Andy Shauf - Lean On Lyrics






Winter is coming in through the closed doors
I have been waiting for this
Summer will go and will make room for snow
Start getting ready for the cold

If I am the wintertime, then you are the spring
You're always full of new colors
I'll take the leaves off of every single tree
And you'll always beautifully recover

If I was stronger than I've ever been
Would you stay here by my side?
Or would you think since I'm now stronger a man
That I don't need someone to lean on?
Well I think the strong man needs somewhere to lean
I think he gets a little tired
Then we emphasize strong, and we leave off the man
Strong is only part of the title

And so winter is coming in through the closed doors
I know you've been dreading this
We're losing our warmth
And we're losing our freedom
But we can get by if we've someone to lean on

Andy Shauf Lean On Comments
  1. F.... O....

    Wait a minute, where was this? Some office somewhere? Man, if I had been there, there would be so much smoke everywhere.

  2. F.... O....

    I was roaming, thru the vast lost valley of You Tube music, after so long, to find this music, It shall be part of me for the last few years of my life.

  3. F.... O....

    Love you
    Andy. Wish I was your friend. Get high and see your world thru your eyes. I admire your music.

  4. E.... ....

    His music is some of the only to bring me to tears can’t wait to see live on the 14th

  5. R.... R....

    I like watching his mouth make those noises

  6. A.... H....

    Sounds like his fingers are made of leaves

  7. A.... G....

    Really beautiful, tender , haha. I love his accent

  8. i.... ....

    From the thumbnail I thought this was Maggie Rogers.

  9. L.... G....

    It’s so cool that his albums tell stories!! His new album is about a bar and it’s perfect

  10. J.... T....

    All of them are such fine musicians, and this Hofner bass player, so groovy !

  11. T.... G....

    I'm not one to talk about fashion sense when it comes to bands. But, these are some sharp looking dudes!

  12. B.... P....

    They don't name any of the band members, other than Andy. What gives? They credit the entire production crew. I know the guy playing keys. His name is Collin. He's actually an amazing bass player, and has been playing with Andy for years. Great band! Great songs! And truthfully, I love NPR, and I'm not wearing any pants right now.

  13. C.... G....

    Wish we got to hear the harmonies in You’re Out Wasting

  14. H.... F....

    badbadnotgood covered 'To You', honestly thought it was their song until now

  15. M.... W....

    The Wurlitzer on "to you" makes me want to drop to my knees.

  16. A.... W....

    I really like his songs, but the slurred/squeezed off pronunciation, vowel altering thing he does (which has been really trendy the past several years) bugs me a bit too much to focus on his craft. I have the same feeling about Big Thief, though I love some of their songs, I can't fully commit because the pronunciation is distracting/irritating in some cases. I don't understand how it's so popular nowadays, am I missing something?? All the best.

    A.... W....

    Abraham Wyoming it’s interesting that you find it annoying because that’s my favorite part of his music! I find it so captivating

    A.... W....

    @Liv Grasso That is interesting, I like his riffs and chord progressions, the moods that are achieved too. Lol, idk, it's just a pet peeve of mine which holds me back from really getting into some artists.

  17. L.... -....

    So good!

  18. J.... A....

    This Sounds a lot like sandbox. A band from new Glasgow nova Scotia Canada.
    Which bubbles from the trailer park boys plays guitar in. From the 90s

  19. J.... O....

    The new modest mouse in an original way. Love!

  20. R.... S....

    Wonderful!

  21. L.... D....

    Really liked the music but every comment in here should be on r/im14andthisisdeep

  22. S.... R....

    Anybody knows whats the keyboard he’s using??

    S.... R....

    It's an electric piano, a Wurlitzer to be exact, very expensive and very heavily used in indie haha

  23. l.... ....

    Queremos a El robot bajo el agua!!!

  24. V.... V....

    é 2019 e ainda não me canso de assistir

  25. R.... L....

    Instant like!

  26. S.... K....

    She’s really cute not gonna lie.

  27. C.... S....

    Adore the first song

  28. R.... P....

    i started crying as soon as the video began...

  29. d.... ....

    I didn’t know Negan played the drums

  30. A.... T....

    I would move back to Port Angeles just to be able to tune in to ICI Musique

  31. D.... E....

    A very interesting musician.

  32. P.... ....

    UNLIMITED THUMBS UP!!! Andy's music resonates with me in a way few others' can. It's on infinite repeat. Kudos Mr. Shauf, can't believe it took me so long to find this video and I wait to see you in BK next April!

  33. T.... N....

    I served beer to this guy once lol

  34. T.... A....

    Caught a song of his by serendipitous means during a random playlist on Spotify and I love the guy! Lots of emotions and he channels it and displays without getting in the way. Wonderful stuff.

  35. v.... m....

    Upload this to Spotify!!

  36. M.... C....

    I come back to this set year after year, and am captivated all over again.

  37. G.... F....

    He's basically an elf from LOTR

  38. L.... ....

    Invite Men I trust for god sake

  39. m.... n....

    What's your guys interpretation of "to you"?

    m.... n....

    my name's V2 friend falls in love with homie and tells him and it doesnt go well

  40. C.... ....

    His music is.. so simplistic, yet.. so complex.

  41. h.... ....

    such incredibly intimate music, this really gets across the point of tiny desk

  42. S.... A....

    This randomly came up in my recommended and I’d never heard of him before- yet watching this made me somewhat emotional

  43. J.... C....

    I have no idea what he’s saying. Each word bleeds into the next with very little enunciation.

  44. b.... d....

    Beautifulllll
    Look this Elf singing s2
    I'm in luv

  45. T.... ....

    took about breaking the fourth wall; absolute magic

  46. L.... -....

    So good!

  47. b.... ....

    Labored affectation makes it an act/ theater/a character

  48. G.... A....

    anyone know the names of the people in the band?

  49. R.... S....

    go listen to him perform Wendell Walker live...

  50. E.... M....

    I love this guy and his music! But I'm confused by the put-on speech impediment he sings with. It isn't slight and it's very noticeable. I've heard him speak in interviews, and he doesn't actually have a speech impediment. Is it useful or stylistic in some way that doesn't register for me?

    E.... M....

    It could come out like that because singers use vowels differently when singing rather than talking. As a singer you choose your vowels carefully to create the sounds you want sing.

  51. A.... I....

    WOW. The Magician sounds EXACTLY like the studio version. Omg.

  52. T.... ....

    Guy on the keys is a genius! Such a cool effect.

  53. M.... ....

    Excellent songwriting

  54. L.... �....

    3 years and 2 days since the upload now, still amazing! 💛💛💛

  55. R.... A....

    Very, unique, distinctive. I like it. Love the Wurlitzer sound on the keyboards

  56. T.... ....

    Better live!

  57. s.... ....

    Shades of Jesse Harris, which is a good thing.

  58. M.... B....

    Yoooooooo Im from Saskatchewan

  59. a.... ....

    Great performance & recording! Reminds me so much of McCartney!

  60. J.... D....

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  61. A.... ....

    Was he influenced by Elliott Smith?

  62. A.... E....

    "To You" is absolute perfection.

  63. A.... ....

    No way that is his natural singing voice. Why would anyone intentionally want to sound like that? I’m so tired of these stupid fake indie voices! Am I the only one? Sing from your chest man!
    And to anyone saying he sounds like Elliott Smith:
    No. Never. Not in a million years.

    A.... ....

    ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah no

  64. �.... ....

    좋아 .....

  65. M.... K....

    The best

  66. m.... o....

    Brilliant! Just Brilliant

  67. N.... M....

    Love how the "credits" don't mention the musicians.

  68. E.... S....

    How soft do you think his hair is?

  69. 1.... 7....

    Radiohead and Husky have a son...nice.

  70. K.... R....

    algum BR ai ? se sim deixa um like

  71. K.... B....

    LOVE this man !

  72. K.... H....

    I don't get why I am having such an impossible time understanding his pronunciation of words! He's speaking English, right? I literally heard zero lyrics of the past three songs. Maybe he needs a mic.

    K.... H....

    Thick rural canadian accent

  73. K.... H....

    P.S. Is the bass player playing Paul McCartney's missing guitar? (It's a joke guys, google it)

  74. H.... H....

    His career will continue to steadily incline into legend status in no time

  75. K.... M....

    Me trae buenos recuerdos!

  76. j.... ....

    The stuffies! 💕💕

  77. A.... F....

    not good at all, what a suck

  78. C.... D....

    i can't get my head around his accent. is it affected (does he put it on) or does he actually speak/sing like that?

    C.... D....

    It's just a weird trend in pop/folk music that's been sort of infiltrating for the past 10 years. To squeeze the words out till they're kind of incomprehensible. I find it hard to get around too.

  79. D.... T....

    can i suck you?

  80. V.... B....

    Best tiny desk

  81. j.... g....

    This was kind of disappointing his songs could’ve been so much cooler

  82. F.... D....

    I love the fact that the drummer of FET.NAT is playing with Andy... just best freaking drum language as usual.

  83. A.... ....

    I'm glad Andy made this album but more glad he's moving on. He and Angel Olsen album's (The Party, My Woman) seem like they would be much more emotionally taxing than cathartic to perform day after day

  84. j.... s....

    Great performance, outstanding writing in the description as well. Love Npr

  85. i.... ....

    I think I'm in love with him

  86. P.... B....

    We must be blind to the world around him that he keeps looking into.

  87. A.... S....

    I would listen to a whole album of just this stripped down band

  88. v.... ....

    eu amo um homemmm 🖤

  89. J.... 4....

    starts for each of these beautiful songs
    0:00 , 3:49 , 7:50

  90. J.... D....

    Why does this dude have massive arms and legs but a tiny torso

  91. J.... M....

    Chord progressions remind me of Elliott Smith which is a wonderful thing. Altogether great music.

  92. L.... D....

    He almost sounds like Andy Hull

  93. J.... C....

    GAH I wish I could hear a Tiny Desk version of his entire discography, This is so exquisite.

  94. A.... M....

    Marry me :)

  95. N.... A....

    Just found him. Im in love 😔✨
