Enjoy the Silence
(Originally by Depeche Mode)

APPEARS ON:
Cover Like Tan (2008)
Live at Howler's EP (2007)

Notes:
This song was originally on the Violator (1990) album which as a fan of electro is a big record for me. One day in an early rehearsal I started playing a country style version as a joke. As it turns out, Maura really like it and it became one of the first two cover songs we arranged (the other being U2's Love is Blindness).We've changed the feel of the original quite a bit, but I believe we were still more respectful to it than that god-awful Lacuna Coil version that came out around the same period. It became a crowd favorite and filled a lot of the early setlists when we didn't have enough originals to make the 30 minute mark. It's since been retired in 2008. The recorded version on Cover Like Tan is more or less how we play it live with a few more elements thrown in to flesh it out.
