She Fell In Love With Silence is the second single from the critically acclaimed album, Lostboy! A.K.A Jim Kerr
Release Date: 15th August 2010
Format: Digital
She Fell In Love With Silence is the second single to be taken from self-titled debut album from LOSTBOY! A.K.A JIM KERR, the musical alter-ego of the legendary Simple Minds singer/songwriter. It is released in the UK & Ireland as a digital download on 15th August 2010 on earMUSIC, the international pop rock label of Edel, distributed by Absolute via Universal.
Produced by Jez Coad (Simple Minds last 2 albums) and featuring Charlie Jones on bass (Robert Plant, Page & Plant, Goldfrapp) alongside long-time Simple Minds drummer Mel Gaynor, She Fell in Love With Silence is an electro-tinged, Joy Division-esque pop masterpiece.
The track is taken from recently released and critically acclaimed Lostboy! A.K.A Jim Kerr Album, which was supported by a hugely successful sell-out club tour across UK and Europe. It showcases a new musical alter ego for Jim, whilst retaining strong links with his 40-million selling, 33-year career with Simple Minds. It is all about big melodic themes, turbo charged rhythms and guitars that shine.

Jim says about the track: “She Fell In Love With Silence involves the shattered emotions of a victim of domestic abuse as she pauses to question how to make changes in life. Far from being overburdened with its subject SFILWS bounces along with a searing melody that delights and somehow projects the feeling that ‘the blows will stop’.”
James “Jim“ Kerr is the founder, songwriter and voice of Simple Minds, one of the most influential British bands to emerge from the Post-Punk revolution of 1978. After their “independent” early years, the band developed into stadium stars, enjoying worldwide chart success with a raft of genre-defining singles including “Don‘t You (Forget About Me)”, “Alive And Kicking” and “Mandela Day”. Bands including Stereophonics, Cardigans, and Kasabian regularly cite Simple Minds as their formative influence.
