Lake Street Dive - Clear A Space Lyrics






Let me clear space for you to sit beside me
You don't need your back against the wall
Let me figure out how to surrender
All I wanna do is take the fall
I can tell you things that don't come easy
Words I never tried to say before
I see it in your eyes I know you hear me
Baby I can't take it anymore

I wanna make it easy on you baby
(easy on you baby)
I wanna make it easy on you baby
(easy on you baby)
I wanna make it easy on you baby
(easy on you baby)
I wanna make it easy on you baby

I can try pushing you aside
Well, force myself to have a change of heart
Well, none will fill the space that you have left behind, no
Why don't we just finish what we start
Oh, come here almost anytime
I'm really tempted today
Boy you got me thinking what's the crime, yeah
I can get used to me this way

Let me clear a space for you to sit beside me
You don't need your back against the wall now wait
Let me figure...Let me figure out how to surrender
All I wanna do is take the fall oh

I wanna make it easy on you baby
I wanna make it easy on you baby
I wanna make it easy
I wanna make it easy on you baby
Oh yeah, oh I wanna make it easy
(easy on you baby)
I wanna make it easy, easy, easy
(easy on you baby)
I wanna wanna make it easy
(easy on you baby)
Oh, oh nah easy on you baby oh yeah
Ooo yeaaah oh

Let me clear a space, yeah
(easy on you baby)
Ooo yeaaah oh
Let me clear a space, yeah
(easy on you baby)
Ooo yeaaah oh no
Let me clear a space, yeah
(easy on you baby)
I wanna make it easy on you baby

Lake Street Dive Clear A Space Comments
  1. t.... d....

    if her lips looked as good as her voice she may make it in this world, right? https://soundcloud.com/bob-brown-48/red-alert

  2. G.... M....

    I love you, lake street dive!!!!

  3. M.... ....

    This is some fkng kck-ss sht!

  4. J.... K....

    By a lark I heard this band for the first time last night. I'm blown away by the way they develop a song. It's like mixing the Beatles into jazz and adding a pinch of Motown with a light dusting or R&B. I can't get enough.

  5. G.... P....

    All this from a 3-piece percussion set. Yeeeeeaaaaahhhh!!!!

  6. B.... D....

    This is what modern standards sound like

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

    You give me reason to live.
    I need more reason to live, since so many people, who hate my music, are now trying to end me.

  8. V.... D....

    I love that cute thank you at the end

  9. D.... G....

    This is a terrific group of artists.....Can't wait till they get back to Charleston,SC

  10. t.... m....

    Rachael Price’s voice is a instrument by itself. The group is very talented but she is just an incredible singer.

  11. B.... G....

    yep, making my day once again

  12. l.... ....

    Been following since their first covers and they're getting better every day

  13. M.... C....

    Here I was thinking nobody makes good music anymore and I discovered this completely by accident. These guys are amazing.

  14. J.... B....

    such a sweet trumpet solo!

  15. I.... T....

    Sweet Love it!! Rachel has a Soulful voice!!

  16. A.... B....

    What a nice and refreshing group. I'm blown away and in love with all they do. How lucky we are to have them. Just fantastic. I tell everyone I know to check them out. This band will make you happy no matter what. Heavenly really

  17. A.... ....

    this is the strongest argument for the preservation of Western Civilization that I can think of

    A.... ....

    Extreme, but fair.

  18. B.... C....

    I love this sound

  19. B.... S....

    That bass player kicks ass.

  20. S.... G....

    LSD is giving me dopamine kicks...

  21. R.... ....

    Is that a cold sore?

  22. C.... S....

    THIS.....................................................................................

  23. C.... ....

    sooooo goooood maaannn

  24. R.... A....

    So good. I just love how they write songs and how they execute them.

  25. T.... O....

    So, so good. I can't stop watching one after another of their live performance videos. Love the trumpet and Rachel - well I don't even know what to say about her.

  26. t.... ....

    Whatever IT is, they have IT!

  27. A.... E....

    This band is my new happy place.

  28. b.... ....

    I am trying to learn the bass line for this song, and it's making me never want to bother picking up a bass again.  This chick is just ridiculous.  I was listening to the studio version, and I noticed that after the first chorus, she drops the whole riff down an octave, EXCEPT that high G which she keeps hitting.  Meaning she runs all the way up and back down the neck for each repeat of the riff.  I came here to see her play it live and confirm that yes, that is in fact what she's doing.  Just insane.  Who can play like that??  Not me, that's for sure.

    b.... ....

    Yeah... this is nutz! everything they do!

    b.... ....

    Thanks for the education. I don't know enough about it to know what she's doing, but the sound is spot on to this layperson.

    b.... ....

    Yup, she’s a NEC/Tufts grad.

    b.... ....

    know this is a super late reply but you can just hover your hand over the harmonic to find the note and then push your finger down once youve found the pitch. doesnt take away from how good she is but the high g is not really a difficult part of this

    b.... ....

    Well that what being a bass major at NEC of Music will do for you. She is a brilliant bassist. And she's even a better song writer. Wonderful musician is BK.

  29. D.... R....

    and nobody played guitar

    D.... R....

    Sometimes someone does play guitar, and it's still amazing :D

  30. J.... G....

    My favorite

  31. a.... c....

    Wow - excellent accidental discovery!

    a.... c....

    That's how I found them.  Pure happenstance.

  32. D.... G....

    I see there are some thumbs-down for this.  THERE IS NO WAY NOT TO LIKE THIS! It is beautiful complex simplicity.  The bass alone is loveable, the vocals, jeeze - what's not to like?

    D.... G....

    +David Greene You can't fix stupid or bad taste. People are just born with it. Just rejoice that we were born enlightened and can appreciate such wondrous and beautiful things. I'm being a little harsh, but with all the shit music out there now that's dumbing down the masses I'm not going to be apologetic about it.

    D.... G....

    +David Greene When I see crazy things like people doing thumbs down for music like this I just call them "the perplexed."

  33. j.... w....

    wow. I love your music.

  34. J.... M....

    That cold sore... Love the music, love the band but had to stop watching and went straight to audio only.

    J.... M....

    @Jd Malave And that is amazing how such a little thing could ruin something like this for you. Who the f cares...

    J.... M....

    love this band, saw them live the day after I heard about them, they killed it. BUT, I too was a bit thrown by the unfortunate visual blemish in this video. After deeper contemplation, i concluded not only is Rachael Price an Songstress extraordinaire, but a rather brave performer as well.

  35. R.... A....

    These guys need to be more famous right this second

  36. A.... ....

    Real tight.

  37. L.... J....

    This shit is priceless and timeless you could listen to it 20 yrs from now and still get that same feeling as
    the first time, I just discovered this band about a month or close to 2 ago through a friend who played one of their songs possibly this one I was pretty lit but when I heard Rachael's voice I sobered up just a little, I thought it was Amy Winehouse at first then I asked,so that's how it happened I got hooked like pooky from new jack city it just kept calling me man! so I looked her and the band up to check out some more of their music everything I listened to so far is jamming.

  38. h.... ....

    Is that a wallet on the snare? Haha  Just brought me back to concert band season. xD

  39. D.... ....

    what album is this on?

    D.... ....

    Fun Machine

    D.... ....

    Thank You!

  40. 2.... ....

    While all 4 of them are fantastic and work so well together. Rachael Price's voice stops me in my tracks every time. I got to see them last year and will see them again and again. Need to be at an outdoor festival for this.

  41. L.... N....

    Un-be-freakin-lievable!  Their sound is so clean.  Her voice is majestic.

    L.... N....

    Check out her solo stuff if you haven't already. Out of this world

  42. L.... W....

    How could you POSSIBLY turn a thumbs down to this???

  43. A.... P....

    Wow that drummer does so much with such a minimal setup!!

  44. M.... K....

    Could probably be better. Nofa King idea how... but still.

  45. D.... Z....

    That bassist is awesome!

    D.... Z....

    If you like Bridget Kearney's work here, be sure and check out the video of "Henriette" -- the Live & Breathing Pickathon 2012 version. Bridget does absolutely the most amazing upright bass solo I have ever seen in that performance.

    D.... Z....

    @SpaceCowboyToo You ain't jiving! That's off the hook!!!!

  46. A.... D....

    Straight up sick! 

  47. F.... ....

    I think this is my favourite by them.

  48. F.... W....

    So much lovely...sigh

  49. S.... J....

    This is definitely not the kind of music I usually listen to, but daaaaamn they're good. Its not even fair how good they are. I've been a musician for 20 years and after listening to these folks, I've decided to put all my guitars and equipment on ebay because I now realize I suck. I'll just have to pick up a new passion, like making balloon animals at kids birthday parties.

    S.... J....

    I hope you're joking. Just because you're not as good at something as someone else doesn't mean you can't still enjoy it. If you're passionate about it, what does it matter if you're great at it or not?

    S.... J....

    I so know what you mean. I pulled into my garage listening to Alice In Chains and a guitar student of mine told me they wanted to learn this song. I pulled it up and just went... damn! This is intensely good! Great even! Fantastic! 

    S.... J....

    this is not my main music genre too but it's very good.
    btw. very nice and interesting opinion Sir Jacko :)

    S.... J....

    Reminds me of the old joke by Tom Lehrer, "When Mozart was my age, he'd been dead for two years."

  50. R.... E....

    That's astonishing beauty right there kids...

  51. W.... M....

    man, that girl can growl.....

  52. M.... B....

    me like it!

  53. d.... ....

    I'd like to hear from the 36 people who down-voted this as of 9/27/14.  What's not to like???  I saw the band earlier this summer at Hartwood Acres near Pittsburgh. FANTASTIC show!

    d.... ....

    They are obviously tone deaf.

  54. E.... M....

    Such a great band. The music is so perfectly balanced, everyone has a space and they live there comfortably without taking from anyone else. I adore you guys, keep it up! 

  55. T.... W....

    Can't wait to see them in Cleveland :)

  56. A.... R....

    Coming back to Philly for two shows. I plan on being there  both nights

  57. S.... V....

    I wish I could make this video into a physical thing that I could beat pop artists over the head with.  Yelling "THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT, YOU NO TALENT HACKS".

  58. K.... T....

    The drummer is incredible, actually, his timing, his feel, for real this whole band rocks

    K.... T....

    No doubt that drummer is on point

    K.... T....

    indeed!

  59. O.... ....

    Lake Street Dive are hot but who is behind that production? Hats off to these guys, Audio: Matt Ogaz
    Cameras: Jim Beckmann, Shelly Corbett & Scott Holpainen
    Editing: Jim Beckmann

  60. C.... ....

    ..and about 12 people applaud at the end.  It's good they aren't "just trying to get peoples' attention any more", as Rachael said in a recent interview.  Got my attention right away.

    C.... ....

    There's only 12 people applauding because there are just the people from the camera and recording there.  So it's actually a roaring approval as those folks usually don't necessarily applaud.

  61. M.... T....

    Been a (huge) fan for about a year -- love the way McDuck and Bridget work together.  McDuck reminds me sometimes of Hugh Masekela. 

    M.... T....

    Lovely all around! Very much enjoyed this.

  62. G.... M....

    Just beautiful!!!!
    Just saw you at CBS or ABC
    You are wonderful !!!!!!

  63. D.... D....

    Very Cool Stuff!!!!

  64. M.... M....

    I agree

  65. D.... G....

    I love 2:40 when McDuck just laughs at how good Rachael's crazy vocal improv is. You get the feeling they all impress each other constantly. One of my LSD favorite videos.

    D.... G....

    Yes, you must know this fantastic band very well....

  66. W.... W....

    one of akind rp

  67. d.... ....

    That's sweet!  Bass is just so perfect (and she's driving the band).  Add in a fantastic voice, a simple snare and ride symbol (with brushes!) and a clean trumpet and you're half way there. What's the other half that makes this so "sweet"?  Passion and just having fun!  Great stuff... you're in my music favorites with this one.

    d.... ....

    I forgot on other MAJOR point... fantastic audio recording.  Keep that sound engineer with the group!

    d.... ....

    Yes..  Bridget is the base and bass and foundation and drive behind their sound.  She really is something.  It's very much beneficial to listen through headphones so you can just ride the bass line through the whole thing.  And she is a player!  i.e. a jazz musician.  Always improvising and creating, and with a great sense of humor in there..   And Rachael sings okay, too.

    d.... ....

    @Coveskipper She is awesome.  I'll be at their concert here in Pittsburgh this Sunday at Hartwood Acres with my wife and son.  I can't wait.  I hope to get the chance to meet Bridget.

    d.... ....

    @Coveskipper Yep, passable singer; even a little attractive ! ;)

  68. N.... A....

    The trumpet player has some chops
     

  69. C.... ....

    One snare, a ride cymbal, stand up bass, trumpet, Rachael and a few mics on the ground.  Burnin'.

    C.... ....

    That's it!!

    C.... ....

    Bridget is a monster bassist!!

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

    27 people are incapable of chilling out.

  71. S.... S....

    Very good voice, very good musicians, congratulations.
    I would be interested  to hear them on standard songs.

    S.... S....

    The singer Rachael Price has recorded a couple of album of standards and the group did a covers EP that includes songs by Jackson 5, Hall & Oats, McCartney & Wings etc. and the song above as the only original.

    S.... S....

    Rachael has her own album of her singing some classic jazz and blues songs

  72. A.... F....

    G'damn...

  73. D.... R....

    Showtime aired a special called "Another time Another Place" if you enjoy this kind of music it is a must see.

  74. O.... S....

    Blister and all, still performs a killer. True vocalist, great musician Rachel

  75. b.... e....

    Love this group!!

  76. 6.... ....

    2 words   Amy Winehouse   and that's a good thing

    6.... ....

    I was thinking that too... but honestly, this girl is WAY finer, has WAY more control, and --let's face it boys-- that red mane can stay all day and all night too...

  77. f.... ....

    michelle trachtenberg is a really good singer.    ;)

  78. B.... ....

    Colbert bump! :D

    B.... ....

    It's totally how I found out about them! Love their sound.

  79. D.... L....

    This group is so tight.

  80. J.... C....

    her voice is amazing, but don't forget about the guy playing the trumpet (the main song writer). talented music writers are much more rare than talented vocalists.

    J.... C....

    The irony of you making that statement here though is that Rachael wrote this song AND she is an exceptionally talented vocalist not just a good singer.  Also, they all write, even though you are correct that McDuck is the architect of the band and one of the main songwriters.

  81. B.... M....

    5/4 time--nice.

    B.... M....

    @Nathan Swift It has a 5/4 part and a 4/4 part.

  82. S.... ....

    Yep it's official, I'm in love with this chick. ;-)

  83. G.... M....

    Crazy good jazz fusion

  84. R.... B....

    What a great team.  The recording, the video, the voice, the bass, the drums, the trumpet, the song, the arrangement. Everything contributing.  Love it.

  85. d.... s....

    love love love!!

  86. k.... ....

    Great voice!!

  87. D.... H....

    SO SEXY!!!!!......WOWZERZ........I think i lost my trouzers on this one!
    winkey face nibblin tongue
    ;P
    oh my GOD your voice is sooooo pretty......not quite as pretty as you though....welllll idk that's a tough one. LMAO. you are amazing!

  88. D.... H....

    God you sing like an angel. I'm gunna marry you someday.......BELIEVE THAT baby! I want to make this easy on you too.....there's no option here. We gettin' married baby

  89. V.... R....

    I want to buy her a new top :-)

  90. K.... G....

    You guys are amazing!!!! 

  91. S.... B....

    My favorite song by them as well. Her voice is  stupendously, fabulously, incredibly amazing. I love every bit of it. If there was one artist I had to listen to all year, it would be Rachel Price.

    S.... B....

    Rachael Price is my favorite vocalist of all time!

  92. K.... F....

    Good band

  93. m.... ....

    Probably my favourite song by them, ever. Great groove, great bass, great vocal phrasing, etc etc 

  94. G.... ....

    Looks like 24 people out there have no ears.

  95. D.... ....

    upper lip . . . 

  96. a.... ....

    PLEASE come to Detroit!! :))

    a.... ....

    just seen them at the Magic Bag in Ferndale

    a.... ....

    @Art Tucker II REALLY? WHEN?! 

    a.... ....

    a.... ....
