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.

Famous quotes containing the words tracing, lines, silent and/or cry:
“And if anyone should think I am tracing this matter too curiously, I, who have considered it in various shapes, can only answer with Hamlet ... “Not a jot”; it being no more than the natural result of examining and considering the subject.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
“We stand in the tumult of a festival.
What festival? This loud, disordered mooch?
These hospitaliers? These brute-like guests?
These musicians dubbing at a tragedy,
A-dub, a-dub, which is made up of this:
That there are no lines to speak? There is no play.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Logic is the procession or proportionate unfolding of the intuition; but its virtue is as silent method; the moment it would appear as propositions, and have a separate value, it is worthless.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“And still we wear our uniforms, follow
The cracked cry of the bugles, comb and brush
Our pride and prejudice, doctor the sallow
Initial ardor, wish to keep it fresh.
Still we applaud the President’s voice and face.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
