'The Great Salt Lake': is the most underrated item Band Of Horses?
Music has given me many great moments but few have been those who have come to excite me. I would say it could even count them on the fingers of one hand! 'Release' of Pearl Jam in Berlin, 'Disappearing Act' of Chris Cornell in Paris ... and 'The Great Salt Lake "by Band Of Horses in Cambridge. I've been living a torrid "affair" with the subject: not a week that I sit on the train and enjoy the scenery and listening to the organic meandering melody that always gives us the effective band Ben Bridwell.
Many are those who believe that 'The Great Salt Lake' goes on the lake of the same name that is in Utah, but the truth is that Ben Bridwell confessed long ago that this song is dedicated to Lake Murray, a lake in South Carolina that have happened in all kinds of strange stories. Digging the Internet I saw that 'The Great Salt Lake' is one of the three themes, next to 'The Funeral' and 'The General Specific', that have sounded in concert BOH. Even so it is recalled that in mid-2006 'TGSL' failed miserably as the second single from that "Everything All The Time" that even today is remembered for include 'The Funeral' in its official tracklist.
People tend to feel a predilection for the final version of 'The (Billion Day) Funeral', and even 'No One's Gonna Love You' or 'Laredo', but very few are those who see a special way to a topic, like fine wine, gets better with the passing of the years. At least we'll always have the satisfaction of knowing that Ben Bridwell adores this issue, and so, and even going against commercial pressures, 'The Great Salt Lake' always sound at concerts of Band Of Horses. For the love he professed, by the intensity of the issue and that '... we know who we are ...' that despite being in the middle of 2012 still rings with the same force and the same integrity that six years ago. Live Band Of Horses!
