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.
Twisting the Chain
Lucie Silvas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wear it like a coat of armour
You closed your eyes and chose your battleground
And there's no way through you
'Cause I'm still over here and you're still over there
You're pulling me to you, where I wanna be.
And I'm right there with you
I can match you're pain.
You're twisting the chain
Do I run back to you or run away again?
You think it doesn't matter
You're gonna hurt yourself before I do
You're aiming at me, I'll throw it back to you,
And I feel I'm losing
'Cause I'm still over here and you're still over there.
You're pulling me to you, where I wanna be.
You're twisting the chain
And I'm right there with you
I can match you're pain
You're twisting the chain
Do I run back to you or run away again?
Whatever you think, whatever you say,
Nothing you do could ever push me away
Whatever you think, whatever you say,
Nothing you do could ever push me away.
I'm trying hard to break down the walls
You never let me get to the core
You know I'm not the enemy
So take these chains away from me.
You're twisting the chain
And I'm right there with you
I can match you're pain.
You're twisting the chain
Do I run back to you or run away again?
The song Twisting the Chain is about a couple who are having relationship troubles. The singer is trying to comfort her partner who is hurting and wearing it like a coat of armor. They have both chosen their battleground and seem to be unable to find a way through to each other. The line "You're pulling me to you, where I wanna be" shows that despite the difficulties they face, the singer still wants to be with their partner.
The chorus "You're twisting the chain and I'm right there with you, I can match your pain" indicates that the singer is experiencing the same level of pain as their partner. The line "Do I run back to you or run away again?" suggests that the singer is torn between staying and leaving the relationship. They recognize that their partner is hurting themselves more than they will ever hurt the singer. The repeating lines "Whatever you think, whatever you say, Nothing you do could ever push me away" shows that the singer is willing to stay in the relationship.
Overall, the song is a powerful depiction of the pain and struggle that comes with maintaining a difficult relationship. The lyrics show the complex emotions involved in this situation, and the sense of despair that can come despite the singer's love for their partner.
Line by Line Meaning
I can see you're hurting
I can perceive that you're going through a hard time
You wear it like a coat of armour
You're hiding your pain and protecting yourself by projecting it outward
You closed your eyes and chose your battleground
You've decided on the place and way you want to confront your challenges
And there's no way through you
You're blocking anyone who tries to reach out and help you
'Cause I'm still over here and you're still over there
We're apart and it seems like you've moved on already
You're pulling me to you, where I wanna be.
You have a certain charm that attracts me to you, and I don't mind coming back to you
You're twisting the chain
You're deliberately causing some tension between us
And I'm right there with you
I feel the tension, too
I can match you're pain.
I understand your pain, because I've been through something similar
Do I run back to you or run away again?
I'm at a crossroads and I'm not sure whether I should make a move for you or avoid you
You think it doesn't matter
You believe that my actions towards you won't have any consequences
You're gonna hurt yourself before I do
You seem to be your own worst enemy and self-destructive
You're aiming at me, I'll throw it back to you,
You're directing your anger or pain towards me, but I'm not going to tolerate it and will respond in kind
And I feel I'm losing
I'm not sure if I'm making any progress with you or if we're drifting apart
Whatever you think, whatever you say, Nothing you do could ever push me away
Don't worry, I will always be there for you and nothing you do will change that
I'm trying hard to break down the walls
I'm doing everything I can to get closer to you and understand you better
You never let me get to the core
You're avoiding opening up to me and preventing me from getting to know you better
You know I'm not the enemy
I am on your side and I want the best for you
So take these chains away from me.
I don't want to feel restrained by the tension between us anymore
