Tracing Lines / Silent Cry
Tracing Lines and Silent Cry are the double a-side singles from Feeder, and was released on August 24, 2008. It was meant to be released on the 25th, but it appeared on the UK iTunes Store a day early as all downloads in the UK charts as well as physical sales include those on a Sunday.
Both songs, 'Tracing Lines' and 'Silent Cry' are taken from their sixth album, Silent Cry. The single was originally meant to be just Tracing Lines, released on August 11, 2008. However Silent Cry was later added along with the announcement that it would be a download-only single. Feeder's fans slated this due to being no physical release or any new material worth collecting. There are still promo copies of "Tracing Lines" available on sites such as eBay, which are more collectible than most promos, as they were pressed when the single was "Tracing Lines" only.
The band themselves expressed very little attention into the singles promotion, in which at the Reading leg of the Reading and Leeds festival, the song was dropped from the set list in exchange for a cover of Nirvana's "Breed", with no mention by Grant Nicholas of the single during the set. Had the single been released on CD format as originally planned, the catalogue number would have been ECSCD205.
The single charted outside the top 200.

“In mind, she was of a strong and vigorous turn, having from her earliest youth devoted herself with uncommon ardour to the study of the law; not wasting her speculations upon its eagle flights, which are rare, but tracing it attentively through all the slippery and eel-like crawlings in which it commonly pursues its way.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“Every living language, like the perspiring bodies of living creatures, is in perpetual motion and alteration; some words go off, and become obsolete; others are taken in, and by degrees grow into common use; or the same word is inverted to a new sense or notion, which in tract of time makes an observable change in the air and features of a language, as age makes in the lines and mien of a face.”
—Richard Bentley (1662–1742)
“the silent isle imbowers
The Lady of Shalott.”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“The harlot’s cry from street to street
Shall weave old England’s winding sheet.”
