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.

Skin
Sylver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where you have been
I know you told me not to try
To understand the way
You live your life at night
But don't you see you make me cry
So now I have left you
But I prefer to be alone
I hope you feel the pain
I've always felt with you
I know I'll make it on my own
[Chorus]
I touch your skin
I smell the sin
Your eyes are lying
I touch your skin
I smell the sin
My love for you is dying
Sylver's song "Skin" is a heart-wrenching ballad about a relationship that has reached its end due to the other person's secretive and promiscuous behavior. The singer knows that their partner is engaging in questionable behavior, and has tried to ignore it and not ask questions, but it has become too much to bear. The partner is living a life at night that the singer cannot comprehend, and it has caused them so much pain that they have decided to leave the relationship. The partner is devastated by this decision, but the singer believes that it is better for them to be alone than to continue to suffer in this way.
The chorus of the song echoes the turmoil and confusion the singer feels. They touch their partner's skin and smell the sin, seeing through their lying eyes. The love that they once had for this person is dying, and they can no longer continue the relationship.
The song's lyrics are emotive and gut-wrenching, expressing the pain of a relationship gone wrong. The use of sensory details like touch and smell adds to the emotional power of the song, as does the chorus's repetition of the phrase "I touch your skin, I smell the sin." The singer's decision to leave the relationship is clearly a difficult one, but ultimately the right choice for their own emotional wellbeing.
Line by Line Meaning
I know you told me not to ask
I am aware that you advised me not to inquire
Where you have been
About the places that you have gone
I know you told me not to try
You instructed me not to make an effort
To understand the way
Of comprehending your behavior
You live your life at night
You spend your life during the night hours
But don't you see you make me cry
Can't you see that you cause me to shed tears
So now I have left you
Therefore, I have departed from you
I know it broke your heart
I am conscious that it caused you emotional pain
But I prefer to be alone
But it's my preference to be by myself
I hope you feel the pain
I wish for you to experience the suffering
I've always felt with you
That I have continuously sensed while being by your side
I know I'll make it on my own
I understand that I can thrive alone
I touch your skin
My hand contacts your body
I smell the sin
I detect the wrongdoing
Your eyes are lying
Your gaze is falsehood
My love for you is dying
My affection for you is fading away
I touch your skin
My hand contacts your body
I smell the sin
I detect the wrongdoing
My love for you is dying
My affection for you is fading away
