The Wildwoods / "Hideaway" (Live Session)

Подробнее о видео

"Hideaway" is an original song by The Wildwoods. This video is a live session, filmed/recorded at Andy, our bass player's, late Yia Yia's home in Lincoln, NE on a cold December day in 2024. It is the third single to be released from our newest album, 'Dear Meadowlark', which will be available April 11th, 2025.

“Hideaway” captures the tension between outward appearances and inner struggles, exploring themes of isolation, identity, and the search for meaning. The song reflects on the disconnect between people, even in shared spaces, and critiques the facades we maintain to seek validation. “Hideaway” delves into the pain of self-doubt and the longing for escape. The recurring theme of finding a refuge highlights the desire for authenticity and solace amidst chaos. It’s an exploration of the human experience, balancing raw emotion with a quiet yearning for connection and peace.

Lyrics:
Set the table, all our friends are eating alone.
Drop your fingers, take a breath and swallow it whole.
Are there lips in your ears that are driving you mad?
Do they hold you like a marionette?
Is there more to life than a morning smoke?
Well, I guess I haven’t found it yet.

I saw you, did you see me?
I saw your reflection and it’s putting me at ease.
I’ve been there before, in the belly of the whale.
I swam up for air before I fell underneath.

Bow and let the crowd applaud you.
Masquerading on a full moon.
Now the curtains have closed, that’s the end of the show.
Swooned by your ulterior motives.
There she goes, off to find a hideaway.

Feel your pockets for the last of your needles and pins.
Roam the hallways, racing thoughts and tireless limbs.
Are you tired of the mess, that collects in your nest?
Is your head spinning off of the tracks?
And you’re blowing your horn cause you’ve run out of steam.
Why’d you ever think that they had your back?

I saw you, did you see me?
I saw you praying in the dark on your knees.
Glass on the floor, glass in my feet.
Blood on the carpet, seeping into the concrete.

Bow and let the crowd applaud you.
Masquerading on a full moon.
Now the curtains have closed, that’s the end of the show.
Swooned by your ulterior motives.
There she goes, off again to hideaway.

About The Wildwoods:
In the heart of Lincoln, Nebraska, The Wildwoods emerge as a folk/Americana trio, a musical tapestry woven by the husband-and-wife duo, Noah (guitar) and Chloe Gose (violin), alongside bassist Andrew Vaggalis. Their story is a symphony of exploration and connection, a journey that has taken them from the Midwest to international stages, carving out a unique place in the folk landscape. Their presence has graced stages alongside artists such as Mighty Poplar, Sierra Ferrell, Aiofe O’ Donovan, Melissa Carper, Jamie Wyatt and Joe Nichols at concerts and festivals like Summerfest, FreshGrass and the Oyster Ridge Music Festival.

The Wildwoods have become a force in the folk scene, boasting accolades like being finalists at the FreshGrass Music Festival Band competition and Gems on VHS "Gems in the Rough" competition in 2023. Their songwriting prowess is underscored by semi-final placements in the International Songwriting competition, with tracks like "Untitled" and "Way of Train." Recognized consistently at the Omaha Arts and Entertainment Awards, they were crowned "Best Band" by the Lincoln Journal Star’s Lincoln Choice Awards in 2022.

Their sonic journey unfolds through albums like the debut "Sweet Nostalgia" (2017), followed by "Birdie & Goose" (2017), "Across A Midwest Sky" (2019), and their latest masterpiece, "Foxfield Saint John" (2023). The band's evolution is evident in each track, a testament to their commitment to pushing musical boundaries.

United by a passion for folk/Americana, the trio’s influences range from Watchhouse and Nickel Creek, to Gillian Welch & David Rawlings. Their music, though comfortably under the folk/Americana umbrella, weaves intricate chord structures and emotional textures that defy genre boundaries. Together, their harmonies resonate with artful sincerity, drawing inspiration from nature, their shared experiences of growing up in Nebraska, and life on the road.
