Editors first aired "No Sound but the Wind" at Glastonbury in 2008, and Tom Smith wrote it after reading Cormac McCarthy's novel The Road. A demo, with different words from the finished song, went onto The Twilight Saga: New Moon soundtrack, and the song kept changing shape from there while it settled into the British band's live sets as a fan favourite.
The version that counts here was captured live at Belgium's Rock Werchter festival and released as a single in 2010, and the Belgians took it to heart: it went to number one there, the band's second chart-topper in the country after "Papillon", went gold that December and was later certified platinum. Strangely, it was never released in Britain at all.
