"No One's Gonna Love You" sits on Cease to Begin, Band of Horses' second album, released on Sub Pop in 2007, and went out as its second single in February 2008. Creighton Barrett, Ben Bridwell and Rob Hampton wrote it, and Phil Ek recorded, produced and mixed it, letting the guitars shimmer and the reverb pile up until the vocal seems to float over the whole thing. It's slow and swaying, and it sounds best at the end of the night.
It kept finding new audiences: TV shows like Chuck, One Tree Hill and Numb3rs, the films Zombieland and Prom, and in 2011, three years after its release, a spot on the Danish charts after the band played it on Det Nye Talkshow.
