1.) WILDES, real name Ella Wal… Read Full Bio ↴There are several bands called Wildes
1.) WILDES, real name Ella Walker, is a British multi-instrumentalist & singer-songwriter from London.
Born to an Irish mother and British father her music lends itself to her mixed heritage upbringing. An undeniable passion for creating vast soundscapes, Ella's music is both dramatic and beautiful, reflective of her childhood summers spent running wild in the Irish countryside and echoes the expansive sound like that of Florence and The Machine or The XX. After putting up her first song 'Bare', WILDES garnered overwhelming support online, shooting to #6 in the Spotify global viral chart and subsequently grabbing the attention of BBC Radio 1 DJ Phil Taggart and Grammy Award-winning producer Brian Burton (Danger Mouse), landing her a publishing deal. The song has since featured on multiple soundtracks and generated millions of streams worldwide. Since then WILDES has been refining her sound, working closely with award-winning producer Catherine Marks (Foals, Wolf Alice, Manchester Orchestra, The Killers), fusing her indie-folk songwriting with bold cinematic soundscapes.
2.) Wildes is a musical project of Jana Pantha and Jenny Tulipa from Munich, Germany and Zurich, Switzerland.
They see themselves as an electronic disco-pop-punk project. The two musicians sing abstract lyrics in German - with a certain poetry, and at times irony. Spoken word passages and catchy sung vocals merge into melodies that once heard continue to sound for quite a while. A minimalist electro sound in combo with simple synth waves and the always driving drum computer make the works cool, playful and provocative. The rocking barré changes of the electronic rhythm guitar accompany the pieces. The distortion is brought by the banging tube screamer and the lead guitar sounds break the raw repetition.

Let You Go
wildes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ve got a hold on you,
You can’t let me go,
I can’t let go of you
It’s in the air I breath,
It takes over me,
I can’t let you go.
So say I’m the sun,
Say I’m the rising light above,
You’ll be the waves,
And come crashing down with love
Say I’m the moon,
Be the night that holds me up,
You make it rain, and we’re washed away in floods...
You’ve got my heart,
And I’ve got your soul,
I cannot, I cannot
Shut out your light,
Or drown out your call,
I cannot let you go...
You get lost in me,
I get lost in you,
And there’s a trace of me
Mapped out in you.
So say I’m the sun,
Say I’m the rising light above,
You’ll be the waves,
And come crashing down with love
Say I’m the moon,
Be the night that holds me up,
You make it rain, and we’re washed away in floods...
You’ve got my heart,
And I’ve got your soul,
I cannot, I cannot
Shut out your light,
Or drown out your call,
Where do we go?
Tell me my fortune, give me your hope
Give me it all now,
You and I know, words they can haunt you,
Don’t be a ghost, don’t let me go now
You’ve got my heart,
And I’ve got your soul,
I cannot, I cannot
Shut out your light,
Or drown out your call,
I cannot let you go,
Watch you burn away, watch you burn away
Let you go,
Watch you burn away, watch you burn away.
You’ve got my heart,
And I’ve got your soul,
I cannot, I cannot
Shut out your light,
Or drown out your call,
I cannot let you go.
In Wildes's song Let You Go, the first verse describes two individuals who have a hold on each other that they cannot let go of. They are both consumed by each other's energy which is portrayed as something tangible that can be breathed. The chorus refers to the two individuals as celestial bodies; one as the sun, the other as the waves, or alternatively the moon and the night. The two forces come together and cause a powerful release of emotion, likened to a flood.
The second verse describes how intertwined the two individuals are. They get lost in each other and there is a part of each other in the other person. The bridge questions where they will go from here and asks for hope and clarity. This final plea is signified by the repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the desperate need to not let go.
The lyrics of Let You Go portray a deep, heartfelt connection between two people, but there are many interpretations that can be taken from them. The song could be interpreted as a metaphor for addiction or dependency on someone, whilst the emphasis of the celestial bodies could portray the idea of a cosmic pair that can never separate.
