The group started in 1970 as the Young Movement. They changed their name to Flashflood in 1974 and recorded with Slave and Aurra. When vocalist and sole distaff member Jackie Thomas joined in 1979 they first recorded as Young & Co. Among the first three tracks they demoed was "I Like What You're Doing," which helped secure a contract with Brunswick Records. When released, this single reputedly sold over 250, 000 in the USA alone, yet never made the R&B or pop chart there. It did, however, go all the way into the UK Top 20 in 1980 when picked up by the newly formed Excalibur label. The group later recorded for Sounds Of London and Atlantic Records but never tasted success again.
Without your love
Young and Company Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm like a song without words
Just like a nest without birds
Without your love
Fine sun above
Will never shine at my door
My life holds nothing in store
Without your love
With you beside me
Now who's to guide me
Because I'm lost at sea
Without your love
I'm like a plane without wings
A violin with no strings
Without your love
I've rode the crest of a wave
With you beside me
Now who's to guide me
Because I'm lost at sea
Without your love
I'm like a plane without wings
A violin with no strings
Without your love
The lyrics to Young and Company's song "Without Your Love" express the profound emptiness and despair experienced when love is no longer present. The opening lines, "Without your love, I'm like a song without words, just like a nest without birds," clearly convey the feeling of incompleteness and lack of purpose. The absence of love leaves the singer feeling devoid of joy and vitality.
The next lines, "Fine sun above will never shine at my door, my life holds nothing in store without your love," further emphasize the bleakness and hopelessness of the situation. Without love, even the brightest and most beautiful aspects of life lose their meaning and fail to bring happiness. The singer feels as if their life holds no promise or fulfillment.
The chorus, "I rode the crest of a wave with you beside me, now who's to guide me because I'm lost at sea without your love," suggests that the singer had once experienced a period of great joy and fulfillment when love was present. However, now without this love, they feel adrift and unsure of how to navigate their life. The use of the metaphor of being lost at sea portrays a sense of being completely aimless and lacking direction.
The final lines reiterate the earlier sentiments, comparing the absence of love to being without essential components. Being "like a plane without wings" highlights the inability to soar and reach new heights without love. Similarly, being "a violin with no strings" emphasizes the inability to create beautiful music and experience the depth of emotions that love brings.
Overall, the lyrics of "Without Your Love" vividly depict the emptiness and despair that come with the absence of love, contrasting it with the joy and fulfillment that love brings.
