Beginning with an attention-getting, slightly-flattened open E, “Adult Diversion” introduces the listener to what defines Alvvays: energetic, noisy and upbeat songs about longing. Long-distance longing, that is. Rankin complains about admiring someone from a distance.
“Dreams Tonite”, a song on the following album, has similar themes.
“I was working at a smoothie hut for a while in Toronto. Only one or two people would come in during the day and usually only to use the washroom. That song spawned out of admiration from afar and spending a large chunk of time alone.
The premise of the song was having an unhealthy fixation on someone and following them around. The lyrics on paper don’t seem all that stable but shoved into a wistful pop song: much better!“
– Molly Rankin in an interview with The Line of Best Fit
