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.

Little Things
Sylver Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In an ocean of feelings
I don't know what to do
although I am
the one who left
I just keep thinking of you

It makes me want to cry
to know how i treated you

I'm so sorry
for what I did
I'll never find another love like you

Little things you did
the sweet things you said
you made me feel so special
I just can't forget
the little things you did
the sweet things you said

you made me feel so special
I just can't forget

The singer feels deep remorse for the way they treated their ex, acknowledging that it was wrong and expressing their regret. They recognize that they may never find another love as special as the one they lost.

The chorus of the song is particularly significant, as it highlights the little things that made the singer feel loved and appreciated. The little things and sweet words that the ex-partner used to say and do meant the world to the singer and made them feel truly special. Ultimately, the song serves as a reminder that sometimes, the things that seem small can have a big impact on a person's life and emotions.

Overall, Sylver's Little Things is a poignant and reflective song that explores the complexities of love, regret, and loss.
