About This Track

Cold Desert, though the lead singer, Caleb Followill, doesn’t remember recording this due to him and the rest of the band being drunk at the time, he still found it good enough to make it on the record ‘Only By The Night’. At the time it was recorded, according to Caleb Followill, only the ‘first few lines’ were written, and the rest came directly from his heart. He says when he heard it for the first time, he became very emotional and almost cried.

    Deep melancholic tune. The emotions expressed in this song are so real and deep it almost makes me wanna cry. It's amazing because Caleb Fallowell recorded this song when he was totally wasted. And its like his sadness is...3D. All in all, beautiful song. I listen to it when I'm alone or feeling down.

    I'm too young to feel this old. The whole song is just too heartbreaking. A+ work.

    Superb bass line. Songs in the key of D can have a sad/emotional feel, don't ask me why.
