With the release of Flow, on her own MidLife Records, Fiddmont makes the plunge, writing, co-producing and singing a tasty 9-song collection of jazz-tinged adult soul songs. Urban Adult Contemporary radio was rife twenty years ago with talented female singers such as Angela Bofill. Anita Baker and Phyllis Hyman, who were releasing melodic, accessible music that spoke to grown ups. But 2006 is a different era, and a somewhat traditional female adult soul disc like Flow now sounds refreshingly offbeat.
Raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Fiddmont got the singing bug while a teenager, and was soon singing in local coffee houses. A tape of her voice sent to the Crusaders' Wilton Felder landed for her a spot touring with that group, with Lynne handling lead vocals on such songs as "Street Life." She then briefly attended Boston's prestigious Berklee School of Music before moving to Los Angeles to further her musical life.
In 1985, Fiddmont began her recording career provided backing vocals on Bill Withers' underrated coda, "Watching You, Watching Me," and followed with a twenty year career as one of the most active backing singers in the country, most notably as part of Stevie Wonder's Wonderlove and Phil Collin's First Final Tour. Her notoriety among music industry veterans led to great support for the notion of her putting together Flow, which was released in May, 2006.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No regrets I know I'll always care though you're away
Somehow our happy romance ended suddenly
Still in my heart you'll be forever mine
No regrets because somebody new looks good to you
No regrets sweetheart no matter what you say or do
I know our love will linger when the other love forgets
The song "No Regrets" by Lynne Fiddmont is about having no regret over a past love, even if things didn't end the way you wished they had.

She believes that their love will linger, even if they both move on with other people. The lyrics suggest that the memories of their love will always be with her, and that it will forever hold a special place in her heart.
There's a sense of nostalgia and acceptance in the lyrics, which is further emphasized by the slow, soulful melody of the song.
