Gone By the Dawn, 2015
Written by Shannon & the Clams
In this song, the narrator suspects her love is unfaithful, but sadly notes that certainty offers no consolation. "My instincts kept me up at night / Ignore the warnings of my mind / Knew someone new was in your sight / Oh, whats the point of being right?" The music is an entrancing blend of vintage folk sounds and modern percussive beats. Shannon Shaw's vocals are pointed and matter-of-fact, delivered in a sassy, marching cadence reminiscent of "These Boots Are Made for Walking." The contrast between the song’s brisk forward motion and its emotional resignation gives it real punch: this is not a breakup tantrum, but a clear-eyed reckoning, sung by someone already halfway out the door.
