Mary Elizabeth McGlynn

For those of you who play the Silent Hill games will know this name very well.

Mary Elizabeth McGlynn

She is a fantastic vocalist and actress who has sung on a number of Silent Hill tracks. I just wanted to take this opportunity to sit back and appreciate Mary's beautiful voice in a couple of tracks below.

This one is called "Room of Angel" from Silent Hill 4: The Room...Music by Akira Yamaoka and Joe Romersa. The song is very soft and gentle, yet it's depressing lyrics give the song a sort of eerie feel to it.


The next song I want to share with you is from Silent Hill: Origins called "Shot Down In Flames". it's a sort of heavyish Rock song, and Mary's vocals are strong and powerful giving the song a solid edge.



The last song I want to share with you is probably the most known Silent Hill song of hers, it's the main song from Silent Hill 3 called "You're Not Here" and it is also my alarm tone to wake me up in the morning. It has strong lyrics and a great guitar riff at the start. Also this one comes with it's own music video :D



I will leave you to take in these tracks. There are loads more on youtube. Also check out Akira Yamaoka, he composed all the music for the Silent Hill games, some are amazing pieces of music. Very atmospheric...so check them out!
