Mummy what’s a DARK HORSE?
One thing we know is that it begins with the source...LISA ELLE the exterminating angel, the Swedish sonic siren...How many sailors will deliriously drown mistaking her voice for safe harbour?
On her nocturnal dérive’s along the shores of Seagull City, SHE finds such like; FIVE drowned LEATHER boys, shivering under the pier. Nourishing them with spells and drones and words and melody’s, she names them DARK HORSES.
Next thing we know DARK HORSES are snowed up in Chicago’s KeyClub studio’s sharing beds with THE KILLS. In the control room at SLY STONE’s mixing desk proffer’s the mighty Richard FEARLESS (Death In Vegas / Black Acid), recording their debut long player, in the vocal booth KASABIAN’s Tom Meighan adds vocals.
The few who’ve heard this record ‘hate BLUES’ (working title) have said:
‘Unaware of their significance, the ‘HORSES high-lonesome sound is psychedelic soul to live not die for.’
‘A communion of Siouxsie Sioux and Grace Slick is Lisa Elle’
‘An indelible statement on loneliness and spiritual thirst.’
‘DARK HORSES make mysterious, open-ended songs that tap into spiritual realms and become occasions for our individual meditation.’
Little did KASABIAN’s Serge Pizzorno KNOW that when he pressed PLAY on his Cape Town tour bus cd player to first listen to DARK HORSES that before the song was over he would be surrounded by two armed response team’s, pushing revolver’s in his face demanding him to stop this ‘disturbing and unholy clamour’...
Next thing we know DARK HORSES are opening for KASABIAN on their current UK tour, including shows at Brixton’s Academy and Wembley arena.
Its reasonable to suppose that next year SPRING will bring the ‘HORSES long player and a tour of the nation.
DARK HORSES believe that the lighting is within you, let it travel up your spine.
Now we know?
There are zones of the story yet to be revealed.

Dark Horses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You must pass this message on
To answer
Radio radio
To my fears
Cause its all over now
It’s all over now
Come on now
Come on now
I’m holding out for all I’ve ever dreamed of
Come on now
Come on now
Wish another star that never stop
Cause its all over now
I said it’s all over now
Couldn’t you see all that I see
Wouldn’t you miss the sun
Wouldn’t you miss some one
Radio radio
Tell you what’s wrong
I couldn’t tell you
Radio radio
Turn down the signs I see
Cause its all over now
I said it’s all over now
Wouldn’t you be lost at see
Wouldn’t you miss the sun
Couldn’t you feel all that I feel
Couldn’t you be
Couldn’t you be the one for me
In "Radio" by Dark Horses, the lyrics express a desire to reach out and connect with someone. The opening lines lay out a clear directive for the radio to pass a message along, but the target of the message is left ambiguous. The repetition of the phrase "you must pass this message on" underscores a sense of urgency and importance, like a message in a bottle being set out to sea. The feelings being conveyed in the song are at once desperate and hopeful, as the singer is "holding out for all I've ever dreamed of" and asking, "couldn't you be the one for me?"
The middle of the song takes a darker turn, with the repeated refrain of "it's all over now" punctuating a growing sense of longing and loss. The lines "couldn't you see all that I see / wouldn't you miss the sun / wouldn't you miss someone" hint at the singer's isolation and despair, and suggest that they are reaching out for connection in the face of overwhelming darkness. The final lines of the song plead with an unnamed "you" to "feel all that I feel" and "be the one for me," ending on a note of vulnerability and uncertainty.
Overall, "Radio" is a song that captures the feeling of being lost and alone, and the desperate need we all have for connection with others. The repetition of certain key phrases and the use of imagery like stars and the open sea help to reinforce these emotions, giving the song a haunting and memorable quality.
