I'm here because I was driving to Mittagong, (in Australia) and I heard this on the radio, (never heard it before0 rang the radio station and .. they didn't answer. So typing in to Google " SONG WITH WORDS INCLUDING - after Paris - drinking lemonade - don't stop believing.. ..easy tonight. I can't remember the rest. I found the song. Here it is. I Love it ! I. LOVE. IT! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@bratassly1318]

This song makes me want to fall in love with my best friend and go on a road trip in a big red pickup truck and drive on a completely empty road in the middle of a dessert somewhere screaming this song at the top of our lungs with the wind blowing in our hair Oddly specific, I know. But that’s the feeling I get, yet I’ve never experienced this feeling.

[@jamesprice2163]

I can relate it makes me invision cruising down the coastline highway in a 1986 monte carlo with my dream girl cuddling against my arm as the symphony of the v8 and this song plays in my ears that sounds like heaven to me Edit : got my dream girl next step is saving up for my dream car

[@blackmane0073]

This song has haunted me for ages. Every time I hear it driving down the road, I get transported away to somewhere pleasant and the miles just slide by. It always plays on the radio and for years I couldn't find it. Finally I know which song it is and can thank the boys for playing such a good song. Cheers :)

[@evasoloveva175]

'Le symbolique' is definitely not getting enough hype guys.. The transition from that to Let Me Down Easy was one of the best things that's ever happened to me, like it was absolutely IMMACULATE - if you haven't listened to the entire album yet you HAVE to check it out, trust me.

[@davidrobertson4301]

I look up the song that beat him and it sounded like a cartoon chicken going nnn-na na in high pitched rapidfire was devoid of melody. I don't think Triple J bother trying to stop one or two Fanatics from voting a couple of thousand times.... They had a small group of individuals that will determine to vote for "Love Will Tear Us Apart" early on and the level of the song I didn't feel that needed to be voted in every time and ring up and suggested that they take it out of the running

You want someone who wants you for who you are I want someone to try, then let me down easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Honey, it’s no secret that with matters of the heart Unreserved, I’m irrational and rarely ever start But since the world’s dark and often inhumane Relish our condition, come drinking in the rain ‘Cause you remember when, after Paris We all decided the best way to fight it was Drink wine, dance here and pray And make love that lasts with avengeance So you can join the cowards all aboard the outrage train You can stay afraid, or slit the throat of fear and be brave And scratch the little itch 'Til you’re moving like a motherfucker up in this bitch You wanted to fight for a cause Then go out and fall in love Don’t stop, don’t stop believing In truth and grace in the grievance You want someone who wants you for who you are I want someone to try, or let me down easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight So look at me and tell me what I already know That I trialed and I failed and it’s good to let it go Sometimes life sucks, everything is lame Not everything’s as easy as making lemonade And so dismembering our state of balance With lust requited, a gaze undivided With a cool mind and warmth in your face A good heart, a grace under pressure You give me a good reason to be heartsick again To be here, to be strong, to be oddly and boldly estranged From the loss and bitter years I found myself descending into tedium and fear You wanted to fight for a cause Then go out and fall in love Don’t stop, don’t stop believing In truth and grace in the grievance You want someone who wants you for who you are I want someone to try, then let me down easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight If it’s late, you’re drunk and wanting A reason, some reason to live I always, I always say Just put on some Whitesnake Honey, it’s no secret that I’ve been losing my way In the weirdest of moments and the stupidest of ways But hey, I’m still young and it’s gonna be okay I got solipsism, baby, and I brought lemonade I’ll surrender then, all my balance And be excited and drink to tonight It’s not a, a bad time, time spent with you There’s cool lights and songs with good lyrics We never have to talk again, whatever, up to you But since you’re putting up with me Here’s another toast just to you Let’s dance, off the beat Then mosey out together and say goodbye on the street You wanted to fight for a cause Then go out and love someone Don’t stop, don’t stop believing In truth and personal freedom I want someone to want me for who I am I want someone to try, or let me down easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight Easy, easy tonight
