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.

Where Did The Love Go
Sylver Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Playing in the poisoned sand
Generations on the move
Unconvinced by the power of proof
Hustle for the darkest gold
The very truth remains untold
Will somebody please tell the man
Where did the love go
Where is it now
Where did the love go
Did we lose it somehow
Tell me, tell me
The absentminded rule the world
Wasting lives for what it's worth
Patriots fulfil their needs
Powered by the hands of greed
Hustle for the darkest gold
The very truth remains untold
Will somebody please tell
The man that the shit has hit the fan
Where did the love go
Did we lose it somehow
Where did the love go
Where is it now
Where did the love go
Did we lose it somehow
Tell me, where did the love go
The lyrics of Sylver's song "Where Did The Love Go" address the loss of love, unity, and compassion in our society. The opening lines describe a scene of children playing in "poisoned sand," suggesting the pollution and destruction of the natural environment that future generations will inherit. The subsequent lines depict people who remain unconvinced by evidence or proof, perhaps suggesting a growing distrust in science, facts, and information.
The second verse suggests that the world is ruled by absent-minded people who waste lives without regard for their value. It also comments on the greed of those in power, who are motivated solely by their self-interest. These lines suggest that the world is becoming increasingly disconnected from love and compassion, giving way to a culture of selfishness and egotism.
The chorus repeats the question "Where did the love go?" and wonders whether it has been lost somehow. The use of the word "somehow" suggests that the loss of love and compassion has been gradual and perhaps unnoticed until it has become too late. The song asks for an explanation for how we arrived at this current state of affairs.
In conclusion, "Where Did The Love Go" speaks to a general sense of despair at the current state of our society. Its lyrics suggest that we have lost touch with important values like love, unity, and compassion, and that we are becoming increasingly disconnected from one another. The message is that we need to find a way to reconnect with these values if we hope to build a better future.
