Solid
Nickolas Ashford/Valerie Simpson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

That's what this love is
That's what we've got, oh

Solid, solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

Oh, you didn't turn away
When the sky went gray
Somehow we managed
We had to stick together (oh, oh)

You didn't bat an eye
When I made you cry
We knew down the line
We would make it better (oh, oh)

And for love's sake, each mistake
Ah, you forgave
And soon both of us learned to trust
Not run away, it was no time to play
We build it up and build it up and build it up

And now it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is (oh, oh)
That's what we've got (oh)
Yes, it is

Solid, solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot

Oh, gone with the wind
Another friend
Got in between
Tried to separate us (oh, oh)

Oh, knock-knock on wood
You understood
Love was so new
We did what we had to (ooh, ooh)

And with that feeling
We were willing to take a chance
So against all odds, we made a start
We got serious, this wouldn't turn to dust
We build it up and build it up and build it up

And now it's solid
Solid as a rock
That's what this love is, oh
That's what we've got, oh

Solid (yes, it is)
Solid as a rock
And nothing's changed it
The thrill is still hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot , hot

Solid, solid as a rock (you know it, well, you know it, baby)
Solid, solid as a rock (lovin' me, lovin' me, oh)
Solid (don't leave me, baby)
Solid as a rock (well, well, well, well)
Solid, solid as a rock (every day it gets sweeter, now)

Solid, solid as a rock (good, good, well, it's good, good, good)
Solid

Through their commitment and willingness to take a chance, they built a solid relationship that nothing could break.

Overall, "Solid" is a timeless ode to love built on mutual trust, forgiveness, and commitment. It emphasizes the importance of sticking together, even in difficult times, to build a relationship that is solid as a rock.

I met both of them at their restaurant Sugar Bar years ago in NYC. The nicest people you could ever hope to meet. We often forget just how many classic songs this duo is responsible for… Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, Ain’t Nothing Like the Real Thing, not to mention I’m Every Woman. Immortal talent! ❤❤❤

I remember listening to this song over and over, not understanding a single word as a child but feeling so happy and safe when hearing it. It is one of the reasons I excelled at studying the English language. When I was a child, there were so many beautiful songs that called to me but that I could understand only on an emotional level because English was not my mother tongue (and no one in my family actually spoke it well enough to explain the lyrics to me). Now that I have a firm grasp of English, I can appreciate this song so much more. Thank you, Ashford and Simpson, for the beautiful memories, the beautiful melodies and your inspiring lyrics. Much love from Germany.

This song must have been a big hit in West Germany in 1984/5. I can recall its popularity among a group of German holidaymakers as they selected it almost every night on a restaurant's jukebox, in Majorca, in the summer of 1985.
It was a family restaurant, and perhaps the jukebox selection was geared more towards soulful music. The restaurant had an idea. But frequently today eating establishments have no idea: and play stuff in which the words are indecipherable even if you could make them out.

Another example of good soul music as real as is gets nick Ashford and his wife met in high school and from there built the legendary group they made many unforgettable songs and also helping Teddy Pendergrass make his return to the stage after a car accident that crippled him to a wheelchair but never lost his blessed voice in singing love songs! We recently lost Nick Ashford to a battle with cancer sadly missed but never forgotten I grew up on this awesome old school music and thank my parents for allowing me the opportunity to hear it and let it come alive in my own spirit no time in history will there ever be another R&B music as did these great singers and performers God bless them all!!!

January and February 1985 when this was a hit in the UK,which after the first couple of weeks was gripped,and occasionally semi-immobilised,by a heavy winter's snows at the time. We seemed to get a snowless one every fourth winter in the late 70s and 80s here (in the south of England at any rate),and 1983-84 was one such,but the first quarter of 1985 more than made up for it by being a bit of a freezer on the whole.

My father and mother were married for 40 years last year. They were each other's best friends, they supported each other through thick and thin, discussions; it was there too. Last month my dear father passed away.
I dedicate this song to my parents. They were "Solid "as a rock. Many tried to come between them; no one succeeded.

Thanks for the music Nick and Valerie.

So great to hear and see here on YouTube. Where did Pop Music go wrong, I'm wondering? It all felt so positive and natural in the Seventies and the Eighties....

I am always impressed by the beauty of Nickolas Ashford. A few days before his wife Valerie turned 65, Ashford passed away, back in 2011. And I've always wondered how a duo so close divided by life, Valerie could continue through life.
