The group's vocalist is Silvy de Bie (born January 4, 1981) and keyboardist/songwriter is Wout Van Dessel (born October 19, 1974). Regi Penxten is the producer and co-songwriter.
Silvy began her musical career at the age of nine on the Belgian television series De Kinderacademie (The Children's Academy). Belgian law prohibiting children under 16 from working, however, put a sudden end to this career. Later, she returned with the band "Lance".
Wout is a well known Belgian DJ. He and Silvy were acquainted at the disco where he was the resident DJ.
Sylver has not only toured its homeland of Belgium, but also North America, South Africa, Asia, Scandinavia, and Eastern Europe.
History
In 2001 Sylver hit Germany with their debut album Chances, including the single "Turn the Tide". The single immediately moved to number 8 in the charts, and within 8 weeks was number 2 (under Atomic Kitten's Whole Again), staying in the top 10 for 12 weeks. A month later, the album debuted at 16 and spent 49 weeks in the top 100. The single Forever In Love also made the charts.
The second album, Little Things (2003) was no less successful, with the singles "Livin' My Life" and "Why Worry".
On November 2, 2004, the third album, Nighttime Calls, was released. The first single from this album, "Love is an Angel", hit the Belgian top 10 immediately upon its release on September 20.
Their fourth album, "Crossroads", was released in Europe on the 19th of May 2006. The first single from the latter album was "Lay All Your Love On Me".
A greatest hits album was released in 2007 featuring two new songs, including their newest single, "The One".
The group went on hiatus in 2007 while Silvy had her daughter (named Noor, born November 7th, 2007) but has since resumed performing in early 2008.
In addition to synthesizer and drum machine, Sylver uses guitar, piano, and percussion instruments.

Edge of Life
Sylver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never wanted to show you more
I kept my dreams all locked inside
I only wanted a place to hide
Life's too short, so don't ignore
The clues you get at night
Life's too short, so you got to keep on
Life's too short, so don't ignore
The clues you get at night
Life's too short, so you got to keep on
Living on the edge of life
Life ain't always what it seems
You should hold on to your dreams
They lift a corner of the veil
It's up to you to make 'em real
Life's too short, so don't ignore
The clues you get at night
Life's too short, so you got to keep on
Living on the edge of life
Life's too short, so don't ignore
The clues you get at night
Life's too short, so you got to keep on
Living on the edge of life
And when the time has come that you've made up your mind
You'll see that's it worth the try...
Life's too short, so don't ignore
The clues you get at night
Life's too short, so you got to keep on
Living on the edge of life
Life's too short, so don't ignore
The clues you get at night
Life's too short, so you got to keep on
Living on the edge of life
Life's too short, so don't ignore
The clues you get at night
Life's too short, so you got to keep on
Living on the edge of life
Life's too short, so don't ignore
The clues you get at night
Life's too short, so you got to keep on
Living on the edge of life

Line by Line Meaning
Never took this road before
I haven't been down this particular path in my life journey before
Never wanted to show you more
I never wanted to reveal my innermost dreams and desires to others
I kept my dreams all locked inside
I hid my aspirations from the world
I only wanted a place to hide
I just wanted to keep these aspirations to myself
Life's too short, so don't ignore
Life is brief and fleeting, so don't ignore important signals
The clues you get at night
Pay attention to your intuition, dreams or subconscious mind
Life's too short, so you got to keep on
Because you only have one life, you need to keep moving forward
Living on the edge of life
Take chances, explore the unknown, live on the edge of what's comfortable
Life ain't always what it seems
Life can be deceptive and things are not always as they appear
You should hold on to your dreams
Continue to nurture your aspirations, don't abandon them
They lift a corner of the veil
Pursuing your dreams can provide clarity and understanding
It's up to you to make 'em real
It's your responsibility to work towards making your dreams a reality
And when the time has come that you've made up your mind
When you have made a decision about your dreams
You'll see that's it worth the try...
You'll realize that it's worth trying to make your dreams come true
