      @@TheGoldenCapstone Even though I often write about music, often times I'm unable to put into words why I like a particular song. I just do. I think the melody somehow reminds me of some other melody from something I heard back in the 70s so it probably triggers some feeling of nostalgia in me. Even though I don't really know what the song is about, even after having watched Caleb explain it.

      I also have been listening to Kings of Leon for quite some time. They have been my favorite band for almost 17 years. I was 10 the first time I heard their music, “Charmer” on “Because Of The Times” and I never stoped. I am about to get their signature cherries as a tattoo and fun fact, “Kol” is a Viking style way to spell the name Cole. So if I ever have a son, his name will be Kol. My husband is 100% on board too. Its awesome.

    Sounds like Matt wasn't given much representation on this album, all this joking/ mocking, him not being told the title of the album because they knew he'd hate it- he certainly kicked back and refused to bring his 🔥 guitar solos 😜 Always nice to hear new KOL but unfortunately thought this album was a bit bland.

    Everything is there on this album for greatness but sadly the lyrics don't connect with the audience. Frustrating because it could easily have been one of their very best.
