Depeche Mode • Enjoy The Silence || Jennifer Connelly
“Enjoy the Silence“ is a song by English electronic music band Depeche Mode. Recorded in 1989, it was released as the second single from their seventh studio album, Violator (1990), on 5 February 1990. The single is certified Gold in the US and Germany. The song won Best British Single at the 1991 Brit Awards.
“Enjoy the Silence“ was re-released as a single in 2004 for the Depeche Mode remix project Remixes 81–04, and was titled “Enjoy the Silence (Reinterpreted)“ or, more simply, “Enjoy the Silence 04“.
Songwriter Martin Gore created a ballad-like first version of the song, which the band took into the studio in 1989. At band member Alan Wilder’s insistence, the song was re-worked into the up-tempo version released on the album.
“Enjoy the Silence“ was released as a single on 5 February 1990.
It was initially released as a 7-inch and 12-inch vinyl single as well as a cassette and CD single. There are two instrumental B-sides to “Enjoy the Silence“.
“Sibeling“ (the 12-inch B-side) is a soft piano-tune while “Memphisto“ (the 7“ B-side) is a darker, eerier track. The title of “Sibeling“ refers to Finnish classical composer Jean Sibelius. According to Martin Gore, “Memphisto is the name of an imaginary film about Elvis as a Devil, that I created in my mind“, and is a portmanteau of “Memphis“ (where Elvis lived at Graceland) and “Mephisto“.
“Enjoy the Silence“ was Depeche Mode’s highest charting single in the United States, peaking at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 1990.
Lyrics:
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can’t you understand?
Oh, my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
