Walls es un álbum de Kings of Leon, publicado en 2016 por RCA. El disco incluye 10 canciones, entre ellas «Waste a Moment», «Reverend», «Around the World» y «Find Me».
Sobre el álbum
La discografía de Kings of Leon se renueva con este álbum, un trabajo en el que la banda decide colaborar por primera vez con el aclamado productor Markus Dravs (Coldplay, Arcade Fire). Esta asociación da un sonido notablemente más moderno, pulcro y con un claro enfoque en la melodía pop. "Walls" es, posiblemente, su disco más accesible y radiable desde su gran éxito comercial.La producción es nítida y detallada, con un mayor uso de teclados y texturas sutiles que en trabajos anteriores. Las canciones son más concisas y se centran en estribillos potentes y directos, como en el exitoso sencillo "Waste a Moment". Es decir, la banda se aleja de la crudeza del rock para explorar un sonido más sofisticado y contemporáneo. "Walls" (un acrónimo de "We Are Like Love Songs") es un álbum que muestra a una banda madura explorando nuevas vías para su característico rock emocional.

- Waste a Moment
Letra
All the way from Waco to WeHo With a rabbit on her chain Drove a little slick car to tend bar With the static on her brain She's a little burner, burner, gonna throw you to the flame Little ticking time bomb, time bomb, gonna blow us all away Oh, take the time to waste a moment Oh, never ask to be forgiven Tex, he was her boyfriend, with no kin Always running from the law Every other weekend, the week ends With his back in her claw He's a livewire, wired shooting sparks in the night He’s a gun for a hire, hired with a bead in his sights Oh, take the time to waste a moment Oh, facing where the lines are broken Oh, name your price to all this living Oh, never ask to be forgiven Oh, take the time to waste a moment Oh, facing where the lines are broken Oh, name your price to all this living Oh, never ask to be forgiven - Reverend
Letra
On the lam cut down in the middle of the night caught in a trap Crushed by the cry of the wandering man who was never coming back Stuck on the line spending all of his time with his back to the throne With the flash of the round everybody in town said "Leave it alone" Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio Your heart will never say so Your heart will never let it go Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio My heart will never say so My heart will never let it go I got caught in the middle of a hurricane fight facing the ground Beast of the wild with a porcelain smile as it passes around The truth in disguise from the billowing eyes isn't working on me Don't you think you gotta give Give me something I want Give me something I need Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio Your heart will never say so Your heart will never let it go Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio My heart will never say so My heart will never let you go Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio Your heart will never say so Your heart will never let it go Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio My heart will never say so My heart will never let you go Just like the reverend, like the reverend on the radio So my heart will never say so And my heart will never let you go - Around the World
Letra
My corner, you'll find me every day The boys come out That's where we like to play "Wanna tag along?" I said "No way." One drop dead high A price you're gonna pay Been around the world been around the world I stormed the gates in laden pearl All around the world all around the world I lost myself and found a girl Keep dancing, like it's ya last time With softened eyes, swimming in delight When the curtain falls, I'm on your scene What sweet surprise sashay to me Been around the world been around the world I stormed the gates in laden pearl All around the world all around the world I lost myself and found a girl Take it all the way, take it all the way All the way All around the world all around the world I lost myself and found a girl - Find Me
Letra
See you in the western sky On the best of nights Out in the dark You always seem to come my way Come and take your shape Out in the stars I really want to know your name See your face Know who you are Who you are How did you find me? How did you find me? What are you looking for? What are you looking for? How did you find me? How did you find me? I see your shadow knocking at my door Waiting on the smoke to rise From behind your eyes Take me away Follow me into the wild With a twisted smile I can't escape And now I got you by my side All my life Day after day Turn to grey How did you find me? How did you find me? What are you looking for? What are you looking for? How did you find me? How did you find me? I feel your shadow knocking at my door See you in the western sky Behind your eyes I can't escape From the grey How did you find me? How did you find me? What are you looking for? What are you looking for? How did you find me? How did you find me? I feel your shadow What are you looking for? How did you find me? How did you find me? - Over
Letra
I see the grass beneath me I smell the wind and sky And think to myself "Don't pass me by" You dance in strange conditions with strangers of the night I see you're crazy, and so am I You bled out red and blue The boys of NYU, they saw you coming from miles away Nothing is quite as homey, we dive each sunny day I see you Kenny, you castaway Oh, don't say it's over Don't say it's over, anymore Oh, don't say it's over Don't say it's over, anymore Bright lights that make the city Quaaludes on Christmas Eve And all the good times we've ever seen The roles we play together The slaps across my face I face the music You write the scene Oh, don't say it's over Don't say is over anymore Oh, don't say it's over Don't say it's over anymore My angel hovers over The light comes crashing in I know it's how this here story ends I'll hang around forever, until you cut me down All pressed and ready to face the crowd Oh, don't say it's over Don't say is over anymore Oh, don't say it's over Don't say it's over anymore Oh, don't say it's over Don't say is over anymore Oh, don't say it's over Don't say it's over anymore - Muchacho
Letra
My right hand partner Used to work it for a living He'd take the backseat Of all that he was given He'd let you rise Then take the fall He was my favorite friend of all My old muchacho Loved to dress for each occasion Without that rocket ship Taking me in the right direction Those crooked eyes That know it all He was my favorite friend of all He was my favorite friend of all He's wearing jean on jean Cut him some slack, fox Perched in the corner of the scene Just here to take stock He'll take the chain He'll take the ball He was my favorite friend of all He was my favorite friend of all He was my favorite friend of all - Conversation Piece
Letra
Take me back to California To those crystal neon signs Where the traveling sensations Are all blinded by the light There are eyes in every corner Bloated brains and rotten smiles There are coats of many colors Flying high up in the sky Won't you come 'round my way for some conversation, please? Won't you come 'round my way, it's a conversation piece Look at all these shattered faces They all look so out of place They've got nothing left to live for They'll be dead before they wake I'd love to know just what you're thinking Tell me what I ought to do I will never leave you lonely You're the one I'm running to Get me out of California Take me off into the blue We could make it out together To the place that's calling you Won't you come 'round my way for some conversation, please? Won't you come 'round my way, it's a conversation piece Won't you come 'round my way for some conversation, please? Won't you come 'round my way for some conversation, please? Oh, won't you come 'round my way, it's a conversation piece - Eyes on You
Letra
Out here looking for the good life Tongue in my cheek and your back in my knife I keep pushing through My eyes are right on you Everyone says you should get away Fast as you can, but I know you'll stay Never fall behind He's always on your mind You're somewhere I wanna go Nice and swift as we take it slow Oh we're on our way Don't ever hesitate I'll hide in the dark in the back of your brain Laughing aloud as we go insane No time to waste I never come too late If you don't like it, then try it You don't like it, then try it Oh, I believe it when I see it I believe it when I see it You're my misfit and I'm your freak Dance all night 'til our knees go weak We can shut this place down No one else is around I try hard to understand The crush of the world in the palm of your hand You know we sit just right Let's run away from the light If you don't like it, then try it If you don't like it, then try it Well babe, I believe it when I see it I believe it when I see it Tongue in your cheek and back in my knife Out here looking for the good life Keep on pushing through I got eyes on you Baby, you know we're on our way Misfit and freak every single day Sitting ten feet tall Let's go take it all If you don't like it, then try it You don't like it, then try it I know you can see it, I believe it You can see it, I believe it We're here for the moment, so let's own it For the moment, so let's own it It's here for the taking, why you waiting? It's good loving, it's worth making - Wild
Letra
Like in a mainstream melody Oh I want to take you in If you come around I come a running Waltz through the fire again The weight of the wind is kicking up Every little sting is you Plucked from the vine Ahead of its time Only if you want me to Wild heartbreak and wonder Time, rolling like thunder Brace for the explosion Wild blissfully open I spent the night on a riverside Trying to recall my name Head full of bends all sinking in Something has it gone insane The shape of the light comes screaming in Harsh enough to see it through Something in the air and the water tonight Rising from the best of you Wild heartbreak and wonder Time, rolling like thunder Brace for the explosion Wild blissfully open Wild heartbreak and wonder Time, rolling like thunder Brace for the explosion Wild blissfully open - WALLS
Letra
I can't get there on my own You can't leave me here alone I'm just trying to do what's right Oh a man ain't a man 'less he's fought the fight I could never point you out Waste of space in a faceless crowd Tell me what I have to say If you know what's right, then you'll walk away When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down One by one I've seen em fall Some just don't show up at all I'm just here to fight the fire Oh a man ain't a man 'less he has desire And the walls come down And the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down You tore out my heart And you threw it away The western girl with eastern eyes Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits Now there's nothing in the way In the way In the way In the way When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down When the walls come down You tore out my heart You threw it away The western girl with eastern eyes Took a wrong turn and found surprise awaits Now there's nothing in the way In the way In the way In the way
