“Haunted” by The Coronas – A Song Feature


     The Coronas followed-up their 2019 single “Find the Water” with another engaging release. “Haunted” showcases the band’s ability to craft melodically dynamic, hook-infused singles that span a broad vocal range. “Haunted” begins and ends with minimalist-yet-emotive piano. During the verses, the vocals and percussion increase their energy, while the guitar is merely supportive. In comparison, during occurrences of the chorus, the guitar demands its share of attention and the song becomes melodically and lyrically catchy. Still, The Coronas save the best for the 2:37 mark, when the combination of lyrical layering and forceful instruments texture “Haunted” and demand the attention of a listener.

     The Coronas will release an album on May 29, 2020. The pre-release tour dates are listed at the bottom of this post. They include a visit to San Francisco (The Independent) on April 22 For ticket information to the SF performance, CLICK HERE.

     The members of the Dublin, Ireland band are Conor Egan, Graham Knox, and Danny O'Reilly. They met as Terenure College in Dublin. Late last year, Dave McPhillips amicably left the band.

Put it off 'til you see me
Be a better friend
I'm caught, gotta break away, yeah
We stalled it, we're stallin'

And it won't be wasted
I'll always give you braves
Didn't you let me chase it down, yeah
We fall the wrong way round
I'll say that it gets to you, yeah

You know I love it
But there's an easier way
You tell me I sing things that I'm afraid to say
I'm not above it
I'm just upside down
We don't have to talk
We can just make sounds

So show me something
I think we're haunted
You show me something
You must be haunted

And I know I'm impatient
But I wait for a cure
Don't think it's me that you're facing
You've got your heart secure

So I'll leave when it's over
If I'm even allowed
Won't stop as we both get older
We fall the wrong way round
The wrong way round
I'll see that it gets to you, yeah
We fall the wrong way round
Won't stop 'til we both get older

You know I love it
But there's an easier way
You tell me I sing things that I'm afraid to say
Well I'm not above it
I'm just upside down
We don't have to talk
We can just make sounds

So show me something
I think we're haunted
You show me something
You must be haunted

Show me something
(I'll just pretend there's still stuff to say)
I think we're haunted
(That's my excuse, I'll stick to it anyway)
Show me something
(I'll see that it gets to you)
You must be haunted
Show me something
(I'll just pretend there's still stuff to say)
I think we're haunted
(That's my excuse, I'll stick to it anyway)
Show me something
(I'll see that it gets to you)
You must be haunted
