Kings of Leon – Revelry

If you’ve not noticed by now, I’m going through a Kings of Leon phase. After the amazing show they put on a few weeks ago and their great CD “Only By The Night” it’s hard not to love their music. This album has been spinning in my iPod for what seems like months now. Highly recommend it.

Regardless, this song speaks about a guy who met a great girl, but he was not done with his partying ways and through it all he still thinks of her all the time. Good stuff!

What a night for a dance
You know I’m a dancing machine.
With the fire in my bones
And the sweet taste of kerosene.
I get lost in the night
So high I don’t wanna come down.
To face the loss
Of the good thing that I have found.

Woo hoo hoooo
Woo hoo hoooo

In the dark of the night
I can hear you calling my name.
With the hardest of hearts
I still feel full of pain.
So I drink and I smoke
And I ask If you’re ever around.
Even though it was me
Who drove us right in the ground.

See the time we shared
It was precious to me
But all the while
I was dreaming of revelry.

Gonna run baby run
Like a stream down a mountainside.
With the wind in my back
I wont ever even bat an eye.
Just know it was you all along
That had a hold of my heart
But the demon and me
Were the best of friends from the start.

So the time we shared it
Was precious to me
All the while
I was dreaming of revelry.

Dreaming of revelry.

And I told myself,
Oh the way you go.
It rained so hard,
It felt like snow.
Everything came tumbling down on me.
In the back of the woods,
It was dark as night
Palest pale,
Of the old moonlight
Everything just felt so incomplete.

Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry

Blue October Dirt Room Video

While I was in Dallas I heard a song I didn’t recognize, but I was sure it was Blue October. After some online searching, it turns out that it’s the first single called Dirt Room from their upcoming album. I highly recommend you check out the video, it’s pretty good and the end is good. You can check out here.

On a side note, I truly hope that Blue October gets the popularity it deserves. They are popular, but not as popular as I think they should be. Outside of Texas you rarely hear their stuff. Perhaps the fact that their lyrics are usually pretty dark is preventing them from turning to mega stars… so if that’s the case then I hope that doesn’t happen.

Boy Kill Boy – Shoot Me Down

Personally, the lead singer of BKB sounds just like Chris Martin from Coldplay and I dig that. Both have great voices. While the lyrics aren’t great, the melody/harmony are. Enjoy this little known song.

It’s hard to say how I fit in the line
I lost my way lost my way my own mind
You should have left should have left on time
Its no mistake no mistake of mine

Shoot me down
When I hate to see you drown
I didn’t do didn’t do didn’t do
I didn’t do this for you
Didn’t say didn’t say didn’t say
I didn’t say this was too good
Didn’t do didn’t do didn’t do
I Didn’t do this for you
Didn’t say didn’t say

You never knew never knew never knew
You never should never should never should
I needed someone, someone to be here always
When the suns down, someone to pick up pieces

Shoot me down when I hate to see you drown
I didn’t do didn’t do didn’t do
I didn’t do this for you
Didn’t say didn’t say didn’t say
I didn’t say this was too good
Didn’t do didn’t do didn’t do
Didn’t do this for you

Now shoot me down when I hate to see you drown

Its hard to say how I feel in this life
I lost my way lost my way my own mind
