Текст песни Mr. Lonely - Commentary - Midland

Hey, we're Midland
You're listening to our album release
Special for Let It Roll on Big Machine Radio

We're talking to Midland today about their new album Let It Roll
Which is available now, and we have talked a lot about "Mr. Lonely
" Which of course was the first song you released off of this album
But I remember talking to you guys one time about the characters in
Your songs, and you said really, most of them are just some sort of
A combination of the three of us. And so I'm wondering with "Mr
Lonely," talk to me about the idea for writing this song and is there
A part of each of you that maybe you identify within "Mr. Lonely?"

That song was one of a handful of songs that we had written together

With Shane and Josh on their trip out to Texas. I remember coming

Into the room and Josh and Jess were pretty deep into the idea of

A song called "Mr. Lonely" and the cadence that was being played

Was already there, you know, those three chords pretty much, and it

Was fun and it came quickly because we were talking about something

That was a little more flippant than "Put The Hurt On Me" or "

Playboys," which is a lot more emotional and kind of deeper and

Complex, and this was more of a story about a guy. Personally, I've
Never been the guy that anybody looked at and goes, "Well, I better
Be good to my girl or else that guy's gonna grab 'em," so, you know
I'd be lying to you if I told you I was, but there are people like
That in the world. Not that that should be a real reason to treat any
Woman well; you should just inherently want to do that, but it's a
Fun story. It's like "The Fireman," a George Strait
Song that we had been trying to chase for quite some
Time, and it's got kind of like a boot-scootin' boogie
Brooks & Dunn, uptempo, really nice honky-tonk feel

Well, I know any time I've ever been in like a bar or a club
And this song comes on, people instantly just start moving
So I think you have accomplished your mission. This is "Mr
Lonely" off Midland's new album Let It Roll, which is available now
