"Enjoy the Silence" is Depeche Mode's twenty-fourth UK single, released on February 5, 1990, and the second single from the album Violator. "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". The "Reinterpreted" version was remixed by Mike Shinoda, the rapper and producer for the American nu metal/alternative rock band Linkin Park. As it is one of Depeche Mode's most well-known songs to date, it has been recorded as a cover version by many other artists, including Keane, Tori Amos, Failure, It Dies Today, Anberlin, Lacuna Coil, Matthew Good, Bell X1, and No Use for a Name.

Background

When "Enjoy the Silence" was written by Martin Gore, it was intended to be a slow-paced ballad in C minor; the demo featured a harmonium with Gore singing. Alan Wilder saw hit potential in the track, and composed an upbeat tempo and structure for the song. Despite initial resistance from songwriter Gore, who felt the spirit of the song was not suited to an upbeat track, the rest of the group liked it. After some self-described "sulking", Gore came around and added more to the embryonic fast version together with producer Mark "Flood" Ellis, notably the guitar riff heard throughout. Depeche Mode lead singer David Gahan contributed his distinctive lead vocals to the track, and within hours, the band was convinced they had a hit single on their hands. At Gore's insistence, the demo would later be remade into the "Harmonium" version (available on the limited edition 12" vinyl release), featuring Gore on vocals. Martin Gore (born Martin Lee Gore, 23 July 1961, Basildon, Essex, England) is an English songwriter, lyricist, singer, guitarist and keyboardist. ...

Chart success

"Enjoy the Silence" became one of the band's most successful singles, and its highest-charting since the early '80s. The single rocketed up the UK Singles Chart to #6, remaining there for three weeks. This was the band's highest-charting single since "People Are People" peaked at #4 in 1984. Additionally, other than "People Are People", only two other singles released by the band had reached as high as #6: 1982's "See You" and 1983's "Everything Counts". “British Hit Singles” redirects here. ... People Are People is Depeche Modes tenth UK single (released on March 12, 1984) and the first single for the Some Great Reward album. ... See You is the fourth UK single by Depeche Mode originally released on January 29, 1982. ... Everything Counts is Depeche Modes eighth UK single (released on July 11, 1983) and third US single (released on November 2, 1983), from the then upcoming album Construction Time Again. ...

On top of this, the song reached #8 on the US Billboard Hot 100, to date the only Depeche Mode single to achieve top 10 status. At the time, the only other Depeche Mode single to hit the US Top 20 was "People Are People", which hit #13. The single also topped the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, another first for the band (as this chart had been created in 1988). The chart measures radio airplay on US modern rock stations. “Hot 100” redirects here. ...

"Enjoy the Silence 04" was almost equally successful in the UK, peaking at #7 on the UK Singles Chart. In the US, it reached #25 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play. In addition, the limited edition vinyl releases also charted, but due to the fact that their lead track was not "Enjoy the Silence", these releases charted separately. As a result, "Something to Do", the A-side to the L12 release, spent one week at #75 on the UK Singles Chart.

Song versions

Cover of the Limited Edition 12" release

The original release of the single included a wide variety of remixes. The standard 12" version of the song is the "Hands and Feet Mix", while the B-side of the 12" version included a dub mix called the "Ecstatic Dub". The limited edition 12" release included three more remixes: the aforementioned "Harmonium" version which follows the structure of the original demo, the "Bass Line" version, and the "Ricki Tik Tik Mix." The latter one is actually an edit omitting a synth part in the middle because Mute had to fit everything on a 3" CD. The boxed rerelease finally had the full version. One of the more unusual mixes is "The Quad: Final Mix" which expands the song to over fifteen minutes in length, making it the longest commercially available Depeche Mode track.

B-sides

There are two instrumental B-sides to "Enjoy the Silence". "Sibeling" (the 12" 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. Regarding "Memphisto", according to Martin Gore, "Memphisto is the name of an imaginary film about Elvis as a Devil, that I created in my mind". [1] As such, the title is a portmanteau of Memphis and Mephisto. "Sibeling" was produced by the combination of the band and Flood, who produced much of Depeche Mode's work from 1990 to 1993, while "Memphisto" was produced by the band alone. In recorded music, the terms A-side and B-side refer to the two sides of 7 inch vinyl records on which singles have been released since the 1950s. ...

Music videos

The Anton Corbijn music video for "Enjoy the Silence" references the themes and storyline of the philosophical children's book "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Film of Gahan dressed as a King wandering around with his deck chair chasing the sunset is intercut with black and white footage of the band posing in a studio. Brief images of a single rose (which is also featured on the album cover of Violator) also appear throughout the video. Anton Corbijn (pronounced ) (born May 20, 1955) is a photographer from Strijen, the Netherlands. ... The Little Prince (French: Le petit prince), published in 1943, is French aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupérys most famous novel, which he wrote in the United States while renting The Bevin House in Asharoken, New York, on Long Island. ...

The video uses a slightly different mix of the song (the most notable difference being an extended introduction) that has not been released in any audio format. Long shots of the king walking through the snow show not Gahan but rather the video's producer Richard Bell. Gahan had left, tiring of the cold after a day in Switzerland. This story was recounted by Gahan in the intro to the The Videos (86-98) VHS/DVD. The Videos 86>98 is a music video compilation by Depeche Mode, featuring almost two dozen music videos directed by a variety of directors, released in 1998. ...
