About 'Hooked'

 

Artist: Bonnie Kellett

Producer: Govinda Doyle

Writers: Bonnie Kellett, Scott Hardy, Dennis Stojanovski

Release Date: Nov 21, 2022

Bonnie Kellett brings out yet another side of herself with the hook-filled country pop groove, Hooked. Written by Bonnie while in Nashville, she also features on the violin her late father gave her as a child, which is over 100 years old. Bonnie’s father’s banjo is also on the track, played by the song’s producer, Govinda Doyle.

Lyrically, Hooked is about innocence and addiction to love – the kind of unrequited love where one person is head over heels, while the other is not as invested, yet keeps returning, knowing the other one is addicted like a drug. While one is not emotionally checked in, the other is in a never-ending cycle of not knowing where they truly stand.

“As with a lot of the tracks on my upcoming album, this song is about finding the positive through the negative,” says Bonnie. “It’s about finding empowerment and reclaiming your worth when faced with difficult situations. With ‘Hooked’ it’s about learning how to say no and to let go when something no longer serves you. It’s about finding out how strong you really can be.”

Lyrics

 

Verse 1

I should have listened to the stories that my mother told

By my bed light she told me how this fairytale would unfold

Sneaking through the shadows, you got my number booked

The devil makes his mark and I’m hooked

 

Verse 2

And there was passion and there was grace

With an old fashioned my past was erased

Sneaking through the shadows, you got my number booked

The devil makes his mark and I’m hooked

 

Chorus

And Awoo, the whispers by the the pale moonlight

Awoo, the wolf it howls across the sky

Awoo, you and me will lie between

What’s done and what could have been

 

Verse 3

And the next morning he was gone

Nothing but a memory to prove what had gone on

Sneaking through the shadows, you got my number booked

The devil makes his mark and I’m hooked

 

Chorus

And Awoo, the whispers by the the pale moonlight

Awoo, the wolf it howls across the sky

Awoo, you and me will lie between

What’s done and what could have been

 

Bridge

And he said “Ooooo, follow me, follow me”

And I said “Ooooo, take the lead, take the lead”

 

Chorus

And Awoo, the whispers by the the pale moonlight

Awoo, the wolf it howls across the sky

Awoo, you and me will lie between

What’s done and what could have been

 

And Awoo, the whispers by the the pale moonlight

Awoo, the wolf it howls across the sky

Awoo, you and me will lie between

What’s done and what could have been
