- "Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)" is a song performed by Mike + The Mechanics. Written by Mike Rutherford and B. A. Robertson, it was the first track on the 1985 self-titled debut album of Mike + the Mechanics. It was also released as the band's first single, peaking at number 6 on 8 March 1986 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and number 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, where it stayed for five weeks. It reached No. 21 in the band's native United Kingdom. Paul Carrack provided lead vocals on the song. Alan Murphy was hired as a session guitarist and provided lead guitar on the track. The song's original title was simply "Silent Running"; the name extension was given when the song was chosen to appear in the 1986 movie On Dangerous Ground, which was titled Choke Canyon in the United States. The song was banned by the BBC during the Gulf War due to its address of war, nationalism and religion, as well as a direct reference to weaponry in the line, "There's a gun and ammunition just inside the doorway."

- Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground) is een nummer van de Britse band Mike & the Mechanics uit 1986. Het is de eerste single van hun titelloze debuutalbum. Paul Carrack verzorgt de leadvocalen op het nummer. De titel van het nummer is slechts "Silent Running", maar omdat het gebruikt wordt in de film On Dangerous Ground wordt de filmtitel er ook in verwerkt. Volgens Mike Rutherford gaat het nummer over "een idee dat de vader van een gezin vooruit is in de tijd, zodat hij terug kan kijken en kan zien wat er in Engeland gaat gebeuren, en dat belooft niet veel goeds. Hij probeert een bericht terug te krijgen naar zijn familie om hen te waarschuwen dat de dreigende ramp eraan komt. Vandaar de regel: 'Can you hear me, can you hear me calling you?'". De BBC boycotte het nummer lange tijd vanwege de politiek geladen teksten over oorlog, nationalisme en religie. "Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground)" werd een bescheiden hitje in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, waar het de 21e positie behaalde. Hoewel het nummer in Nederland slechts een 10e positie in de Tipparade behaalde, werd het er toch een radiohit die tot op de dag van vandaag veel airplay krijgt. (nl)
- Silent Running (On Dangerous Ground) è una canzone del gruppo inglese Mike + The Mechanics, scritta da Mike Rutherford e B.A. Robertson e pubblicata come primo singolo dell’album d’esordio Mike + The Mechanics (album) nel 1985. Raggiunse la sesta posizione nella Billboard Hot 100 (la numero uno nella Mainstream Rock Airplay) e si fermò alla ventunesima piazza nella classifica nel Regno Unito. Paul Carrack è la voce principale in questo brano, che in origine doveva semplicemente chiamarsi Silent Running. Il titolo fu modificato quando entrò a far parte della colonna sonora di Energia pulita, conosciuto come On Dangerous Ground nel Regno Unito. (it)
