With “There Are No Words,” released on February 1, 2026, Ker shifts the focus inward and quietly establishes the emotional center of his album Converging Paths. Rather than chasing big statements or dramatic arrangements, the song leans into simplicity, and that restraint ends up being its biggest strength.

Built around a soft, sentimental tone, the track feels intentionally gentle, almost like a conversation shared in a quiet room. The songwriting reflects Ker’s unconventional path into music: years spent outside the industry before discovering songwriting later in life, turning poetry into melody and learning instruments piece by piece. That journey shows in how naturally the song unfolds. Nothing feels forced; it moves with the ease of an idea that arrived unexpectedly and simply needed to exist.
The concept is disarmingly honest. The repeated line “There are no words, but lots to say” captures the strange truth that some emotions don’t need explanation. The story of a melody appearing during a walk, then hurriedly written down before it disappeared, gives the song a personal, almost diary-like intimacy. It’s less about lyrical complexity and more about the feeling behind creation itself: gratitude, connection, and quiet inspiration.

Jamie Graham’s drums and production keep everything warm and grounded, never overpowering the song’s reflective mood. Peter Fairbairn’s bass and keys add depth without crowding the arrangement, creating a balanced sound that gently nods to classic singer-songwriter traditions of the mid-’60s through mid-’70s era. The instrumentation supports the message rather than competing with it, allowing the melody to carry emotional weight. “There Are No Words” doesn’t try to impress with scale. It succeeds by reminding listeners that sometimes the simplest melodies say the most, even when language falls away.
