History
The name Silkstone is Old English in origin and is thought to derive from the Anglo-Saxon man's name Sylc and the suffix tūn meaning a farmstead, giving "Sylc's farmstead". The earliest known written record of Silkstone is the Domesday Book of 1086, when Silkstone is referred to as a part of the manor of Cawthorne:
In Calthorne (Cawthorne) Ailric had three carucates of land to be taxed and there may be two ploughs there. The same now has it of Ilbert; himself two ploughs there, and four villanes with two ploughs. There is a priest and a church, wood pasture two miles long and two broad; the whole manor three miles long and two broad. Value in King Edward’s time forty shillings, now twenty shillings. To this manor belongs Silchestone, one carucate and a half.
Silkstone (group)
Silkstone was a Dutch pop band that was established in 1996, by singer Niels Geusebroek and guitarist Frans van Essen. There were many changes in line-up of the band with various members that included earlier on Daniel van Luipen (bass), Paul van Twisk (keyboards), Boxie van Gerrisheim and Jeroen Vrolijk (drums).
After initial limited success, they were picked up by Sony BMG that signed them in 2001. Their debut single "Ready" gained heavy play on Dutch radio becoming their first charting hit. Soon followed their debut album What's the Reason that was released on Sony in 2003 and sold more than 15,000 copies. In addition to singer Geusebroek and guitarist van Essen, the line-up of Silkstone now included Niels Bik (drums), Dave Besse (bass) and Marco Kuypers (keyboards). The band toured in Europe and notably the States and Russia.
For their second album, they started working with local producers John Sonnveld and Oscar Holleman and English producers Paul Simm and Sam Frank. The result was Here in Your World released in 2008 with the title track being the first single from the album. The band called quits in 2009, after heaving played for 13 years, with members preferring to go their separate careers.

Not When You Don't Care
by: Silkstonewe all think the world is fine
and death is just a waste of time
why would you care...
things happen now and then
and you don't really give a damn
when you weren't there...
why, why would this bother
life just seems alright
you can't take me down there
why would i wonder what to do now
when the world has lost its mind
hey i'm feeling fine
but not when you don't care...
school's out and victim's down
but no one seems to be around
cause you weren't there...
things happen now and then
but you don't really give a damn
why would you care...
i'm afraid
of the world today
breath the air
and try and seem to care
open mind
try to feel alright
but i'm afraid
