Born Lucie Joanne Silverman. Lucie left school in the sixth form, where she became a backing vocalist for ex-Take That vocalist Gary Barlow and singer Judie Tzuke. In 2000 Lucie Silvas recorded her album "Forget Me Not" - with tracks including the single "It's Too Late". This song entered the charts with a low position, and Lucie was subsequently dropped from her record label.
She then went on to write songs for other artists including Will Young, Gareth Gates, Rachel Stevens and Liberty X.
In 2003, Lucie was signed to Mercury Records, and given a long time to write her debut album, Breathe In. The first single from this album, What You're Made Of entered the charts at number 7, and a few weeks later the album entered the charts at number 11 (the highest chart position it has gained, although it has returned to this position on multiple occasions). Following TV appearances on the Ivor Novello Elton John tribute show, and All Time Greatest Love Songs with Ronan Keating, Lucie Silvas released her second single from the album, Breathe In, which debuted at number 6. Lucie then released power-ballad The Game Is Won and the rock-esque Don't Look Back which entered the charts at numbers 38 and 34 respectively. However, the last single from her album, a self-penned ballad entitled Forget Me Not, entered the UK charts at a low #76.
Having been in the business for almost a year, Lucie has a UK tour, a platinum album and 4 top 40 singles already under her belt. On November 2nd 2005 Lucie embarked upon her next tour, starting in Brighton and has already written her much anticipated follow up album in 2005. Lucie has also been collaborating with the critically acclaimed songwriter Eg White, with whom she wrote the Will Young single Who Am I.
Lucie's second album The Same Side was recorded in late 2006. It was released in October 2006 in the Netherlands and in March 2007 in the UK and the rest of Europe. The first UK single, "Last Year" was premiered on BBC Radio 2 in late August 2006, and a duet with Marco Borsato, "Everytime I Think of You," in the Netherlands. The Same Side was produced by Danton Supple, who produced Coldplay's X&Y. In the Netherlands, "Everytime I Think of You" charted on #35 on downloads only, topping the Dutch Top 40 in the next 3 weeks. It became her first Number 1 single in the Netherlands.
"Last Year" was the first single in the UK and peaked at #79, and #114 in Republic of Ireland. Following this setback, Mercury Records decided to postpone the UK release of her new album, which had been scheduled for October 2006; it was re-scheduled for March 12 2007.
The second single chosen was "Sinking In", a Pop/Rock song released on 5 March 2007 in the United Kingdom and Ireland. The single was released as a download only and did not create much interest and did not enter the charts at all.
The album charted at #62 on the UK Albums Chart in its first week, selling 8,000 copies in its first week. At the second week, the album charted outside the Top 100, selling only 2,000 more copies. A DVD of The Same Side has been released in the Netherlands.
After "The Same Side" failed to impact on the charts Lucie was subsequently dropped by her label.
Lucie has spent the last few months working on new music in Nashville, Tennessee and NYC, as well as in studios in the UK. Several demos have been recorded and posted to various sites on the internet such as Lucie's official myspace page. In August 2009, Lucie revealed that she was writing with Australian singer Delta Goodrem. In September 2009 Lucie also told fans on Twitter she was working on getting new material out in 2010 and was also planning a European tour.
In February 2010, she spent some time in the studio with Nadine Coyle of Girls Aloud [5].
Her fiance is the Leicester and Ireland rugby player Geordan Murphy.
Like You Love Me
Lucie Silvas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Woah... mm mmm
Its not every day you wake up
And admit who you really are
Most days its easier to shut yourself up
And never look that far
This is me, I'm covered
What I hid behind the door
And everything she says angers
I'm apologizing for
[Chorus:]
Do you see her when you see me?
Understand her insecurities?
And accept the part she plays in me?
Could you love her....like you love me?
Like you love me
Ohh, like you love me
Woahhh....
Id rather be who you think I am
See myself through your eyes
'cause the mirror you use can't be too harsh
And I want it to tell me lies
So today I'll be brave and I'll face myself
Show you who I really am
'cause wherever I go she follows me
can you reach out for her hand?
[Chorus:]
Do you see her when you see me?
Understand her insecurities?
Ohh, And accept the part she plays in me?
Could you love her....like you love me?
I'm not perfect but I try to be
Oh, could you really have the hold in me
Sometimes what you get isn't what you see
Could you believe in her, like you believe in me?
Ohhh.....hey hey, yeh yeh...ohh woah..
Mmm...do you love her, woah...
Do you see her when you see me?
Understand her insecurities
Ohh, And accept the part she plays in me?
Could you love her...woah
Do you see her when you see me
Understand her insecurities
Ohh, and accept the part she plays in me
Could you love her.........like you love me?
Like you love me
Ohh...like you love me
Woah, like you....love me....
The song "Like You Love Me" by Lucie Silvas is a deeply personal and introspective track about revealing one's true self to another person, and asking whether they can love every part of you, even the parts you hide away. Silvas addresses the fact that it can be easier to keep up a facade and not reveal your true nature to the world, but she also acknowledges the importance of being vulnerable and honest with a partner. The verses describe the internal struggle of hiding and revealing herself, while the chorus directly asks the question of whether her partner can accept and love every aspect of her, including the parts that make her feel insecure.
The bridge of the song shows that Silvas is aware that she may not be perfect, but still wants her partner to see past her flaws and love her unconditionally. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the central question of whether her partner can love her entirely, with all of her vulnerabilities and insecurities.
Overall, "Like You Love Me" is a powerful and emotional plea for authentic connection and acceptance in a relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
Its not every day you wake up
Admitting one's true self is not an everyday occurrence
And admit who you really are
Confronting one's true self is a difficult task
Most days its easier to shut yourself up
Hiding behind a facade is convenient and preferable
And never look that far
Avoiding introspection is a common behavior
This is me, I'm covered
The true self is shrouded by pretense
What I hid behind the door
The authentic self is kept hidden
And everything she says angers
The true self's thoughts provoke negative emotions
I'm apologizing for
The facade self is apologizing for the real self's sentiments
Do you see her when you see me?
Can you recognize the true self within the facade?
Understand her insecurities?
Can you empathize with the authentic self?
And accept the part she plays in me?
Can you embrace both the facade and the true self as parts of the same person?
Could you love her....like you love me?
Can you love the real self as much as the facade self?
Id rather be who you think I am
The fear of rejection leads one to prioritize the facade self
See myself through your eyes
The facade self wants to be validated by others
And I want it to tell me lies
The facade self wants to maintain the illusion of perfection
Today I'll be brave and I'll face myself
Today I'll confront my true self with courage
Show you who I really am
I'll reveal my authentic self to you
Can you reach out for her hand?
Can you acknowledge and connect with the real self?
I'm not perfect but I try to be
The facade self strives for perfection
Could you really have the hold in me
Can you accept both the facade and the true self?
Sometimes what you get isn't what you see
The facade self doesn't always reflect the true self
Could you believe in her, like you believe in me?
Can you have the same faith in the authentic self as you have in the facade self?
