The Wrens are known for their explosive stage presence, despite each member being well past 35, and are steadily gaining a fanbase across the world. Their debut album, "Silver", was released in 1994 to a moderate degree of critical acclaim. However, it was their second LP, "Secaucus" (named in reference to the town in New Jersey where they resided), that established them as one of the top bands on the indie rock scene. Both of these albums were released on the now defunct Grass Records label.
After the release of "Secaucus", Grass Records came under new ownership, who decided to make The Wrens the flagship band of the label. After the band turned down a million-dollar contract stipulating that the band record more "radio friendly" songs, The Wrens were dropped by Grass Records. "Silver" and "Secaucus" were only recently reissued in 2006 after years out of circulation because of this.
Hindered by their label issues through much of the 1990s, the Wrens managed only to release one EP, "Abbott 1135", in 1997 under the label Ten23 Records. The band's third full-length album, "The Meadowlands", finally surfaced in late 2003 (seven years after the release of "Secaucus") under Absolutely Kosher Records to enormous critical acclaim, topping critics' polls for the following two years and suddenly jump-starting an otherwise plateauing career.
The Wrens are currently being filmed for a documentary by the production company Little Quill, and are working on another LP and a re-recording of Abbott 1135.
There are other artists with the same name:
2) The Wrens were a doo-wop and R&B band from the Morrisania section of the Bronx in New York City. They are best-known for their song "Come Back My Love."
The Wrens first started singing together in 1954 and were comprised of lead singer Bobby Mansfield, George Magnezid (tenor), Francis "Frenchie" Concepcion (tenor), and James "Archie" Archer (bass). They admired the artists such as the Clovers, the Ravens, the Orioles, the Mills Brothers, Nat King Cole and Louis Jordan.
The Wrens were known best for their smooth, elegant harmony singing, and had a somewhat harder R&B edge than many similar groups at the time. Unfortunately, only six singles were offically released before Bobby Mansfield left the group in 1956 for a solo career. The Wrens were inducted into the United Group Harmony Association's Hall of Fame in 1998.
3) The Wrens are also a french indie folk band.
4.) The Wrens are also a family of birds, which may be scrobbled by those listening to recordings of bird songs.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come back my love, oh come back to stay
I love you so, well I want you to know
I need your love so badly
Well, you said goodbye, I wondered why
All because of those silly lies
I love you so, well I want you to know
Well, everybody makes
Mistakes in the game of romance
I'm asking you darling
Why don't you come back and give me a chance
Come back my love, don't stay away
I need your loving every day
I love you so, well I want you to know
I need your love so badly
Well, everybody makes
Ooh, mistakes in the game of romance
Now, I'm asking you darling
Why don't you come back and give me a chance
Come back my love, don't stay away
I need your loving every day
I love you so, well I want you to know
I need your love so badly
Well, everybody makes
Ooh, mistakes in the game of romance
Now, I'm asking you darling
Why don't you come back and give me a chance
Come back my love, don't stay away
I need your loving every day
I love you so, well I want you to know
I need your love so badly
'Cause I need your love so badly
The Wrens's song "Come Back My Love" is a classic love song that tells the story of a heartbroken lover who has been abandoned by their partner, and who is pleading for them to come back. The song opens with a desperate cry for the lost love to return, followed by a declaration of just how much this love is needed. The chorus repeats this sentiment, with the lyrics "I love you so, well I want you to know, I need your love so badly".
The second verse brings up the reason for the breakup, which the singer attributes to "silly lies". This suggests that there may have been some misunderstanding or miscommunication that led to the split. However, the singer is convinced that they can work through it, and begs their partner for a chance to reconcile. The verse ends with the lines "why don't you come back and give me a chance", reminding us that sometimes love requires forgiveness and second chances.
The chorus repeats again, emphasizing how much the singer needs their lover to return, and how cruel it is for them to be apart. The final verse and chorus are identical to the second, with the singer repeating their plea for their beloved to come back and give them a chance.
Overall, "Come Back My Love" is a poignant portrayal of the universal experience of love lost and the desperate desire to regain it. It is a song that will resonate with anyone who has experienced heartbreak and longed for reconciliation with a past love.

I love this more than any other song from the early doo-wop period. This is smoother and more soulful than the brassier competing version by the Cardinals.
Wrennissima! Doo-wop grandeur.
@DoowopJohnnyBoy
I formed a Doowop group in 2013 in 2017 we recorded 7 songs a cover of the Crows Gee and 6 of our own I wrote and recorded a song with the group called “No one else will do” and this was the inspiration. Absolutely love this classic and I love our separate inspired yet to be classic by The 3 Tones one of ours out of six original doowops we wrote and recorded them released in 2019 . And one more A and B side single to come my lovely Woppers 🥃👌🏽
