Footage from the recording sessions of Robert's second album Disarm & Let Go. Most of the backing tracks and overdubs were recorded in June and through the summer of 2007 at Ocean Sound Recordings, Giske, while Lise recorded her violin in her living room back home in Oslo. The song was mixed in March 2008.
The song was originally thought to be the first single from the album, but was later decided to be a free download second single in connection with Robert opening for Jason Mraz on two nights in Scandinavia in June 2009. Try The Best You Can is song number two on the album that was released on August 24, 2009.
LYRICS:
Old flowers in the bin
It's been months since he brought them in
My sister came home with a smile
Danger was never there
It seemed like they would never dare
Breaking out of this relationship
He can sleep on the old mattress
And never feel quite at home
And it's a though one to understand
And she's a though one to comprehend
At least when it comes to boys and men
So you just have to try the best you can
She doesn't waste her time on a man
So you just have to try the best you can
I cannot tell if it was beautiful or not
You never know these days
I have seen love been bought and sold the same day
It's not a tragedy to me
He can sleep on the old mattress
And never feel quite at home
And it's a though one to understand
And she's a though one to comprehend
At least when it comes to boys and men
So you just have to try the best you can
She doesn't waste her time on a man
So you just have to try the best you can
