Cover art for Quiet lyrics by Rachael Yamagata

I came upon this song by chance, surfing the music store on iTunes. It is one of the songs that, no matter how many times you hear it, it's like listening to it for the first time! Every time I play it, I find myself wrought with emotion! It's so, so woefully, beautiful.

I agree with the previous posts; the song is about the realization that your relationship is over. And everything will go back to the same as if you were never there. There is no expectation of reconciliation, or making amends; only quiet loneliness…
