Three years ago Nina Ebbenhout (31) and Caroline Ouwendijk (27) sat in the same Amsterdam tram on their way to a singer-songwriters contest where they both were enrolled. They talked and the immediately felt connected. Already in the locker room before the contest, they heard that their voices blended together perfectly. And in the months afterwards Nina (piano, classically trained at the Utrecht Conservatory) and Caroline (guitar, Americanists, a lawyer and musically self-taught) noticed what they added to their individual songs: magic. Vonder & Bloom, which means “a bridge to growth” was born. The first year they wrote songs and performed as a duo many times, months which made them grow as duo and discover their own sound. When their amazing debut album “Simple Peace of Mind” now in stores everywhere, was finished before last summer, they decided to tour the Netherlands in a bus, for five months singing their briljant first single “Brilliance Of You” to everyone they met on their way. Not without merit, as they signed with Pias Records this February. Their amazing debut album “Simple Peace Of Mind” was released late March and features twelve subdued intimate tracks full of beautiful harmonies that will only need a few seconds to convince you to see that these girls together indeed are a bridge to growth, the growth of something that’s massive already.

Save Me
Vonder & Bloom Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Save me
Cause I′m not alright
I've played the part to well this time
Up high but so damn low
I pull you close just to let you go

Love me
Ive build a shadow so that I can hide enough

Trust me
I be the only one that just won′t lie
Although I love you
I'll never tell you what I feel inside
So. save me

Broken as the mirror shows
Facing the truth
That no one knows
Hold me and
Tell me what i've done
Break down the mess that i′ve become

Love me
Ive build a shadow so that I can hide enough
Trust me
I be the only one that just won′t lie
Although I love you
I'll never tell you what I feel inside
So. save me

Won′t you love me
I've build a shadow so that I can hide
Won′t you trust me
I'll never tell you how I feel inside
Won′t you love (love me, love me)
Love me

Save me
Save me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Vonder & Bloom's song "Save Me" tell a story about someone who is struggling with their own emotions and inner demons. The singer feels like they have been acting a certain way for too long, putting on a façade and trying to appear okay when deep down they are not. They admit to feeling both high and low, pulling people close and then pushing them away. They long for someone to save them from their own brokenness, to love and trust them despite their struggles.

The lyrics also touch on the idea of hiding behind a shadow, constructing a false image to shield oneself from vulnerability. The singer acknowledges that they have built this wall of shadows to hide behind, preventing others from truly seeing their true feelings. They are torn between their love for someone and the fear of revealing what is going on inside. They yearn for someone to break down the mess they have become and show them the truth.

Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of desperation and longing for someone to provide solace and understanding. The singer is pleading for someone to save them from their inner turmoil and help them find a way out.
