American rock band Kings of Leon have just premiered the music video of their fourth single from “WALLS”.
The track, called “Reverend”, is about the life of Blaze Foley, a country singer who died by gunshot at 39 years old in 1989. “He was a troubled guy with a really beautiful voice” Caleb tells. “When he sang, it felt like he was talking to you. You wanted to hear what he had to say.”
“WALLS”, which stands for “We are like love songs,” is the first album from Kings of Leon since 2013’s “Mechanical bull”. It contains ten songs produced by Markus Dravs (Arcade Fire, Coldplay, Florence and the Machine).
Lyrics:
On the lam cut down in the middle of the night caught in a trap
Crushed by the crown of the wandering man who was never coming back
Stuck on the line spending all of his time with his back to the throne
With the flash of the round everybody in town said “Leave it alone”
Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio
Your heart will never say so
Your heart will never let it go
Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let it go
I got caught in the middle of a hurricane fight facing the ground
Beast of the wild with a porcelain smile as it passes around
The truth in desguise from the billowing eyes isn’t working on me
Don’t you think you gotta give
Give me something I want
Give me something I need
Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio
Your heart will never say so
Your heart will never let it go
Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let you go
Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio
Your heart will never say so
Your heart will never let it go
Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let you go
Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio
My heart will never say so
My heart will never let you go
