Kings of Leon- Closer
i think i’m a bit late to the party because i just found out about these guys. i’d heard of them, but i hadn’t heard any of their music. i listened to this for the first time (i think. if i’d heard any of their other songs, i didn’t know it.) because it was on a television show i was watching. i liked it and decided to see who made it. i think i broke out my trusty iphone and used shazam (i’m gonna get a billion dollars for saying that) to discover who it was. what do you know, ‘closer’ by kings of leon. so, i hopped on youtube to listen to the whole song. awesome. i kinda like finding things like that. you do something you like and stumble upon something else you like. it feels so organic. check it out (although i think i may be one one the few people who hadn’t heard it until a few weeks ago) and see what you think.
Stranded in this spooky town
Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down
This floor is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun
Driven by the strangled vein
Showing no mercy I do it again
Open up your eye
You keep on crying, baby
I’ll bleed you dry
The skies are blinking at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And it’s coming closer
And it’s coming closer
You, shimmy shook my bone
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
What do you think of me
Where am I now? Baby where do I sleep
Feel so good but I’m old,
2000 years of chasing taking its toll
And it’s coming closer
