Nothing Fades (34 Negations) Lyrics


Turning the wheel to emptiness
There when you breathe your final breath
No one to hold you anymore
Haven't they told you, babyYou're always alive
Always aliveLeaving the plane of time and space
Leaving the mask of every face
Just like the sun and every ray
Might as well smile 'cause babyWe all die one day
We all die one dayNot square, not round
The silence in the sound
Not short, not long
The quiet in the song
It carries you alongSome of the people here believe
Reading a book of prophesies
Some of you sigh and turn away
Nobody knows, so what's the play?You're here now
You're here for nowWhat does it matter anyway
Whatever I sing or what you say

Taking a chance, we place a bet
It ain't gonna get you to black or redThis time around
This time aroundNo cause, no condition
Who knows your position?
Not you, no other
What will you discover?You never disappear
So tell me why you fear
Neither are you born
Sometimes still you mournNever do you arise
You're never low or high
No one acts, no one is made
Nothing glows, nothing fadesNothing fades, nothing fades
Nothing fades, nothing fades

Duncan Scott Sheik (born November 18, 1969) is an American singer-songwriter. Born in Montclair, New Jersey, Sheik's upbringing was split between his parents' home in South Carolina and that of his grandparents in New Jersey. His grandmother, a piano graduate of The Juilliard School, taught him to play the piano and encouraged his musical development. He graduated from Phillips Academy in 1988, after which he studied semiotics at Brown University.

Sheik began his professional musical career playing for other acts, including Liz And Liza (with Lisa Loeb and Liz Mitchell), and played on His Boy Elroy's 1993 album. Through connections from fellow Brown alum Tracee Ellis Ross, Sheik's music gained the attention of executives at Atlantic Records. Duncan Sheik's eponymous debut album for Atlantic spawned the 1996 hit single "Barely Breathing" in the US, which remained on the charts for 55 straight weeks. In 1998, he was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Barely Breathing."

In addition to his work as a solo artist, he collaborates with the poet and writer Steven Sater. Together, they have written an album of art-pop songs, ''Phantom Moon'', a Broadway musical, ''Spring Awakening'', and the score for the film ''A Home at the End of the World''. They are currently working on a new musical based on the story of "The Emperior and the Nightingale", which will have its workshop premiere in 2007 at the La Jolla Playhouse.

As of 2009, Whisper House is the sixth studio album recorded by Duncan Sheik, released in the United States on January. The album is Sheik's first for the RCA Victor label, as well as his first in the wake of success from composing music for the Tony award-winning musical Spring Awakening.
