Kings of leon - Use Somebody

Band: Kings of leon
Song: Use Somebody
Album: Only by the night
Genre: Alternative rock




Frontman Caelv Followill wrote this song about longing for somebody to have a cuddle with thile feeling lonely on the rad, and its also about being far from home and comfort. The song was made just after a huge arguement/fallout among the band members and noone was speaking to another. Caleb Followill started playing the chords and sang out "You know, i could use somebody...". This ended he fight and brang the group back together.

In the video if use somebody by kings of leon the video is typical for a boyband. Yje videos shows them performing singely and togehter. The video uses montage editing as the locations change. For example one minute they are performing and then it changed to them playing together and socially with eachother. The video also shows them lip sinking and beggining of the video shows a number of shots of them and the area around them which is at night and is dark. This matches the sad and dull lyrics of the love song.

The video is a combination of performance, narrative and abstract. This is because the video shows them performing as a band but also shows them doing their everyday things with their girlfriends and drinking with their friends.
