Matilda The Musical - Quiet - Lyrics!! (HD)
I DONT OWN ANY RIGHTS TO THIS SONG

I was really surprised when I first heard this song. The writer's managed to capture the stress and the calm in both the lyrics and the music. It's beautiful.

[SissyFlower]

Everyone's saying how this song makes them cry. But it doesn't make me cry. It actually makes me smile. The beginning is stressful, but once it gets to the description of quietness, along with the beautiful melody, it makes me very happy. Silence can be so beautiful, and this describes it stunningly.
Like many other commenters, I'm autistic with anxiety, and so many people don't understand my need for silence. It means way more than just getting out of a noisy place to calm down. What is also means is that silence is really, really beautiful.

[Destinatious]

I'm autistic and have had my share of child abuse. Matilda was actually my favorite movie growing up because I felt that Matilda's life was very similar to mine. I can't listen to about half of the songs in this musical without crying either out of joy or painful memories.. but the music is really good, and very inspiring. I wish I could turn the waterworks off so I could watch the actual musical.

[moonyasnow]

I'm autistic, and I can't adequately describe just how much this song means to me. All the sounds of the world get so overwhelming, because I can't shut any of it out, so I end up listening to 3 different conversations at once, as well as the fan, someone texting, the silent hum of the lights, and my own thoughts that are going 10k miles a minute.
I feel so calm and so safe when I put on my noise-cancelling headphones, just like what this song describes. It's like being covered in a warm blanket and being allowed to stop existing in the current moment and go somewhere where none of it can reach me.

Everytime I sing this with my singing teacher I end up shedding a tear. And when its sang like this im sobbing. its such a deep meaningful song i love it!

[matiassegovia]

Definetly one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I cried, It's like quietness is described as something so sublime that hurts.

[maguu]

I personally think this is a beautiful reminder that even when she's being positive and optimistic and hopeful, she's been through years of abuse, and injustice. I feel so bad for that wonderful little girl 💙

[LilyGrace]

I have asd and social anxiety, and honestly this song so perfectly describes what it's like to have a sensory overload or an anxiety attack. Normally, I'm not that big a fan of Tim Minchin's music, but I absolutely adore this song, I can't get enough of it!

I got a callback for the part of Matilda a few months back, and I had to sing this song. I remember being so nervous to go in that audition room. But when I sang it for the directors, I felt like I went into a whole different world. I can't explain it. I felt almost safe, and happy, and free honestly. I put my whole heart and soul into that audition and I started crying throughout it. The directors told me it was the best audition that they've ever seen. I remember the car ride on the way back from that audition at like 9:00 at night. I stared out the window, thinking about what they had said over and over again in my mind. I've wanted to play Matilda since I was 7 years old. I thought I was going to get the part. But of course, that's not how it went. I found out a week later I didn't get it. Apparently the mom of the girl who got Matilda pulled some strings so she would be cast as her. I was devastated and cried for a while. I didn't listen to this song for a bit after that, but today I came back to it, and that memory of the callback flooded back to my mind. This is such a beautiful song, and it's one that's really close to my heart.

This is the best way of explaining Autism. I relate to this so much. knowing that you're different to you friends, and asking these questions that some teachers hate because you're challenging them.

[sunnalyn]

i love this song sm because it perfectly describes the feeling of sensory overload and then escaping into a quiet room. Her metaphors are really accurate as well, because they are what it feels like to finally be able to breathe after everything being loud.

[gkhuong]

Philosophical questions and relativity theory in the first minute... Tim Minchin is fantastic! : D

[sterredezeeuw]

I cant be the only one crying to this song right? I can totally relate

[rubykennedy]

I love this song so much because, even though a lot of people in the comments feel it describes anxiety, I feel like it describes ADHD which is something I have been bullied for and still suffer with. For example when she sing
"And the heat and the shouting, and my heart is pounding, and my eyes are burning, and suddenly everything, everything is.... Quiet...." Describes when I 'loose focus' and I can't concentrate and suddenly I won't hear anyone and I'll just see there lips moving

[sproutgal]

This is a beautiful song. I like to sing it when I'm felling extremely stressed, upset, overwhelmed, or angry. I don't have any mental issues, no ADD/ADHD, aspergers, autism, etc. but there's something about it that makes me feel like I can relate or understand. So much that it makes me cry almost every time I hear it. I'm pretty sure everyone has a moment like this before. 

[unrealistic]

This song is making me cry because it seems the older I get the more my parents expect from me and to make me reach their expectations I have to sacrifice all that I want to do. I have no time for my dreams, I just clean, study, and work relentlessly. It seems that my room gets smaller and smaller every day and I lose myself in a world of questions and all of a sudden

everything
goes
quiet

[Little_Katie]

I can’t be the only person who comes to this song when I feel like this?

[starlightsystem]

I know a lot of people on here have already said something like this but I want to share my experience too:

Since I was very young, I would worry about many, many different things. It was constant torture for me. Even if I was feeling confident about something, the “what-if” questions never left me alone. I was confused and scared all the time, and whenever my family and I did something together, I would always imagine the worst case scenario. When I was older, I was diagnosed with major depression; the psychologists that tested me said that I also showed signs of severe anxiety and ADHD. I became more prone to panic attacks and depressive episodes. This song almost perfectly describes the anxiety attacks I get, even the shutdown after. Stress and complete chaos until my body can’t take it anymore. My brain recognizes the large amounts of distress and panic that the anxiety is causing in that moment. It basically shuts itself down and everything goes quiet. Sometimes, it gets so awful that I find the shutdown afterwards to be somewhat relaxing and more calm compared to whatever triggered the attack in the first place. Sorry for wasting your time, I just felt like this was necessary to share. I hope whoever is reading this has an awesome day 😊

[Harmonygiles]

When I go through panic attacks I come too this song, not any breathing videos or anything. This video always helps me and makes me feel safe and calmer

[angieliang]

This song is so cleverly written and the way she sings it is so humble and the words she uses to describe something aren't difficult but the ideas she has are incredible. I love the musical just as much as the book because the musical really brings out the fact of how Matilda is so humble yet clever.
