Lake Street Dive - Godawful Things Lyrics






Only a devil could be so bold to break a heart like yours
No no, so cold but you’ve been there before
You’re in a state of disrepair, you’re an answer to my prayers
Well well, I’ll be there

Thank the good lord
For those godawful things
That brought you right back to me

Only an angel can know there’s love to find behind closed doors
In time you’ll know when you’re ready for more
Though you have not a lot to say, let me roll the stone away
Through you I am saved

Thank the good lord
For those godawful things
That brought you right back to me

  1. M.... C....

    Off the chain!!!!!

  2. N.... W....

    Love, love, love these guys. Soothes my soul every time.

  3. S.... O....

    I really like your band.. Just found you !

  4. S.... B....

    Make a song from the intro.

  5. R.... L....

    That intro was so good.

  6. h.... r....

    Has anyone here seen her husband. well i just did he's one lucky basterd. when they say opposites attract they weren't kidding.

  7. J.... A....

    If you and The Milk toured together i could die happy!

  8. R.... H....

    These guys just kill me. So tasty! Impeccable musicianship and killer songwriting. The drummer's left hand technique is just so cool. Bridget's bass work - that upright bass just fattens up their sound so much. And Rachael is Rachael - one of the finest singers on the planet.


    Side note: the eyebrow waggle/smile thing Rachael does as she turns to the camera - yeah, my heart skipped a beat. I'm weak. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    R.... H....

    I agree totally with your observations of their talent. If you haven't already, check out the concerts of their return to the NEC to perform with the NEC orchestra (New England Conservatory, where they all me in the mid-2000s)

    R.... H....

    @Ideal Dan I've seen those videos. Absolutely phenomenal!

  9. D.... ....

    Rachael Price

  16. e.... p....

    Good stuff.

  17. G.... T....

    Great song! ( But go back to your regular studio- doesn't have your normal crisp sound.)

  18. s.... f....

    I wish that guitar solo hadnt happened to such a great song( and I love that guy) , this is as good as modern western music gets.

  19. D.... R....

    i have to say objectively speaking, im a huge fan of the performance and the song. But the bowed bass at the intro is pitchy, the harmonies are sloppy at point, the guitar tone isnt right for the arrangement and the guitar solo is just not that good and finishes with sour phrase..... Im sure they could have got better take

  20. A.... ....

    Can we get some credit to the guy who directed this shoot? Good stuff! Nice choice in lighting, etc.

  21. D.... ....

    Band killed it.
    But can I please get some wide shots! Close up. Close up.Close up.Close up close up fuckssdkslckusocks cose up
    I want watch the band perform, not peer into their souls.

  22. E.... M....

    I like so much these guys...

  23. E.... M....

    It's Good awful to spend one second of your precious time stalking spamming and harassing people on social media!! GET A LIFE. obviously you're completely insane. GOODBYE CRISTIE DA QUEEN. WTF. NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY YOUR HUBBY SEEKS COMMUNICATION WITH OTHER PEOPLE
    YOU'RE A CRAZED WITH ENVY MONSTER.

  24. J.... B....

    I enjoyed this song -- great vibe to it. However, I would have changed the mix to turn down the guitar somewhat and also, eliminate the guitar solo altogether as it didn't seem to fit.

  25. T.... E....

    That drummer was really good.

  26. K.... L....

    lol "sponsored by Bose"

  27. V.... ....

    Who in gods retro loving world would dare to press the dislike button on this song! Only a devil would be so bold,oh no,so cold!to do those god off full things!😳

  28. B.... P....

    please record everything at this studio. dammit they know how to mix.

    B.... P....

    I don't even like this song of theirs, and Bose made me love it.

  29. s.... ....

    Awesome! HalleluJah! May yet eclipse The Beatles creatively and certainally technically!

  30. J.... M....

    Mike looked he wasn't even trying on that solo. Amazing song

    J.... M....

    He tends to not have the best solos, in general.

  31. C.... S....

    Excelent sound and awesome band!!!

  32. o.... ....

    I love this jam! All the players in this band are fantastic!

  33. R.... p....

    Just a wonderful performance. Thanks, guys.

  34. W.... B....

    How many damn cameras were in the studio? Haha, I actually appreciate whoever they get to do their videos. They're always cut so well for live performances.

  35. S.... ....

    This band is so underrated, they deserve more.

  36. S.... M....

    Chunky !

  37. G.... M....

    More cowbell!

  38. A.... M....

  39. W.... M....

  40. A.... Y....

    I love this band beyond words! the person who films them is talented als
    o. I suspect its a band member.

  41. d.... e....

    A daily dose of LSD's music is all i need.

  42. J.... P....

    Still in love with them👌🏻

  43. M.... S....

    Damn these guys are good

  44. R.... p....

    You folks are so good together. All of you sound just right.

  45. T.... W....

    Love this song, you are all very talented!

  46. i.... ....

    I just LOVE how loud the bass is in the mix. Thumbs up!

  47. o.... ....

    I love your voice, Rachel

    o.... ....

    oscarfroken - Her name is spelled Rachael.

  48. B.... N....

    I’m a huge fan and I would absolutely love to hear your cover of Aretha Franklin’s “It Was You”. Your voice has so much soul and I know you’d knock this out of the park!!

  49. S.... ....

    Great sound!! You guys are wearing the same Bose Noise-Cancelling Headphones I have!! Would love to see you guys play a venue near Washington, DC soon!!

  50. B.... Y....

    What great talent, material,voices, arrangement and style....   My question is why aren't they getting more exposure?    I guess this when CEO's from Sony, and others, are to busy trying to market what they think will make THEM the most money.   Anyway,  Ya'll are such a joy to listen to.

  51. R.... ....

    Godawesome

  52. O.... S....

    Show, muito bom

  53. T.... H....

    killer live mix. good job.

  54. R.... S....

    I would love to see them perform, I heard them on prairie home companion

  55. N.... O....

    Fabulous !

  56. v.... s....

    Seriously clever , crafty music. Can't wait til you visit Toronto again.

    v.... s....

    Why, are you in the Europe area?

  57. B.... N....

    sounds great guys! love what you do with the upright bass.

  58. C.... B....

    When it came time for that guitar riff, instead of taking off it went nowhere.

  59. j.... ....

    Sound is good as usual, maybe a little better mixing. The video was better than most. But quick cuts were a little fast for an old man's eyes. Still the best group I've seen in years.

  60. L.... ....

    You bless my eardrums. Love you guys!

  61. K.... M....

    fuinm 2

  62. J.... C....

    I married a woman with some bad things in her past. She has told me we should have met lots earlier in our lives. I tell her the experiences in our past are what made us the couple who we became. Without them, we would not have met. Gawd awful things indeed.

    J.... C....

    John Christensen 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

  63. J.... S....

    I'd love to hear her sing I keep forgetting by Michael McDonald

    J.... S....

    Oh man, yeah! You listening Rach?

  64. n.... m....

    whew ... bridget kearney is a badass.👌

    n.... m....

    She's in a class with Jack Bruce

    n.... m....

    is that the vocalist ?

    n.... m....

    @shortvirtue pvp Bridget is the bass player

    n.... m....

    @bigbopper28 ty

  65. a.... g....

    great live band!!

  66. T.... M....

    The best technical band in the world today

  67. S.... G....

    Thank the good lord I didn't listen to this through godawful Bose headphones.

    S.... G....

    Scott Gibson thank the good lord I am. Bose QC35's have improved my life immensely.

    S.... G....

    They had me at the specs!

  68. J.... M....

    Their all great. As a bass player I can't help but love Bridget's playing.

  69. S.... ....

    i bought the bose nc35s because of your band.

  70. c.... ....

    Does anyone know what they're playing in the intro before they start the actual song? I swear their paying homage to a piece or ya know just including it in their song, and I recognize it, but I have no idea what it is!

    c.... ....

    It sounds like they're playing the slow part from near the end of the song -- the "ba da ba da" section, just with the bass playing the melody.

    c.... ....

    You’re thinking of Brain Damage by Pink Floyd on the first bar, but it isn’t intentional.

  71. N.... R....

    MY HEAD IS EXPLODING OMAGAH SO WONDERFUL

  72. b.... ....

    Bridget's bass at the beginning is like a sad human voice. Wonderful.

  73. S.... B....

    Favorite song after "You go down Smooth." Does anyone know who in the band wrote this piece?

    S.... B....

    Of course. The guy's a freaking genius.

    S.... B....

    Sam Bryner Also my favorite! Such a good song.

    S.... B....

    He wrote You Go Down Smooth as well ;)

    S.... B....

    He's so damn good. But he's wrote all my favs from this group!

    S.... B....

    Tiffany Sullivan was

  74. C.... M....

    Thank the good Lord ❤️

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

    Amourasaurus  11 was great

  76. M.... ....

    For the love of god someone tell me what the snare setup is. I want it in my life.

  77. D.... W....

    DAT SNARE

  78. a.... ....

    COME TO AUSTIN, TX. PLEASE! You guys are amazing, especially Rachael

  79. O.... ....

    Dat bass note on 3:38... what the hell! I thought there would be a massive metalcore breakdown. :|

    O.... ....

    E, open E

  80. B.... ....

    It's like they are the culmination of millions of years of evolution to make the perfect self contained band.   It's got to be providence, too... providence and evolution.

    B.... ....

    Not Providence... Boston. (New England Conservatory.) ;-)

    B.... ....

    Of all the superlative things that could be said of this amazing band and this hauntingly familiar, incomparable voice, your review is the most true and appropriate imaginable.

    B.... ....

    Buelligan88 whatthe fuck are you talking about Jesus man its a damn band .unbelievable

  81. R.... ....

    Likewise with many others checked out a Bose headset, heard this tune and had to have it! Great fresh band with a great sound, much better than the usual fodder we get fed on radio/TV

  82. E.... S....

    I became a fan of y'all strictly from listening to your clip over and over and over again while testing some Bose headphones in Best Buy a week ago. You guys are awesome. So glad to be a fan now and looking to discovering the rest of your amazing music.

    E.... S....

    lmfao i found them the same way but at target😂💯💯

  83. G.... P....

    needs more shit in front of the lens

    G.... P....

    Directed by JJ Abrams.

    G.... P....

    pretty sure nobody cares about your opinion on the quality of the video. Go back to your mothers basement.

  84. H.... B....

    No highs, No lows. Pick Bose!

  85. a.... ....

    love the arco intro!!

  86. F.... ....

    this band is soooo goood!!!

  87. T.... ....

    amazing as always

  88. M.... S....

    Lookin' forward to seeing you in Chgo in Sept!!!

  89. s.... ....

    As this is clearly a paid promotional video, isn't it legally required to have a disclaimer stating that either in the video or in the notes? Maybe I'm blind, but I'm not seeing that. I love the song and the video, and love that LSD is getting some support from Bose, a company that I respect deeply, but I'd hate to see either party get into trouble by not properly disclaiming the sponsorship of this video.

    s.... ....

    It doesn't hurt to cover your ass and just put a single sentence at the end of the description clearly stating that this was a paid promotion for Bose. It's not a matter of being chill, or being cool, it's a matter of being legal.

    s.... ....

    To what regulation are you referring? It's a video of a band performing a piece of music they wrote. what disclaimer is required? Something about who put up the money or what equipment they are using? What?

    s.... ....

    @Nick Landess If you actually read the description, it's clearly written by Bose as it talks from their perspective, not that of LSD. This leads me to believe that they not only received free use of the studio and equipment contained within, but monetary compensation as well. If this video was posted on a channel owned and operated by Bose, no disclaimer would be needed, but as it appears on LSD's channel, if money was exchanged, it needs to be stated either in the video itself, or in the notes.

    If you'd like, I can happily google "FTC guidelines for endorsement videos" for you, but I'm pretty sure a savvy web user like yourself doesn't need my help with that, right?

    s.... ....

    +skyzefawlun Legal? Seriously? You must be an FTC attorney.

    s.... ....

    Nope, not an attorney and not affiliated with the FTC or anyone. I just want to make sure the LSD doesn't get into any trouble if this is a sponsored video.

  90. M.... U....

    YAY! New from Lake Street Dive! Makes my day!! :D

  91. H.... ....

    Can... use an upright bass as a cello or vice versa

    H.... ....

    They're totally different instruments. Stylistically you can play them both with a bow or your fingers but a bass is far larger. And to my knowledge they're tuned differently.

  92. C.... O....

    I've been playing this on repeat the last few hours. Well done session guys!!!

  93. A.... ....

    just godawfully amazing ;)

  94. n.... ....

    Love this band!!!

  95. I.... B....

    yeeeaah ! 👐

  96. R.... ....

    I was just testing Bose headphones at best buy and was surprised to hear you! So glad that you guys are getting more recognized. Love your musicality and style!

    R.... ....

    RodneyBalmes same here in Bahrain Virgin Music Store

    R.... ....

    RodneyBalmes downloaded their music too

    R.... ....

    RodneyBalmes Lol thats a trip. I actually became a fan of Lake Street Dive BECAUSE of Best Buy. Im a sales consultant there in the Home Theatre department and we have one of theyre songs on a Bose Soundbar as part of a demo (the song is "Mistakes") and I thought she was AMAZING! Her voice is incredible. Made me wanna listen to all theyre songs

    R.... ....

    🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👼🏼 Thank the good Lord for bringing you to me.

  97. D.... ....

    This just made my day!

  98. S.... S....

    Bass for life :)

    S.... S....

    She holds her own pretty good in this band.  An integral part of their sound for sure.

    S.... S....

    Bridget Kearney on the Upright DB Great Musician.

    S.... S....

    Yes; a thrill to hear her bow the bass instead of thrum.
