little hurricane is a whirlwind of sound that's gaining momentum in the San Diego music scene. Formed in early 2010, little hurricane began when frontman Anthony "Tone" Catalano (Guitar & Vocals), and Celeste "C.C." Spina (Drums & Vocals) met via Craigslist, where they found a common interest in unique and vintage equipment, and a love of grimy, down and dirty blues. They have been creating dirty blues together since. little hurricane's bluesy soul stems from Santa Cruz, where Tone was educated by his musical surroundings, and Chicago, where C.C. first created her back breaking beats.

Little Hurricane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've tried to do what I could
...it's time to shoot them away
I have burnt up from the rest
I am a pattern in my life
I will find my way and fight
I don't know who I am
Other circumstances in my life
Never thought, never wanted to say
...It's the modern time of a life
So I stopped running
What have I been through?
Why are you surrounded by my side?
That situation is growing
And I've been passed out since you were gone
Should I wake-up when you call
And break out the door?
To deal with the sound
...It's the modern time of a life
So I stopped running
What have I been through?
Never learned from brats
I am afraid, I don't know who I am
I am searching through my life
Never fear, never want to
The lyrics of Little Hurricane's song No Man's Land are a reflection of the struggle to find oneself amidst the chaos of life. The first few lines express the idea of being caught up in a hurricane and feeling powerless against it, as if life's challenges are overwhelming. However, the singer recognizes that it's time to face those challenges head-on and conquer them. The lines "I have burnt up from the rest/I am a pattern in my life/I will find my way and fight/I don't know who I am" convey the feelings of burnout and confusion that come with constantly living the same patterns, but at the same time, the singer is determined to break free from them and search for their true identity.
The following lines suggest that the singer is dealing with circumstances in their life that they never expected or wanted. The reference to "the modern time of a life" implies a sense of unease or discomfort with the current state of the world, and this sentiment is further reinforced by the lines "So I stopped running/What have I been through?" The singer seems to be questioning why they've been running away from their problems instead of facing them, and what they've learned from the experiences they've been through.
The chorus repeats the same idea of stopping to run away from problems, and the lines "Never learned from brats/I am afraid, I don't know who I am/I am searching through my life/Never fear, never want to" suggest that the singer is learning from their past mistakes and trying to figure out who they truly are, despite their fear and uncertainty.
Overall, the lyrics of No Man's Land explore themes of self-discovery, determination, and overcoming the challenges of life.
