about
The world comes to a halt, and everything stands still. On Toby Whyle’s debut single “No One Moves,” he approaches a phenomenon artists are often somewhat hesitant to address: writer’s block. He ponders the numbing feeling of helplessness when ideas just wouldn’t come to him for weeks. The only way out of his dilemma was to explore the nature of inspiration itself. What does it mean to be inspired? To have ideas – or to lack them?
Then suddenly, as the sky swiftly clears up, inspiration begins to flow. Something happens, something so hard to put into words yet so easy to be entranced by. When in a brief moment of equilibrium, worries and euphoria seem to be perfectly balanced. You can almost feel the air crackling and sizzling with energy. An impulse that sets everything in motion – and it flows.
lyrics
It’s your power
I admire
A sensation to love
A soothing and elegant feeling to absorb
Something to trust in
A belief to hold
No one moves, no one moves
Whenever you’re not in the room
Somehow doomed to being fools
When you don’t come along
No one moves, no one moves
But whenever you enter the room
There’s a mood
A mood of its own
An encounter
Long-desired
You’re a flower for our poems
A light flare of any shape
A pocket full of hope
Something to trust in
A belief to hold
No one moves, no one moves
Whenever you’re not in the room
Somehow doomed to being fools
When you don’t come along
No one moves, no one moves
But whenever you enter the room
There’s a mood
A mood of its own
No one moves, no one moves
Whenever you’re not in the room
Somehow doomed to being fools
When you don’t come along
No one moves, no one moves
But whenever you enter the room
There’s a mood
A mood of its own
No one moves, no one moves
(Oh no one)
Whenever you’re not in the room
(Oh no one moves)
Somehow doomed to being fools
(Oh no one)
When you don’t come along
(Oh no one but you)
No one moves, no one moves
(Oh no one)
But whenever you enter the room
(Oh no one moves)
There’s a mood
(Oh no one)
A mood of its own
(Oh no one but you)
