Mandolin Orange - Hey Stranger Lyrics






Hey stranger
There's danger down the line
You'll find heartache and trouble
And all your good time
Rowdy ways
I'll tell you no lie
There's no burden greater in life

As soon as you pick yourself up just to say
Hey to your loved ones
Who'll all turn away
Don't go living with trouble in mind
There's no burden greater in life

Hey stranger
If ever you decide
Giving in to the bottom will ease your weary mind
And heavy heart
You'll see in time
There's no burden greater in life

As soon as you pick yourself up just to go
Home to your loved ones
You'll find a locked door
Don't go making mistakes like mine
There's no burden greater in life

Don't go living with trouble in mind
There's no burden greater in life

  60. a.... ....

    FUCKING LOVE MADOLINE ORANGE!!!!! Only just starting listening to them over the past 6 months or so. Their music is amazing, their vocals are so homegrown (hers is quite a bit better than his, hie just doesn't seem to have the same skill, great nonetheless however.)

  61. N.... ....

    What is Emily's guitar here? It has a neck and tone like my (smaller) Gibson but I never see the head stock clear enough in the video to tell

    N.... ....

    So glad you asked! When they visited this February, we asked about their guitars; it may not be the exact same guitar as this session, but it is the same make, a Pre-War Guitars Company Herringbone dreadnought. https://www.thecurrent.org/feature/2019/02/25/guitar-collection-andrew-marlin-emily-frantz-mandolin-orange-pre-war-guitars

  62. T.... B....

    Please come to Australia!

  63. s.... ....

    Music to my ears, really nice. :)

  64. w.... ....

    they are so, so gooood...

  65. K.... C....

    I really love when she plays the violin instead of the guitar, but I still love this song.

    K.... C....

    I like it too. Shes
    a great fiddle player.

  66. A.... P....

    I might be in love with her.

  67. R.... D....

    @1:29
    Bass string vibration....

  68. I.... R....

    I love these guys and this song. but i also love how the guy in the drummer's booth is busy checking his phone. :)

  69. J.... ....

    Is it three different male singers or just different haircuts

  70. L.... ....

    This song's so great, can't get better, makes me wanna cry :)

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

    Gentle harmony- explosive - banjo and bass - lovely!✨❤️✨

    This song thrills my soul! As does all of Mandolin Orange’s music. Keep’em comin’...!

  74. D.... ....

    Can’t wait to see you guys live!
    Please consider putting these live arrangements on Spotify. Stranger, wildfire, echo and there was a time sound so great on those live recordings we can hear that it is always an ongoing work an improvement. I can’t live a day without listening to your soulful music.
    Cheers from Paris and see you soon !

    D.... ....

    Love this band!I want to hear them here in New Zealand!

  77. R.... H....

    My favorite kind of music. So easy listening! Thank you!

  78. J.... S....

    is like Lays potato chips. you can't have just one. in this case, you gotta rewind and watch again.

  79. D.... J....

    These are musicians. Emily and her partner are just perfect together. They create music not just play it.

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

    Will be seeing them next week at the ARK in Ann Arbor Michigan, one of the top folk venues in the country.

    J.... C....

    I wish I'd known they were going to Ann Arbor, I'm just down the road...

  81. Z.... P....

    Is that a seagull guitar with a gibson headstock?

    Z.... P....

    Zoey P Andrew made that guitar.

    Z.... P....

    Learned a little more, because I was curious as well. If you go to the Griggs guitar website and scroll to the very bottom, James Griggs talks about how the guitar was made and also references the origins of Mandolin Orange. http://www.griggsguitars.com/

  82. T.... T....

    beautiful music

  83. T.... H....

    In this tune she sounds a little bit like Alison Krauss... I love it! :)

    Emily, I'm proud of you! Do you remember me?

  94. K.... E....

    Sweet, sweet harmonies...such an authentic sound!

  95. S.... E....

    Poor drummer locked in a cage...

    S.... E....

    Asleep...

  96. S.... C....

    Never heard Mandolin Orange before! Beautifully balanced band. How I wish I could play mandolin like that!

  97. A.... C....

    Your songs give me the peace I need. TKS! ALEX = BRASIL

  98. H.... R....

    I comment in YouTube posts bc you are the only people I can talk to if I want to listen to this music. Also I really love this band and this song.

    H.... R....

    Their music is so polished and pure ~~~

    H.... R....

    Me. I just discovered yesterday they will be in Ann Arbor, went back today to order tickets—too late!!

  99. H.... C....

    This is great can avnyone tell me the strumming pattern that Emily is doing ?

    H.... C....

    Hanorah Cinders it’s normal Carter picking that’s used in bluegrass and folk. She and Andrew are very adept, so there’s more variety to what they play. You essentially play melody notes on the bass side and fill in with light strums on the treble side, while holding down a full chord. If you go to settings on a YouTube vid you have the option to slow down a video, which helps when learning a part.

    H.... C....

    Start of the tune she’s playing either capo 4 or 5 fret, using G, D and C chord shapes.

  100. P.... A....

    tasty bass on this, a new song in our rep and a challenge to capture the essence.
