Official Lyrics

(As published on Genius under “The Academic Boardroom”)

[Intro]

Welcome back to our table. You are tuned in with Dr. J & Dr. E. Pull up a chair, and listen in.

[Verse]

A candidate stood tall and spoke with clear intent.

With precision and poise, no matter where he went.

His answers hit the mark, his strategy was sound.

No trace of doubt or flaw was anywhere around.

 

Then came a final question during Q and A.

A single topic where his comfort slipped away.

He paused to frame his thoughts before he made a claim.

And offered up a phrase that telegraphed the game.

 

He prefaced his reply with “well, basically” first.

A subtle verbal shift where confidence dispersed.

The filler betrayed what he tried to keep inside.

A tiny tell that showed the truth he could not hide.

Podcast Score Summary

The Boardroom Notice is a brief song featuring spoken-word music, based on one of the most inspiring moments from Dr. Laura Sicola’s talk at the Academic Boardroom: a pitch competition where nothing went wrong except one word.

The song tells the story of this moment, when participants were always accurate with their answers, but one theme was so unexpected that the contestant made a mistake in his speech. Instead of stopping, the character used an unnecessary verbal hedge, “Well, basically,” which revealed something he was trying to keep secret. This moment becomes an essential part of the song through the “tell,” or the moment when hesitation and confidence can be expressed in the smallest possible ways through a person’s speech.

This piece of art serves as a good reminder of the main lesson of Sicola’s speech, which is that how exactly we say something is often more important than the information we give in the message.
