The title track "Silent Wings" is a surprisingly uplifting and joyful meditation on death, while "Hideaway" is a gorgeous ballad about both love and isolation, and features a lovely cello performance by Julia Kent (Rasputina).

Silent Wings also features some great guitar work from Jon Gordon (Madonna, Suzanne Vega), saxophone from Baron Ramonde (Rod Stewart) and track 7, "Justified" was co-written with Rick Moody, author of The Ice Storm.
