Kelly Says: I have always disliked the way I speak. I think many of us feel the same way. The words sound so beautiful inside my head but by the time they make their way out of my mouth they sound completely different and not even close to the way they started in my head. I was up in San Francisco recently at an event and was listening to these artists speak and one of them was so eloquent and the way he spoke was so beautiful. Exactly how I wished I could speak. So I wrote this song at the airport on the way home. It was written more like train of thought than actual lyrics but it worked. I think I express myself better with my visuals and songs. When I don’t have to speak them. I had a hard time figuring out what type of video to make for this song. Normally I make the visuals first. So my idea behind this one is the women representing the words in a beautiful way. Even though there aren’t actual words in their costumes. It’s just a concept

Eloquent[Verse 1]In my head, it all makes senseEvery word just landsSoft and clear and confidentExactly how I plannedBut it trips on my tongue,Loses what I meantTurns into a different shapeBefore it’s even said[Pre-Chorus]I hear it one wayThen it slips away[Chorus]I swear I’m eloquent inside my headBut when I speak, I second guessAnd all the beauty turns to lessI’m fluent in the feeling, yesJust not as eloquent[Verse 2]Then I hear someone like youWords just falling freeLike you don’t have to think at allIt’s just what you believeAnd I could listen all night longThe way it flows so trueIt’s not envy in my chestIt’s something close to love for you[Pre-Chorus]The way it all connects[Chorus]You sound so eloquent out loud like thatLike nothing’s missing, nothing crackedAnd I’m right here, trying to do the sameBut mine don’t land that wayI don’t want your voice, your style, your senseJust want to feel that confidenceI’m fluent in the feeling, yesJust not as eloquent[Bridge]Maybe it’s okayIf it comes out wrongIf it takes a whileTo say what I mean at allMaybe there’s a wayMy words can still belong[Final Chorus]I’m still eloquent inside my mindAnd maybe that’s a place to startIf it comes out slow or rearrangedIt doesn’t mean it’s not the sameI’m holding gold, it just takes timeTo bring it from my head to lightI’m fluent in the feeling, yesAnd learning to be eloquent
