The silence became palpable and merciless in its depths. The only sound came from my car’s radio. The Temptations towed me to tears.

About This Quote

The Temptations are one of the top selling American R&B groups in history. Their 1960s songs were known for their energetic music, soulful harmonies and catchy lyrics. This particular song was written by Otis Redding, who passed away in a plane crash in 1967. It wasn’t until five years later that the group recorded the song in his honor.

The Temptations power ballad is sung from the perspective of a man mourning the loss of his lover. His desire to go on with his life after her death is shown by the fact that he starts to play music once again, albeit in silent grief.
