Song of the Day: Band of Horses "No One's Gonna Lo

[Guest Admin]

Today's installment of "Song of the Day" is brought to you by our own Brandon Proff.

I chose this song for a couple reasons. It is simply a very good song. Band of Horse's first record "Everything all the time" was a mainstay in my musical rotation during one of the rougher points of the last few years of my life. it was and still is one of those records that always makes me feel good. I don't know if it's the ridiculous amounts of reverb used on everything or what, but it's just a huge fluffy cloud of sound.

Fast forward to the end of summer 2007. I was living in New York, and a few of my friends and I decide to drive to Northampton, MA to see Modest Mouse and Band of Horses at an outdoor amphitheater called "Look Memorial Park." We found out upon our arrival that we couldn't get in to the show (it's a long story). I was sad, but thanks to it being an outdoor venue we were able to hang out in a huge, beautiful, green park on an awesome summer evening and listen to Band of Horses. That was around the time that I decided to get my life together and move back to Denver, and this song makes me think about that.

Needless to say, when the album "Cease to Begin" was released a few months later, It also moved into my constant rotation and "No One's Gonna Love you" was just as good as I remember it being at the show.

Thanks for the memories, Band of Horses.

Great pick.

Definitely a great pick. I was at the show you speak of and I thought the Band of Horses set was just as good, if not better than the Modest Mouse set(not to rub it in). Something about their music really works with the ambiance of the outdoors. Bummer they wouldn't let you in.
