Wanna hear a truly terrible song? Look no further than "Is there a Ghost?" by Band of Horses. Go here to listen to it.
Most music today friggin' sucks. Seriously, when did record labels come out and say "Okay, I want BAND X to repeat the same three lines over and over again but just change the music a little while you do it. That song by Band of Horses is an example of a truly bad song. I'm being very truthful when I say the song has three lines. THREE LINES! And they're getting national exposure. PATHETIC.
What the hell happened to music, nowadays? Remember "Take a Picture" by Filter? How about, "Everything is All Right" by Motion City Soundtrack. Those were some songs that maybe weren't great, but at very least they had lyrics that told a story.
This makes me wonder if I'm not the victim of a Band of Horses joke. I'm wondering if they made this song as one of those "filler" songs that they had never intended to go national, but if it did, they can laugh at the ridiculousness of it . If that were the case, I'd respect them for their funny-bone, but I seriously doubt an indie band like Band of Horses would do that. Its a damn shame that some suit was shortsighted enough to allow crap like that to ruin the good name plastic has given CD's.
Now, if you'd like to hear a good song, try "Thrash Unreal" by Against Me!

Songs with repetitive lines usually SUCK. There are notable exceptions but usually it is thus. As for this particular group...they can keep their pansy ass ghost stories to themselves
Yeah, as far as The Who are concerned, that was a piece of a story. That was WELL executed. This damn band has nothing to offer.
