Music plays a pretty vital part of my life. In between my blog posts for my advertising class, I'll be discussing some pretty amazing music that I feel needs to be better known to the free world. This blog topic, "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode. However, the attached video and song are from a remixed version by Mike Shinoda. The original is amazing, I've also heard a few covers by bands like Anberlin, Lacuna Coil, and I feel that those are equally legit, but this one just stood head and shoulders above the others. There's something about the use of the original band's voice but incorporated into a newer mixed instrumental sound that makes it sound really good. I especially enjoy the thought behind the song, "enjoy the silence." How often do people actually take the time to sit in silence, with no other sounds around them. Its sometimes peaceful and sometimes serene, and words are sometimes "unnecessary and will only do harm." I feel thats the message behind the song, to enjoy the silence, to find the good that is in silence and embrace it in your life. The next time you feel slightly overwhelmed, sit down in silence and just enjoy it. That's what its meant for. Enjoy.
