The shape of the song

Peak at 2:30

The skyline is the song’s loudness, second by second, measured from the master. The sun sits at its loudest moment.

About the song

About the song

Band of Horses’ original is a guitar-driven indie rock anthem. Crewless rebuilds it around synths and drums into one of the quietest tracks in the band’s catalog by measured energy, and keeps it close to the moody sound of Deepest Blue and Elevator (Going Down).

The cover was added to the Spotify playlist Drive Like Ryan Gosling.
