Little King – Silver Tongue (hearnow.com) – (Spotify, ITunes, Apple Music, etc.)
The Dynamic Rock band Little King have released their new single, ‘Silver Tongue’, to all of the usual Digital platforms. ‘Silver Tongue’ is the raucous culmination of 25+ years of Little King releases. This single is a celebration of the band’s musical history as well as a confident launch into the future. Moody, introspective, heavy, complex, and ultimately triumphant, ‘Silver Tongue’ stands as the quintessential Little King opus.
The song was written and recorded during rehearsals for the band’s 25th anniversary shows in 2022. According to the singer/guitarist Ryan Rosoff, “I really wanted to find elements from each previous album and incorporate them into the song. During the bridge, we reference each Little King album title lyrically. But I also found the spirit of the music to be a throwback to early Little King…heavy and raw but with some modern polish.”
Per the usual, the band recorded in phases. The drums and guitar bed tracks were laid down first, then Ryan went home and finished the lyrics. The band even recorded a version with some flute solos! They didn’t make the Final Cut, but down the road, they might appear in a re-mix, according to Rosoff.

LYRICS:
Got fooled when no one cared
Got twisted up on the pen
A pound of
Patience and presence
To fall apart and coalesce again
Sold a bill of goods
With a Silver Tongue
Paralyzed, face up
And sleeping like the dead when it stung
Weaponized, chest out
Criticized, no doubt
Sold a bill goods
A man of high character
Is sometimes aware when he’s wrong
And 25 is a relative number
There’s so much more to give
A bringer of change
It’s an even exchange
CHORUS:
Peace and Love-
Elegant dream
A Utopian joke?
More cynical
So Critical
Shouldn’t be so extreme
Even though I foretold the flood
Doesn’t mean it’s not already happening
Once more, I crawl through the mud
To beg for one dose of clarity
Got battered up, I’m on the mend
With words so intimate
Sentient
Negligent
Vacant
To talk the talk and fall apart again
I told a pack of lies
With a Silver Tongue
Paralyzed, toes up
And leading with my head when I was young
What did I do?
What did it prove?
Analyzed, struck out
Compromised, no doubt
It’s time for a change
Summit Timing
Viral Fool
Over-Driven and Foiled
In the queue…
When I’m Wrong
When you are running on the back-end
Of your time
Falling down then back up on the climb
And 25 is a serious number
I know, there’s so much more to do
A Bringer of change-
It’s an even exchange
Slinging silver over you
CHORUS:
Peace and Love-
It’s an elegant dream
A Utopian joke-
It’s really not that fucking funny…
Shouldn’t be so obscene
Just because I foretold the flood
Doesn’t mean it’s not already happening
The core of all things to come
To be the change I need
To execute the deed
To be the man I wanna see…
