Kathleen Edwards - Empty Threat Lyrics

I'de walk three miles just to ear you

Live in hope that she comes back.

Absolutely excellent version
Kathleen a great artist and this is truly fantastic
I'm moving to America ... it's an empty threat 🤘

I have long time thought she's singing "im moving to a miracle".

bet she's not now...

Love how this song confounds the neckbeards.

+jim lol

No idea what that even means.

Hi Kathleen Edwards CBC Music,good song well done,best wishes,I subbed you,could you do the same thanks.peace GARYV.

Seen her in 2006 in Philly. She nice. Took photos and got autograph.

The sound and lighting make this so much more enjoyable to watch :)

I'll agree to disagree. :)

Actually it has been cited through numerous interviews that the Everly Brothers and their use of the two part harmony were the Beatles biggest influence.

Well, Joni Mitchell was a very popular singer songwriter of the 70's. She made some great music. And if you have listened to classic rock even at all, you have heard all of these folks. I would also say that rock is largely British. They are the ones who brought it over (British invasion anyone?). Country is American, blues is kind of American (more African), but rock is definitely British. Guys like Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis who were the American "Rockers" were really just country stars.

Anthony Speer you are totally wrong. Rock and roll originated in America. In the forties and fifties in the African American community. Blues is also American, African american, but indigenous to America not Africa. British rock is British rock, it was forged in the sixties with the kinks and Beatles. Britons also developed punk and the DIY movement. But original rock and roll is American, ever heard of Big Mama Thornton? She took blues and mixed it with gospel and rock and roll was born. Even the words ‘rock and roll’ were coined in America and refer to the way the music makes you wanna dance and bone. Also, invented by African Americans and stolen by white dudes. Such is the world. Rock and roll was invented by an African American woman.

Most of our famous and idolized rockers are foreign though. Especially those of the late 60's and 70's. Neil Young-Canadian, Graham Nash-British, Gordon Lightfoot-Canadian, Joni Mitchell-Canadian, The Guess Who-Canadian. It seems like most of Americana was stolen from the Canadians. Also I would have a hard time calling this song trash. But the great thing about America IS that we can share the differences of thought, and still get along. ;)

The new Americana is rapping about hoes, money, and drinking/drugs. Ill take Canadiana any day of the week! :P

A new genre. Canadiana.

Beautiful harmonies, ladies!

I am in love with this woman and the band as a whole. Incredible.

I saw her in 2009 at the last (now cancelled) 10,000 Lakes Festival in Detroit Lakes, MN. From the serious songs she writes, you'd never know she has a sense of humor. She told such funny stories. I was one of the few real fans there who knew her music. By the end of the show, she had won the crowd over.

Indeed! You are, of course, correct.

Bon someone lol? sorry but Bon Iver is very under-rated and they are amazing, You under-estimate the talent in them. Although I wasn't at this show I can't comment on who the "real attraction" was I'm sure they both put on a good show.

The way the sound is mixed on this is incredible. Beautiful sound, better than the CD.

Nicmart you're an idiot. How can you even compare Dave Edmonds' Rockabilly sound to Kathleen Edwards? Two completely different sounds. Can you post a link to your songs or whatever it is that you do that makes you an expert that does not recognize perfection. Never heard a cleaner, smoother music since Allison Krause. Would love to see them perform together.

Saw her in St. Louis...She was opening for Bon somebody...but she was the real attraction. Absolutely fantastic artist. Takes professional risks and still comes out on top. THAT is musicianship.

Empty Threat is another special treat from this very special artist. Every life change she moves through, causes, survives, she emerges stronger and better. Kathleen, soldier on, you're great and getting better with every song. Splendid, child!

love the sound of this one

nicmart is just giving his impression of things. This isn't a court of law. He/She doesn't have to supply evidence, doesn't have to convince you.

Words cannot convey how much I hate Comcast.

My goodness Kathleen is awesome. Just wow. Love the new album. Nothing not to love. Thanks for the great quality upload.

@nicmart Which CD? Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "sameness to her song structure"? Could you give an example--just pick one of her songs and lay out the structure for us? Also, show us a song you think is really good, and explain the "structure" for that so we can see how different it is from one of Kathleen Edward's songs.

Amazing song by a fantastic artist, sounds great live too! Never heard her miss a note throughout two gigs in the UK

@nicmart Wow, quite the analysis. Dull you say? Her voice is original, their sound is nostalgic, and they take a low-key song and make it rock. This song is great, performance is great, bigger and better things to come for Kathleen.

@kyleunlikely
Actually, after posting my former remark I borrowed one of her CDs from the library. I want to retract what I wrote: her disk was awful. Dull beyond redemption.

@tobyawriter Agree with you, Colin could really mix up his sound, throughout the entire song.

She's nice, but there is a sameness to her song structures that make them less than memorable. A master producer like Dave Edmunds could give them the shape and punch to rise above.

1st class all the way ! Applause applause applause !!!

American welcomes you. And I'm speaking on behalf of America, just so's you know.

those drums sound GREAT.
x.

it's fair to say that i instantly loved this song.
