Lake Street Dive - Hang On Lyrics






We once were luminous lovers, just you and I
We shone as brightly as the stars in the summer sky
My light was only supposed to shine on another guy
So lover, hang on

I'd grown accustomed to the role of the crying one
You brought me to another world where the crying's done
And now the other man's cryin' has just begun
So lover, hang on

Hang on, hang on
Until then I whisper to my lover
Tell him I'll be back again another day
Hang on, hang on
Until then I whisper to my lover
Tell him I'll be back again another day

Our night of luminous love was just a start
We're a brand new binary star, put us on the charts
Lover, hang on, first I've gotta go and break a heart
So lover, hang on

Hey goodbye
Gotta go, baby
Hey that's life
But you know that I hate it
Hate goodbyes
Hate long waiting
There ain't no fire
Like the one that I'm saving

(Summer's gone, winter's waiting)
Our night of luminous love was just a start
(Won't be long, I'll hurry back, baby)
We're a brand new binary star, put us on the charts
(Ain't no fire like the one I'm saving)
Lover, hang on, first I've gotta go and break a heart
Ain't no fire like the one that I'm savin' for good, baby

Hang on, hang on
Until then I whisper to my lover
Tell him I'll be back again another day
Hang on, hang on
Until then I whisper to my lover
Tell him I'll be back again another day

Hang on, hang on
Until then I whisper to my lover
Tell him I'll be back again another day
Hang on, hang on
Until then I whisper to my lover
Tell him I'll be back again another day

    Okay so this my fav LSD song...then I hear another and it jumps the line. I love everything they do. I'm hopelessly smitten with these five musicians. Love my LSD 🎶🥁🎤🎺 🎹🎻 🎸

    S.... K....

    Nailed it. I've been loving them for a decade and could not ever pick a favorite -- you're spot on, each one jumps the line.

  6. l.... ....

    Damn Bridgette!!!! Please PLAY ME like that upright BASS!!!

  7. S.... C....

    It’s all about the bass , yeah I know..,

  8. L.... L....

    Oh wow this is amazeballs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  9. C.... L....

    I love this band. I’m glad I stumbled across them. Each video changes my day for the better

  10. M.... H....

    You guys are so amazing!!!! Can’t wait to see you guys and wood bros at Wolf Trap❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  11. W.... C....

    Not only does LSD have the best live performances of any band around, their songs are so creatively original --a unique combination. When my Baby Boomer friends complain about today's music, I simply say, "You have not heard Lake Street Dive. Prepare yourself for a sweet sonic treat."

    W.... C....

    Totally agree :)

  12. A.... ....

    Great as always and even got better with the keyboard player on board .

  13. j.... s....

    Love the new band member Arkie and his subtle keyboard skills, perfectly adds and extends the beauty of this band's performances :))

  14. h.... ....

    I have loved listening to music for most of my 65 years.... but I have to say this some of the most enjoyable I have ever heard.

  15. k.... s....

    So fine...!

  16. f.... ....

    Cover idea, "Walking On Sunshine"...…….

  17. t.... ....

    more bass in the mix please xxxxx

  18. B.... ....

    So awesome...no dragon pants but I sense a sweet intro rambling on LSD ♥️🔮🐉🎸
    https://youtu.be/zoBvVXluE0M

  19. K.... G....

    This band DESERVES to make it. They are THAT GOOD

  20. M.... S....

    the thing with this band is they never stop Bringing It! They are all real Players, songs like this come to life because everyone innovates. yeah, Rachael's voice is always a phenomenal focus, the subtle interplay that everyone puts in.... but check out the amazing interplay between bass and bongos... only word for that is Tight

  21. D.... G....

    She has enough control to sing lead vocal into an sm 58.
    For those of you that don't sing, that's quite a feat.

    D.... G....

    props to the sound engineer as well.

    D.... G....

    @Eric G 'struth!

  22. i.... ....

    Best. Band.

  23. G.... I....

    Fantastic. I love the slightly complex rhythms going on in this song... definitely the collective Jazz educations coming out to play. Stellar stuff as always!

  24. E.... G....

    at 0:34 did Bridget release a silent one? 😂😂😂 Akie's facial reaction when turns to the right to grab some fresh air as Bridget looks at him wondering "did he smell it?'

  25. T.... B....

    Very, very nice.

    I only found LSD a few weeks ago and now each new song or re-listening deepens my appreciation. I find that I can hear the voice of each instrument and the vocal and then they all come together to make the magic. Share from me.

  26. E.... H....

    absolute perfection as usual, and akie bermiss at 2:03 though (and of course the entire time)--incredible!

  27. C.... W....

    Please come to Toronto.

  28. d.... ....

    So beautiful, looking forward to catching you in San Francisco in September!

  29. K.... M....

    Beautifully spare version of a very cool, very unusual song. Love it, on multiple counts, but not least because, to my knowledge, I've never seen another drummer power a 5/4 groove on muted bongos.

  30. C.... M....

    Aww man. aww man aww man aww man awwwwww man etc.

  31. a.... ....

    In the band's pre-Akie era, the piano break would would have been a trumpet break. Not complaining, just noting.

  32. E.... G....

    Love Mike C's harmony on this one! It's just a third below on "on" but sounds so unexpected for some reason.

  33. A.... C....

    3:23 😍👌 that smile

    A.... C....

    yeah, when it just can't get any tighter

  34. A.... ....

    Just found out you guys are coming to my college town... couldn’t be more THRILLED!!! 😁😁

  35. D.... A....

    That mic sucks. Not a fan of this recording process .

  36. R.... ....

    Really appreciate the sound quality of the stuff you release on YouTube.

  37. R.... P....

    Kd a brasileirada que curte o som dos caras?

  38. H.... ....

    💛💛💛

  39. V.... F....

    When you think LSD can't be better, they release a song in 5/4 time that's actually catchy...amazing

  40. m.... ....

    Her Voice is simply an ADDICTION for me!!! LOVE LSD!!!

  41. 1.... ....

    Wow! I love you guys! How about a New Zealand tour ? ......you can crash at my place.....

  42. J.... B....

    Holy shit I just realized that with Akie y'all can now group cosplay as Mystery Inc, it's perfect.

  43. C.... S....

    You all are Brilliant!!!

  44. r.... ....

    Love how Rachael's vocal lines would sound right at home on a horn or a guitar. So many pop/rock/etc. singers can't truly be called "musicians," but there's no shade of a doubt when it comes to Ms. Price.

  45. l.... ....

    They really need to mic the bass. That girl is jammin' way to hard to barely register the sounds she's creating.

  46. T.... B....

    Wow...this is an amazing song...loved it

  47. �.... ....

    What more can I say?

  48. Z.... 6....

    Think I like this version more than the cut on the album...

    Z.... 6....

    I love that version, too, but it is pretty awesome to have this 'deconstructed' reading available. One of the great things about LSD is how much they can do with a minimal live setup like this. And how about the fluency of Mike Calabrese in translating the full drumset part he normally plays down to a pair of bongos? Bearing in mind that the groove of this song is in a very unusual 5/4 meter? He's seriously underrated by most, I think, maybe partly because he always makes it look so easy and natural.

    Z.... 6....

    Kevin McKinney Yes-that’s the true sign of anyone who is great at what they do- they make it look easy. I’m a drummer, and he definitely has my respect, as well as all the other members...

  49. E.... k....

    I am just so happy whenever I listen to you guys! In fact, your band has brought me so much closer to my father-in-law. We can't wait to see you at Red Rocks!!! Much love from CO!

  50. J.... V....

    Rachel is exceptionally pretty today...just saying.

    J.... V....

    James Von Maxwell - Her name is spelled Rachael.

    J.... V....

    And have you checked the other Hang on You Tube version..?

  51. J.... V....

    Beautiful production, and an excellent song. Well done LSD.

    J.... V....

    Might add...Led Zeppelin esque...beautiful.

  52. R.... L....

    LOVE IT

  53. S.... K....

    She looks like a young Ruth Bater Ginsburg

  54. s.... ....

    This is my favorite song off the new album. Just excellent.

  55. H.... B....

    Frick that’s good HHHHAAAAAANNNNG ONNN

  56. J.... B....

    Y'all givin' me chicken skin with your musical presence!

  57. M.... ....

    Love it!!

  58. T.... M....

    Going to see them in September 😌

  59. T.... W....

    Ever since I heard these guys a couple of months, I’ve just been obsessed with their music. Just love the basic instrument sound, the vocals, such raw talent!

  60. A.... B....

    by far the best song on the album.

  61. c.... ....

    liquid awesome.

  62. d.... h....

    That was excellent.Love watching this band mature. ......Bridget's hair's a bit Queen(the band),circa 1975,

  63. S.... P....

    Fantastic band!!

  64. S.... G....

    Consistent high level songcraft...again! That's a double positive, btw. :)

  65. A.... M....

    I loves me some 5/4 meter! Well done LSD!

  66. J.... S....

    Yea! So good.

  67. H.... M....

    The editing on this video lacks both rhythm and narrative flow. It is frustrating, nearly unwatchable. Great song, though!

  68. p.... ....

    I’m so in love w Rachael

  69. C.... K....

    Favorite song on the album. Such a treat to hear it live and acoustic. Thank you!

  70. T.... S....

    Love My LSD....BEST TRIP EVER......Cheers Everyone!!

  71. F.... T....

    Hang on!!!!

  72. R.... K....

    I like your music so much, hope you come to Germany again soon...

  73. J.... J....

    love the video the only band I follow <3

  74. d.... ....

    Outstanding!

  75. K.... K....

    Amazing! Inspired!

  76. L.... ....

    Yessir. Keep it up!

  77. A.... ....

    Sounds really good, love it :)

  78. W.... C....

    I can’t for the life of me figure out why LSD isn’t all over the radio. Just so much...everything!!!

    W.... C....

    William It’s okay - they’re fairly successful and will hopefully remain so... more for us. The masses ruin everything. :) They’re *too* talented to get that huge.

    W.... C....

    They actually play instruments. That disqualifies them for modern day success. Now if they broke out a laptop and some samples and auto-tuned Rachael, they'd have a chance.

    W.... C....

    people still listen to radio?

    W.... C....

    This is music for grown ups. There aren't so many grown ups anymore since the youth revolution in "68.

  79. C.... M....

    Another great song. Thank you.

  80. R.... L....

    Alan Tudyk always does a great job on guitar.

    R.... L....

    If Wash could play guitar like that, Firefly would still be on the air.

    R.... L....

    This comment is underrated hahaha

  81. B.... B....

    Great song

  82. s.... t....

    Such a great voice

  83. G.... C....

    Yes! Another great tune. LOVE IT!

  84. M.... C....

    My ears perked up the minute I heard the intro, man do I love this band. I love the fact that they give u this organic sound of their songs, although they have the studio produced version..they just keep it real, they give it to u the way they prob wrote it..please , please keep it up guys. U guys are my favorite band hands down. It's like the Beatles or Jimy Hendrix all over again.

  85. C.... B....

    Sweet damn, this is nice music!

  86. Z.... ....

    ♡♡♡♡

  87. V.... B....

    I don't believe I'll ever tire of this band being stellar...

  88. R.... R....

    When LSD publishes a new video, my day gets a free upgrade to ... FIRST CLASS!

  89. t.... ....

    Favorite current band, hands down.

    t.... ....

    If you haven't already; treat yourself to seeing them live...life is too short not to.

  90. A.... y....

    Music...

  91. B.... B....

    Yes! Ever since I heard this live a year ago I have been waiting for this version.

  92. G.... ....

    Fabulous tune and wonderful performance. Love you guys!

  93. R.... H....

    Too much talent to be contained in a van, even a luxury van such as this is

  94. K.... L....

    I will listen to this band on a stage.
    I will listen to them on a bus or in the street.
    I will listen to them while I tap my feet.

    K.... L....

    I would listen in the rain!
    I would listen on a train!

    I would listen here. I would listen there.
    I will listen to them everywhere!!!

    K.... L....

    Dig the rhyme!

  95. A.... A....

    Its a good feeling when one of your bands puts out new music

  96. A.... K....

    Yes. Just... yes. Amazing.

  97. T.... ....

    Hope I get to see you live someday :-)

    T.... ....

    At the risk of sounding like Nike or LeBeouf...'do it' , I did...knock down those obstacles, it's all worth it.
