Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness - Halls [AUDIO]

FOLLOW ANDREW

LYRICS
Pouring rain in Tucson, Arizona
Checked into the Congress Hotel
Met the band in a bar next to the lobby
Looking for another story I could tell
When I left town we were headed for the altar
And I told you I’d be back before too long
Cut my hair, and I found me a new girlfriend
Thought a broken heart could write a perfect song
And it did, and I was right, so now you’re gone
You echo in the halls
I feel your shadow on this empty stage
I hear your music through the walls
I see your picture on the blank page
Oh, you echo in the halls
Played the show, left another message
Booked a ticket for tomorrow in Tempe
3 a.m., doing cartwheels down the hallway
I’ve been drinking since the day I set you free
But on this airport morning will you wait for me?

Heard this in Albertsons months ago and couldn’t find it anywhere! I’d given up hope of hearing it again. Then tonight I went back to Albertsons and heard it again! I was soo excited, and I had Shazam this time to find it. A small moment of joy on my Sunday evening. :)

The songs on this album feel like those days that are full of sunlight, when the air is cold and crisp despite the cloudless sky.

[jenidominga]

This song hurts and I can't stop listening.

[jennythorson]

Oh hey I'm from Tucson. The Congress Hotel is an awesome place.

I like coming here because the comments are all like "I love this guy", "I love this song", "fav song", etc. And there are 0 thumbs down...and this is the most positive corner of YouTube...and that's fantastic.

[bumizoid]

Andrew is always good for one solid catchy tearjerker.

[jibbutter]

Andrew, there is a day that I do not look forward to and that is the day that you stop writing music. May you live forever.

[RAVENC-]

Came to see if I could vibe to this, stayed for the chorus, left to buy on iTunes.

[BugsyBugYT]

[katejones]

[Rock_ian]

[bigjohnclay]

[lizbethfigueroa]

Why do your songs always hit the damn spot. After nine months I saw him yesterday. The one that introduced me to Andrew. The one that got away.... I hear your music on the walls Mr. A

[DoubIeRose]

Thought a broken heart could write a perfect song
And it did, and I was right, so now you’re gone

this is why i come back to this album

[joewiedmeier]

Cleaning up my first house that I bought by myself. And now my girlfriend and I just got an even bigger house with a kid on the way is an amazing feeling then hearing this downstairs was really cool. Now I can catch my damn breath and play some Xbox and be ready for tomorrow. You’re damn right we’re ready! Tired but ready to run the army 10 miler all over again! 👌

[rosieharris]

[ikarufox]

I can only hope this will be the next single off this album. It just speaks to me..

[ChristopherWalkenActor]

[ApolinarPerdomo]

I'm here because I heard "Cecilia and the Satellite" during the ep. 3 of the Supergirl series. What a wonderful find! I'm enthralled with every song.
