1. It all began as a playful side project. Leilani Hermiasih was just a little bored with her daily life. Her background in classical piano (which she had learned in some lessons with a superbly nice and patient old lady since she was about 7) gave her a little idea in what kind of game she wanted to play. She wanted to play the game of fun music. It was never that hard. All of the melodies would come out of outer space, and magically place themselves into her fingers as she then tried to put them all together into a proper song. Lyrics were added, and voila! It was done. Ding!
She was also inspired by a lot of musicals produced by Cameron Macintosh and written by Andrew Lloyd Webber she watched everyday in her early years. So you might also get a little taste of that.
She picked to go by another name, Frau, because she feels that she doesn't stand alone in this whole new drama she's creating. She's in this all with her beloved piano she named Oskar. Frau it self means "mrs." or "wife" in Deutsch / German, which then places her to be the 'wife' of music. And together, they will create little cute fun babies, which you could all listen to. Oh, and besides collaborating with Oskar, she would be collaborating with a lot of damn great musicians with their secret weapons.
But then again, frau doesn't like to be too serious in making you listen to her. So just take your cup of tea and enjoy every spit of her voice and Oskar's!
2. Frau is a punk noise band from London, UK formed in 2013. It features members from feminist queer DIY bands Woolf and Good Throb.
Mr. Wolf
Frau Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wouldn't mind to be my everything
In such a scary life, he has been sailing
As a pirate, as a bandit
Come real, come real, but don't you start eating me
I don't think it's that hard to step a little lower
Be careful, be careful, you've got to watch your steps
Come nearer, come nearer, come nearer, come near
Into trusting some not real thing
It's such an exciting world, since you enchanted me
To be a pirate, and a bandit in these grounds of Neverland
In such a different world, my very Mr Wolf
Wouldn't mind to be my everything
In such a scary life, he has been sailing
As a pirate, and a bandit in these grounds of Neverland
The lyrics of "Mr. Wolf" by Frau on the surface appear to be describing a dangerous and exciting life with someone who is like a pirate or bandit, who the singer refers to as "Mr Wolf". Despite the scary life they lead, the singer wouldn't mind if Mr. Wolf were to become their everything. However, there is an underlying sense of caution throughout the song; the singer urges Mr. Wolf to come real and not start eating them, and to be careful with their steps.
It's possible that the lyrics are a metaphor for falling in love with someone who may be unpredictable or dangerous. The references to pirates and bandits suggest a sense of adventure, while the warning to be careful and watch your step indicates that things could turn dangerous quickly.
Overall, the song seems to be about the excitement and danger of falling in love with someone who may not be entirely trustworthy, but whom the singer can't help but be enchanted by.
