Good Monday Morning my RP Brothers and Sisters!
It is just a tad past 9 AM, so this is sort of an early Monday Music Interlude...and for this Interlude, I have chosen a song by an artist by the name of Lucie Silvas, singing a cover of the song "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica, performed at a Radio 2 concert with the Metropole Orchestra and recorded on my 27th 2005. Here is a short background:
Birth name: Lucie Joanne Silverman
Born" 4 September 1977 (age 42)
Kingston upon Thames, England
Genres: Pop, adult contemporary, Americana, country, roots
Occupation(s): Singer-songwriter
Instruments" Vocals, piano
Years active: 1996–present
Lucie Silvas: Born in Kingston upon Thames, England, her father is from New Zealand and is of Jewish descent; and her mother is Scottish and is Christian. Silvas has two sisters, Mia (who has performed backing vocals for her), and Nikki. Her parents were also big music lovers and Silvas has stated this inspired her career, besides the fact that her mother was an opera singer and wanted to pursue a career in music herself.
Silvas learned to play piano at the age of 5, and had written her first song by age 10. She relocated many times between her parents' native countries as well as England.[4] Her family moved to Thames Ditton, Surrey, England, when she was 13. She entered a Jewish Care Young Performer competition and came third when she was 14. She attended Surbiton High School for Girls and left at 16 before going to Brooklands College, in Weybridge, Surrey.
After leaving college at the age of 18, Silvas became a backing singer for Judie Tzuke, who helped her write much of her first album, entitled Breathe In.
LYRICS:
Nothing Else Matters - Metallica
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah
I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words, I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, ooh, yeah
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trust in who we are
No, nothing else matters
