Description

We wrote Unsaid to explore how fear of expressing emotions can lead to unhappiness. Many people stay in unfulfilling relationships or suffer in silence with their mental health because they’re afraid to voice their true feelings. This fear creates distance and misunderstanding.

Bio

A duo from the North-East of England influenced by the jingly jangly shambolic music scene of the 1980s whilst embracing all genres of music from the past, present and future.”

Lyrics

Unsaid (2025 version) It’s going to happen It’s just a matter of time Maybe now or maybe later The time will come. It’s going to happen It’s just a matter of time Scared to spoil it Tell myself it’s going to be fine We been dancing round this moment for a long while we shake we stumble We shiver, and we fumble. Is this the wrong time? It’s going to happen It’s just a matter of time Maybe now or maybe later The time will come. It’s going to happen It’s just a matter of time Scared to spoil it Tell myself it’s going to be fine We’ve been deciding whether this could be the right time. This feeling’s sinking As I keep thinking I’m the wrong guy. It’s going to happen It’s just a matter of time Maybe now or maybe later The time will come. It’s going to happen It’s just a matter of time Scared to spoil it Tell myself it’s going to be fine No one has seen us Have they noticed that we’re Eye to eye. Smiling side by side Let’s Think about it Think a little bit more. With all these questions We just need to be sure. Unsaid It’s going to happen It’s just a matter of time Maybe now or maybe later The time will come. Unsaid It’s going to happen Just a matter of time Scared to spoil it Tell myself it’s going to be fine It’s going to happen.
