about

After watching the latest season of The Crown, I was drawn deeply into the tragedy of Princess Diana's relationship to Prince Charles and the Royal Family. I felt for her sense of isolation and frustration. After receiving the song prompt, "catharsis" from my friend Dave Madden, I knew that I wanted to write about the letting go of that relationship and how difficult it must have been.

lyrics

UNSPOKEN (Noëlle Hampton)

You collected me
A pretty thing for all to see
But you were never what I’d hoped you be
She always had your love
It’s a bitter thing
That you break my one unbroken wing
And sever every single heartstring
One by one by one

It’s over now, I knew somehow
I’d rise from a life unspoken
We burned it down to save ourselves
And mend our hearts so broken

If I could sweat you out
I would have danced until there was no doubt
All I dreamt of was to breakout
‘Cause she always had your love
I tried everything
Just ‘cause they say it doesn’t make you king
And I was left without a working wing
You took them one by one

It’s over now, I knew somehow
I’d rise from a life unspoken
We burned it down to save ourselves
And mend our hearts so broken

I’ll admit that I was naive for a time
I wish I could have drawn a stronger line
But you were always hers and never mine
Truth comes out in time.

It made you insane
That all they cared about was my name
‘Cause I was love and you were deep shame
They left you one by one

It’s over now, I knew somehow
I’d rise from a life unspoken
We burned it down to save ourselves
And mend our hearts so broken
When I look back now, I knew somehow
I’d rise from a life unspoken
We burned it down to save ourselves
And mend our hearts so broken
