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.
The Way I Love You
Sam Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You're a liar and you're a cheat
And I don't know why I let you do these things to me
My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could
I'm stuck like glue
Cos I ain't never - I ain't never
I ain't never no no
Loved a man the way that I love you
The way you treat me is a shame
How could you hurt me so bad
Baby you know that I'm the best thing
That you ever had
Kiss me once again
Don't you never never say that we're through
Cos I ain't never - I ain't never
I ain't never no no
Loved a man the way that I love you
I can't sleep at nights
And I can't eat a bite
I guess I'll never be free
Since you got your hooks in me
I ain't never loved a man
The song "The Way I Love You" by Sam Brown talks about a woman who is in a tumultuous relationship with a man who, as she sings, is a "no good heartbreaker," a "liar," and a "cheat." Despite his faults, she admits that she loves him more than anything she has ever loved before. Her friends warn her about his ways, stating that he is no good for her, but she cannot seem to leave him. She admits that she is "uptight" and stuck to him like glue, unable to detach herself from his toxic grip. The woman is furious, but still begs him to stay with her, asking him to kiss her once again, and never say that it is over. The lyrics suggest that she is unable to break free from the abusive relationship the man is in control of her emotions and actions.
The song is powerful in its portrayal of a woman who cannot leave a man who is mistreating her. Her friends are right in that he is no good for her, but she is unable to detach herself from him. The lyrics seem to suggest that love is the reason she is stuck in the relationship, and that she cannot find a way to break free, even though she knows that he is hurting her deeply.
