Lake Street Dive - Neighbor Song ft Madison Cunningham [Official Video]

We are so pleased to share this version of “Neighbor Song” ft Madison Cunningham. Madison is an extremely special musician and we feel so honored to have had her join us on one of our songs.

We first recorded “Neighbor Song” in 2010, shortly after a few of us had moved to Brooklyn. And now in 2023, we’ve re-recorded it in Brooklyn with Madison live in one room in a single take. We hope you enjoy this fun little song and that it makes you laugh and/or cry!

LYRICS:
I can hear my neighbors making love upstairs
Their love is rattling my tables and my chairs
Keeping me awake
The love they make it's keeping me awake
While I'm just trying to get some sleep on the ground floor

I don't mind my neighbor making love upstairs
Cause I was once the lover making all my neighbors scared
You and me thundering the floorboards with our power and our force
While they're just trying to get some sleep on the ground floor
I can hear my neighbors making love upstairs
Their love is amplifying all of my despair
Cause I was once a lover now I have to listen to my neighbors
Making love upstairs from down on the ground floor
From down on the ground floor
From down on the ground floor

In this city all the humans live in layers
I got people down the hall and down the stairs
We all move in and out and live our lives in stacks and rows and pairs
And try to find someone with whom we can share it

I can hear my neighbors making love upstairs
Wish I didn't have to be so well informed of their affairs
But if I have to hear them doing something, at least they're having fun
Sometimes I forget that all of us are just human
Cause we're all stacked in rows and columns
And if one of them should fall on me
My neighbors making love upstairs would crush me
I'm down on the ground floor

Keep this group of musicians together. Don't let anybody go. Don't add any more. Travel on the road with these musicians. Record with these musicians. Write songs within this group. Please do this for several years. I will buy a CD and attend a show if you do this.

[josecarbajal]

Amazing as always, thank you all dearly!

[NatmanForever]

Oh, look! The world is not so bad. Songs like this exist. ♥

[kenc]

Wow. This was absolutely lovely. What a great harmony with Madison Cunningham.

[youngun]

This collab needs to be semi permanent please... If this became a long term collab I'd be thrilled!

[giths]

I never thought Neighbor Song needed an update but Damn! this is sooo good. The new harmonies courtesy of Madison and Akie and the updated instrumentation from all the members is like a beautiful classic car getting new paint job and new wheels. Thank you LSD this was awesome.🔥🔥🔥

[SALVATlN]

You guys have written some amazing songs, but I think this one is still my favorite. Just love the word choices.

[HelenBotman]

I can listen to this song over and over again. It's so beautifully played and sung. My oh my, those voices...🙏❤

[juanamado]

This song just tugs at the heart strings. It captures such a human essence, it's beautiful.

[bbyllma]

Please, Please continue this partnership! This is MAGIC!!!

[ImGuss]

[jillsalkin]

Stunning. Every day, a unique creation from Lake Street Dive, and with a guest this time, shows up in my YT feed.

[Invertedworldx]

[heelswin]

Wow!!
Love this version of my favorite LSD song!

Gotta admit I do miss the McDuck horn.

[dculp]

Love it when great artists collaborate like this! Sounds beautiful. Everyone seems to be doing that "rubber bridge" guitar sound a la Phoebe Bridgers "Garden Song" with that sort of underwater sound.

[robertgoerss]

A lovely arrangement and performance. The instrumentation in this variation is so lovely.

[MrRonk]

This is the first song I've heard with a guitar using a rubber bridge. I may put one on the old Silvertone parlor guitar I'm working on in the basement. Wonderful!

[keckojones]

What a song! What an amazing group of talented artists.

[ekalbkr]

Wow. I have not checked in with LSD for a while. You are making some wonderful music!
Thanx
