“Enjoy the Silence” is a song by English electronic music band Depeche Mode from the album Violator. Recorded in 1989, it was released as the second single from their seventh studio album, Violator, on 5 February 1990. The single is Gold certificated in the US and Germany.

At first, this was a ballad played on an organ. Alan Wilder got the idea to speed up the song. The other members didn’t like the idea, but after some time became convinced.

Martin Gore recalled to Mojo magazine September 2012: “The original demo of Enjoy the Silence was very slow and minimal, just me and a harmonium, and Alan (Wilder) had this idea of putting a beat to it. We added the choir chords and (producer) Flood and Alan said, ‘Why don’t you play some guitar over the top?’ That’s when I came up with the riff. I think that’s the only time in our history when we all looked at each other and said, ‘I think this might be a hit.'” >>
In the UK this won a 1990 Brit award for best British single.

This was Depeche Mode’s biggest chart hit in the United States.
