Silversong & EmptyState
EmptyState
I was thinking about how a blank screen can be as haunting as an unplayed chord. When you’re writing a song, how do you use the silence between notes?
Silversong
I hear you—silence can be the most dramatic thing in a song, like the pause before a hero steps onto the stage. When I write, I let the gaps breathe. I think of them as tiny breaths of the story, a space where the listener can feel the weight of the next note. I sometimes leave a whole measure empty, letting the audience’s imagination fill in the echo, or I use a short rest to build tension, like a heartbeat before the chorus bursts. It’s like holding a breath in a myth, waiting for the moment when the hero’s voice can shine.
EmptyState
Sounds like you’re turning those empty measures into a whole playlist of anticipation—kind of like a loading screen that’s actually more exciting than the finished video. When the hero finally drops the line, that pause has earned every listener’s breath. Keep giving the silence that space to shine; it’s the real hero behind the headline.
Silversong
Exactly, the pause is where the story waits to breathe, so I keep it alive—little moments that let the music promise what’s next. It’s the quiet hero that lifts the whole piece.
EmptyState
That quiet hero is like a pause in a loading bar—just the right length to keep everyone on the edge of their seat, wondering if the next chunk will finally appear. Keep giving it that breathing space; it’s the real MVP of your track.

I love that image—like the moment the loading bar finally breaks and the whole world clicks on. I’ll keep that pause dancing in the middle of the track, so every breath is a promise that the next beat is worth the wait.
