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.
Without You
Lucie Silvas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And if I'm weak then you can't see my insecurities
Without you, I can do what I choose
'Cause when you got no one to love you got nothing to lose
Will there come a time, when my head finds it easier to not think about this?
And I would do any thing to stop the weight of my heart getting heavier
My only conclusion is
(That) Nothing compares to you
No matter where I look
No matter what I do
'Cause that garden of eden you took me to
Is now overgrown
And the love I've known
Is gone without you
Is gone without you
Without you, I can kid myself
That my idea of perfect love is not a fairytale
Without you, I don't need to explain
There's no one to answer to and I got, no one to blame
I can do my thing, cause who cares what tomorrow brings
When you got nothing to miss
And every time I hide in the arms of another I realise
It still comes to this
(That) Nothing compares to you
No matter where I look
No matter what I do
'Cause that garden of eden you took me to
Is now overgrown
And the love I've known
Is gone without you
What is the flower that never blooms
What's the night sky without its moon
If I'm the music you're the tune
Don't hear a sound here without you
'Cause Nothing compares to you
No matter where I look
No matter what I do
'Cause that garden of eden you took me to
Is now overgrown
'Cause nothing compares to you
No matter where I look
No matter what I do
'Cause that garden of eden you took me to
Is now overgrown
And the love I've known
Is gone without you
Is gone without you
Is gone without you
The love I've known
Is gone without you
The song "Without You" by Lucie Silvas talks about life after a breakup. The lyrics express how much easier it is to live without the person who has left them. The first verse talks about having room to breathe without the person. The singer also feels more secure because the other person can no longer see their insecurities. They can live their life without having to explain anything or answer to anyone. There is freedom to do what they want without having to worry about anything.
The second verse brings a sense of reality to the song. The singer wonders if they will ever stop thinking about their ex. They lament about the weight of their heart getting heavier, and they would do anything to stop it. However, they come to the conclusion that no matter where they look or what they do, nothing compares to the love that they once had. The garden of Eden is now overgrown, and the love is gone. The chorus repeats this sentiment and highlights that the love they once had is now missing from their life.
The bridge talks about how incomplete life is without their ex, using metaphors such as a flower that never blooms or a sky without its moon. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, highlighting that the love they've known is gone without the person.
Overall, the song depicts the emotions that come with a breakup - freedom, insecurity, and heartbreak. The singer tries to make their life work without their ex, but the love they once had is irreplaceable.
Line by Line Meaning
Without you, I have room to breathe
I feel suffocated and smothered when you're around, so being without you gives me space to live and breathe freely.
And if I'm weak then you can't see my insecurities
When you're present, I have to hide my weaknesses and insecurities, but without you, I can be vulnerable and not worry about being judged.
Without you, I can do what I choose
You always dictated my actions and controlled my life, so without you, I finally have the power to make my own decisions and live autonomously.
'Cause when you got no one to love you got nothing to lose
I don't have anyone to love me, so I have nothing left to lose. I'm not afraid of the consequences of my actions because I already have nothing.
Will there come a time, when my head finds it easier to not think about this?
I wonder if there will ever be a time when I stop thinking about you and this situation, when I can finally move on and forget about what we had.
And I would do any thing to stop the weight of my heart getting heavier
The pain of losing you is becoming unbearable, and I would do anything to stop my heart from feeling this heavy burden.
My only conclusion is
After much reflection and thought, I've come to the conclusion that there is no one else who compares to you.
(That) Nothing compares to you
No one else can replace you or come close to the love I had for you. You're one of a kind.
No matter where I look
I've searched high and low for someone else to love, but no one compares to you.
No matter what I do
I've tried to move on and find love elsewhere, but I keep coming back to the fact that no one can replace you.
'Cause that garden of eden you took me to
You brought me to a magical and perfect place where we fell in love, a place that I can never go to again.
Is now overgrown
That once-perfect garden has become overgrown and unmanageable, just like my love for you that has grown out of control and unmanageable.
And the love I've known
The love we shared and the memories we had together
Is gone without you
All of that love and all of those memories are now gone, because I can never have them with you again.
Without you, I can kid myself
I can pretend that my unrealistic expectations of true love are achievable because you're no longer here to remind me of the harsh reality.
That my idea of perfect love is not a fairytale
I can convince myself that my idealistic notion of true love is actually possible, even if it's just an illusion.
Without you, I don't need to explain
I don't have to justify my actions or explain my feelings to anyone because you were the only one I ever needed to explain myself to.
There's no one to answer to and I got, no one to blame
I answer only to myself now, and there's no one else to blame for my choices and my happiness. I alone control my own life now.
I can do my thing, cause who cares what tomorrow brings
I can live for today and not worry about tomorrow, because I don't have anyone else to worry about or consider in my decisions.
When you got nothing to miss
I can live life without regret because I didn't have much to lose in the first place.
And every time I hide in the arms of another I realise
Whenever I try to replace you with someone else, I come to the realization that no one could ever compare to you.
'Cause Nothing compares to you
No matter how hard I try to replace you, no one can even come close to who you were and what we had.
What is the flower that never blooms
Without love, life can be dull and unfulfilling. A flower that never blooms is much like living life without love.
What's the night sky without its moon
The moon is often seen as a symbol of love and connection, so without it, the night sky is just a dark and lonely place.
If I'm the music you're the tune
We were meant to be together, I'm incomplete without you. You were the melody to my life.
Don't hear a sound here without you
Without you, my life is silent and empty. There's no music, no meaning, no direction, and no happiness.
And the love I've known
The love we shared and the memories we had together
Is gone without you
All of that love and all of those memories are now gone, because I can never have them with you again.

Just as beautiful as "Nothing Else Matters." Orchestra gives a great 1970's feel. Excellent.
Glenn Rothkirch
I've been hearing this live performance over and over. I am just in love with her. Her looks, voice, musicianship, how she sings the song. If she comes to NYC, would love to see her live. Would probably be phenominal.
