  • Thought it was special unspoken without sound.

  • this is why I love kings of leon, they can capture how we have all felt.

  • kol jak sonic youth

  • ta piosenka jest o mnie

  • @izabela8588 ta piosenka jest o nas wszystkich. scislej o nas wszystkich ktorych cos boli i jest ''in the corner''. co nie zmienia faktu ze jest piekna i daje do myslenia. byle by nie do destruktywnego.. a latwo ja tak odczytac...

  • Really like this picture

  • @foleybhoy the world needs more people like you

  • hi guys !

    plz be so kind and check my cover of this song :)

    watch?v=esVyCSFvuUo

    am very thankful :)

  • try not to pay the bills, you'll never be alone :)

  • THE MOST INCREDIBLE ABOUT THIS SONG IS THAT THEY RECORDED JUST ONE TIME, AND THEY WERE  DRUNK !!!

  • @odla1709 NOT ALL, haha, just Caleb

  • @odla1709 And it came out the most heartbreaking and blunt song of our lives. One day, when I'm old and my grandchildren ask me what was the song of my life, I KNOW I'll show them this one.

  • @odla1709 Source?

  • @wildjackass2009 I WAS THERE, =)

  • @odla1709 only Caleb was drunk. he had only written the 1st verse and made up the rest as they recorded the song in one take!! the next day he didn't even remember recording it, but refused to re-record it, even though he said his vocals could have been better. he liked the rawness of the song. and i agree!!

  • Umm.. you screwed up lyrics there buddy.

  • 3:20 that guitar solo, blow my mind out of this world !!!!

  • i can relate to this song in many ways. mistakes are made by all. it is a part of being human. some may try to make you feel inferior at times, but they too are flawed and choose to judge you rather than help you. ignore those people and trust in your ability to divide and conquer. for life is much too beautiful to waste on being upset and caught up in your own head.

  • told me you love me, that i'd never die alone. hand over your heart, lets go home...

  • this is pretty much a stand alone song by thee guys huh?ive looked up their other songs and their good but none compare to this.

  • Why isn't this on spotify D:

  • There are 4 People that have no soul or have lived so far in a bubble protected from the harsh reality of the world. This song is raw, heartfelt and honest and anyone that has had suffering or any troubles in their life can definitely relate to it!

  • @AhaShakeHeartbreak21

    yea that's true...this song has soul...speaks mines out...o.o n oh how i wish things were just a little easier

  • cold desert , , ,again (literally)

  • this music is bad for me... makes me wanna get shit faced... i miss her so much...

  • @timmyghoul I know how you feel there man, she used me to make her ex jeolouse and now I'm in love with her and she's with him.

  • my only true...

  • Buenisima cancion

  • love this song.. special

  • Leeds Festival Sunday 30th August 2009 - Cold Desert was the last song of KOL set, it made all the hair stand up on the back of my neck. Absolutely electrifying, couldn`t have made a better finale. Awesome band, probably the best set i`ve been part of since U2`s Josua Tree tour back in 1987.

    Fantastic, long may they reign. They are the Kings for sure.

    Love & Life.

  • i never really liked kings of leon until i got with my girlfriend and she got me into listening to them and now they're one of my favorite bands.

  • its definately cold in the desert for those 4 ppl who clicked on the wrong hand thing >:|

  • The 4 dislikes are people who hit the wrong button.

  • i love this song so much i wish i could play it all day long and it amazing to smoke toooo.

  • good words foleybhoy

  • ♥♥ I never ever cried when I was feeling down

    I've always been scared of the sound

    Jesus don't love me, no one ever carried my load

    I'm too young to feel this old ♥♥

  • ♥♥ Here's to you, here's to me

    On to us, nobody knows

    Nobody sees, nobody but me ♥♥

  • most wonderful thing happen 2 me was with this song i loooooooove des song

  • true. deep bloody truth.

  • i hate annoying ppl who argue over youtube comments,

    specially when its a good song such as this one.

  • Perfection. This song says it all. <3

  • ogni volta che la sento mi vengono i brividi.....

  • @TheHotcariton

    nigga shut yo ass up. U a fuckn wana be. He haten kuz he a broke muthafucka like tha bums I see on tha street. LMAO get a life and stop tryna live sumone elses to be coo kuz u lookn hella dumb rite now.

  • This song ALWAYS reminds me of when I relapsed. I can feel the feelings, smell the smells, see the sights and hear the sounds, and it reminds me I never want to go back. Cold Desert is a very important song for me, and I love it.

  • Probably one of the best songs ive ever heard.. Gotta love the Kings

  • @RProc0421 agreed!

  • great song, but too bad they are doing this to themselves, by this i mean selling out especially that new song with all the kids, its almost too a charity event, i mean they were destined for it, nevertheless, theyre talented, time for a plane crash to consumate kings of leon as legends.

  • @TheHotcarlton

    You are a really nasty individual to wish death on someone just bc they are popular now and you feel that you're not above others anymore by liking their music. Oh god some people are really nasty

  • @tpauleti ill show you nasty ;), i can get pretty nasty after i listen to sell out shit like this........go listen to use somebody, or sex on fire. Plane crash:))) all the way

  • reminds me of the book of eli :)

  • @wolvez2 reminds me of a phase we probably all go through in our lives. that's why so many people love this song, because they can relate to it....

  • AMO este tema. cada ves que lo escucho, me traen muy buenos recuerdos, de una persona que quiero mucho y ya no lo veo mas :(

  • stay IRIE 

  • one of the best i ever heard, thanks for sharing mychowaty

  • Cried like a baby when I saw this live. Amazing band!!

  • dēm .. vēlos kaut šī dziema nebūtu sabojāta ar nepatīkamām sajūtām sirdī :/

  • This song should be in one of the Twilight movies. It would be perfect.

  • @CPD503 twilight is so gay ! wtf !

  • Comment removed

  • this songs amazing, when walking home after a night out

  • I can't help but leak tears everytime i hear this song...

  • nobody knows...nobody sees....nobody but me

  • most amazing voice i have ever heard!

  • i cry evertime i her this song!! classic!x

  • one of those songs that gets inside of ya, you feel coursing through your veins

  • the kings....

  • ever find yourself rewinding this song OVER AND OVER.......you must be lost....or looking for inspiration....MY GOD.....EUPHORIA can't come much closer

  • :( god damn

  • AWESOME CAMPING DRINKING SONG!!!!!!!!!! KOL

    makes everyone breakdown and smoke J

  • This song is so perfect.

  • No one better remix this song, It's perfect the way it is. Not only the message and soul behind this masterpiece (I know it's all emo but I like it), it's the ambient feel to it... some of us need to lurch so we can completely break free or die trying.

  • this is truly a deep song from him....his voice really comes out in this song yes his other songs are great to but you can feel his emotion in this song and thats what makes a good band and a ever greater singer....

  • ''I've always been known to cross lines'' awesome

  • My fav KOL song.

  • I think this is the best song on the album... it's so underrated. The melody is haunting, it lingers and sometimes that's how life seems... frozen it stands still when we see life flashing before out eyes... and our heart break. It reminds me of the poem "In the desert" by Stephen Crane. I can't explain it but this song is just as complex as that poem, and both of them are dysfunctional as the human mind can get. Truly the hidden gem of their album.

  • I love this song.

  • This is quickly becoming my favorite Kings of Leon song. I can listen to it all the time

  • Long Live Kings of Leon

  • ill be a long time i dont find a group in my first time listening then i like all song.i thing the last was U2,so long life to kings of leon

  • @07879832994 Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooo!!!!!!

  • dieser song erinnert mich mal wieder daran wie oft ich mich alleine fühle

  • you got some of the lyrics wrong hun.

    "special unspoken without sound"

    "hand over your heart lets go home"

    "everyone noticed it everyones had seen the signs"

  • wow!amazing song...good sound...bella bella!

  • I love the still picture for the video

  • I don't care, this song is perfection for me.

  • @ps3RocksXbox I agree with you, this is a great song. However Xbox owns PS3. HA!

  • he only wrote the first verus the rest was drunken ad lib

  • this song is how i have felt my entire life

  • you are never alone mate, there are always people out there who care, even if you dont know them. its just sometimes we think too much and it seems like we are lost. you have to learn how to stop yourself from getting caught up in your own mind. it can be hard but it gets easier with practice. memorise a thought that makes you feel good and remember it whenever you catch yourself drifting in to a slump. wake yourself up and keep in mind the good things that make you smile. peace and love friend

  • that just... wow. that hit me

  • @foleybhoy

    That is seriously the most inspirational thing Ive seen on youtube or anywhere. I can relate to it so much.

  • @Michaelridesabike how are you a year later my friend?

  • @foleybhoy I'm glad I saw this and re-read it. I'm good! Everything is starting to fall in to place and it's awesome.

  • @Michaelridesabike the world has enough hate. self tolerance can be a true attribute when attempted. it aint easy. but when we try to step up our game towards each other, no attempt can be seen as failure. each moment, each act!...carries the possibility of the triumph of LOVE over pain. if we can learn to remind ourselves of how much joy can be found in our actions and RE-actions to what happens around us each day. we can push people away or TRY to understand them! simple x

  • @foleybhoy Hey you reconise your self in others / That sounds like me. TuT ive still to learn love is in us all/

  • @foleybhoy

    nicely told

  • WHOA you got it buddy!! WHOA!!!!

  • @foleybhoy You are awesome!!!

  • @foleybhoy that has got to be one of the kindest comments on you tube i have read...big up to you pal, makes such a change reading thoughtful comments instead of all the nastyness ;-) and on the song front, man what a blinder could listen to it all day and sometimes have, lol...

  • @foleybhoy i wish i could take this advice as easily as i just liked it

  • @foleybhoy DUDE! That is it! Thankyou!!!!! You understand! I..I, I'm at a loss for words! That's EXACTLY the way I'm feeling right now like, just thankyou man. Thankyou SO MUCH for being another person who can truly find a solution to my problems. It really means a lot :) Cause today, I've been feeling a lot of positive energy around the place from the moment I woke up. And then I hear you say this! It's just perfect. It's just a perfect day :)

  • @blackasscrak13 how are you a year later my friend?

  • @foleybhoy It's time for a new life. Time for a new me. You friend, your the one that has finalized this decision within me.........How can I ever repay you? <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 And those are hearts guys, not balls and dicks! You sick fucks! lol

  • @foleybhoy beautiful mate

  • @foleybhoy awesome

  • @foleybhoy Fits perfectly with what I have in store for me at this very moment. Thanks for the wisdom

  • @foleybhoy Saved my life, thank you

  • this song reminds me of how lonely i do feel sometimes.

  • lyrics are amazing

  • It makes me miss HIM.....=(

  • Super

  • Heavenly sound and vocal.

    Can't ask for more.

    This is real music/rock - no doubt about it.

    I can feel my hearth against this number.

  • Beautifull, KOL knows how to do good music, not like some a bunch of bands around....

  • this really makes me look at KOL very differently.. but in a good way.. n after watching an interview with Caleb n how they he came up with the lyrics it makes me realize the power behind those Lyrics :)

  • agreed after watching the home video gives me alot more appreciation for this song

  • que som!!!!!!!!

  • super lit right now and im diggn this song :) lolz

  • beautiful.

  • Blackthumbnail is - "dont need no small man!"

    4 like the billionth time !!!>:(

  • well for the billionth time ur wrong, its 'dont leave no smell on me'. even though u can tell its that, also use ur common sense, why the fuck would he say ' dont need no small man' what the fuck is that ... hes speaking about sex .. i.e. dont leave ur sweat sex on me .. ' dont leave no smell on me'

  • It is dont leave no smell on me, I have the album and it says that on the lyrics sheet and if you listen carfully you cant understand alot of the words Caleb Followill sings but those are loud and clear, and Id apreciate it if you wouldnt talk about that song no matter how good it is and would marvel or on such a personal and beautiful song like cold Desert instead of trying to pick a fight...ALL OF YOU

  • Thumbs up to Mychowaty !!! :)

  • Thank you for uploading this!

  • i saw kol in hamilton and the end of this song and trani were the highlights of the night

  • i love this song it is awsome....lol

  • such a meaningful song i really hope they go to dubai!!!!!!

  • Did he tell you that? Personally?

    Because in an interview, he was talking about how he looked some of their stuff up on youtube, because being up on stage as they're walking off he always feels like he messed up and everyone is going to notice, and then he said when he saw on youtube everyone sings along so they don't even notice.

    So, really now? Are you sure it's not just you who hates when people sing along?

  • Yeahhhh cooooool idiot. That made no sense. You are asking me if he told me this personally, and he didn't even tell you personally. Hmmmm let's see go waste your time actually doing something.

  • Nice name calling. Really, enjoyed that a lot.

    And you're right, my comment had nothing to do with what you said but do you have proof he hates it? Can you find a video of him speaking about hating others singing along?

    If Caleb hates people singing along so much, why does he tell people to at their concerts?

  • BURN!

  • Fucking great song.

    KOL is coming to DUBAIIIII!!!

  • when he said "im to young to feel this old" it like hit me and i was like woooooaahh

  • I just saw them yesterday and this song is my favorite; everyone sang along and it was just amazing.

  • "I'm on a corner, waitin for a light to come on, thats when I know that your alone" BRILLIANT and haunting. wow

  • Haunting is definately the right word to explain this song! wow

  • POW.. ER.. FUL

    wow I guess it's true the best stuff just kinda flows out unexpectedly.

  • I hope they'll make a blues version of this song for the next album. Or B-side. Gonna be awesome.

  • yep, nearly all improvised, and he was drunk aswell! Some people fall over, some get emotional, some get violent. Seemingly, Caleb gets creative. Amazing.

  • I only just got in to the Kings of Leon in Aug. to be exact...lol Lollapalooza, saw them live, feel absoultly in love with their sound, i thought for sure it was pre-recorded, then i talk with the stangehand crew the next day and he said "They would never" I now know all of their songs..in just a short space of time, i blast nothing but KOL now..

  • Best KOL song.

  • "special ones walk on without sound" -

    I'm pretty sure it's: Special unspoken wihout sound. ^^ Might be wrong though

  • i think iyour correct when u said"special upspoken without a sound" beautiful lyric

  • Why don`t write in google Kings of Leon Cold Desert lyrics???

  • because google is full of shit, i.e ... it said the lyrics in the chorus for black thumbnail where ' dont need so slow man' what the fuck .. 'dont leave no smell on me ' is however correct :)

  • special love spoken without a sound ...

  • This Song Is Amaizing!!

  • rhytmdrummer - just replien back to you . yep this song was all on the spot he will never ever go and pre record this song . he was drunk singing this song and it was all free flowing .. he will never pre record it as he will never have the passion in his voice as what he does in this . super song and super band . if this is what he can do free flowing hell i would love to see what he can do giving a pen and paper and time,and yes appreciate the song bcause nt many bands can do this what he did

  • ur all bent

  • HOW IS THIS SONG NOT HUGE, OR ON THE RADIO OR ANYTHING?? best song ever.

  • did u know he made this all up on the spot no lyrics writen out like maybe one verse thts it

  • Caleb and the Kings can do no wrong for me. This is absolutely brilliant, especially love the way it fades at the end then comes higher again - superb!!

  • 4:39 nobody but me sounds like that part from use somebody "some1 like u"... anyway realy nice song

  • wow nice picture in the vid, where did u get it? i love the song, the tune is so great and caleb's voice just makes it so perfect, it fits perfectly to it

  • "Jesus don't love me, no one ever carried my load

    I'm too young to feel this old"

    I feel that way alot...

  • i think caleb and the rest of the band would appreciate it much more if people connected with this song and had a certain degree of understandment of where he is coming from within his lyrics, instead of singin your heart out to bloody sex on fire ... sing your heart out to this !

  • totally agree

  • @lfc185times yh this is better than sex on fire haha well better this is class

  • @lfc185times I wish I had any kind of decent voice...because I would sing this song for sure.
