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.

Sympathy
Sylver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's mylife and l will be free
I don't want your sympathy
It's my life and I just need me
It's over again,
you made up your mind
Still want to be my friend
Cause I've just about had it with you
And I won't be nobody's fool
I don't want your sympathy
It's my life and I will be free
I don't want your sympathy
It's my life and I will be free
I don't want your sympathy
It's my life and I just need me
It's over again,
there's doubt in your eyes
The message has been sent,
now you have to pay the price
'Cause I've just about had it with you
And I won't be nobody's fool
I don't want your sympathy
Sylver's song "Sympathy" is a defiant anthem about self-reliance and refusing pity from others. The lyrics make it clear that the singer does not want anyone's sympathy and is determined to live life on their own terms. They reject a former friend's attempts to reconcile, wanting nothing to do with someone who they feel has betrayed them. The chorus emphasizes the singer's independence and desire for freedom, stating that they only need themselves to be happy.
The verses suggest that the singer has been hurt in the past, but is now taking control of their own life. They have had enough of being taken for granted and manipulated, and refuse to be anyone's fool. The phrase "It's over again" suggests that this is not the first time they have been mistreated, but they are now putting their foot down.
Overall, "Sympathy" is an empowering song about standing up for oneself and refusing to be a victim. The message of self-determination and self-care is one that resonates with many people, making the song a popular choice for those who are going through difficult times.
Line by Line Meaning
I don't want your sympathy
I don't desire your pity or comfort
It's my life and l will be free
I have complete control over my life and will make my own decisions
It's my life and I just need me
I only require myself and my independence to live my life
Still want to be my friend
You want to maintain a friendship with me
But don't waste your time
Continuing to try to be my friend is pointless
Cause I've just about had it with you
I'm at my limit with your actions and behavior
And I won't be nobody's fool
I won't let anyone take advantage of me
there's doubt in your eyes
You display a lack of certainty or trust in our relationship
The message has been sent,
You've communicated your intentions or feelings
now you have to pay the price
There will be consequences for your actions or choices
