This song won three awards at the 2010 Grammies: Record of the Year,
Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals.
Frontman Caleb Followill
wrote this song about longing for somebody to have a cuddle with while
feeling lonely on the road. He said on his band's website: "It's about
being far from home."
Caleb told Uncut
magazine October 2008 the story of the song: "The meat of song was
written on tour. When I came up with 'I could use somebody,' I didn't
know if I was talking about a person or home or God. I felt immediately
that it was a big song, and it scared me away. Then, when we were
writing the record, Matthew kept sayin', 'What's that song, man?', and I
acted like I didn't know what he was talking about. Then, finally, I
went, 'All right, we'll do it,' and as soon as we started playin' it,
the producers looked up and said, 'Whoa, that's a good song.' I was
like, 'OK.'"
