Shauf, Andy - Try Again Lyrics






Somewhere between drunkenness and chivalry
I hold the door open and let her pass through
She says thanks to me in a British accent
And I try to answer her in the same voice
She laughs at me, says "What was that supposed to be?"
I say "I'm sorry, I'm from a different part of the country."

She says "Come on baby, try again."
"Come on baby, try again."

Somewhere between drunkenness and sincerity
I smile at her for just a little too long
Charlie's drinking wine, Judy's laughing at him
She says "I forget that you're such a fancy guy."
He tips his hat, says "M'lady, do you come here often?"
I swear I've seen them do this one a hundred times before

Come on baby, try again
Come on baby, try again

Somewhere between drunkenness and charity
She puts her hand on the sleeve of my coat
She says "I've missed this.", I say "I know, I've missed you too."
She says, "I was actually talking about your coat."
She makes me laugh, oh how she makes me laugh
I just let my head sink down and fake some deep sobs

Come on baby, try again
Come on baby, try again

Somewhere between drunkenness and jealousy
I watch her talking to some old friend
What a reunion, he recognized her across the room
How many years could there be to catch up on?
And somewhere between drunkenness and honesty
I make a silent toast to the things that I do and don't miss

Come on baby, try again
Come on baby, try again
Come on baby, try again
Come on baby, try again

    If anybody particularly enjoys the art style used here, you should check out Shugo Tokumaru's video for "Katachi".

    Feels like a much softer version of an ok go song for me 😄

  34. C.... M....

    Anyone else getting Sufjan Stevens vibes?

    C.... M....

    Definitely agree. Sufjan was my first musical love, Andy is my second. Pretty similar instrument selection and voice timbre

    C.... M....

    @Cornshot listen to nick drake guys

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

    Why do you come in Paris during holidays on next April ? So disappointed... I will be far and... sad. It will be a good idea if you sing at my office, there is a beautiful auditorium. If you are interested I can ask my boss. Thank you so much for your delicate music and lyrics. Saw you with 2 colleagues and good friends at la Maroquinerie with Foxwarren : great great moment !

  36. J.... D....

    It’s always good with this guy becoming a huge fan

  37. r.... m....

    Love this guy! I'm hearing Paul Simon and fountains of Wayne...

    r.... m....

    You can call me Al style

    r.... m....

    And "Hackensack " by fountains of Wayne...all in all ...good music!!

  38. E.... T....

    Wow awesome song I love the abstract editing of this video

  39. c.... ....

    Lovely song and animation.

  40. R.... S....

    Really good music , I remember back on 2016 when I heard The Party album...so glad he is back with a new álbum!

  41. S.... ....

    My current favorite song

  42. P.... o....

    Only Andy could fit 10 syllables into a 3 second line and make it sound good.

  43. S.... G....

    Poor Andy. He really needs some help with women. He’s sounds so awkward in these “situation” songs. I’ll be your Hitch Shauf, for a fee of course. “If you’re good at something never do it for free.”

  44. M.... ....

    Oh this is wonderful, I'm getting some serious Paul Simon vibes in the verses too. I love it.

    M.... ....

    MusicSim8 I was just thinking this has Call Me Al vibes

  45. M.... R....

    Brilliant video! Smoking house!

  46. h.... ....

    If I can be inlove

  47. h.... ....

    يلهوي

  48. S.... W....

    Stumbled across this gem by accident. So glad I did.... It's like opening a window in a dark room and letting the sunshine in... 🙂 🌟

  49. K.... T....

    So he's coming back 4 years later for telling us he's still stuck at that party? Ok i take it.

    K.... T....

    Ha ha ha ha.

  50. A.... �....

    He gotta come to Croatia !

  51. T.... X....

    His music is so cool

  52. D.... S....

    I love u Andy hell yaaaaaaa this is sick in all ways bb

  53. t.... ....

    Canadian Paul Simon?

  54. H.... G....

    If I had a dollar for every time I've played this song, enjoyed its heartfelt lyrics, and sublime musical stylings, I'd be able pay my way through law school, and the tune has only been out for two days. Everyone can relate to one of the characters described in Andy's cerebral universe, whether it be the bashful and quietly jealous narrator, the "perfect" couple of Charlie and Judy, or the ex who is back in town and unexpectedly runs into to the person they used to call their own. I, for one, relate to the narrator. In the most cautiously optimistic way, I feel like Andy knows that while, maybe the relationship he values will never re-materialize, he can still smile at the girl he once loved. The line "she makes me laugh, oh, how she makes me laugh" after the exchange regarding his coat sleeve is so earnest, modest, and, most of all, relatable. I know I've said stupid things to people I love, to the point where I know what Andy means when he inexplicably describes the burning in his ears after misinterpreting someone's words. If you've made it to the end of this, thank you. It's hard to put into words just how brilliantly introspective and impactful Andy's music is. I never like to wish away the days, but I'd be completely satisfied if I woke up tomorrow and it was January 24th, 2020.

    H.... G....

    why would you go to law school man

    H.... G....

    I need to know where I too can go to law school for seven hundred bucks!

    H.... G....

    did you write this high on adderall

    H.... G....

    well said.

  55. A.... L....

    I love this! Your music videos add so much to the songs. So inspiring.

  56. P.... R....

    the verses of this song for president

  57. P.... R....

    I LOVE YOU SO MUCH ANDY
    - natalie from pv

  58. m.... ....

    Sort of reminds me of The Kooks and The Strokes.

  59. N.... U....

    Thank you =')

  60. B.... ....

    When you’re in your twenties this kind of material feels like it validates you and you connect with it, but after you turn fifty it repels you because you’ve finally learned that the woman in the song is an abusive sociopath, and the lyricist is a naive cuckold who needs to develop better boundaries.

    B.... ....

    damn bro sorry it went that way for you but that isn't a reason to generalize

    B.... ....

    lol another guy who watches Jordan Peterson videos with a warped perception of relationships

    B.... ....

    Haha! Ok fine, I’m wrong - you guys are right. Have fun boozing & chasing after women who have zero interest in you as a person while you spend all the money you’ll need much later in life and dangle your reputation like a piñata in front of all of her peers. 25 years from now you can come back here & tell me I was right - if I’m still alive. Don’t worry, I won’t criticize you or rub it in. We’ll have a good talk about it. Don’t get married or have kids. Oh, and don’t call me “bro.” I’m not a ‘bro.’ I’m older than you & way more experienced, and I don’t wear a stupid ball cap. Call me SIR.

    B.... ....

    I like how youre trying to act like the mature 50 year old while simultaneously referring to people as cucks in youtube comment sections

  61. B.... I....

    Paul Simon vibes ❤

    B.... I....

    Believe In The Sound yep

    B.... I....

    Thought the same thing when I first heard

  62. B.... ....

    Fucking LOVE this guy.. Your music is amazing man.

  63. T.... H....

    Most upbeat Andy song ever?

    T.... H....

    The Heart Of A Blackbird

    Jenny Come Home

    T.... H....

    @Marcus Metternich True this. I love that song.

    T.... H....

    @Heart of a Blackbird

    If your nickname is referencing that great Elliott Smith song (a distorted Reality...), then I love you.
    But Andy is not ES , very different more Jazzy, more Burt Bacharach. The Beatles, that they have in common.

    T.... H....

    @Marcus Metternich Yeah it is. Also the name of my current songwriting project. But i love all kinds of music also. Thanks. :)

  64. D.... J....

    First ten seconds already almost made me tear up what the hell

  65. C.... E....

    te extrañé loco

  66. W.... _....

    So he really does only have that one good do do do do song, the rest of them are all like this? Kinda bland....

  67. K.... R....

    Dude, I’m never gonna stop listening to Andy Shauf.

  68. A.... R....

    This is very pleasant.

  69. A.... M....

    M'laria

  70. J.... H....

    Andy does it again! Huge talent, and we are so lucky to have him.

  71. D.... D....

    Wonderful. Why, why and another why. Do we have to wait until 2020??

    D.... D....

    PJ a little... in an English whisper..

  72. w.... ....

    Beautiful. Huge grins.

  73. D.... J....

    Album confirmed banger, although, we wouldn't have needed to hear any of the tracks before it's release to know that Andy would come through with the greatness

  74. C.... J....

    I like how Andy is always changing things up with each album. This song has a vibe unlike any of his others, and I love it! Been following him since 2014 before he signed to Anti-. Bearer of Bad News is still my favorite. :)

  75. P.... C....

    Andy needs to come to Mexico ASAP.
    Genuine talent, i love his music, i listen it everyday.

    Andy never disappoints with music or the videos

  86. I.... G....

    Exactly 2 years ago I've been at Andy's show in London and that was one of the best concerts I've ever attended. I love how delicate the clarinet sounds in this song.

  87. n.... o....

    Seeing you live in seattle!! Ive never been more excited!!

  88. J.... J....

    Hopefully there will be live clarinets during the live shows!

    J.... J....

    They had two last time in London

    J.... J....

    the Clarinets lines are soooo beautiful in his songs, this guy knows how to work with it

    J.... J....

    There usually are :)

  89. b.... s....

    Love the animation. And lyrics. Soy good ☺️.

  90. C.... J....

    7 seconds...all it took

  91. j.... ....

    Never knew I could enjoy clarinet so much! Then I started listening to Andy Shauf. Thanks for continuing to make wonderful music. I’m very excited for this album.

  92. H.... B....

    aaaand yet another perfect song from Andy Shauf. An absolutely brilliant artist.

  93. M.... C....

    Thank you for making music :-)

  94. S.... L....

    somewhere between drunkenness and chivalry, andy knows the knots to that bitter sweetness in our hearts

  95. J.... W....

    A.... S....

    Great job, keep it up! Beautiful music my friends!

    A.... S....

    Out on my birthday! Thanks for the wonderful present Andy :)

    A.... S....

    ​@Eald GraegWulf You made me spit on my keyboard you magnificent bastaard !
    I'm typing quickly before it dies, to say that the overly cautious archetype is really just comedy gold (it instanly summons to the mind a crazed fan turned sucide bomber).
    Just found out about Andy, and indeed theres potential aplenty, curious to see the album and to see him grow musically.

    A.... S....

    @SirZebra Jokes on you sir, that was just cover... Im actually camping in the alley behind his apt right now. (In the good way, not stalking him, just regular camping ... roasting marshmallows. sing alongs etc)
