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 ↴
She's not refind
But hanging from your windowsill,
She is calling me in
Taking me,
Calling me in
I have only rose
Leaving my burdens behind
She kept taking me in
Taking me,
Taking me in
Rose,
Rose,
Rose,
Small thorns, they grind
Soon to leave the sky
Will she always Trust my kind
Keep on taking me in
Taking me,
Taking me in
My mind's made
I am prepared to lose
My concentration
Leaving all my fears behind
I kept taking her in
Taking her,
Taking her in
Rose,
Rose,
Rose
Rose,
Rose
Hmm
Upon listening to Dark Horses's song "Rose," one can interpret the lyrics as a story of someone who is attracted to a woman who is not typically of high society. The singer describes her as not being elegant or refined, but she intrigues him nonetheless. He compares her to a rose, a beautiful flower with thorns, which symbolizes her beauty and complexity. She is calling him in, taking him towards her, and he is willing to leave his burdens and fears behind to be with her.
The repeated lines of "Taking me in" and "Rose, Rose, Rose" create a hypnotic effect, playing into the idea of being drawn towards something irresistible. The singer questions if having just a rose is enough to prove his worth and attract this woman, and wonders if she will always trust him despite not fitting into her expectations of a suitor. The lyrics suggest an intense desire to be with this woman, even if it means sacrificing other areas of his life.
Overall, the poetic lyrics of "Rose" evoke a sense of longing and passion, and the use of the rose as a metaphor adds layers of meaning to the song.
