Additional Information
Song meaning as told by Jon: "It started out as a little keyboard line on my computer that I put a message for my daughter over. It ended up being a song about communication or lack thereof and about how nothing moves or changes without it." From The Edge radio station website
Also: "'One Will Hear The Other' was actually a little conversation in my head to my daughter. She is an awesome kid. Actually, she's a young woman now, but, she's always been a shy character and I thought she was more shy than she needed to be. She needed to have more confidence in herself because she's a great person. It was actually just a little message to her saying, 'Hey, you don't need to worry. You can actually be a little more at ease with yourself.' Do you know what I'm saying? It was weird, because watching her go through high school really reminded me of how tough it is to be a teenager. I was just trying to say to her, 'We get through it.' I got through it, and the thing you learn is, everyone is actually freaking out just as much as you are. It was just a little gee-up for her, and it ended up being a little gee-up for myself. It was like, 'oh wow, yeah right.' Even though the genesis of it was a chat to her, it was a nice little reminder to myself. It ended up being very positive. I was talking to myself by talking to her - and that is usually what you end up doing." Rip It Up, Aug-Sep 2010.
Lyrics
Time has a way of casting doubt Life is a cage they let you out So fly while you can... So little time don't let it go to waste Hold your ground don't throw it all away And take a chance now One will hear the other One will heal the other ohhh.... One will free the other ohhh.... It's all the same same same One will hear the other ohhh.... One will heal the other ohhh.... One will free the other ohhh.... It's all the same same same So talk. Let 'em know you feel this way We all have got something good to say Seek and you'll find... So little time don't let it go to waste Hold your ground don't throw it all away And take a chance now One will hear the other ohhh.... One will heal the other ohhh.... One will free the other ohhh.... It's all the same same same One will hear the other ohhh.... One will heal the other ohhh.... One will free the other ohhh.... It's all the same same same So little time don't let it go to waste Hold your ground... Don't throw it away. One will hear the other ohhh.... One will heal the other ohhh.... One will free the other ohhh.... It's all the same same same It's all the same yeah One will hear the other ohh.... One will hear the other ohh.... Ohh.... One will hear the other ohh.... It's all the same yeah
