Sarah:"It was a completed track, I was merely to sing over it. It was a bit of a challenge,because it's very, very different from the type of music that I normally do. Because I write solely for my own stuff usually, I start with chords and melody. So this is very much going from the opposite direction. But I listened to it a lot, and tried to come up with a bunch of different melodies. I went into the studio and sang a bunch of stuff for Bill and he sort of went 'oh yeah, that sounds great.' After three or four hours in the studio it came together. Actually, I think I wrote most of the lyrics in the studio, come to think about it now. I sort of got there and wasn't prepared."
Were you just given a track to do, or did you have a choice?
Sarah:"I was given a choice of tracks, months and months before, and I was like I can't do it, I have no time. And then they came back to me months and months later and I actually had time to sit down and listen to one and I quite liked it. Actually, I liked a lot of them but the ones they were going to have vocals on had already been chosen. So they gave me 'Silence' and I really like some of the melodies and the choral stuff."
Were you a fan of Delerium?
Sarah: "I am attracted to that style of music. It's very trance like, and it certainly evokes certain moods for me." . Try the text only version.
