Lyrics
Gonna take a trip to Laredo Gonna take a dip in the lake Oh, I'm at a crossroads with myself I don't got no one else And possibilities at the door I won't be needing them anymore Oh, is this the first time in your life? It's hard just to get by But oh, my love, don't you even know? And oh, my love, are you really gone? Ooooh And can you see the world through a window? Are you having troubles in droves? Oh, I think the worst thing I could do Is get back home to you I put a bullet in my Kia Lorenzo A kitchen knife up to my face Throw me in the deep of Jenner Lake Believe me when I say That oh, my love, you don't even call And oh, my love, is that you on the phone? Ooooh And oh, my love, you don't even know That oh, my love, are you really gone? Ooooh
About
Released April 13th 2010, "Laredo" is the second single from Band of Horses' third album "Infinite Arms". It was the band's third most successful single after "Casual Party" and "Is There a Ghost", after it peaked at number 34 on the US Alternative Songs chart. Critically it was well received and was often lamented as the stand-out track from their third album. Although rarely played initially at their live concerts, "Laredo" eventually became one of the band's bread and butter and was almost always a part of their setlist. The song is about a relationship that is coming to an end, and the protagonist's realization that he may never see his love again. The lyrics are written in a nostalgic and wistful tone, looking back on the happy moments of the past while also admitting that things can never be the same again. Despite the sad subject matter, "Laredo" is musically upbeat and catchy, with a driving guitar riff and an infectiously catchy chorus. The song is sure to be a favorite among fans of the band, and is sure to get stuck in your head for days on end. It's featured in a few movies and television shows including the action/comedy "30 Minutes or Less" (2011), "The Vampire Diaries" & "A Million Little Things".
