Without Warning

by Kirsten Adamson

/

about

The song opens with a voice note recording of ‘Without Warning’s’ melodic hook line before the crack of a snare drum and the band kicking into this uplifting number. Adamson finds hope in the mystery of all that life can throw at you. Using nostalgia as a tool to navigate emotion, she sings, “My heart is stuck in the innocence of childhood before our hearts are broken by, the way that life picks you up, shows you a good time and quickly throws you down again, without warning. Mackenzie’s masterful guitar playing a powerful solo just before the song cuts right down to Adamson’s unmistakable voice and acoustic guitar. We are then transported back into another era as the band lets loose and the song comes to it's final fade.

lyrics

I know why I like vintage things wear 80s clothes and grandmas rings
And why I don’t know any words to modern songs I’ve never heard

My heart is stuck in the innocence of childhood
Before I learned the truth about

The way that’s life picks you up
Shows you a good time and quickly throws you down again
without warning

I know why I watch retro films
I’ve seen a million times
I love them still

And visit places from my past
Taste the air to make the memories last

My dreams are stuck in the innocence of my childhood
Before my heart was broken by

The way that people come and go
Show you the good times and die or walk right out the door
Without warning

But I trust my 80’s heart
Although it’s fragile and beat up
It leads me through dark
It knows that there’s no reason

Why life picks you up
Shows you a good time and quickly throws you down again
Without warning

why people come and go
Show you a good time and die or walk right out the door
without warning
