Ruelle, the alias of singer-songwriter Maggie Eckford is taking the world by storm with the release of her EP Up in Flames. Although it is not her most recent release Up in Flames is an EP that is personal favourite of many.
With her own unique style, Ruelle is changing the forms of conventional pop with intense build-ups and a smooth cinematic sound that is really quite special. Having songs featured in numerous TV shows including Shadowhunters , Finding Carter ,Teen wolf and Pretty Little Liars it is more than likely that you have heard at least one of her songs without even realising.
War of Hearts, is an unconventional love song that has a dramatic flair, which is often unseen in a song of its type. War of Hearts opens with a melodic piano sound but very quickly builds momentum with a booming drum beat. The lyrics are filled with an intense passion and Ruelle’s vocal tone is honestly stunning. This song has been used in one of everyone’s favourite TV scenes (Shadowhunter fans will know which one!) and its cinematic quality brings to life the characters and story.
Lyrics-
Come to me
In the night hours
I will wait for you
And I can’t sleep
‘Cause thoughts devour
Thoughts of you consume
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I can’t help but love you
Even though I try not to
I can’t help but want you
I know that I’d die without you
Stay with me a little longer
I will wait for you
Shadows creep
And want grows stronger
Deeper than the truth
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
I can’t help but love you
Even though I try not to
I can’t help but want you
I know that I’d die without you
I can’t help but be wrong in the dark
‘Cause I’m overcome in this war of hearts
I can’t help but want oceans to part
‘Cause I’m overcome in this war of hearts
I can’t help but love you
Even though I try not to
I can’t help but want you
I know that I’d die without you
I can’t help but be wrong in the dark
‘Cause I’m overcome in this war of hearts
I can’t help but want oceans to part
‘Cause I’m overcome in this war of hearts
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
