The band returns with “Good Morning,” the new single from their upcoming sophomore album, Ribbon Dancer (Release date TBD 2023). “Good Morning” is an explosion of surging synths, sweet sentiments and retro grooves which marks a new era of production for singer-songwriter Adalia Powell-Boehne and her band.
The first lines of “Good Morning” were written while Boehne was a senior in high school on the napkins at an Indian restaurant she worked at. In between delivering plates of Indian food she rushed to write down, “Your face is kind, I’ll stay with you till my face has lines.” Fast forward a few years later to an internship at Audiogrotto recording studio (Ashley Shepherd, Bad Veins, Walk The Moon) during slow days she would practice creative exercises in songwriting and record herself making short songs. For one exercise, she used the lyrics from the napkin to start writing “Good Morning” and posted a short verse onto Soundcloud. Soonafter, a hip hop artist heard the demo on Soundcloud and asked to use the chorus and the song had its first release titled “Your Face Has Lines.”
Almost 8 years later the song has been taken back by its original author and recreated as a full band KNOTTS original. What started as a love song about growing old with someone has made an 8-year spanned addendum reworked to include themes of self love with lines nodding to those waitress years, “when I was waiting tables I knew it all along, I was closing doors behind myself. I knew I couldn’t find nobody else,” and finds Boehne singing to herself, “Your face is kind, I’ll stay with you till my face has lines.”

Good Morning Lyrics
Good morning my darling sleepy head good morning my darling I hope you are well
Your face is kind I’ll stay with you till my face has lines Your face is kind I’ll stay with you till my face has lines
Good morning happy birthday you’re turning into you’re turning into you’re turning into another year with you
Your face is kind I’ll stay with you till my face has lines Your face is kind I’ll stay with you till my face has lines
Have you ever had a feeling that wouldn’t leave you alone when I was waiting tables I knew it all along I knew it all along I was closing doors behind closing doors behind myself I knew I couldn’t find I couldn’t find nobody else
I see your face in the morning I see your face on the tv screen I know you’re somewhere out there I know you’re somewhere inside of me
Your face is kind I’ll stay with you till my face has lines Your face is kind I’ll stay with you till my face has lines
