I spent this past New Year's Eve at a party full of Los Angelenos five to 10 years my junior, young men and women just establishing themselves professionally and hanging on to the last of their 20s. Sometime after midnight — long after midnight, according to the battalion of empty beer bottles and broken-stemmed wine glasses — a group of about 10 of these youngsters huddled together in a mass group hug and caterwauled the chorus of No One's Gonna Love You ( More Than I Do by the Seattle-via- South Carolina group Band of Horses. That night, the song served as these friends' theme song: They serenaded each other loudly and drunkenly, of course, but also sweetly and affectionately. This snapshot says a lot about Band of Horses' music as well as its fans. If these friends speak for the band's large and loyal audience, who are known to sing along loudly at the band's sold-out shows, then listeners are drawn to Band of Horses' folksy, dramatic indie rock because they want their lives to be epic and meaningful, their loves and dreams championed in big choruses and chiming guitar strums. There's nothing wrong with this necessarily: People listen to and identify with music for better and worse reasons. On the other hand, apparently no one singing that song on New Year's was aware of its co-dependent desperation and its deep sense of loss and denial. Things start splitting at the seams, sings head Horse Ben Bridwell, and now the whole thing's tumbling down. Or if they were aware of these darker shades of meaning, they chose to gloss over them that night and sing the chorus at face value, which Bridwell's lyrics not only allow but encourage. On Band of Horses' 2006 debut, Everything All the Time, as well as on the 2007 follow-up, Cease To Begin (on which No One's Gonna Love You appears he writes and sings about specific people and places but leaves enough room in his lyrics.

It features new versions of five of the six songs from the band's Tour EP, some with different titles.

Regarding its lyrics, he added, A lot of these songs didn't really come from any lyric writing, let alone any singing ability. A lot of the ways the words are sung were meant to hide or mask what's being said. But there are definitely words. I wrote 'em down on paper and everything. [2] The band performed the first single from the album, The Funeral, on the Late Show with David Letterman.[3] By that time Brooke, Meinig and Early had all left the band and had been replaced by Joe Arnone (keyboards, guitar Rob Hampton (guitar, bass) and Creighton Barrett (drums). The Funeral has been used extensively in film, TV, video games and advertisements. The two tracks with lyrics written by Mat Brooke, I Go to the Barn. and St. Augustine feature co-lead vocals by Brooke and Bridwell although Brooke's vocals are much quieter than Bridwell's. A demo version of I Go to the Barn. titled I'd Like to Think was recorded by Brooke and Bridwell as Nov 16, a short lived project between Carissa's Wierd and Band of Horses. On the Nov 16.
