“Found” was the #1 selling Canadian country song in Canada for several weeks in July and August 2016. It had also #16 on the charts and was the 8th highest charting Canadian song in the country. The hit single also went top 50 on the Shazam charts across all formats and hit #15 on the iTunes sales charts.
The future is bright for Davidson. In only 2 years of being involved in the country music scene, his name can be seen on the charts next to some of the top artists in North America – and he has found a way to do it 100% independently. Dan is new to the country scene, but is far from “green” in the music industry. He spent 10 years playing in the well-known Canadian indie rock band Tupelo Honey (who had several top 40 hits, top selling iTunes records and toured with bands like Bon Jovi). On the advice of a couple of long time friends (who happen to be top selling Canadian country artists), Dan decided to start focusing on his new country project.
Dan’s sound came together as he started writing and working on music with Toronto producer Jeff Dalziel (Washboard Union, Andrew Hyatt, Autumn Hill, Brett Kissel) and the two spent the better part of a year developing an EP that’s characteristic of Dan’s love of “good time” music.
You can catch Dan sharing the stage in 2016/2017 with artists like John Pardi, Brett Kissel, The Washboard Union, Kira Isabella, Beverly Mahood, George Canyon and many more!
Can't Help Myself
Dan Davidson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’d get all messed up on you
Get a real bad tattoo
I know it’s gunna hurt
But it’s gunna be worth it
If love was dollar and dimes
I’d spend it all on your time
I don’t care if I’m broke
As long you know that
I’m all in
All my cards down on the table
Gunna love you till I aint able
I can’t help myself
Sink or swim
Every kiss you pull me deeper
The more I get the more I need ya
I can’t help myself
Oh
I can’t help myself
If love was a country song
I’d probably get the words all wrong
I’d sing it till my voice was gone
As long as your laughing
I’m cool with that
So I cross my heart no faking
Here’s a promise I ain’t breaking baby
I’m all in
All my cards down on the table
Gunna love you till I ain’t able
I can’t help myself
Sink or swim
Every kiss you pull me deeper
The more I get the more I need ya
I can’t help myself
Oh
I can’t help myself
I’m all in
All my cards down on the table
Gunna love you till I ain’t able
I can’t help myself
Sink or swim
Every kiss you pull me deeper
The more I get the more I need ya
I can’t help myself
Oh
I can’t help myself
In these lyrics, the singer is expressing their deep love and uncontrollable attraction towards someone. They start by comparing the intensity of their love to a strong alcoholic drink, implying that they would willingly lose themselves in this person. They acknowledge that this love may come with pain, but believe that the resulting happiness and fulfillment will make it all worthwhile.
The lyrics continue by suggesting that if love were represented by money, the singer would spend all their resources on spending time with this person. They emphasize that they don't care about the financial consequences as long as they can be with their loved one. This highlights their willingness to sacrifice material possessions for love.
The chorus further emphasizes the singer's complete commitment to this relationship. They declare that they are fully invested and have put all their cards on the table. They express their determination to love this person unconditionally, even if it means pushing themselves to their limits. They also emphasize that every kiss from their loved one deepens their attachment and increases their need for them, highlighting the addictive and consuming nature of their love.
The second verse mentions that if love were a country song, the singer would struggle to find the right words but would continue singing it until their voice gave out, as long as their loved one was happy. This demonstrates their willingness to put the other person's happiness above their own and their determination to make them smile.
Overall, these lyrics depict a love that is all-encompassing and overpowering. The singer is willing to give their all and make sacrifices for the person they love, regardless of the potential pain or financial consequences. Their love is portrayed as a force they cannot control, and they are helplessly drawn to this person, unable to resist their allure.
