Her father was pop guitarist Joe Brown and her mother was a popular backing singer Vicki Brown. She appeared as singer with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, and in 1977 she was a backing singer on the Small Faces' final album In the Shade. Later, together with her mother as The Lillettes, she was a backing singer on Steve Marriott's Packet of Three: Live.
She recorded her debut album Stop! with her guitarist brother Pete Brown as producer. In 1988 the single "Stop" was released and almost a year later it topped the charts in Holland and Germany, reached number four in the U.K. charts; the album did likewise and went on to sell 2.5 million worldwide. Despite more chart singles, the follow-up April Moon (1990) managed only something over half a million sales, and sales of her third album 43 Minutes (1993) were also poor. Her independently-released album Box (1997) made 17,000-odd sales.
She spent some time as featured vocalist with Jools Holland & His Rhythm & Blues Orchestra, and was a backing singer on Pink Floyd's Division Bell tour in 1994. In 2000 the album Reboot was released. In April 2003 the BBC broadcast an interview with her, playing her ukulele and singing "Kiss of Love". Her most recent releases (2007) are Of the Moment and an EP of acoustic arrangements, Ukulele and Voice, recorded with her father.
Some new tracks have also been made available for listening on her Myspace profile, and her official fan club site [url=[officialsite]http://www.onecandle.co.uk]One Candle offers two demo tracks of the album.
Hypnotised
Sam Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of hate. You talk of hope and glory but I
Don't know if I can wait here all alone
Will you ever know
Hypnotized I'm sliding under
But will I fall I wonder
And would you stay forever
So here's another story, I sit and wait here
All alone. I just can't help but worry, would
You leave me standing on my own. Here all
Alone will you ever know
Hypnotized I'm sliding under
But will I fall I wonder
And would you stay forever
A life of love or just one day
The lyrics of Sam Brown's song Hypnotised seem to tell a story about a conflicted relationship. It revolves around the struggles of someone who is uncertain about whether their partner can fully commit to a life of love or if it is just a fleeting romance that will disappear as quickly as it began. The opening stanza is particularly powerful as it highlights the conflicting emotions of the singer. On one hand, they desire hope and glory, but on the other, they are unsure if waiting alone is worth it. This gives the listener a sense of how precarious and uncertain relationships can often be, as even the strongest of emotions can be shaken by doubt and worry.
As the song progresses, we see the singer becoming more hypnotized and caught up in the passions and emotions of the relationship. The chorus, in particular, emphasizes the sensual and seductive nature of the relationship, with lines such as "I'm sliding under, but will I fall, I wonder." It suggests that the singer is entirely under their partner's spell but isn't sure what their future together holds. Despite this uncertainty, they still yearn for a life of love and togetherness. The song ends with the repeated question of whether they will ever know if their love is everlasting or just a fleeting moment in time.
