about

Panic! is the third single off of Gooseberry's second EP: Validate Me.

Streaming everywhere July 7th, 2023.

Panic! is a heartbreak song, but also a song of hope (and perhaps the foolishness of hope as a premise). The song started as a line that Asa had written down and kept coming back to: “This ain’t no love, it’s a panic attack.” Anyone who has experienced either can relate to that line. The tune barrels forward with a hypnotic march, almost akin to your heart pounding in your ears. The B sections, just like hope and love, flip this script: anxious feelings dissipate and a daydreamlike atmosphere emerges, as though your head were in the clouds. A crowd-favorite, this song allows Gooseberry to flex their musical chops, moving in and out of various styles from rock to jazz to disco.

lyrics

This ain’t no love it’s a panic attack
One heart is broken, now you can’t go back
The sky is gone and the world is black
This ain’t no love
It’s a panic attack

This ain’t no heart it’s an empty shell
Once was shrouded underneath your spell
A cautionary tale for those it can tell
This ain’t no heart
It’s an empty shell

But then you set the bone
And you lick the wound
And you start to believe
You could be something with somebody new
Oh you fool…
Will you never listen?
Will you never learn?
When there’s smoke, there’s fire
You stay too long you know you’ll get burned
Yes you will

But it’s cold
And you know that there’s nowhere to go
So you run to the arms of your beast
I’m telling you

This ain’t no love it’s a panic attack
One heart is broken, now you can’t go back
The sky is gone and the world is black
This ain’t no love
It’s a panic attack

This ain’t no kiss it’s a knife in the chest
Everything you hold is in regret
Everything you love is put to the test
This ain’t no kiss
It’s a knife in the chest

But then you set the bone
And you lick the wound
And you start to believe
You could be something with somebody new
Oh you fool…
Will you never listen?
Will you never learn?
When there’s smoke, there’s fire
You stay too long you know you’ll get burned
Yes you will

But it’s cold
And you know that there’s nowhere to go
So you run to the arms of your beast
I’m telling you

This ain’t no love it’s a panic attack
One heart is broken, now you can’t go back
The sky is gone and the world is black
This ain’t no love
It’s a panic attack
