1. Swedish pop four… Read Full Bio ↴There are multiple artists with the name Audrey.
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 Walk
Audrey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You walk away and I will find you
We are locked in this emotion
We will find the way home
And it’s too late
To regret the mistakes we made
Easier to walk away
And it’s too late
To deny all the words we say
Nothing will ever be the same
When the world surrounds you
You take your place with me, behind you
These are every word unspoken
This is our way home
And it’s too late
To regret the mistakes we made
Easier to walk away
When the world surrounds you
You walk away
You walk away
And it’s too late
To regret the mistakes we made
Easier to walk away
And it’s too late
To deny all the words we say
Nothing will ever be the same
And it’s too late
To regret the mistakes we made
Easier to walk away
You walk away
And it’s too late
To deny all the words we say
Nothing will ever be the same
In Audrey's song "The Walk," the lyrics depict a situation where the singer is trying to come to terms with the end of a relationship. The first verse talks about how one person is walking away from it, and the other person is trying to find them. There is an acknowledgment of the intense emotions involved in this situation, as well as a hope that they can eventually find their way back home.
The chorus repeats the phrase, "And it's too late," which can be interpreted in different ways. It could mean that the timing is wrong for reconciling or that the consequences of the mistakes made are irreversible. The line "easier to walk away" implies that it's easier to avoid facing the issues head-on and just move on. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the finality of the situation and the sense that whatever happens, things will never be the same.
The second verse introduces the idea that the singer and their partner had left things unsaid. Perhaps there were things they wanted to express but were too afraid or unsure how to. They try to find solace in each other's company, but ultimately the partner chooses to leave. The final chorus is a repetition of the first one, underscoring the idea that there is no going back, and that both parties will have to live with the consequences of their actions.
Line by Line Meaning
With the night behind you
After the dark and difficult times are over
You walk away and I will find you
Even if you try to leave or hide, I will seek and find you
We are locked in this emotion
Our feelings are intense and unchangeable
We will find the way home
Together, we will find our place of comfort and belonging
And it’s too late
There is no turning back, we must accept the past and move on
To regret the mistakes we made
We cannot change or fix what we have done wrong
Easier to walk away
It is simpler to leave and start anew than to try and repair things
To deny all the words we say
We cannot take back or pretend we did not mean what we said
Nothing will ever be the same
Our relationship will inevitably be forever changed
When the world surrounds you
During times of stress and chaos
You take your place with me, behind you
You can lean on me for support and guidance
These are every word unspoken
Our unspoken feelings and thoughts are just as important as spoken ones
This is our way home
Our connection and understanding of each other is what brings us comfort and peace
You walk away
You choose to leave and move on
And it’s too late
The opportunity to repair and reconcile has passed
