[Spoken: Dan Reynolds]
Okay, let’s try it
A very happy song
That’s happy
[Verse 1: Dan Reynolds]
People-pleasin' planet
Got a million people sayin' how to plan it
I can no longer stand it
Gonna spend my days tellin' them to can it
Each and to their own
I got a salesman ringin' my phone
Now tell me where to go
No, I don't wanna hear the down low
[Pre-Chorus: Dan Reynolds]
I owe, oh-oh-oh
Nothin', not a penny, never wanna hear you preach
No, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon, Crowd]
Tay-ay-ay-ay take me to the beach (Ah-ah-ah)
You could have the mountains (Ah-ah-ah)
You take the snow (Ah-ah-ah)
It’s way too cold
My heart is cold enough (Ah-ah-ah)
Push comes to shove (Ah-ah-ah)
You could have the mountains (Ah-ah-ah)
I'll take the beach
Nice (Uh-huh)
[Verse 2: Dan Reynolds]
If you- if you want it, come and get it
I got a million people sayin’ that they're with it
And they got me at my limit
And I’ll tell you that I never spare a minute
If you wanna keep on livin'
With a sucker who is tellin' you your limit
Gotta find out it's a gimmick
Can't nobody tell you how to live it
[Pre-Chorus: Dan Reynolds]
I owe, oh-oh-oh
Nothin', not a penny, never walkin' on a leash
No, oh-oh-oh
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds, Crowd]
Tay-ay-ay-ay take me to the beach (Ah-ah-ah)
You could have the mountains (Ah-ah-ah)
You take the snow (Ah-ah-ah)
It’s way too cold
My heart is cold enough (Ah-ah-ah)
Push comes to shove (Ah-ah-ah)
You could have the mountains (Ah-ah-ah)
I'll take the beach
C’mon Wayne
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge: Dan Reynolds]
I'm better off alone
Like a rollin' stone
Turnin' off my phone
There’s no one bringin' me down, down, down, down
Just give me some space
That sun in my face
And the days go on, and on, and on, and on
[Chorus: Dan Reynolds, Crowd]
T-A-K-E, take me to the beach (Ah-ah-ah)
You could have the mountains (Ah-ah-ah)
You take the snow (Ah-ah-ah)
It’s way too cold
My heart is cold enough (Ah-ah-ah)
Push comes to shove (Ah-ah-ah)
You could have the mountains (Ah-ah-ah)
I'll take the beach
[Outro: Dan Reynolds & Wayne Sermon]
‘Cause I don't have no friends, ask anyone
I’ve got me 'til the end, my favorite one
No, I don't have no friends, ask anyone
I’ve got me 'til the end, my favorite one
Take me to the beach
[Spoken: Dan Reynolds, Wayne Sermon]
I just wanna say that the end of that song says “I don’t have- I don’t have no friends, ask anyone”
How’s that happy?
Does that sound happy to you?
That’s the outro of the song, is that happy?
Uh, depends on the friend, y’know?
What do you mean by that
Some friends aren’t worth having
Are no friends worth having? (Uh)
You’re my friend, right? (Yeah)
So you should’ve told me I should’ve said “I don’t have no friends, ask anyone”
And you’re like “But I’m here”
No, no, I never tell you what to write
That’s a hard- (But that way)
We should go back and re-record the song
It should go “I don’t have no friends, except one friend” (Except me)
Yeah, you go “me” (Wee)
That would be cute, that would be cute
Okay, sorry, anyway
We got one more song for you this evening
What a- what a beautiful night
Thank you for being here
Thank you for- we’re also going to answer some questions too
So this isn’t the end, but
I just wanna say, truly
We’ve said this for a long time
We have now spent- really a decade of our lives with the French people
We have felt welcomed from day one
You guys have treated us like family
You have shared so many memories with us, sang with us, let us eat your incredible food
We truly have found a home away from home here
So many memories
Playing at the- what’s the castle, the beautiful castle
[?] Thank you
It’s just- it’s exceeded anything we could’ve ever hoped
If you would’ve told eleven-year-old Dan that he’d be in France one day, playing in front of a castle
I just- it’s such a gift to us
I hope you know how grateful we are
We always hope to do you right
Hope to bring you some joy
Bring you a cry on a night that you need it
Bring you a little pep in your step when you’re looking to work out in the morning, you need a helping hand
Anything, just to feel something, that’s always our goal, so
Thank you for allowing us to be such a part of your lives
And uh- we are announcing actual tour dates in France very soon
Within the year, so
We’ll be here playing, playing some real shows
And if you wanna just know when it is, and you wanna just know early
You should just ask our manager, this guy with the hat, right there (Literally right there)
Yeah, he’s saying no, but that means ‘yes’ in-
Unironically wearing an ‘Enemy’ hat
Oh yeah, he’s wearing a ‘Enemy’ hat
What are you trying to tell everybody?
But yeah, you could just ask him, I’m sure he would tell you like, a secret of when the tour date is, yeah
Just give him a back massage, y’know
He likes to be pinched
Everyone just keep looking at him for about five more seconds and we’ll start (He likes pinches)
Just embarrass him a little more
Anyway, we love you, thank you so much
Merci, merci beaucoup
