rfmcdonald"Enjoy the Silence", the second single off of Depcehe Mode's 1990 album Violator, is one of my all-time favourite songs, evocatively haunting between Dave Gahan's heartfelt vocals and the gloriously chunky synths and the romantic lyrics ("All I ever wanted/All I ever needed/Is here in my arms/Words are very unnecessary/They can only do harm"). The striking Anton Corbijn music video doesn't hurt, either.
Another music video of this song is a lip-sync performance, filmed for French television, on top of one of the World Trade Center towers.
The Towers' destruction lends the video an extra poignancy, for me at least.
