Between You and Me (DC Talk song)

"Between You and Me" is a song by the American Christian rock and hip hop trio DC Talk, released in 1995 on their album Jesus Freak. It became one of their most successful singles, achieving mainstream popularity and crossover appeal.

The song addresses themes of communication breakdown and relationship struggles, particularly in the context of faith and the complexities of interpersonal connections. While the lyrics are open to interpretation, many listeners find resonance with the challenges of expressing oneself and understanding others, especially when dealing with difficult or sensitive topics. The phrase "Between You and Me" suggests a desire for honest and vulnerable communication, a yearning to bridge the gap between individuals.
