Pickup Truck- Kings of Leon
Kings of Leon is such an underrated group. They deserve much more notoriety than they receive. KOL is a band consisting of 3 brothers and a cousin from Nashville, TN. They’re an Alternative/Indie group, that blends Southern rock, garage rock, and blues altogether to make the perfect loud, rhythmic sound with endearing lyrics. Pickup Truck is one of my favorite songs from their album, Come Around Sundown. I listened to this album an incessant number of times, to the point I got tired of listening. The sound is full of solo/rhythm guitar with drums that takes you on this up-and-down journey.
This song takes
me back to my 2nd year of college when everything was still new. I
hear this and I think back to my undergrad days of being up the late-night studying
and walking back to my apartment. It was during the late Fall season so there
was always a nice breeze. I would imagine camping out in a dark somewhere with crackling
woods going white. The lyrics are sharp but full of sorrow and regret. It’s
about two men fighting over the same person. One of them getting molly whopped
for making fun of the other guy’s truck. All in the name of love.
