Wolfe first made his mark as a musician as co-founder of the New York indie pop band Bravo Silva. Bravo Silva released an EP entitled 'July' in 2004 and an eponymous full length album in 2005.
Following Bravo Silva's dissolution, Wolfe relocated to Los Angeles and began to perform as a solo act under his current moniker. In 2009, Wolfe released two EPs, ‘The Blue House’ composed of original material and ‘Wolfe Sings Field,’ made up of songs penned by Portland-based writer Peter Field. Wolfe’s full-length debut, entitled ‘Linda Vista’ was released in 2011 on Wolfe’s own Undermountain Music label. Produced by Nico Aglietti and Aaron Older of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes and featuring members of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, Dawes and Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Linda Vista was received positively by music critics such as Rolling Stone Magazine and led to Wolfe being named as an "artist to watch" by the Los Angeles Times.
On March 2, 2011, Wolfe made his network television debut as a musical guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, performing 'Someone Else' and 'Stop The Train' from his Linda Vista album. He also gave an in-studio performance for WNYC Soundcheck with John Schaefer in May 2011.
Wolfe's songs have been licensed in major motion pictures with 'Someone Else' being featured in the film Terri directed by Azazel Jacobs and starring John C. Reilly, and an early version of 'Stop The Train' appearing in Julie and Julia Azazel Jacobs directed the music video for 'Someone Else' which starred Brit Marling.
Wolfe has appeared in numerous films, including the 2006 film Lying and the 2011 film 'The Wait', which were both directed by M Blash. Wolfe also had a small role in The Good Shepherd. He also appeared in a film called "Wolfe With An E", which was directed by David Louis Zuckerman.
Open the Door
Henry Wolfe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've gone overboard and I can't swim
We all have a side we try to hide
I've got mine
I've got mine
So open up the door and let me in
What's the use of pissing in the wind?
I can't see the forest for the trees
But if you please
If you please
Open up the door and let me in
Open up the door and let me in
Open up the door and let me in
There will come a day when you decide
That I have trespassed one too many times
Until then baby take me as I am
I'm your man
I'm your man
So open up the door and let me in
Open up the door and let me in
Open up the door and let me in
In Henry Wolfe's song "Open the Door", the lyrics portray a sense of vulnerability and desperation, as the singer begs to be let in as they are struggling to stay afloat in their current situation. The opening line "Open up the door and let me in" is repeated throughout, emphasizing the desire for acceptance and a place of belonging. The second verse, "What's the use of pissing in the wind? I'll always be the same I've always been" implies a feeling of hopelessness, as if the singer has tried and failed to change themselves, and is asking for someone to accept them as they are. The final verse shows resignation and acceptance of their current situation, with the singer acknowledging that there may come a time when they are no longer welcome, but until then they are willing to be vulnerable and remain who they are.
Overall, "Open the Door" is a poignant and emotional plea for acceptance and understanding, and highlights the ever-present struggle to be authentic and true to oneself in a world that often encourages conformity.

Open up the door and let me in
I want to come back into your life.
You've gone overboard and I can't swim
You've changed and I am struggling to keep up with you.
We all have a side we try to hide
We all have our secrets.
I've got mine
I too have my secrets.
What's the use of pissing in the wind?
What's the point in doing something that won't make a difference?
I'll always be the same I've always been
I am who I am and I won't change.
I can't see the forest for the trees
I am too close to the situation to see the bigger picture.
But if you please, if you please
Please hear me out.
There will come a day when you decide that I have trespassed one too many times
There will be a point where you won't tolerate me anymore.
Until then baby take me as I am
For now, please love me despite my flaws.
I'm your man
I am committed to you.
