Considering I’ve never really set out to do so before, I wanted to write a classic love song and this is as close as I got. I think the crux of it - the song is about finding someone who makes you feel less crazy, or at least someone who finds your craziness endearing because it’s real and honest. And that real, imperfect love is not always as fantastical or magical as a wild romance, but that it’s worth waiting for.
When the song was first written, I demo’d it really simply and felt like it was from a more universal kind of songwriter-y voice than most of my work, and that it didn’t really fit in with the rest of my songs. I figured I’d try to get someone really famous to sing it instead of me. But my wife really encouraged me to take the leap and go for it myself. So I did. It feels like a leap, but one that I’ve come to appreciate.
The song was produced by Simone Felice (Lumineers, Bat For Lashes) and engineered/mixed by Ryan Hewitt (Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers). They had a really simple and classic vision for it, and I recorded the vocals and piano live off the floor duo with Matt Johnson (Jeff Buckley, St. Vincent) on the drums. Matt’s playing is wonderfully sparse and open, and it left a lot of room for the lyrics to sink in. The take feels a bit imperfect in a nice way. There’s a moment at the end where I chuckled on the line “Oh, and they tell me”. Simone liked it because he couldn’t tell if I was laughing or crying. And ain’t that just life…

One of my top favourites of all time
Cannot listen to this song without actual tears.

What a heart punch this song i cry everytime i listen but i keep listening
Beautiful, love it! I think the only other person that I think could do these lyrics justice is Adele!
Deserves more attention
I will never tire of listening to this song.
Listening to this as I foolishly wait for the love of my life to come back 💔
Sucks, I get it. Focus on you, make you the love of your life
I can't wait to hear this live next year in Prague ❤
You are one of my favs Dan.
This song is hauntingly beautiful and hits me right in the gut. This is hands down your best song. ❤️
lol
I can't tell you what it means
When you are here I am at ease
I don't blame you when you're gone
For the sadness in my song
That weight is mine alone, that shadow is my own
The coast is never clear
I'll wait for morning though, you will arrive
So we can watch that shadow disappear
If you try to be with me, I will try to get by
Some say I'm a fool for waiting
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind
They tell me "Give it up"
But I won't ever give it up
Because when the night does fade
I'm alive in the strangest way
Those first few cracks of dawn
Are a taste of what's to come
And yes I hum and haw about nothing at all
I get lost in fear
But no thief or act of god could take this grin I've got
I know you will be here
And if you try to be with me, I will try to get by
Some say I'm a fool for waiting
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind
They tell me "Give it up"
But I won't ever give it up
Ah, they tell me...
So what she's in your head?
She's gonna leave again?
What's gonna happen then?
She's just enabling
And there is truth to that
But I ain't holding back
If you try, try, try
Try to be with me, I will try to get by
Some say I'm a fool for waiting
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind...
If you try to be with me, I will try to get by
Some say I'm a fool for waiting
They don't know, this fool doesn't mind
They tell me "Give it up"
But I won't ever give it up
Oh, and they tel me "Give it up"
But I won't ever give it up

Beautiful, heartfelt and truthful...bravo and so well done Dan Managan,,,the USA needs your song-craft and soulful voice.
Damn you're a true artist. Not forcing us to believe in a false reality that makes no sense! No wonder I love your songs! Bravo!

This wasn't where I expected the video to go, I love it. Adds a whole 'nother level to an already beautiful song. This definitely sends me back to the feels fest that is Postcards and Daydreaming. Great song Dan, always happy to hear a new one from you.
Postcards and daydreaming ❤❤❤
What an amazing album
Just came across your music Dan Mangan as I was searching for my great grandfather, Owen Peter Mangan's memoirs. He was from Ireland and immigrated to Philadelphia PA in the late 1800s. He died in 1924 in Lynn Massachusetts. My grandfather was Louis Mangan. What do you know of your family's history?
As much as I like the rest of your work I absolutely love this (successful) attempt at a classic love song. Though it feels like a song written for someone else to sing, I'm very glad you went for it. I get emotional every time I listen to it. Damn you! ;)
This is exactly how I feel about the woman I love who can’t be mine
Marriage is the toughest thing I've ever done.
Flawless!
I hope I can attend your show in Minneapolis in April.
is he touring in the apocalypse? i would definitely see him. him and spencer krug.. those are the only two i would sit thru a concert for.
Absolutely love it!! The lyrics touch my Soul ❤️
