1) The Wou… Read Full Bio ↴There are two bands operating under the name The Wounded:
1) The Wounded is a Dutch wave-rock band, hailing from the province of Drenthe, in the north of The Netherlands. They play intense and melancholy rock.
In 2000 The Wounded released their debut called The Art of Grief. It was followed in March 2002 by their second album titled Monument. Shortly after the release of this album The Wounded changed their line-up. The only two original members, bassplayer Andy Haandrikman and singer-guitarist Marco van der Velde, searched for new musicians. After auditioning several musicians, they found a new drummer, lead-guitarplayer and synth-player : Alwin Schnoing, Sander Wessels and Eduard Dresscher. The Monument album was promoted with a high number of performances with which the band played in most parts of The Netherlands. They also played very successful gigs in other countries as Belgium and Germany. In the beginning of 2003 The Wounded started to work on their new album Atlantic. After working hard for almost a year The Wounded released their third album early 2004 on Coldblood Industries' sub-label Ebony Tears.
On Atlantic the band sounds more mature than ever before, even though the music on the album is more comprehensive. The experimental parts of old Pink Floyd mixed with the atmosphere of Anathema, Marillion, The Cure, Fields of the Nephilim and other influences like Sigur Rós and Placebo. The band succeeds in giving all these influences their own typical sound, which causes Atlantic to sound modern and refreshing, but also very close and familiar. It got great reviews form national and international press and the band supported it by a great number of shows, festivals as well as club gigs, in The Netherlands and abroad.

Billet Doux
The Wounded Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To enamoured hearts of eachother.
With darkness and night in their wings.
They bring silver tears in the eyes of lovers.
And on that sickly quiet evening,
The devil came to kiss his face.
Deceived him with a terrible presentiment.
How their hearts were one.
How they deranged eachother, with seductive flames.
They made sacred songs out of heathen deeds.
A forever legend bares their names.
It's so cold without you near me.
I'm so alone when your not here
As I long for my beloved angel,
Release me from my solitary fear.
The Wounded's song Billet Doux is a melancholic tribute to a tragic love story that ended in death. The lyrics describe two lovers who were once deeply in love but are now separated. The first stanza talks about how the two people who were once in love have now come to an end, and they bring nothing but sorrow and tears to each other. It describes how they were once enamored with each other, but now they are like silencers who have come to perish. The reference to darkness and night in their wings suggests that they bring sadness and gloom wherever they go. The line "They bring silver tears in the eyes of lovers" emphasizes the devastation that their separation has brought.
The second stanza talks about the devil who came to kiss his face on a sickly quiet evening. It implies how the devil deceived him with a terrible presentiment and wrapped his heart in lace. The line "How their hearts were one" reflects the deep connection that existed between two lovers. It describes how they deranged each other with their seductive flames and made sacred songs out of heathen deeds. The term heathen deeds might indicate that their love story was unconventional and not accepted by society. However, they embraced their love and found comfort in each other. The final stanza talks about how the singer misses the beloved angel and how there is a sense of solitude without her. The overall tone of the song is one of grief and longing for lost love.
