Who asked the question? Who checked the rhyme? Who’s taking notes for the story line? I'm the teacher I'm the father I'm on the record working overtime ohh We know there is a final word We go sight unseen and sound unheard I'm waiting Communicating Putting one leg on a time You took the question Made more questions Should’ve offered a hand that night ohh We know there is a final word We go sight unseen and sound unheard Took me out that headspace You said I was a nut case Slow me down from the rat race We’re all we’re all just moving at our own pace
2.	The Question (Jake and Abe Remix) 03:17	lyrics	buy track
Who asked the questions? Who checks the rhyme? Who’s taking notes for our story-lines? Who are our teachers? Mothers and fathers? We're working on our records overtime Whoa Who knows when it's our final word? Yet we go sight unseen and sound unheard Who asked the question?

about

A double single form the 'Stacking Blocks' project by The Wali Sanga.

"Sound Unheard" is about fatherhood. And the first time I worked with strings. My attempt at some of the 1970s CTI recordings that fused jazz and epic strings. The section at the end of the song was created by asking Devon (keyboardist) to improvise a solo. We then took that solo to our string arranger (Sly5thAve) who wrote it out -- not for note -- as a part for the string quartet to perform.

"The Question" is a "Sound Unheard" remix by Jake & Abe. I've admired these gents for years and it was a privilege to have them bless the track and transform it into something completely unique and fresh.
