Dive headfirst into ‘What We Don’t Know Won’t Hurt Us’, a soulful, introspective rock ballad from Jonny Thorns.

Right away, we’re thrust into Jonny’s sincere, urgent train of thoughts, an internal monologue that he’s singing out compellingly. Paired with evocative guitar strums, the track blossoms out into a rich, immersive arrangement of riffs, drums, and soulful, thought-provoking lyricism. It’s reminiscent of the great emotional depth that legendary groups like U2, Oasis are able to evoke from their songs.

At its core, the track emphasizes a crucial mantra for living a happier life – Living in the present. Living with acceptance. In life, there’s what happens to us, and then there’s how we respond to that. Be it good or bad. It’s super important to be aware of the distinction between the things we can control and those we absolutely can’t. What we know for certainity and what we’re absolutely in the dark about and really have no way of knowing anything about.

In this context, Jonny refers to becoming comfortable with not knowing, facing uncertainty head-on with a smile and a song. There’s no telling for certain what the future holds in store for any of us so what’s the point of imagining or pre-empting?

What makes this track resonate deeper is its superbly composed and produced sound. It feels fresh and uncluttered. Leaving plenty of space and depth for each element to sound wholly. Special mention must be made of James Wake’s drumming. Precise, rhythmic and full of heart.

This is a track to come back to. To listen to in silence and contemplation. To feel its spiritual essence beneath the captivating words, riffs, and rhythms.
