MILCK’s second original single, “Quiet”, is a response to the pressures society places on women, and a call for them to be their true selves.
During the Women’s March on Washington on January 21, 2017, there were several flashmobs of women singing this song together. They had practiced on the inter...
Quiet Annotated
[Intro]
Put on your face
Know your place
Shut up and smile
Don’t spread your legs
I could do that
[Verse 1]
But no one knows me no one ever will
If I don’t say something, if I just lie still
Would I be that monster, scare them all away
If I let them hear what I have to say
[Chorus]
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
A one woman riot, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can’t keep quiet
For anyone
Anymore
[Verse 2]
Cuz no one knows me no one ever will
If I don’t say something, take that dry blue pill
They may see that monster, they may run away
But I have to do this
[Chorus]
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
A one woman riot, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
[Bridge]
Oh I can’t keep quiet
*Let it out Let it out now*
*Let it out now*
There’ll be someone who understands
*Let it out Let it out now*
*Let it out now*
Must be someone who’ll understand
*Let it out Let it out now*
*Let it out now*
There’ll be someone who understands
*Let it out Let it out now*
*Let it out now*
[Chorus]
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
*Let it out Let it out now*
*Let it out now*
I can’t keep quiet, no oh oh oh oh oh oh
*Let it out Let it out now*
*Let it out now*
I can’t keep quiet
No, I won't keep quiet
Quiet Q&A
Who produced Quiet's ?
Quiet was produced by Nick Ruth.
What was the inspiration behind this song?
I had this nightmare that turned into a victorious dream. I was reenacting things that happened in my childhood, but then I would flip the script in my dream. So, I was getting hit, and there was someone watching me get hit. It was a very theatrical look. It was this black, New York theater. It was...
How doe MILCK feel about this song going viral?
I’ve been saying that I’ve been watching this song blossom on its own, way beyond me. This started off as my song, but it’s not my song. It’s our song. People have taken it on, and I have been watching all of this in awe. It’s almost like a spiritual experience as well and it reminds me of the power...
How does MILCK feel about this song becoming an anthem?
It doesn’t bug me that this song might be played for the next 30 years, but ask me again in 10 years. Maybe I l’ll have a different response, because it’s only been 2 ½ months. But I’m so grateful. I’ve been hustling as a musician for eight years, and I think songs are these amazing greeting cards....
