    She got down on hands and knees

    One ear against the ground

    Hoping to hear something

    But the dirt made not a sound tonight

    -from a song I’ve listened to countless times through my phone’s aux jack

        What do you think The Dirt Whispered is about? I always imagined a child waiting for her dad to come marching home from the war, listening for the marching in the ground but I’m sure that’s not what was intended

          I also thought it was about a child waiting for their dad to come home. Not sure if it’s a soldier or some other person that’s working on the road or overseas or what. But yours is an excellent interpretation, IMO.
