comes to mind on my initial listen. And it hits right in the feels as my wife and I were also trying on our early years. Didn't expect to start my new year with being so emotional haha.

This record personally is much better than Paper Cuts. I love each track. I've been keeping a Think Piece, Crash to the Middle, One of these Days on repeat for so many times. That said, still don't like The Way that You Remember Me that much.

This collection of songs definitely fix my itch wanting for more Lifehouse songs. I don't mind if Jason go solo all the way after this tbh. Although we might not have the typical up-tempo, rock Lifehouse sound from Jason's solo records.

Woah a great read you guys. Love to see your reviews in this demo. Apart from the obvious favourite - The Place that I Fit In, I really like All The Same for its sinister undertone (like Goodbye). I wish Jason produce more songs like this.

IIRC, Jason wrote hundreds of songs during Almeria-OOTW era right? Wonder if we can listen to some of them some day? I know most fans don't really like Almeria too much, but it always has a soft spot for me. I really like the vibe it brings, just the lyrics are such a letdown.

@shawn Love this LP. Yes the muddy mixing is unfortunate, but I get used to it now haha. My picks from this bunch are Cut & Run, Static and Goodbye Kanan. I believe Dragonflies would sound wonderful in acoustic.
