Hangin’Bastille

Released: September 22, 2015

Songwriter: Dan Smith

Producer: Mark Crew Dan Smith

[Verse 1]
Hindsight's a wonderful thing
When we're all experts who pretend
Where's a good place to begin
Let's start with the truth
‘Cause it gets you in the end
Hangin' the past out to dry
Stringing up, all of your regrets
No matter how hard you try
They blow round in the breeze
Through the branches in your hair, but

[Pre-Chorus]
Still through the leaves
The wind keeps blowing, so

[Chorus]
Don't leave me hangin'
I'm coming for you, I'm coming for you
Don't leave me hangin'
I'm coming for you, I'm coming for you
Oh, it's coming for you
Oh, it's coming for you

[Verse 2]
Hindsight's an unhelpful friend
Who's waiting there at the end
He catches you unaware
With "I told you so"
And the spirit of the stairs
Now that it all seems so clear
You can end the lies from now on here
Those bits you'd rather forget
Cut them down, cut them down
And lay them all to rest, cus'

[Pre-Chorus]
Still through those leaves
The wind keeps blowing, so

[Chorus]
Don't leave me hangin'
I'm coming for you, I'm coming for you
Don't leave me hangin'
I'm coming for you, I'm coming for you
Oh, it's coming for you
Oh, it's coming for you

[Bridge]
Just leave me hangin' in the breeze if it makes you feel better
'Cause still through the leaves the wind keeps blowing
I could just turn the other cheek if it makes you feel better
Cause still through the leaves the wind keeps blowing, but
Don't leave me hangin'
I'm coming for you, I'm coming for you

[Chorus]
Don't leave me hangin'
I'm coming for you, I'm coming for you
Don't leave me hangin'
I'm coming for you, I'm coming for you
Oh, it's coming for you
Oh, it's coming for you

[End]
Don't leave me hangin'
I'm coming for you, I'm coming for you
Don't leave me hangin'
I'm coming for you, I'm coming for you

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
