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.
Something About You
Lucie Silvas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'd think by now that I would have figured out
How to follow my heart
I thought I knew love like the back of my hand
But now it seems that all of my best laid plans
Are falling apart and this magnetic field is pulling me back in
Trying to hold back what I'm feeling
It doesn't matter that I've got so much to lose
There's something about you
Like I'm on stage with the light in my eyes
I'm losing my place and messing up all my lines
You know there's nowhere to hide now
It won't be long before
I'm waiting at your door
I've been watching from a distance
Trying to hold back what I'm feeling
It doesn't matter that I've got so much to lose
There's something about you
This is the right place at the wrong time for loving you
I wish I could tell you the way I feel
I've been watching from a distance
Trying to hold back what I'm feeling
It doesn't matter that I've got so much to lose
There's something about you
In Lucie Silvas's song "Something About You", the lyrics describe the inner turmoil of the singer as she struggles with her feelings towards someone. She starts by expressing her uncertainty about her path forward, admitting that she still has doubts despite all the experiences she's been through. She thought she had it all figured out, but now she realizes that she's falling apart and being pulled back into a complicated situation. The magnetic field she refers to may symbolize the attraction she feels towards this person despite knowing the risks it entails.
As the song progresses, Silvas sings about how she's been trying to suppress her emotions and maintain a distance from the person who's causing her confusion. She knows that getting involved with them could cost her a lot, but there's still something about them that makes her want to take the risk. She compares herself to being on stage and forgetting her lines, unable to hide her true feelings for long. The line "It won't be long before I'm waiting at your door" suggests that she's about to give in to her desires and pursue this person despite it all.
The song's overall tone is melancholic, as Silvas sings about the pain and uncertainty of falling in love. It speaks to the struggle of navigating complicated relationships and admitting to oneself that sometimes, following the heart means accepting its vulnerability.

Walking this road with a shadow of doubt
Moving forward with uncertainty and hesitation
You'd think by now that I would have figured out

But now it seems that all of my best laid plans
Are falling apart and this magnetic field is pulling me back in
My previous understanding of love has proven inadequate and I'm drawn towards this new person despite my attempts to resist
Like I'm on stage with the light in my eyes
I'm losing my place and messing up all my lines
You know there's nowhere to hide now
Feeling exposed and vulnerable like a performer on stage, with no way to conceal my emotions and actions
It won't be long before
I'm waiting at your door
The inevitable pull towards this new person will soon lead me to seek them out
This is the right place at the wrong time for loving you
I wish I could tell you the way I feel

I've been struggling to resist my attraction to this person despite the potential risks and consequences, because of an inexplicable pull or allure they possess
