Love, hope and misery es el tercer corte y tercer single promocional, del también tercer álbum de estudio de Jake Bugg, On my one (2016).
"Quería que tuviese un estribillo pop épico porque es algo que no había hecho antes. Algo del estilo de Harry Nilsson o Bill Withers", dice Jake. "Lo mejor es que logramos que participase en el disco el batería de Bill Withers, James Gadson. Es mi batería preferido así que para mi ha sido un hito personal".
La canción cuenta con un videoclip dirigido por Michael Holyk, estrenado el 16 de mayo de 2016.
Letra
[Verse 1]
Crying for the one who doesn't love you
All you feel is the pain
You don't know why he doesn't want you
He hasn't called for days
[Pre-Chorus]
So dry those eyes and don't be afraid
Cause the rhythm of lovers ain't the same
No you don't know it don't come easy
Come easy
[Chorus]
They say it comes in threes; love, hope and misery
I'm the first to have gone and tell me if I'm wrong
I hope that I am and you don't hate me
Don't be mad, I'm just a man
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
And I know, and I know that you must hate me
[Verse 2]
Holding back the reasons not to love you
Try to find the way
But when you're feeling down and lonely
It makes it hard to say
[Pre-Chorus]
So dry those eyes and don't be afraid
Cause the rhythm of lovers ain't the same
No you don't know it don't come easy
Come easy
[Chorus]
They say it comes in threes; love, hope and misery
I'm the first to have gone and tell me if I'm wrong
I hope that I am and you don't hate me
Don't be mad, I'm just a man
And I know, and I know, and I know that you must hate me
[Bridge]
As I think about the only way that you know to love
No, this feeling can't be right if it don't mean much
No, this feeling ain't right if it don't mean much
I can't be here for you
No, I can't live a lie, woman, that you must know
And this feeling can't be right if it moves so slow
No, this feeling ain't right if it moves so slow
I can't be here with you
[Chorus]
They say it comes in threes; love, hope and misery
I'm the first to have gone and tell me if I'm wrong
I hope that I am and you don't hate me
Don't be mad, I'm just a man
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
And I know, and I know that you must hate me
