From the recording Forbidden Songs
A Quiet Place is one of the most introspective moments on the upcoming Forbidden Songs album, scheduled for release in August 2026.
Built around a melodic bassline, restrained guitars, mournful violin passages, and a sense of quiet resignation, the song explores the places we carry within us long after the people and moments connected to them have disappeared. It is not a song about loss alone, but about memory - the way certain streets, voices, and afternoons continue to exist somewhere beyond time.
Drawing inspiration from the melancholic side of early post-punk and darkwave, A Quiet Place combines understated emotion with a lingering atmosphere of nostalgia. Rather than looking for answers, it reflects on what remains: fragments of youth, familiar routines, and the silent spaces where memories return uninvited.
A song for late evenings, empty roads, and the moments when yesterday suddenly feels closer than today.
Lyrics
The afternoon slips into grey
Another summer fades away
I pass the houses one by one
And think of days that came undone
The park is smaller than before
The paint is peeling from the door
The years have moved so fast somehow
But everything feels distant now
There's a quiet place inside my mind
Where I still leave the world behind
A quiet place I sometimes find
When yesterday comes back tonight
A passing car, a familiar song
Can bring the feeling back along
For just a moment I can see
The person I used to be
There's a quiet place inside my mind
Where I still leave the world behind
A quiet place I sometimes find
When yesterday comes back tonight
The faces change, the roads move on
The conversations all are gone
But something stays beneath the years
A trace of laughter in my ears
There's a quiet place inside my mind
Where I still leave the world behind
A quiet place I sometimes find
When yesterday comes back tonight
A quiet place
A quiet place
When yesterday comes back tonight
