Band Of Horses
Band of Horses, previously known as Horses, is an American indie rock band formed in 2004 in Seattle by Ben Bridwell and Mat Brooke. Joe Arnone joined the band in February 2006. They are currently signed to Sub Pop Records. The band often draws comparisons to My Morning Jacket, largely due to the vocal similarities between Bridwell and My Morning Jacket lead singer Jim James, the occasional Southern rock tendencies that the two groups have in common,[citation needed] and a penchant for glimmering reverb.[citation needed] Allmusic has compared Bridwell’s vocals to early Neil Young and Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips. In 2009, Ludwig Böss (a member of the Swedish band Ray Wonder) joined the band. More…
The Song
Lyrics
I’m coming up only to hold you under
I’m coming up only to show you wrong
And to know you is hard and we wonder
To know you all wrong, we were
Really too late to call, so we wait for
Morning to wake you; it’s all we got
To know me as hardly golden
Is to know me all wrong, they were
At every occasion I’ll be ready for a funeral
At every occasion once more is called a funeral
Every occasion I’m ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral
I’m coming up only to show you down for
I’m coming up only to show you wrong
To the outside, the dead leaves, they all blow (alive is very poetic)
For’e (before) they died had trees to hang their hope
At every occasion I’ll be ready for the funeral
At every occasion once more is called the funeral
At every occasion I’m ready for the funeral
At every occasion one brilliant day funeral
