YOU & I

Copyright © 2020 Lorenza Wildcard

Staring at these cards, I did not choose.

Holding up my breath, not to go loose.

Even in this place, so dark and strange without you by my side,

I will never burn it down.

You and I, my old friend,

we've never been apart

but now I walk alone,

cutting my own path, with tears and smiles from miles away.

You don't get to say, "I will always love you".

Walk me down the aisle twice, so it hurts more.

And because you broke my heart without goodbyes

your "forever", was a lie for a while.

You and I, my old friend,

will never be the same.

You wear a mask a lot.

Tell me, was it worth your while to be somebody else?

You and I, yeah-he-he

heh-heh-heh

Heh

You bought three wedding bands, in case your hand changed.

Judging all the ones, who fell before.

Did you hold my hand because you meant it, or was it all an act?

Did you ever have me in mind?

You and I, my old friend,

We’ve got two tales to tell, but none that match at all.

I wish you all the best there is,

but this is where it ends.

If we were to meet again someday.

And if you were to think, that I looked strong,

please don't ever think that that's what I became because you left me,

but I thank you, now I am free.

You and I, my dear,

we’ve had it good you know!

But now that I am alone,

I can chase my dreams without the fear you'll disapprove.

You and I, my dear,

we’ve had it good you know!

But now that I am alone,

I can chase my dreams without the fear you'll disapprove.

You and I, my dear,

we’ve had it good you know!

But now that I am alone,

I can chase my dreams without the fear you'll disapprove.

You and I, my dear,

we’ve had it good you know!

The Pitch: the story behind the music

“YOU & I” is the creation born out of the need to voice a woman’s emotions as her marriage broke down irreparably before her eyes and to help others going through the same grief. This is the uplifting and empowering story of a woman who, despite her sorrow and finding herself alone through lockdown, discovered a talent she did not know she had. Lorenza Wildcard is a new and promising singer-songwriter whose music speaks to all the lost and broken souls out there inspiring them to take back control of their lives, grab chances with both hands and follow their dreams.

Musical style & lyrics
“YOU & I” is a classic pop ballad with a modern feel. It is pure storytelling at its best where emotions dictate the bpm as the story unfolds. This is a song that does not bow to standard song writing techniques.  “YOU & I” speaks to the many broken hearts whose confidence and self-belief have been shaken to the core. With powerful lyrics, gritty vocals, and beautiful harmonies, Wildcard’s authenticity and truth leaps onto the music market as a breath of fresh air.

Artist bio
Lorenza Wildcard discovered her talent during lockdown. Following the sudden and intense rupture of her relationship, she decided to put her feelings on paper as a way to process her emotional turmoil. With courage and intuition, she transformed her raw emotions into the honest lyrics and melody of “YOU & I”.  Just twenty-four hours after writing her first song and recording her vocals accompanied by guitar on her mobile phone, she was approached by producer Ettore della Campa who loved the song and saw the potential in her heartfelt vocal style. Together they decided to head in the studio to record it professionally and that lead to the beautiful recording and arrangements that can be heard on the finished track.

Lorenza Wildcard’s quotes
Wildcard’s message is simple: “I wanted to tell my story and share what I went through in the hope that it would reach, help and empower other women who are in a similar situation. I have learnt that I am not alone and a breakup is not going to shake the foundations of who I am, because I am many things and not just a partner. I have grabbed my chances with both hands and I have cut my own path in search of my very own realization.” – Lorenza Wildcard

Her words are also filled with hope for anyone who has dreams: “This whole experience started by chance and it has been great fun, but I have made it my choice to be where I am today by being true to myself and working hard to get better, and perhaps that also brought me luck.” – Lorenza Wildcard

“If you’ve hung up your best clothes as well as your dreams and turned into a couch potato just because you are settled and older now, think again: you ain’t dead yet!” – Lorenza Wildcard

Endorsements

“A moving pop ballad with a modern feel, You & I boasts powerfully honest lyrics, heartfelt vocals and beautiful harmonies – and it came about, as these things sadly often do, after a traumatic break-up.” -  Cambridge Independent

“Just before the pandemic Wildcard suffered personal heartbreak and although she had never done anything music before, wrote a song about it. An inspiring and promising young artist” – Women Making Waves – Cambridge 105 Radio

“A talented musician! An uplifting and inspiring story” – BBC Cambridgeshire

Gigging and performing new material

Following the success of “YOU & I”, Wildcard decided not to rush back to recording in studio in order to dedicate more time to writing new material and performing. Having received overnight national exposure, it was important to her to earn her place in the music scene as a well-rounded performing artist.

Wildcard’s style and vocal range has evolved and her genre expanded from pop ballad to a grittier indie pop with lashes of rock and blues hints. It’s distinguished by catchy melodies with outstanding and memorable performances.

Wildcard is now back in studio while currently being promoted across Europe, USA and Australia as well as gigging and performing new original material with her backing band, including: My Army, Call the Devil, Wasting my time, Love & Cuss, Fallen for you and My worth.
