The name is used by a Dutch drone project, a San Francisco based post-rock band, and a pop-punk band.
_____________________
1. Dutch: Since Beequeen will no longer be releasing drone-music, Wander was formed in the winter of 2000. Principally based on organ-drones, Wander has plans to release their material on various formats, but on every format only once. There's a nice challenge... Wander will also perform live.
2. American: Wander is a post-rock band from the San Francisco Bay Area that formed in 2013.
Their sound can be compared to the post-rock bands Mono & Godspeed You! Black Emperor but with faster tempos and intricate drumming like the japanese math rock bands Toe & té. In 2013 they released their debut 10" on their D.I.Y label Headless Queen Records.
3. Wander is a pop-punk band from Maryland who formed in April 2013. They released their debut album 'Wander' on the 26th of August 2014.
Counterpart
Wander Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But how can I decide what that is if I don't even know what I want?
Mother told me when you grow up you will understand
Love's true meaning, but here I am and I can't pretend
That I've seen even a glimpse of that famed allure
In my dreams, there's someone out there with a cure
When my heart knows better?
Taking my chances in a reckless pursuit of love
I think I've found it, then I realize it's not enough
Another failure tells me I should have known not to hold faith in my feelings, they're always misleading me
So tell me, where will I go?
As amorous sparks pull me in
The thrill of the chase clouds my mind again
My caution has all been swept up by the wind
And I know I don't stand a chance
Cause when the fire dies
Affection suffers its cold demise
It happens every time
I'm stricken with feelings I can't keep alive
Can anybody here help me bury my doubt?
What if I find you and you don't even want me?
Where will I go?
The song "Counterpart" by Wander is about the search for love and the uncertainty that comes with it.

However, the singer faces the difficulty of not knowing what they want in a partner, which makes it difficult to find their counterpart.
The lyrics show the confusion and doubt that comes with trying to find love. The singer feels as though they have not experienced true love, despite being told by their mother that they will understand it when they grow up.

The song also touches on the fear of rejection and the disappointment that comes with failed relationships.

Everyone is looking for their soulmate in this world

I am unable to identify what I want in a soulmate
Mother told me when you grow up you will understand
Love's true meaning, but here I am and I can't pretend

I impulsively chase after love, but each time I think I've found it, I am disappointed once again and realize that my feelings always lead me astray
So tell me, where will I go?
I'm lost and unsure of what direction to take in my search for love
As amorous sparks pull me in
The thrill of the chase clouds my mind again
My caution has all been swept up by the wind
And I know I don't stand a chance
The excitement of pursuing someone I have feelings for has me in a daze and I am no longer thinking logically – though I know deep down it's not going to work out
Cause when the fire dies
Affection suffers its cold demise
It happens every time
I'm stricken with feelings I can't keep alive
Every time my initial infatuation disappears, my affection for the person dies off and we fall apart
Can anybody here help me bury my doubt?
What if I find you and you don't even want me?
I want reassurance that I am not mistaken in my search for love and what if I finally meet someone and they don't reciprocate my feelings?
Where will I go?
I still don't know where exactly I am headed in my pursuit of love

Lyrically, this is one of the most relatable songs in my entire library. It perfectly describes my current situation and my feelings about it

@MEGAcookies100
Sometimes there are those bands that you listen to and you're just like "oh my.where have you been friend and why weren't you in my life". you guys are one of those bands.fantastic!
@ArsonWithWater
One of the best bands out now in my opinion. Straight out of Waldorf, Maryland.
@iSINGforSPLITtheSEAS
Thanks for the compliment! But nah we're from Frederick, not Waldorf.
@ALARGEK9
Jack Rentschler hey dude, I was wondering if you could give us insight on the music video. Seemed kinda vague and I don't exactly get it. Otherwise rad music guys.
@colinmumma
I really hope this band blows up. Best band of their kind to come along in years.
@chYnaRIP
Colin Mumma sadly I don't think they blew up
@MyChemicalLove011
Colin Mumma I feel like they need to find another label that will definitely put them out there. They’re soooo good!! I don’t think they really have a song I don’t like ..
@Drinkyoghurt
I'm 5 years late but they're on my radar now. I'm so glad this genre is still alive.
