REFUGE (theme song for Silent Harmony film)

In the silence of a mind that's shattered,
There is Comfort protected by the walls.
Where there is no vision, one can see no peril
In the refuge of the dark.

Staring blindly into grey abyss,
Rolling gently across the ocean waves.
What can be discovered in a moment's light
Will I ever be released.

As if drifting through a vacant desert
Counting hours of a timeless voyage.
A long and lonely detour
Leading nowhere
Is the only path I find.

Artist Statement

Writing and recording REFUGE is our first musical collaboration. After reading Debra Markowitz's script, the music was an organic creation first written by Linda as a piano solo, played by Linda's character Celine in the film; and that led to Terry's creation of the lyrics and orchestration for REFUGE- the theme song and opening music for SILENT HARMONY. The music speaks to the intense longing and pain of the loss of a previous life that may never be recovered, as a universal theme, and as experienced by Celine in SILENT HARMONY.
