Neste utgivelse ble albumet White Diary, etterfulgt av singlene «Angels Calling», «The Sin Fix Journal» og «Funeral Class one». «Angels Calling» ble en hit og ble stadig spilt på radio og TV, likevel har låten aldri helt blitt godtatt av «hardcore» Silver-fans.

I løpet av perioden 2001-2006 spilte Silver rundt 220 konserter i inn- og utland (Tyskland, England, Japan, Italia, Østerrike, Finland, USA, Sverige, Danmark, Nederland, Slovenia, Skottland). Blant disse utenlandsopptredenene var en spillejobb på Roskilde i 2004 og opptreden på italiensk TV.

[5] A collaboration of three Raleigh musicians, beginning in the fall of 2008. Patrick Downing, Brent and John were all born and raised in the fine state of North Carolina and that southern influence carries through in much of the songwriting. Heavily affected by a British rock/pop sound, Silver has carefully crafted melodies that are both unique all the while holding firmly to their region and place.

Their début EP, "+/-" (Feb 2009), finds a young band in their mid twenties trying to balance honest melodies about the good and the bad, the darkness and the light. +/- gently nods to bands such as Radiohead, Kings of Leon, U2 and Muse with delayed guitars, swirling synthesizers and organs and steady pounding rhythms. A firmly established power trio, Silver is garnering attention and support throughout the southeast.

Their latest release is EP "Feeling Of Falling" (Oct 2011).

Shelter
Silver Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let's start over now
Waiting for a chance
For her to be by herself
So she can see my world
But oh spinning compass
Oh let me wander back

Years passed, quarreled with life

But we still gotta hope
That we'd be around to see
Where we're headed now
But oh spinning compass
Oh let me wander back

I won't chase your ocean, I'm falling down
I just want to be there for Shelter Love

Let's fall 'till we laugh
Climbing with trailed hands
Let's gaze at the stars
Until we forget our lives
But oh spinning compass
Oh let me wander back

I won't chase your ocean, I'm falling down
I just want to be there for Shelter Love

Line by Line Meaning

Let's start over now
We should begin anew, leaving behind our past mistakes.

Waiting for a chance
Anticipating an opportunity to bring about positive change.

For her to be by herself
For her to experience solitude and discover her true self.

So she can see my world
So she can understand and appreciate my perspective and lifestyle.

But oh spinning compass
However, the unpredictable nature of life causes confusion and uncertainty.

Oh let me wander back
Allow me to return to a simpler time, free from complications.

Years passed, quarreled with life
As time went by, we faced challenges and struggled against the hardships of existence.

But we still gotta hope
Nevertheless, we must hold onto optimism and belief.

That we'd be around to see
That we would survive long enough to witness

Where we're headed now
The direction our lives are currently taking.

I won't chase your ocean, I'm falling down
I won't pursue your immense challenges, as I am already overwhelmed.
