Following the split of Steps in December 2001, the pair formed a duo and released their debut single "DJ" on WEA Records in May 2002. Peaking at #1 on various club charts, the single debuted and peaked on the UK Singles chart at #3, spending one week in the Top 10. Their second single, "Half A Heart" followed in August 2002, peaking and debuting at #8 on the UK Singles chart, though it dropped to #29 in its second week of release and fell from the chart the following week. Their third and final single release, "All Out Of Love / Beauty & The Beast" was released in November 2002 and peaked at #10, spending 3 weeks on the UK Top 40.
Their debut album, "Another You Another Me", followed. However, it peaked at a low #58 in the UK, and WEA Records soon dropped the pair, leading them to go their separate ways in 2003.
For a short period around the time "DJ" was released, H & Claire presented the ITV Saturday Morning children's show SMTV Live.
You're a Love Song
H & Claire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On a silver platter, resting on my shoulder
But all I have is what you see
I'd give the universe
If it was up to me
When you walk into a room
I am drawn, uncontrollably to you
How the music starts to rise
[Chorus]
You're a love song, just waiting to happen
You're the music in me, everlasting
You're every love song
That ever was imagined to me
If I compare you to anything
You're the love song, I always wanted to sing
If these words sound kind of crazy
That's the way I am
I've been a wanderer, till I met you
But then again
They say love changes everything
You took this broken heart
And taught it how to sing
[Repeat chorus]
I know it's sentimental
How my heart hits the floor
When you look at me that way
And the music starts to soar
[Chorus 3]
You're a love song, just waiting to happen
You're the music in me, everlasting
You're every love song
That ever was imagined to me
(You're the sweetest melody, that sets me forever free)
[Repeat chorus 3]
You're the love song, I always wanted to sing
