The Tremeloes - Silence Is Golden (2024 Stereo Mix)

New stereo mix, sourced from the original mono mix.

"Silence Is Golden" is a song initially recorded by the American rock band the Four Seasons. Written by Bob Crewe and Bob Gaudio, Philips Records released it in 1964 as the B-side of the U.S. number 1 single "Rag Doll", which was also written by Crewe and Gaudio. The Tremeloes' 1967 cover version reached number 1 on the UK Singles Chart and number 11 on the US charts.

In 1967 British band The Tremeloes recorded their sound-alike version, using the same arrangement as the original. It reached the top position on the UK chart on 18 May 1967, where it stayed for three weeks. Band member Len "Chip" Hawkes remembered getting up in the middle of the night, going to London with the rest of the band, and walking down The Strand, on the night the song reached number one. Guitarist Rick Westwood sang lead vocal on "Silence Is Golden". In the U.S., Epic Records released the single, which reached number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was one of the top 100 songs of 1967. The record sold one million copies globally, earning gold disc status.

Massively underrated bunch. Their psych pop sessions are amazing.

Lyrics:

Oh, don't it hurt deep inside
To see someone do something to her
Oh, don't it pain to see someone cry
Oh, especially when someone is her

Silence is golden
But my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden
But my eyes still see

Talking is cheap, people follow like sheep
Even though there is nowhere to go
How could she tell? He deceived her so well
Pity she'll be the last one to know

Silence is golden
But my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden
But my eyes still see

How many times did she fall for his lies?
Should I tell her or should I keep cool?
And if I tried I know she'll say I lied
Mind your business, don't hurt her, you fool

Silence is golden
But my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden
But my eyes still see
But my eyes still see
But my eyes still see

This song reminds me of the plandemic..While reading Facebook comments, I was thinking "They don't know the truth. They don't want to know the truth, They're attacking anyone who tells them the truth. I'm staying the fck out of this. Let them get their GDmn jab."
