What an elegant piece of music. It's impossible to not love this song. Fantastic bass. Great words. Oh Caleb, what a voice! Only KOL can pull this kind of thing off. I just wanna drown in it..
"What a night for a dance, you know I'm a dancing machine
With a fire in my bones and the sweet taste of kerosene
I get lost in the night so high ...I don't want to come down
To face the loss of the good thing that I've found."
These guys are simply amazing. KOL are capable of transcending so many music genres from the fifties Doo-Wop sound of Mary, to the sixties sound of Mollie's Chambers, to the Honkie-Tonk sound of Rodeo King, and all the way back to this song (Revelry) which could be compared to the seventies sound of the Eagles.
KOL are criticized by some for their changing sound, but I think it's more of a strength, and an example of their dynamic talent, instead of a weakness or a fault. JMHO.
This song is so indescribable...so melodic and beautiful beyond words....I stood right next to this guy in a newspaper shop in the nashville airport and didnt even know it was him until someone told me,,,,,,
Reasons why this song is phenomenal: Caleb's stunning voice and poignant lyrics and Jared's glorious bass line. Aaaaahhh so much beauty.
KOL has such a giant range when it comes to the styles they can play: from dirty, garage-y type stuff to ethereal, soulful songs like "Revelry." Honestly, all I can picture when I hear this song is driving in slow motion on the highway in green Washington state while rain beats down on the car--but not in a bad way...like it comes from God or a higher being...
At the idiot who says the song is gay, you're gay, it's gay because it's slow im guessing? in comparison to their old stuff especially, but doesn't make it shit!
By that note are you upset that they have found more fame and become more successful? Why not just be happy for them if you are such a fan? I'm sure you are but maybe you should just change your point of view.
hmm dude get a grip you are not the only one in the world who knew kings of leon before "Only By Night! as long as people love their music they keep making more and thats what matters! and one last thing - whats the fuck wrong with you main?!
i can't honestly think of one kings of leon song that is dislike. from youth and young manhood to only by the night. i've seen them live 3 times. there songs are powerful on the record, but live? _nothing short of perfection_
this song is great, but i was wondering what kind of sound matthew uses in the chorus, cause it sounds like he plays it in a lower tone, than he actually plays it?
omg i was wondering where the "ooo's" were coming from after the line "dream of the revelery", and their from nathan!! ahh amazing, didn't know he could sing like that hahah. more reason to love him i guess <3
I wondered exactly the same thing when my son and I were listening to this in the car last night. I said it sounded like they added women's voices - and he said it could be also electronic additions. Anyway, I love everything about this song.
Hey, coming from a drummer, that means a lot to me. I kept telling my son the same thing. I told him it's like the drummer has his own "lead parts". I know a good drummer is essential to any band, but it's mostly a subconscious thing - you're aware of it, but as part of the whole. This drummer is different. My favorite representation of this is in the song, "Fans".
Caleb's voice ALWAYS gives me chills, no matter how many times I listen to KOL .
they're such an amazing band ! -3
