Dan Mangan is back with an intimate new song, “In Your Corner (for Scott Hutchison)”.

Produced by Drew Brown, the track is a direct response to Frightened Rabbit’s “The Woodpile.” Dedicated to the band’s late songwriter, “Scott Hutchison,” the track is poignant and emotive. Lyrically, Dan Mangan delivers lines like, “Leave a light on when it’s bad/ We will congregate and make a plan/ We’ll be in your corner.”

“We’d only met once but Scott’s passing eviscerated me,” Dan Mangan explains. “He was my age and very close with several dear friends of mine. Either he couldn’t see how deeply he was loved by the world, or he didn’t feel worthy of it. How come he could bring joy to so many people but not to himself? I remember weeping as I poured cereal for my boys that morning. This song came very quickly in the days that followed.”
