I sing and play mandolins, tenor banjo and the guitars.
I produced this at my home with Band in a Box and Reaper.
The Silent Man (words Keijo Blomberg, music Esa Blomberg 1980)
He is always so alone in the middle of the company.
He stares at the foam of his pint even now.
If he ever tries to say something,
then the neighbor next to him wins with his voice.
That's why he raises his pint to his lips again,
he doesn't want to repay evil with evil,
he doesn't want to repay evil with evil.
He listens to stories with pleasure all right,
his own skills don't extend that far.
It's a miracle of wonders that he remembers them all,
when from hour to hour the talking just goes on.
And the steins are drunk drained again,
and new ones are brought to the tables,
and new ones are brought to the table.
So everyone goes around telling tales
and the silent man listens to them.
That's why the most important person in the company is who knows,
it's just that silent man.
That's why the most important person in the company is who knows,
it's just that - silent man.
