“Crawl” by Kings of Leon
From the album Only by the Night (2008)
“Crawl” by Kings of Leon appears on 9 radio countdowns from 9 stations between 2008 and 2010. It was first released in 2008 on the album Only by the Night. Its best result is #19 on the Channel 92.3 Top 92 Songs of 2010. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #157 alternative song of 2009.
"Crawl" sits second in the running order of Only by the Night, Kings of Leon's 2008 album, but it was the first thing anybody heard from the record: fans could grab it free from the band's website for a short spell before the album landed. All four Followills share the writing credit. Caleb sings lead and plays guitar alongside Matthew, Jared holds down the bass, Nathan drums, and the other three pile in on backing vocals.
Jacquire King produced it with Angelo Petraglia, and King recorded and mixed it too. It took more than a year to get a proper single release, and then only in Canada and the United States, in late October 2009, three months after it had turned up as downloadable content for the Rock Band games.
