Kings of Leon


3 brothers and a close cousin. Put them together and what do you get? Kings of Leon. Isn't it nice? You don't see family bands often and this band is incredible. Over the years, I've heard of KOL, but I never really got around to listening to their music. I wasn't really attracted to their name. Kings of Leon sounded like a metal band in my opinion.

On the radio (which I listen to quite frequently), their newest single, "Sex on Fire" off their album, Only by the Night, was playing. The first time I heard it, I was indifferent to it, but after consecutive days of listening to it at around the same time, I've got to say, I've come to love it.

When I got home, I searched for their video on YouTube and was instantly drawn to it. I was curious, trying to read into the band's meaning for the song. There can be many interpretations, but I'll assume it's about the longing for heated passionate sex. :X

After the video finished, I saw their video for "Use Somebody" which is also on the album. It was amazing. Caleb's voice is so penetrating. I can't stop being drawn to it. In the second verse of the song when he says "I could use somebody", the "use" always gets me.

Ah...I'm in love.
