“Tear me open, and tell me who it is you see,” sings 3Mind Blight, as he opens up his psyche for all of us to peer into.

The lyrics are in your face and very personal, even coming from 3Mind Blight.
“I’m silenced by the sound of these thoughts inside my head.

The musical formula 3Mind Blight has used in “Silenced By The Sound”, is impactful, and will resonate with listeners, due to the expression of the heartfelt lyrics, and the slow-burning, more intimate vibe of the music. Great records are usually created by a certain set of circumstances that are nearly impossible to replicate.
