The song that Noel recorded was originally called "Spanish Morning".
At that time, Noel worked as assistant bartender at a club, only to discover that his boss had good contacts, and knew artists like David Bowie and Mick Jagger.
Noel rewrote the song, and called it "Silent Morning".
[4] Spin listed the recording of "Silent Morning" as the seventh of ten "Great Moments in Recording Studio History," due to an alleged event in which "producer Aaron Hanson (of Hanson & Davis) put a gun to Noel's head and threatened to blow his head off if he didn't sing the song Hanson's way.
That night, Noel asked Aleida to be his girlfriend, and they dated for several years.
