In the 1990s, two musicians named Stuart Watret and Carl Holden formed a band called Harvey and recorded a song called 'Silver' on the Isle of Man. At the time, they were just out of university and did not have much money. They found a recording studio in Douglas, run by Dave Armstrong, who played bass on the track. To pay for the recording, Stuart and Carl painted the back of Dave's house. The song 'Silver' was inspired by Stuart's experiences of young love. While working as a cleaner in Preston, he would call his girlfriend, who was studying in York, and dream about taking the train to see her. The lyrics talk about the excitement and hope that comes with being young and in love.
For many years, 'Silver' was mostly forgotten. It was not played on the radio or heard by many people. But recently, the song has found a new audience. It was featured in a popular TV series called 'Love Story,' which is available to watch on Disney+. The show tells the story of John F. Kennedy Jr and Carolyn Bessette, who were famous in the 1990s. The series has become the most watched limited series on the streaming platform. Because 'Silver' was included in the show's playlist, it has now been streamed more than 87,000 times. Stuart, who sang on the track, was diagnosed with a rare illness called primary lateral sclerosis, or PLS, which has made it difficult for him to speak. He finds it ironic that now, when he cannot use his voice much, his singing is being heard by so many people.
Stuart and Carl are excited that their music is reaching new listeners. Even though Stuart's illness makes it hard for him to perform, new technology has helped them continue making music. Carl can sing and use artificial intelligence to make it sound like Stuart's voice. They are working on two new albums together. The Isle of Man still feels like their musical home, and they have fond memories of recording 'Silver' there. They hope that more people will discover their music and enjoy the story behind their song. The journey of 'Silver' shows how music can find new life, even many years after it was first created.
