Kings of Leon - Closer

[deegreen59]

Still love this song...bloody brilliant! x

[TheUnshamedMovement]

Btw, KOL aren't the only bands that speak on the End of the world/Great Tribulation/Antichrist. 30 Seconds to mars, MGMT (surprising but read the lyrics closely), Florence + the Machine, Radiohead.

I hope you guys come to see the truth and light and turn away from the sins of the world and give your life to Christ.

[TheUnshamedMovement]

This song is making a reference to the end times and the incoming New World Order under Satan. This is why he says "2000 years of chasing has taking its toll" and "I see a storm bubbling from the sea". Jesus died for the sins of humanity 2000 years ago and His Second Coming is very soon.

I don't listen to KOL anymore since i've been saved by Jesus but I'd thought come back here and tell you the meaning of the songs. The song "Crawl" has the same story too.

[UkrainianFishie]

Do you think of me?

Where am I now,

Baby, where do I sleep...(c)

[123razzel]

Peter forsberg sent me here

[oneDrFAB]

favourite kings of leon song!

[gmj2012]

I fell in love with this band to this song on a True Blood closing credits from season 4 I think, then looked them up & bought all their albums. I'm really addicted BAD, especially this song & Crawl is the other, I can play them repeatedly without ever even imagining getting tired of hearing them. Don't want the cure either, lol. Wow.

[newo82]

With the moon i run, far from the carnage of the fiery sun, has to be one of the best lines i have heard in a song.

[Gaurdbox]

Fantastic Song, it really helps.

[CatSpirito]

fucking amazing song!

[banaan358]

haha, 1:24 till 1:27 you see the guy doing his victory dance-.-

[MsAKSfan]

[MsBrowniesRule]

Hairy men are Sexy. But the power of haircuts = Sexier!

[gmj2012]

I found these guys through a True Blood end credits song, I'd not heard of them before then! I'm trying to make up for lost time now, lol. This is the song from TB that got me hooked on them, dark as hell, awesome as heaven if one or the other existed, the true sign of talent is their diverse music styles & the passion with which they do music. If you don't get goosebumps, check your pulse, you may be dead.

[bcbcbcbcdc]

sounds like satriani

[HumanoidZimmer]

haircuts are...

[loveearth89]

This song got me through 5 years of depression..and listening to it now that i'm better than ever, just reminds me how i became the person i am today.. i can't imagine my life without it..

[XxVeZaxX]

@loveearth89 it's only been out since 2008... i'm confused.

[loveearth89]

@XxVeZaxX it helped the last three years. The other two years i was just really sad! But good point though!

[DeeperDownBurried]

[Marie01020]

I'm in love with this band.

'' Stranded in this spooky town

Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down

This floor is crackling cold

She took my heart, I think she took my soul

With the moon I run

Far from the carnage of the fiery sun.''

[nickho6]

This song was one of a number that got me through a 6 month tour of Afghanistan....

[lourdes5877]

[desireewinfrey]

[minustheroony]

I rate them as one of the best mainstream artists I've heard in a while!

[SakuraTayji699]

HAHA WOW!!!!! Kalab looks sooooo much like my bf from everything except the eye color and not enough freckals XD

[keykey3508]

IN GRADE SCHOOL SMASHING PUMPKINS WERE MY FAVORITE.. BUT THEN WHEN I HEARD USE SOMEBODY KOL WERE AND STILL IS MY #1 BAND

[izaakbenjamin]

this band suck a poop-filled bum.

What a bunch of poseurs.

[izaakbenjamin]

@keykey3508 Why do you look and talk like a porno advertisment on my msn?

[keykey3508]

@izaakbenjamin CAUSE I CAN

[izaakbenjamin]

@keykey3508 you're favorite band makes me nauseous - they are fake indie rockers

[izaakbenjamin]

@keykey3508 you epitomize the kind of shitty people that like this band

[12cupcakelover]

Going to there concert in November :)

[COOP3RDRUMM3R]

Kings of Leon : My Absolute favorite band! And this is one of my favorite songs by them for sure.

I love jamming some drums to it, so I uploaded my drum cover of this song on my channel.

Although nothing can top how great the original is, I can promise I play some rockin drums, and you won't regret checking my cover out :D

It and my other song covers are on my page! Check em out!

[Opawhale]

Nathan's face at 0:23 :O Scary stuff

[LadyDelynn]

I seriously love Caleb's voice, a perfect fit to this song. So gravely and haunted. He sings like he's lived a hundred weary years, there's just so much yearning in his voice. I do believe he harbors a very old soul.

[basssplayer51]

great search: Kenetics - two dozen

[akn858]

90 people want to be bled dry!

[CaitlinReilly1105]

My favorite song. -33

[mamezerox]

@ninjakittyX congratulations...

[reload904]

some videos and songs i can understand why ppl dislike, but how can you dislike this song, seriously, its sooooo perfect

[bloodyforeigner29]

Wow! Thanks for viewing our video response : Sex on Fire (unplugged). It's getting towards 19,000 views! I know, we are easily pleased. Must be the bathroom and booze which done the trick. Best way to enjoy KOL!!! :D.

[retsub1843]

@bloodyforeigner29 wasnt only the bathroom n booze it was the voice its amazing loved every second of it ...

[noodles1916]

90 ppl couldn't get any closer

[csaclb08]

[donikatus]

such a sexy song!

[GomerJackson]

Blah blah F-n Blah



[GomerJackson]

Blah blah F-n Blah



[imluvinangel247]

I really liked it from 0:00-4:00.

[MissCanadasFinest]

@departmentofapples That's very true. What I'm trying to say is that I truly don't think they would change their music to become more popular and get more money. The reason it's changed is because they are obviously more mature and have gone through different experiences. Not because they want to be more recognition. Hell, I even heard Caleb say something about Sex on Fire being "a peice of shit" in an interview. I'm not even sure they enjoy their most popular singles.

[FuzzyOpposum]

This should be a style of music on it's own!

[MissCanadasFinest]

it really makes me sad to here their old fans say they've "sold out" I simpy think they have matured and use more emotion in their music. it is not a bad thing just different from their old stuff and I enjoy it just as much. if those true people were KOL fans they would know that the band would NEVER sell out.

[departmentofapples]

@MissCanadasFinest I think the fact that any of us has heard of them at all meant that they've sold out. They've sold out concert halls, sold out shows...CDs. They have sold out. They got a record deal. Every band has sold out. I think the only problem is the negative connotations associated with "selling out". Selling out means recognition, and should not by any means be looked at as a bad thing. I think that most people are pissed at their new-found popularity. I say more power to them.

[saudiab9]

love them

[musicjustateisaac]

They've certainly learned to up the emotion with time.

[MsStarwars007]

"with the moon I run" if I was allowed to get a tattoo, that would be it. <3

[mickmousebuildahouse]

This song carries so much power with it. You don't even need to know what he sings to feel what it try's to say.

Some people complain that some bands get old and dull and that thy need to change how thy sound. But in most cases we fall in-love with how thy sound and changing that would mean that we don't listen to them no more. I don't buy a band I knows new CD to listen to something that doesn't sound like the old band. If I wanted to listen to something new i would buy something new.

[ljubicicaNs]

amazing...

[BarRoomFight]

I can so see a Red Rider - Lunatic Fringe redo

[rtwood0905]
