1. Swedish pop four-piece.

2. Five-piece rock band from Muskegon, Michigan.

3. New Jersey-based R&B/Soul singer-songwriter.

1. Swedish four-piece Audrey formed in Henån, Sweden in 2002 and started performing gigs in April of the same year. Having recorded a demo in the studio of an artist's collective in Gothenburg in the summer of 2003, the positive responses were immediate. During the summer and autumn they played more shows, selling over 500 demos in the process.

Moving forward a year or so, Audrey began to develop their sound. The embryo of their dark, suggestive pop took its first form in a run-down music house in the archipelago of Gothenburg. "It was really the worst place, the building was about to be demolished as we rehearsed there. The toilet was broken, the pipes had frozen and there were mice running around on the floor", says guitarist Victoria Skoglund.

Describing Audrey's music is no easy task. If the group has succeeded in finding a central theme, it's a balance in the melodies - shimmering, beautiful moments of pop meet dark sadness.

The harmonies (everyone in the group shares vocal efforts) shift quickly between keys and moods. Straightforward, conventional narrative is replaced by abstract meanings which strengthen the melodies. "I like it when the lyrics can mean different things, that we give clues to our audience. Sometimes we can write quite incoherent things, but we are looking for a feeling in the music", says Victoria.

Members:
Rebecka Kristiansson (bass, vocals)
Emelie Molin (cello, piano, vocals)
Anna Tomlin (drums, percussion, vocals)
Victoria Skoglund (guitar, piano, vocals)

The newly formed quartet recorded In early 2010 at 3358 studios, and released "Acoustic EP 2010".

She’s teamed up with producer Anwar Sawyer of RocNation and founder of indie label SMG Ent, to cultivate a new R&B electro edge.

Helpless
Audrey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drove you home
Took the long road just so I could
Hear more of your voice
Suddenly you said it all

First you walked out of her life
And then your own
Did your best towards the end

But it didn't count
Didn't count
It didn't count
Count

Helpless, so helpless
Helpless, so helpless, helpless

No prayer, no promise
I know it doesn't help
The sound of a train passing by
Is all it takes
Is all it takes

Helpless, so helpless
Helpless, so helpless, helpless

No prayer, no promise
I know it doesn't help

The sound of a train passing by
Is all it takes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Audrey's song "Helpless" embody the feeling of being completely powerless in the face of an unwanted situation. The singer describes driving someone home and taking the long road to hear more of their voice, just to have the person suddenly confess to walking out of someone else's life and their own. The desperation of trying to make things count, only to find out that it didn't, is evident as the singer repeats "it didn't count" over and over again.

The chorus of the song repeats "helpless, so helpless" and "no prayer, no promise, I know it doesn't help" further emphasizing the futility and powerlessness the singer feels. The sound of a passing train is noted to be all it takes to remind the singer of their helpless situation.

Overall, the song portrays a sense of hopelessness and resignation, struggling to come to terms with the situation at hand. It's a poignant and emotional track that speaks to the depths of human emotions when confronted with difficult situations.

Line by Line Meaning

Drove you home
I took you home in my car

Took the long road just so I could
I chose to take the longer route to spend more time with you

Hear more of your voice
I wanted to listen to you talk more

Suddenly you said it all
You opened up and shared everything with me suddenly

First you walked out of her life
You left the person you were in a relationship with first

And then your own
After that, you left your own life too

Did your best towards the end
You tried your best towards the end of the relationship

But it didn't count
But unfortunately, it didn't make a difference

Didn't count
It didn't count, it didn't matter

It didn't count
It didn't count, it didn't matter

Count
It didn't count, it didn't matter
