Daniel Michael Andriano (born June 27, 1977) is an American singer, songwriter and musician best known has the co-lead vocalist and bassist of the punk rock band Alkaline Trio, with whom he has recorded eight studio albums.
Andriano also records solo material under the name, Dan Andriano in the Emergency Room, and has released two solo albums to date, Hurricane Season (2011) and Party Adjacent (2015).
In 1993 he and several friends from the Elgin area formed the punk-ska fusion band Slapstick, with Andriano playing bass and contributing backing vocals. He would remain a member through the release of two full-length albums (Lookit! and a self-titled compilation) until the group's breakup in 1996. After the breakup he and two other ex-members of Slapstick formed the band Tuesday, which released an EP, Early Summer, in 1997 and a full-length album, Freewheelin, later that year.
In late 1997 Andriano was asked by Matt Skiba to join the Alkaline Trio, replacing original bassist Rob Doran. His first release with the band was the 1998 EP For Your Lungs Only. The band has since released eight studio albums.
I'm looking out at this great big sky
And from this highway I'm supposed to be free
Is it so simple just like that cuz it's a shame that
where you're at
Isn't always where you really wanna be
I can be stuck way out here
And I can feel the exact same way
Yeah my heart keeps it's pace
And my coffee tastes the same
And I miss you more than I did yesterday
So tonight me and Denver are gonna sing
For all the broken hearts in late night bars that spill
out in the streets.
If you're tired and you're cold and you've got no place
to go,
I'll be praying that we all get home someday.
Here in the mountains it's starting to get cold
You can see it in the faces of the old
And the young alike, cuz they’re unhappy and they're
right
And I'm dying while my baby sleeps at home
And so tonight me and Denver are gonna sing
For all the broken hearts in late night bars that spill
out in the streets.
If you got no place to go, well I'll be praying so ya
know
that we all get what we're looking for someday.
If you're tired and you're cold and you've got no place
to go,
