In 1988, Downing finally made his solo debut, releasing the self-titled Will Downing. The album featured a new version of John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme." The track did not fair well on the R&B charts but it managed to reach #4 on the Dance charts. In the United Kingdom, "A Love Supreme" managed to reach #14 on the singles charts.
Downing has released many albums throughout his career, always on the brink of stardom but never quite making it. In 1989 he released Come Together As One and in '91, Dream Fulfilled. The latter featured the single "I Try" which reached #13 on the R&B charts, Downing's best performance to date.
1993 saw Downing's fourth album release with Love's the Place to Be. In 1995, he released Moods and in 1997, Invitation Only. Continuing his steady stream of releases, 1998 saw Pleasures of the Night, 2000 offered All the Man You Need and in 2002, Sensual Journey.
With so many albums under his belt, Downing never slows down, releasing Emotions in 2003, Christmas, Love and You in 2004 and Soul Symphony in 2005.
While Will Downing has never been a massive celebrity in the United States, he has seen reasonable success in the United Kingdom.
Thinkin' About You
Will Downing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hmmmmmm
From when the suns comes up and down again, all my time is spent just thinking of you,
And when the moon comes up and takes its place, I just can′t erase my thoughts of you,
It's like all the things that you do, only lead me wishing to have you right here by my side,
Hoping I can see you tonight, to shower you down with my kisses
You got me thinking about you (repeat 18x)
VERSE 2
I can′t explain what your love does to me, it's like I'm constantly amazed by you,
It′s like you just reach out and take a hold of my heart and soul and bring it close to you,
Oh I′m fiening for what you do, really I am wishing to, have you right here by my side, hoping
I can see you tonight, to shower you down with my kisses (oh)
Your eyes just to stare at, your lips just to kiss (just a kiss on the lips), your smile how I love you baby, your eyes just to stare at, your lips just to kiss (just a kiss on the lips), your smile how I love you baby.
CHORUS (to fade)
The song "Thinkin' About You" by Will Downing is a soulful, romantic ballad about how deeply the singer is in love with someone and how they constantly occupy his thoughts. In the first verse, he describes how from sunup to sundown, his mind is filled with thoughts of this person. Even at night when the moon comes up, he can't stop thinking about them. He longs to have them by his side and can't wait to shower them with kisses when he sees them. The refrain "You got me thinking about you" is repeated 18 times, emphasizing just how much this person consumes his thoughts and emotions.
In the second verse, the singer explains how he can't quite explain what this person's love does to him. He's constantly amazed by them and feels that they have a hold on his heart and soul. He's "fiening" for them, meaning he's craving their attention and affection. He longs to have them by his side and can't get enough of their eyes, lips, and smile. The chorus fades out with a repetition of the refrain, showing how deeply this person occupies the singer's thoughts and how much he is devoted to them.
