Songs Of Silence Original

[Astryd Boschee]

Silence" is a song by Canadian electronic music group Delerium featuring Canadian singer and co-writer Sarah McLachlan, first released as a single in May 1999. Over the years, its remixes have been hailed as one of the greatest trance songs of all time, over two decades after its initial release.[1] The Tisto remix of the song was voted by Mixmag readers as the 12th-greatest dance record of all time.[2]

Although the original song did receive Canadian radio airplay in 1997, it was not released as a single until 1999, two years after the release of Karma, though it was only the Airscape Remix which received airplay at this time, rather than the more downtempo original version. The single prominently included remixes by DJ Tisto, and Fade, which significantly boosted the song's proliferation through club play (particularly by influential DJs such as Paul Oakenfold) as evidenced by the single's positions on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts. It was on the soundtrack for the movie Brokedown Palace featuring Claire Danes and Kate Beckinsale.

As a consequence, the song was largely promoted as an uptempo vocal trance song, which then influenced the marketing of the next several Delerium singles as well. Unlike most of its successors, however, "Silence" also broke into the adult top 40 radio format due to the song's club success,[4] and through radio airplay the original version received mainstream awareness relatively greater than the remixes among club patrons.

A music video for "Aria", a track from the following studio album "Poem" that was first released as B-Side on a "Silence" single, was released in early 2000, featuring the Medival Bbes. The single and video use the video edit of the song.

Madison Beer's highly anticipated second album has experienced a tumultuous journey since its conception. Initially, Beer had planned to release both her debut album, "Life Support," and her sophomore album in 2021. However, unforeseen circumstances led to multiple delays.

After a Dropbox hack, which happend at the end of 2021, there was a significant leak of several songs from her upcoming album. In addition to the leak, Beer faced challenges in collaborating with her writing team, due to scheduling conflicts during her Life Support tour. As a result, the album's release was pushed back to 2022. Further complications arose, leading to the album's release being delayed once more to 2023.

On December 3, 2022 Beer wrote that she's been adding and changing tracks on the album and that a whiteboard pcture is coming "soon soon".[3][4][5] On December 14, 2022 Madison tweeted that she recorded the final session for the album.[6][7]

On March 17, 2023 Beer replied to a fan via Twitter that there are going to be 12, 13, 14 or 15 tracks.[9] She later revealed that it won't be 12.[10] A few days later on March 19, 2023 Madison responded to a video that her favorite song of the album is track 3 and 5.[11]

In May Madison revealed that it won't take much longer for the tracklist to drop.[14] On May 31, 2023 Beer finally announced the album on social media with the release date of September 15, 2023.[15] After the announcement of her sophomore album, Madison's webstore updated with a countdown to June 2 for the album preorder.[16]

Beer described the sound as being very different from Life support. There will be no "bops" on the album and is aimed to mostly consist of ballads. According to Beer, the most emotional tracks on the album are: King Of Everything, Ryder, and At Your Worst.

On August 8, 2023 a tracklist which was missing letters was posted on twitter.[17] A day later the complete tracklist was finally shared via Madison's Instagram.[18][19] The same day Beer shared the original whiteboard with the tracklist from May 3, 2022, August 2, 2022 and the final from December 13, 2022 on it.[20] On August 11, 2023, Madison shared a new cover for the album, initially announcing it as an alt cover but then confirming it will be the cover on all streaming platforms as well as physical formats.[21][22] Days later, Madison went live on Instagram and clarified that the vinyl and CDs ordered before the new cover was announced will still have the original artwork.[23] In the same livestream, Madison expressed that she was not fully satisfied with the original album cover, stating that she didn't feel like it represented the album to the fullest.[24]

On September 7, 2023, Madison's team announced that they will be hosting a listening party in Los Angeles, California.[25] In order to be invited to the event, you had to create a TikTok using the song "Spinnin" and then send the link to Madison's official site. The selected fans would have the opportunity to exclusively hear the album before the official release.

In an Instagram livestream Madison reacted to the rumors about her already planning a deluxe version of the album, to which she replied that she would love to make one in the future, but hasn't started yet.[33]

On September 4, 2023, Madison confirmed on an Instagram livestream that she's working on a Deluxe version of the album, however, it is not known which tracks will be included on it or when she is planning to release it.[34] On September 30, 2023 Beer confirmed that she is considering making a deluxe for the album.[35][36]

With the announcement of the release date of the album on May 31, 2023, a gradual cover was revealed. However, Madison declared an alternative cover in late August, because she wasn't satisfied with the already released cover. She later confirmed it will be the cover on all streaming platforms as well as physical formats.

The first look at the album tracklisting was on August 8, 2023, when Madison's team shared a video on their Instagram and Twitter accounts. In this video, Madison can be seen writing down the tracklist of the album on a whiteboard.[60][61] The titles had several letters missing except for the already released songs. This was likely made on purpose so that fans could make up what the titles were themselves. The video had a blur effect, so that it wouldn't completely clear to see what's written on the whiteboard.

The day after, on August 9, 2023, Madison released the full album tracklist to the public.[62] She also posted another whiteboard photo to her twitter featuring two early versions of the tracklist.[63]

On August 9, 2023, Madison released a whiteboard photo to her twitter featuring two early versions of the tracklist.[63] Both of these versions were longer and contained more tracks than the final one.

It is interesting how I preferred some songs with the redux mix and I preferred some with the original mix. Maybe it is a sense of familiarity that secured itself in my mindset while listening to REDUX; maybe it is just that I think the original mix, albeit lacking in comparison to the new record, is a unique sound that can not be replicated. Either way, the songs mostly remained the same in composition; The Night God Slept is a frenetic, chaotic, emotionally charged record that is a hallmark in metalcore history, and regardless of what mix we have presented to us, the album is largely enjoyable.

Silent Planet starts their Trilogy 2020 tour with Currents, Invent Animate, and Greyhaven on February 20th in Seattle, Washington. They conclude the tour on March 22nd in Pomona, California. You can buy tickets at silentplanet.ffm.to/redux.

The narrator has no one to talk to and the only thing that understands him is the darkness and his own loneliness. In restless dreams I walked alone / Narrow streets of cobblestone. But the song reaches beyond the perspective of a single narrator, a flash of light revealing a mass of people, humanity all seeking refuge in their own darkness and their own silence.

And in the naked light I saw / Ten thousand people, maybe more / People talking without speaking / People hearing without listening / People writing songs that voices never share / No one dared / Disturb the sound of silence, the chilling verse plays, illustrating a near, all-too-real future in which interactions become all the more surface-level and indifference continues to grow.

The official music video for 'Enjoy The Silence' is a 1990 music video directed by Anton Corbijn featuring Dave Gahan dressed as a king carrying a folding deck chair roaming through remote vistas in search of a quiet place to sit.

The music video for 'Enjoy The Silence' features Dave Gahan dressed as a king carrying a folding deck chair. Through a series of landscape shots, Gahan is seen roaming solemnly through lush, remote vistas in humble search of a quiet place to sit, interspersed with quick cuts of black and white footage featuring the band and stylized photographs of the Violator rose. The video uses an officially unreleased (in audio form, unreleased as of November 2019) edit of the album version of 'Enjoy The Silence', featuring an alternate introduction comprised of the outro choir melody, harpsichord-like stabs, bass stabs, the primary choir stabs, a hi-hat pattern, and snare.

Filming began in a London studio, featuring black and white footage of the band posing against a black background. Andrew Fletcher recalled: "'Enjoy The Silence' was my personal favourite video to make, because it only took me an hour. We went into the studio, and Anton said, 'This will only take a while', and we said, 'Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is going to take all day.' And he said after an hour, 'Well, you can go home now', and we thought, 'Oh, great!' And poor old Dave, he had six days of filming in freezing conditions in the Alps, in everywhere, which was just freezing."[1]

Filming for the landscape beach and field footage began at the Queen's Balmoral Estate in Scotland before resuming in the Swiss Alps and Alvor, Portugal in mid-January 1990. Conditions during filming in Scotland were reported to be unbearably cold for both the crew and Gahan, who was required to stand on a windy hillside for more than eight hours dressed lightly in costume.[2]. By the end of filming the Scotland sequence, the crew's vehicle (a Range Rover) became trapped in the tundra.[2]. The Swiss Alps long shots seen in the final moments of the video are noteworthy as the king seen roaming through the tundra is video producer Richard Bell. Fed up with the freezing conditions onsite, Gahan handed the costume to Bell and left upon learning the next scene was to be a long shot:
