Songfacts®:

  • The opening track of The Colour In Anything, James Blake's first record in three years, "Radio Silence" was also the first song written for the album.
  • The album was originally going to be named after this song. "This was going to be the title track because there was almost a running joke that there'd been so much radio silence from me in my absence," Blake told BBC 1 Radio DJ Annie Mac.
  • This lament to a lost relationship finds a pained Blake perplexed by his lover unexpectedly walking out on him. He cannot believe that she doesn't want to see him anymore.
