Editors - Silence live at Bristol Marble Factory 2nd February 2023 (B's Recording)

Recorded by "B" on the night Editors played Bristol Marble factory, 2nd February 2023, this is Silence as seen from probably the closest point in the crowd you could ask for. Many thanks to you for this one ;)

There are songs in Editors past where Tom sounds so convincingly weary when he sings, that the vocals and the inherent melancholia in the music intertwine to create a mood of quite beautiful despair. I'm thinking of some long-lost b-sides like The Picture, or At All Cost. Maybe even the final, absolutely never to be re-recorded version of No Sound but the Wind on the Violence album? Silence belongs in that category. Especially given that it's sitting in the midst of the frantic, electronic firestorm that is EBM. It's the tune that forces you to stop dancing for a while and get your pulse back to a manageable level.

The video was a bit of a tricky one, if I'm honest. The source clip had a moment at around 26 seconds in, where the orientation went from landscape to portrait but the recording device left the picture at the wrong angle. If you enjoy looking at the world sideways, it wouldn't have been a problem. I'm sure there are super-simple ways of fixing the issue, but I'm still the kind of guy that likes to learn these things myself. It took a little while.

Eventually, I figured out a way to make it right but there's a tiny little glitch that you'll be able to spot immediately when the transition happens. That, dear listeners, is the price you pay for my occasional lack of know-how. On the positive side, I still have the original file so when my knowledge finally outpaces my incompetence some day (fingers crossed), I'll post a better version. Until then...
