Silence
Delerium Lyrics
Give me
Release
Witness me
I am
Outside
Give me peace
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
I can't
Help this longing
Comfort me
I can't
Hold it all in
If you won't let me
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence
I believe
I have seen you
In this white wave
You are silent
You are breathing
In this white wave
I am free

"Silence" is a song by Canadian electronic music group Delerium. The song was co-written by Canadian singer Sarah McLachlan, and she is featured as vocalist on the track. The song is often credited to be one of the best trance songs of all time,[1] still playing in many clubs to this day.
The original album version and subsequent radio edit of the song had a much slower tempo than the more well-known remixes and was essentially structured like a pop song Read Full Bio"Silence" is a song by Canadian electronic music group Delerium. The song was co-written by Canadian singer Sarah McLachlan, and she is featured as vocalist on the track. The song is often credited to be one of the best trance songs of all time,[1] still playing in many clubs to this day.
The original album version and subsequent radio edit of the song had a much slower tempo than the more well-known remixes and was essentially structured like a pop song, with the characteristic synthetic instrumentation of the more melodic side of ambient music — though including darker overtones, such as the prominently featured Gregorian chants. This last element often invites comparison to popular ambient/new age/world music projects of the 1990s like Enigma and Deep Forest who routinely sample chants from various ethnicities worldwide, though in contrast such vocals featured on Karma were all original recordings.[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 Tiësto, 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.
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,[3] and through radio airplay the original version received mainstream awareness relatively greater than the remixes among club patrons.
The accompanying music video, directed by the directors collective Twobigeyes, was released in 2000 and was set to the Airscape remix. It has repeatedly been listed within the top 100 Ibiza anthems ever on online messageboards and, more recently, on MTV. The video was filmed on location in Pembrokeshire, Wales UK. The main locations are Newgale Beach, and "The Blue Lagoon" in Aberiddy.
"Silence" was the opening track on the 1999 Brokedown Palace soundtrack.
The Airscape Remix was featured in Dance Dance Revolution: EXTREME2

Give me release
Witness me
I am outside
Give me peace
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe that I’d get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
Passion
Chokes the flower
Until she cries no more
Possessing all the beauty
Hungry still for more
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe that I’d get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave…
In this silence…
I believe I can’t help this longing…
Comfort me I can’t hold it all in…
If you won’t let me…
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe that I’d get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave…
In this silence…
I believe I have seen you…
In this white wave
You are silent
You are breathing
In this white wave…
I am free

Give me release, witness me
I am outside, give me peace
Heaven holds a sense of wonder, and I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up when the rage in me subsides
Passion chokes the flower, till she cries no more
Possessing all the beauty, hungry still for more
Heaven holds a sense of wonder, and I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up when the rage in me subsides
In this white wave I am sinking, in this silence
In this white wave, in this silence, I believe
[Foreign content]
I can't help this longing comfort me
I can't hold it all in, if you won't let me
Heaven holds a sense of wonder, and I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up when the rage in me subsides
In this white wave I am sinking, in this silence
In this white wave, In this silence, I believe
I have seen you in this white wave you are silent
You are breathing, in this white wave I am free

Gloria in excelsis Deo
et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis.
Laudamus te,
benedicimus te,
adoramus te,
glorificamus te,
gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam,
Domine Deus, Rex caelestis,
Deus Pater omnípotens.
Domine Fili unigenite, Jesu Christe,
Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris,
qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis;
qui tollis peccata mundi, suscipe deprecationem nostram.
Qui sedes ad dexteram Patris, miserere nobis.
Quoniam tu solus Sanctus, tu solus Dominus, tu solus Altissimus,
Jesu Christe, cum Sancto Spiritu: in gloria Dei Patris. Amen

I can't help this loning
Comfort me
I can't hold it all in
If you won't let me
Heaven holds a sense of wonder
And I wanted to believe
That I'd get caught up
When the rage in me subsides
In this white wave
I am sinking
In this silence
In this white wave
In this silence

20 yrs later I'm somehow a functional and successful adult in my late 30s, but this song still takes me back to some gloriously misspent late nights. those of you who are that age right now: ignore those who tell you you're wasting time having fun. none of that derailed my life in the long run, and it made for some unforgettable memories. i wouldn't take a minute of it back.

20 years?!?!? it was like yesterday when it was new, but 41 now and still stuck in this area

Sarah's vocals in this song have to be one of the greatest in history. Mezmerizing
JoFo
@Wayne Filkins shpongle makes similar yet more abstract music. Might find something in their lengthy catalogue that fits your search.

@W G I heard this back in like 2003 or something and to this day still have not found anything quite like it. Yesterday I searched like crazy...just wanted something similar. I guess it wasn't super popular either but it's my favorite song of all time.
Kerry Heath
Agreed…
Ted Reid
Hi I did !.
Vincent Whitley
Autotune and other Pro-Tools work wonders but I have heard this done live and it was Glorious.
Greg Johnson
As incredible as Sarah is on this track, let's not forget the incredible vocals behind hers. Whoever is responsible for matching these voices together is why we're all here.
