"Suffer In Silence" by Glass Tiger

Glass Tiger roared onto the music charts in 1986 with their monster hit, "Don't Forget Me (When I'm Gone)." The song bolted to #2 and was followed up by another hit ballad, "Someday," which reached #7. A third single was mined from the album, the excellent "I Will Be There," which got to #34. Fellow Canadian rocker Bryan Adams lent his chops on a few of the tracks from the successful debut LP, "The Thin Red Line."

The band's 1988 follow-up, "Diamond Sun," did not match the success of "Thin Red Line," but did spawn one charting single, "I'm Still Searching," which reached #31. The band released a third album in 1990 called "Simple Mission" that was more guitar-driven and rock oriented. Great record, but it failed to perform in the US.

"Suffer In Silence" is a contemplative ballad that comes from the sophomore record "Diamond Sun." I have a weakness for melancholy down-on-my-luck songs, and this one is terrific.
