The result was a run of singles, culminating in ‘Wild Roads’, a whimsical folk anthem that became a runaway hit on streamers. To date, the song has received over 3 million streams and featured in TV syncs for Fidelity Bank and Photobox.
In 2021, the independent singer-songwriter used the royalties from the single to record and self-release her 11 track debut album ‘Reverence’. The 11 track body of work explored themes of queerness and self-acceptance. It was streamed over 5.5 million times, and received coverage in Wonderland, NOTION, Clash, GayTimes, and Diva Mag.
The album also came to the attention of BRIT award-winning producer Ethan Johns. Fresh from recording Laura Marling’s ‘Songs For Our Daughter’, the producer brought Ella to Rockfield Studios, where the pair recorded ‘Grace’, her most ambitious EP yet. Aptly recorded on the legendary Studer A820 tape machine that spun the likes of Simple Minds, Annie Lennox, Paul Weller, Kasabian and Queen.
Away from Here
Ella Grace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Here, away from here, away from you, anything would do
Oh I had a dream that I could fly above the mountains, lakes so
High, away from here, away from you, anything would do
I can see the eagles in the canyon where we go
I can see butterflies and sleepy eyes as we roam
I never meant to love like this
I never meant to love like this
I never meant to love like this, mmhmm
But there you go...
Agai
nst all odds, love found its way into her heart. These lyrics are about someone who is dreaming of flying away, leaving everything behind, including a person she loves. The person she loves might not necessarily have done something wrong, but perhaps their love is unrequited or they are just at a point where they need to be alone. She sings of a dream she once had where she could fly away from it all, realizing anything would do as long as it meant she could escape.
The dream continues, and she flies over mountains and lakes so high, essentially away from anything and everything that ties her down. She describes the scenery with such detail, seeing eagles in the canyon and butterflies as they roam. These are all peaceful and majestic animals that signify that she is looking for peace in her mind and heart. The lyrics also highlight that she never meant to love like this. It is not clear whether this means that she did not expect to fall in love or if she did not expect to feel such a strong and intense love.
The song seems to be from a place of contemplation and introspection as she looks back on her love story. The lyrics might evoke a feeling of nostalgia or even pain for people who have had to make difficult choices concerning love.
