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.
This Feeling
Sam Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would willingly give you everything
This could fall
If you want it to
Or we could take this time now and move
I don't want to lose it
I don't want to lose it all
I don't want to lose this feeling
Is it really where you want to be
Has it gone too far
Did you want it to
Is this time to find out and move
I don't want to lose it
I don't want to lose it all
I don't want to lose this feeling
The song "This Feeling" by Sam Brown is a heartfelt reflection on the fear of losing something precious. The lyrics are simple but powerful, conveying a sense of desperation and urgency as the singer pleads with someone not to let go of a special connection they share. The message is clear: they are willing to sacrifice everything to keep this feeling alive, but they need the other person to meet them halfway.
The opening lines, "Take it all / I would willingly give you everything" establish the singer's willingness to do whatever it takes to preserve their relationship. However, there is a sense of vulnerability that underlies the offer. They are not just giving away possessions or material goods, but their whole self. The second verse asks pointed questions about the other person's motivations, suggesting that they may be unsure or conflicted about their feelings. The chorus repeats the central refrain - "I don't want to lose this feeling" - emphasizing the importance of the connection and the singer's desperation to hold onto it.
Overall, "This Feeling" is a touching and universal ode to the fear of losing something precious. Its message resonates with anyone who has ever felt a connection slipping away or been afraid to fully invest themselves in a relationship. The song's emotional impact is only amplified by Sam Brown's soulful vocals and the minimalist, piano-driven instrumentation.

Such a sensational song - I am not as fond of the single mix as the album version. But it's still magnificent. Perhaps the best song on Stop! along with I'll Be In Love .... while April Moon will be in my Top 10 albums ever, this song shows what a lost talent Sam is

sam always throws in interesting vocal nuances. inflections so that her verse and chorus are never exactly the same. listen to the falsetto note she hits at 2:57 during the fadeout. fantastic.

Sonic DJ That's a lot. I want to get the ones up to my knee. I'll wait until I go back to London. They cost less there. In Montreal they are pricy. When I'm done with them, I donate them to Dans La Rue., they are a foundation that helps out street kids.
