Eric and Annie gave Larry and I a CD of Band Of Horses when we were in San Francisco and I have been listening to them almost exclusively this last week.
I like this song the best, “No one’s gonna love you (more than I do).” There wasn’t a video for the song on Youtube, but the big boxer staring at us is just as good.
It was bothering me who Band Of Horses reminded me of and then it came to me–Big Star. I love Big Star, so I spastically downloaded them today and made a playlist, mixing the two bands.
Then I found this nice little number from Metrolyrics.com. This widget scrolls lyrics to a song. “The Ballad of el goodo” is a beautifully written song by Big Star. So, this is what you do: play the YouTube below and scroll the words here.
Ahh, wasn’t that outstanding? This is the kind of thing that makes me thoroughly and disproportionately happy.
I found your blog through the lovely Girl Friday, and I love it! I’m going to link you off mine 🙂 hope you don’t mind! Band Of Horses are incredible and no one’s gonna love you… has made me weep more than once.
Nice to meet you, I’m MJ 🙂
The thing about BoH is that their songs, amazing as they are recordings, COME TO LIFE when you see them live. You have to see them live. I will let you know next time they are rolling through town.
