Introduction
“There’s a Kind of Hush” is a timeless melody that has gracefully traversed decades, capturing hearts with its gentle tune and heartfelt lyrics. Penned by the talented duo Les Reed and Geoff Stephens, the song first emerged in 1966, performed by the New Vaudeville Band. However, it was Engelbert Humperdinck’s rendition in 1967, featured on his album “Release Me,” that truly showcased his smooth vocals and emotional depth, bringing a unique warmth to the piece.
The lyrics paint a serene picture of a world enveloped in a gentle hush, where lovers find solace in each other’s embrace, communicating through whispers that transcend words. This universal theme of intimate connection resonates deeply, inviting listeners to reminisce about their own cherished moments of love and togetherness.
Humperdinck’s interpretation stands out for its sincerity and tenderness, allowing the song to transcend its era and remain a beloved classic. It’s a beautiful reminder of the simple, quiet moments that define our most meaningful relationships.

Lyrics
Hush
There’s a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world you can hear the sounds of lovers in love
You know what I mean
Just the two of us and nobody else concerned
There’s nobody else, and I’m feeling good holding you tight
So listen very carefully, closer now
And you will see what I mean (see what I mean)
Hm, it isn’t a dream (it isn’t a dream)
The only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear, I love you forever and ever
There’s a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world people just like us are falling in love
So listen very carefully, closer now
And you will see what I mean (see what I mean)
No no, it isn’t a dream (it isn’t a dream)
Hmm, the only sound that you will hear
Is when I whisper in your ear, I love you forever and ever
There’s a kind of hush all over the world tonight
All over the world people just like us are falling in love
Are falling in love
Fallin’ in love
