On ‘QUIET’
“QUIET” talks about the way in which life is overwhelmingly busy, how at times I struggle with a mind that is chaotic and repetitive. In the midst of it all I have discovered the ability to tone everything down and block out the noise by spending time with a person who keeps it all at bay when I’m with them. For that I consider myself very lucky to have discovered some respite through a relationship with someone who is so important to me; it’s a privilege and I wanted express that in this song. – Chubby Cat
