Band Of Horses Perform A New Song In Sweden

thumbnail icon: Band Of Horses Perform A New Song In Sweden

In this live footage of Band Of Horses testing out a new track during their set at Sweden's Accelerator Festival, a guitar-less Ben Bridwell, wrestling with shirt buttons, looks like he's not sure where to put his hands when he's not holding onto his harmonica. The lyrics for the nostalgic, sunsetting ballad involve a victory lap, an old stray cat, a family tree, and a secret or two, but no breakaway glass. Maybe the Horses are at work on a follow-up to Cease To Begin. Believe it or not, that album's been out close to a year.

Judging from the hoots and hollers, Swedish people love harmonicas.

Yes! I saw them a week ago in charleston and they played this song, which I immediately fell in love with! Thank you so much for the video.
