Hailing from Stuttgart, BUNT. was formed by Levi Wijk and Nico Crispin, high school friends who teamed up at the age of 16 to craft dance anthems inspired by Swedish House Mafia. Taking SHM's propulsive festival house approach and enriching it with folksy elements like banjos and harmonicas, they adopted a style strikingly similar to Avicii's on early tracks such as 2014's "Journey" and "Harmonica." BUNT.'s subsequent 2016 output "Old Guitar" and "Coming Home" sounded like Of Monsters and Men or Mumford & Sons spun with an EDM twist, while "Young Hearts" was infused with saxophone. By 2018, Celtic music tones found their way into "On My Way" and "Little Secrets."
With nearly a dozen tracks building a wide audience by the end of the decade, the pair signed with Geffen and made their label debut with 2019's "Oh My Other." Teaming with Seattle R&B band the Dip, they followed with the earthy "Sure Don't Miss You." Borrowing Buena Vista Social Club's Omara Portuondo's "Tiene Sabor," they added Latin flair to their repertoire with that summer's "Cuba (Tiene Sabor)." Moving to Interscope, BUNT. released several singles in 2020, including the Avicii tribute "Crocodile Tears" (featuring Jens Hult), "Unbreakable" (featuring Clarence Coffee, Jr.), and "Nights Like That" (with Georgia Ku). In 2021, BUNT. released "Out of Time" (with Diviners and Tom Bailey) and "Hurricane" (featuring Hon & SMBDY). Crispin announced his departure from BUNT. in May of that year, and Wijk continued using the name as a solo artist.
Hurricane
BUNT. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it magic or the lighting?
Is it something that I'm fighting?
When you look at me the way you do
All the feelings sitting under
Now I'm saying it's no wonder
I'm here
In the middle of the night
I swear
That I'll never say goodbye
That I'll never say goodbye
I can't
Can't ever see a time
When you and I aren't you and I
Baby, I
Don't know what else to do
It's almost like you
Hit me like a hurricane
Every time you say my name
I can feel it in my body
Baby, stop me or I might
Not make another day
Don't turn away
Just say you got me, you got me
'Cause I don't want this hurricane to end
Looking at a photograph
Is it crazy that I miss you
Got me staring at your picture
When you told me that you loved me back
All the feelings out from under
Now I'm saying it's no wonder
I'm here
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night
I swear
That I'll never say goodbye
That I'll never say goodbye
I can't
Can't ever see a time
When you and I aren't you and I
Baby, I
Don't know what else to do
It's almost like you
Hit me like a hurricane
Every time you say my name
I can feel it in my body
Baby, stop me or I might
Not make another day
Don't turn away
Just say you got me, you got me
'Cause I don't want this hurricane to end
End, end
'Cause I don't want this hurricane to
End, end
'Cause I don't want this hurricane to end
The lyrics to BUNT.'s song Hurricane describe how the singer is completely mesmerized by the person they are singing about, unable to resist them despite the potential consequences. The singer is amazed by the way this person looks at them, questioning if it's purely magic or lighting causing such admiration. They feel like they have to fight their strong feelings, but can't help the way they feel - especially when the person continually looks at them with such intensity. The singer becomes overwhelmed with emotions when they see a photograph of the other person and muses about missing them.
The chorus reveals that the singer is scared that their feelings for this person are too strong, that they hit them "like a hurricane" every time they say their name. The emotions are so powerful that they become physical, with the singer feeling it deep in their body. Despite feeling like they might not make it through another day with these intense feelings, the singer cannot bear the thought of the hurricane ending. They repeatedly plead that the other person says that they "got me," revealing their fear of losing them and the intense bond that has formed between them.
