You don't need anything else, you're totally happy. I have to say that I was sulking for two days for no reason." Īs for the meaning of the song, he said, "It's just about a feeling of not wanting anything else, feeling totally satisfied, and even the words and everything seem an intrusion. We could really hear that it had a crossover potential. So I was sulking for about two days but after he sped it up, I got used to it and added the guitar part, which adds to the whole atmosphere. Alan had this idea to speed it up and make it a bit more disco which I was really averse to at first, because I thought ‘the song is called 'Enjoy The Silence' and it’s supposed to be about serenity, and serenity doesn’t go with the disco beat’. When I finished the demo of this song it was more of a ballad and sounded a bit like the harmonium version that came out on one of the formats. Martin Gore explained how the song came together on issue 37 of Bong Magazine (the official Depeche Mode fan club magazine): "This was the only time ever in the studio when we thought we had a hit single. Promo releases are titled "Enjoy The Silence (Reinterpreted)" while singles are titled "Enjoy The Silence 04". Singles were released for 3 remixes of "Enjoy The Silence", each of which can be differentiated by the number of dots on the title: Mike's remix has either 1 or none while "Timo Maas Extended Remix" has 2 or 3 and "Richard X Extended Mix" has 4. The remix isn't found on the 2-CD edition (with 2 dots) of the album.
On the standard edition of the album (with 1 dot on the title), Mike Shinoda's remix is track 12, but on the Limited Edition (3-CD edition with 3 dots on the title) it is track 13 on disc 3. It was re-released as a single in 2004 for the band's remix project Remixes 81–04. The song was recorded in 1989 and released on 16 January 1990 as the album's second single.
