Taylor started the band in Liverpool, England, in 2014 with bass player Lewis Rollinson and drummer Brad Mullins. Known briefly as Trudy before rebranding, the trio released a series of stand-alone songs beginning with "All My Love" in May 2015. Produced by Spring King's Tarek Musa, it debuted the band's ramshackle, updated take on vintage rock guitar and harmony vocals. Their "Wild" and "He Sings" "double A-side" singles marked a move to B3SCI Records in 2016. Subsequent releases included covers of Elvis Presley's "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You" and "Baby Mine" from Disney's Dumbo. Featuring all original songs, Trudy and the Romance's debut EP, Junkyard Jazz, arrived in late 2017. They followed up with their first long-player, Sandman, on B3SCI in mid-2019.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She swore that she loved me and I couldn't say it too
What you gonna do?
I don't know
Wha-at you gonna do?
I'll close my eyes like dreamers do

Flowers for my soul
My fast times miss her I look up to you Sister
There's a Dream World and a lonely Sandgirl

It looks so good up in her heaven
I can't please please
My stupid head searching for the Sandman's girl
She talks to me all night
She walks with me all night

Come on home to the Doo-Wop Hotel
My fast times love her I look up to you Mother
Wha-at you going through closing your eyes
I'm just dreaming like I do

She walks with me
She walks with me all night
