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.

Tear Bucket
Little Hurricane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're better than a bottle of asprin
I feel weak from the high
You thin my blood with your fire
You tear me up like a liar
You gotta get away before the sirens come
I could be awake and you could sleep in my bed
I havent used it in years
Take my bucket and use it for your tears
I gotta find a way to get away from my ways
Girl you could make a mind talk
All you need are shoes and a sidewalk
As high as the sun in the sky
You love like youre loosing daylight
You live like theres no tomorrow
You gotta get away before the sirens come
I can sleep when im dead
Take my bucket of water
I havent used it in years
Take my bucket and use it for your tears
I gotta find a way to get away from my ways
My ways, your ways will always
collide
In Little Hurricane's song "Tear Bucket," the lyrics describe a relationship that is intense and almost addictive. The singer tells the person they are addressing that they could "bottle laughing" and they are better than a bottle of aspirin. This demonstrates that being with this person can make the singer feel better than any medicine could. The person they are addressing has qualities that "thin my blood with your fire" and "tear me up like a liar." Despite these intense emotions, the singer knows that they need to "get away before the sirens come." Overall, the relationship is described as volatile and passionate, but also dangerous and something that needs to be ended before it causes too much harm.
The image of the bucket of water is used as a symbol of the singer's past. They haven't used the bucket in years, possibly because they have been too focused on this intense relationship. They offer the bucket to the person they are addressing and encourage them to use it for their tears. This could be seen as a way for the singer to release their past and move on from this destructive relationship. They acknowledge that they need to "find a way to get away from my ways" but also recognize that "my ways, your ways will always collide." This illustrates the difficulty of breaking away from something that is so powerful, yet also so destructive.
