Chilling in the library, I was listening to whatever was in my iPod. Believe me when I say that I hardly pay attention to what's playing. I just put albums on there and see where it takes me during the day. So it was raining outside. No, wait, it was pouring. Sitting in one of the small couch benches, listening to the big drops of water hit the bottom of the window seal, while preparing to read New Moon, I heard it. I've loved Kings of Leon ever since last year and gosh, I feel like every year I find a band that just sticks for good, while others fade either because they can't keep me entertained or I realize their lack of amazingness. Anyways, I've had their album ever since it came out and truth be told, I've only listened to "Use Somebody" and "Sex on Fire". Today, I found my third fave: "Closer". Mm. It's good.
Kind of sad they don't have a MV for this.

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.
