The Wandering Hearts have released one studio album: Wild Silence (February 9, 2018). This album includes songs such as Wish I Could, Devil, and Burning Bridges.
The Wandering Hearts' genesis arose in late 2015 when Tara Wilcox and Tim Prottey-Jones met at a gig they were both separately performing at. Between the two, there was immense experience in the field, with Prottey-Jones having worked extensively as a multi-instrumental session musician and in musical theatre, and Wilcox having years of singing experience as well as her own singing school. Shortly after meeting, Prottey-Jones and Wilcox were put in touch and introduced by mutual friends to A.J. Dean, a singer/guitarist who was a former member of the U.K. rock band the Bluejays; and Chess Whiffin, who is also a former musical theatre performer. Having first rehearsed a song written by Prottey-Jones at his apartment, the group immediately hit it off. Initially calling themselves the Paper hearts, they recorded two demos titled: Today Is Ours and Sunshine. Both were uploaded to SoundCloud and received a quick response of interest. Within a few weeks, they auditioned for Decca Records who signed them on the spot. The group, now renamed to The Wandering Hearts, released their debut single Wish I Could in early 2017, and began to perform at numerous festivals around the UK. Following the release of their debut album, Wild Silence, the group continued to grow and flourish, including a performance in Nashville at the Grand Ole Opry in 2018.

And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And days of auld lang syne?
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne
And pu'd the gowans fine
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit
Sin days of auld lang syne
We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn
Frae morning sun till dine
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
Sin days of auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For days of auld lang syne
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp
And surely I'll be mine
And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere
And gie's a hand o' thine
And we'll tak a right gude-willy waught
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
For auld lang syne, my dear
For auld lang syne
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
For auld lang syne
The lyrics of Auld Lang Syne talk about the importance of remembering old friendships and cherished memories, despite the passing of time and distance that may separate people. The song is based on a Scottish poem by Robert Burns, which means "old long since" or "long ago." The first verse of the song poses a question about whether old friendships should be forgotten, to which the chorus responds that they should be remembered with kindness, raising a cup of goodwill to the days gone by.
The second verse tells the story of two friends who used to run through the hills and meadows, picking flowers and wading through streams together. However, they have been separated by great distances, represented in the song by the vast seas that have roared between them. Despite this, they still remember the days of auld lang syne, and raise a cup of kindness in tribute to their memories.
The third verse brings the song full circle, as the two friends clink their glasses and promise to continue their friendship in the future, no matter what may come. The final lines of the song again emphasize the importance of remembering the past and cherishing old friendships, as they raise their cups to toast the days of auld lang syne once more.

We twa hae run about the braes
We used to run around the hills together
And pu'd the gowans fine
And pick the daisies beautifully
But we've wander'd mony a weary fit
But we've walked many a weary mile
Sin days of auld lang syne
Since the days of old times
We twa hae paidl'd i' the burn
We used to paddle in the stream
Frae morning sun till dine
From morning till night
But seas between us braid hae roar'd
But the wide seas have roared between us

And surely I'll be mine

And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
And we'll have a drink together
For auld lang syne
For old times' sake
And there's a hand, my trusty fiere
And here's my hand, my trusty friend
And gie's a hand o' thine
And give me your hand
And we'll tak a right gude-willy waught
And we'll have a really good drink
For auld lang syne
For old times' sake
For auld lang syne, my dear
For the sake of old times, my dear
For auld lang syne
For old times' sake
We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet
