Lucie Silvas
Lucie Silvas (born Lucie Joanne Silverman, 4 September 1977, Kingston upon Thames, England) is a British singer-songwriter.
Early life
Silvas was born to a Liberal Jewish family. Her father is of New Zealand descent and her mother, Isobel, is Scottish. 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. 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.

Breathe In (film)
Breathe In is a 2013 American romantic drama film co-written (with Ben York Jones) and directed by Drake Doremus and starring Guy Pearce, Felicity Jones, and Amy Ryan. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 19, 2013—the director's third film to play at the festival.
Plot
The film is about a high school music teacher who has an affair with a foreign exchange student from England who is his daughter's age, due to his disillusion with his life and their shared love of music.
Keith Reynolds is a high school music teacher married to Megan and living in a small town an hour and half from New York City. He has given up a career as a musician following the arrival of their daughter. Lauren is very nearly 18 and is a champion swimmer. In his spare time, he substitutes for a cello player in an orchestra and is applying for a permanent role. Keith finds his life frustrating, resents his job as a teacher, and his wife's dismissal of his music playing. He wants to move back to the city and work as a musician but his wife Megan refuses to consider this as she disliked the uncertainty of the income and the lifestyle.

by: Lucie SilvasJust like I predicted, we're at the point of no return
We can't go backwards and no corners have been turned
I can't control it, if I sink or if I swim
'Cause I chose the waters that I'm in
And it makes no difference who is right or wrong
I deserve much more than this
'Cause there's only one thing I want
If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You were willing but unable
To give me anymore
There's no way you're changing
'Cause some things will just never be mine
You're not in love this time
But it's alright
I hear you talking but your words don't mean a thing
I doubt you ever put your heart in anything
It's not much to ask for, to get back what I put in
But I chose the waters that I'm in
And it makes no difference who is right or wrong
I deserve much more than this
'Cause there's only one thing I want
If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You were willing but unable
To give me anymore
There's no way you're changing
'Cause some things will just never be mine
You're not in love this time
But it's alright
What's your definition of the one?
What you really want him to become?
No matter what I sacrifice it's still never enough
Just like I predicted
I will sink before I swim
'Cause these are the waters that I'm in
If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You were willing but unable
To give me anymore
There's no way you're changing
'Cause some things will just never be mine
You're not in love this time
If it's not what you're made of
You're not what I'm looking for
You were willing but unable
To give me anymore
There's no way you're changing
'Cause some things will just never be mine
You're not in love this time
You're not in love this time
