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.
What You're Made Of
Lucie Silvas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We can go backwards, and no corners have been turned
I can't control it, if I sink or if I swim
'Cause I chose the waters that I'm in
Que da igual si tú o yo
Si lo entiendes o si no
Yo merezco mucho mas
If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You where willing but unable to give me anymore
There's no way, you're changing
Cause some things will just never be mine
You're not love this time, but it's alright
Siempre te escucho y resulta igual a nada
Tengo mil dudas sobre tu sinceridad
Creo que es justo recibir lo que te he dado
Porque yo mismo decidí
And it makes no difference who is right or wrong
I deserve much more than this
'Cause there's only one thing I want
Si no estás para esto
No eres lo que yo busqué
El quererme no lo es todo
Pudiste darme más
No sigas, no cambies, hay cosas que no me entregarás
No es verdad, no hay mas, pero ya está bien
What's your definition of the one
What you really want him to become?
No matter what I sacrifice it's still never enough
Como te dije, me hundiré sin remisión
Porque me encuentro donde yo quise decir
If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
El quererme no lo és todo, to give me anymore
There's no way, no cambies, hay cosas que no me entregarás
You're not in love this time
Si no estás para esto
No eres lo que yo busqué
El quererme no lo es todo
To give me anymore
There's no way, you're changing
Cause somethings will just never be mine
You're not love this time
No es verdad, no hay mas
You're not love this time
Lucie Silvas's song "What You're Made Of" speaks about a relationship that has come to an end due to the lack of effort from one of the partners. The singer predicts that they have reached a point of no return where they can no longer go back to how things were. They cannot turn corners or change directions to salvage the relationship. The singer tries to come to terms with this reality, admitting that she cannot control whether she will sink or swim. Yet she acknowledges that she had a choice in the waters she chose to swim in, and she now has to navigate the consequences of that choice.
The chorus echoes this sentiment by saying that if someone is not made of the right substance, they are not what the singer is looking for. The partner involved was willing but unable to give more, and some things will just never be hers. The singer deserves much more than what she is receiving, and because of her partner's inability to change, she knows this will not be love this time.
The song strongly conveys a message of self-worth and self-love. The singer wants something that her partner cannot give, and while it hurts, she knows that she must move on to find someone who can. The line "no matter what I sacrifice, it's still never enough" shows that the singer has given a lot to this relationship and that it is not returning what she wants.

Like I predicted
We're at the point of no return
We can't go backwards
And the corners have been turned
I can't control it
If I sink or if I swim
Coz I chose the waters that I'm in
And it makes no difference
Who is right or wrong
I deserve much more than this
Coz there's only one thing I want
If it's not
What you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You were willing
But unable
To give me anymore
There's no way
You're changing
Coz somethings
Will just never be mine
You're not loved this time
But it's alright
Oooh oh oh
I hear you talking
But your words don't mean a thing
I doubt you ever
Put your heart in anything
It's not much to ask for
To get back what I brought in
But I chose the waters that I'm in
And it makes no difference
Who is right or wrong
I deserve much more than this
Coz there's only one thing I want
If it's not
What you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You were willing
But unable
To give me anymore
There's no way
You're changing
Coz somethings
Will just never be mine
You're not loved this time
But it's alright
What's your definition of the one
Oh ooh
Whatcha really want him to become
Oh oh
No matter what I sacrifice
It's still never enough
Just like I predicted
I will sink before I swim
Coz these aren't waters that I'm in
If it's not
What you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You were willing
But unable
To give me anymore
There's no way
You're changing
Coz somethings
Will just never be mine
You're not loved this time
You're not loved this time
You're not loved this time

Lucie is so underrated in the music media, its unreal, She is a superstar in my eyes.

Even that I'm not a Lucie Silvas fan, I agree that she is very underrated. I heard her sing this in french. It's not even her language but she sang it flawlessly, even better than some french singers.
