Listen
Paul Bryan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen in the Places You Hide
Woah, Oh, Oh, Listen Through the Stillness Inside
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah Listen to the Words That Are Near
And Try to Hear

Listen Take One Less Step Away
Please Listen Love May Persuade You to Stay
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Baby Listen Past the Sound of Your Fear
And Try to Hear

Two Hearts That Doubted Now Beg to Believe
Acting in Silence, Each Whispers a Plea
Secrets of Longing Kept Buried Away
Sadly Their Calling Grows Weaker Each Day

Yeah, Please Listen For Hope That's Been Left Behind
Listen to the Small Traces You Find
Yeah, Yeah, Baby, Please Listen Before This Chance Disappears
And Try to Hear

Listen in the Places You Hide
Yeah, Listen Through the Stillness Inside
Please, Please Baby Listen For the Love That Is Near
And Try to Hear

Yeah, Listen
Whoa, Listen
Please, Baby Listen




Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Baby Listen
Past the Sound of All Fears and Try to Hear

Overall Meaning

The song "Listen" by Paul Bryan is about taking time to listen to your heart and the world around you. The repetition of the word "listen" throughout the song emphasizes the message of its importance. The lyrics encourage the listener to listen to the words that are near, the stillness inside, and the love that is near. The song pleads with the listener to pay attention and try to hear what may be hidden or buried away. Two hearts that once doubted now beg to believe and the secrets of longing that were once buried are growing weaker each day. The song is a reminder to listen closely to the world and to your inner voice because it may lead you to the love or hope that you have left behind.

Sérgio Sá, meu irmão, compôs a melodia e eu escrevi a letra. O arranjo que Sérgio fez ganhou o espaço! Foi trilha de novela e fez muito sucesso. Nós nem acreditavamos pois ouvíamos a música no rádio o tempo todo. Foi um tempo lindo. Saudades de meu irmão que faleceu em 2018.

Eliana Sá, eu estava correndo os comentarios em busca de informações sobre o cantor, e sou brindado com a tua presença. Parabéns, e obrigado por ter nos dado canção tão maravilhosa, que embalou meus sonhos de adolescente nos anos 70. Ouvir novamente essa melodia, me transportou novamente para os braços de quem muito amei!

Daniel Alexandre Gonçalves

Muito obrigado pelo belo trabalho, pena que não existem mais anjos como a senhora e o seu saudoso irmão que compõem musicas como essa para nós nos dias de hoje!

Mimi de Oliveira

Esse cantor é nascido na minha cidade, (Fortaleza-Ceará). Pena que já se foi para o andar de cima ⏫️ 😇😇😇😇

É da época do Hits Brasil, eu sabia que era de um cantor brasileiro, mas depois que comprei computador em 2012 é que fiquei sabendo detalhes dele, tinha uns que agente conhecia mais porque cantavam em português antes tipo o Jean Carlo que foi o Edward Cliff e alguns que apareciam na televisão.
