about
Sanz Mantra's debut release, 'The Silent Crowd', beautifully addresses the sobering, timeless questions which often appear during moments of self-examination and personal reflection. Familiar emotions echo loudly throughout this song.
Featuring a real string quartet, The Silent Crowd is a sweeping, cinematic ballad about looking back to discover who you really are.
Released on October 1st 2021, The Silent Crowd is the first single taken from Sanz Mantra's upcoming album, Forever Could End.
lyrics
Did somebody let you down
When you fell they weren't around
Shed a tear without a sound
Did somebody let you down
Were you looking for a clue
Maybe just a better view
Were you left upon dry ground
Did somebody let you down
So dry your eyes and try again
To find just one you could call friend
Surrender all to the silent crowd
Did somebody let you down
And now you hold it in your hands
All you need to understand
Through wiser eyes you see the truth
Maybe all along you always knew
Maybe that somebody was you
