about

SPACE was written in 1977 as a plea to Benjamin's mother to stop pretending everything was OK, and to let him help her. He performed it in his acoustic live sets. That version appears on his 2010 ROCKHILL CD.

Thanks to Rob Stuart's brilliant arrangement and production, this version of SPACE evokes the emotions he felt, better than he could have imagined. The astral, glacial space between the words.

Thank you Rob Stuart!

lyrics

LYRICS by Elyce and Benjamin Russell

It's not things you talk about
That make me feel afraid
It's the things that you don't talk about
The things that you won't talk about
The feelings you've betrayed

It's the space between the words
Where you will seldom dare
In the space between the words
There's a darkness growing there

I know there's more inside of you
And you've glimpsed it once or twice
But you shiver when you think of it
You freeze up when you think of it
Your soul's encased in ice

It's the space between the words...

Everywhere you go
You know they know
Your humiliation
But you're not talking to them
Can't you see?
Talk to me

It's the space between the words...
