about

This pop anthem has the simplest arrangement on "No Longer Silent." The upbeat intro kicks off with ukulele, guitar, drums, and bass. Giana sings the first verse solo, and is joined in the chorus by her closest friends as guest vocalists. "There was no night like Saturday night, but the lights have long flickered out." The words are a bit pensive, reflecting on something the group has lost. We then have another verse with Giana singing solo, and another group chorus. The group continues to sing together on a section of "oh's" that lead us into the bridge. The bridge is a call an answer between Giana and her friends "We've got music to play -- we need ears that'll listen." This brings us to a powerful a capella chorus that the group sings together with nothing but drums and hand claps underneath it, and a final full chorus comes in by overlapping the last word of the a capella one. The anthem ends with a strong proclamation by the entire group: "At least we stand our ground."

lyrics

LYRICS:
Here we go - out the door again! My lipstick's on, and I'm ready to play, just say when. We - oh, we're lining up. You can't put a price on doing what you love.

(chorus)
There was no night like Saturday night, but the lights have long flickered out. You've crowned your king. I don't wanna sing and shout in this ghost town. You built us up to let us down. Why expect us to stick around? Let the dust collect. No, we're not perfect, but at least we stand our ground.

Uh-oh. Oh, what have you done? The door's boarded up, but it felt like we just begun. The charm's gone. Oh, it's a shame, and we have his damn spiteful hand to blame.

(chorus)

We've got music to play. We need ears that'll listen. We've got bills to pay. We want a cozy tradition. We've got words to say. We don't need any permission. Sorry it's gotta be this way, but he stole her position. We're still on a mission.

(chorus 2x)
