The elevator in the hotel lobby has a lazy door
The man inside is going to a hotel room
He jumped out right after seeing just the very sight of me
He decided he better hike it to the second floor
It's temporary, this place I'm in
I permanently won't do this again
My belongings scattered all across the hotel floor
An hour later I was thinking it over by the snack machine
I thought about you and a candy bar
Now and later now that I've got it stuck between my teeth
I fell asleep to the greatest movie of the year
A man gets lonely for heaven's sake
He's wondering only what did you do today
The world spin around me to old sad song
Well, it's coming down outside like I've never even seen before
I fell into some kind of sorry state
But looking back now I think it's finally time for me to laugh about it
And get my things together and find something to say
Well I feel awful, and I believe
That time gets wasted in this misery
And darlin, I would never want to come back home
The man inside is going to a hotel room

I thought this was the Flaming Lips when the song started.
I always feel like this song is about a man having an affair. I'd be curious to know anyone else hears that.
It's a nice song.

Well, after hearing that song of despair, please excuse me while I go slit my wrist. A band making lots of money sounding totally pitiful... How pitiful. My wife took me to see them. Oh, they're wonderful live, she says. Wallowing in their misery didn't cheer me up.

I can see where you are coming from. But damn, the guitar in Guitar Man is fantastic! Sure would like to hear it played on RP.

My favourite version is the Phil Everly one, there's a nice story told by Albert Hammond around Phil and the inspiration for the song.
My rating for this song drops every time I hear it, and I've been hearing it WAAAAAYYY too much.

This song brings vivid memory of Summer of 2010. Almost 12 years passed, but why not laugh in Time's face. It's no use, but it's not forbidden either.
Been a very long time since I've heard you guys play this one. Thanks. I love this band. :)

RP plays a lot of great music. I suppose that wouldn't be as well appreciated if there weren't some tripe to compare it to...
If I get out of this quarantine in one piece, there's a phat donation coming to Bill and Becky.

Love love love BoH! Play more of them, please!
Wonderbar!

Echoing your sentiments 100%. I owe my middle-aged musical re-education to Bill and Rebecca. It was like I returned from a 30 year space voyage at age 50 and someone handed me a digital thingie and said "all the best music made since you left, and before that, is on this—we were only allowed to transmit you crap voted in by TMZ fans from a corporate approved list while you were in transit". And they were right.
10 years or so into RP at age 54 and I feel the same way. I'm a voracious music consumer and RP still plays stuff all the time that I have never heard or just forgot about. I'm never disappointed when I tune in.

Band of Horses is way better than MMJ: I rarely have the urge to hit the mute button with this band.

While listening to this song, I hear your point. I think my preference for Band of Horses stems from a belief that this band's singer is better. My Morning Jacket tends to overproduce the music around their singer's voice.
These bands are on a spectrum (alt-country rock? you tell me) that includes my current fave, Lord Huron.

I must have been on the same space voyage with you because that is exactly how I feel.

Yes, I also find a lot of music here that I did not get to hear in the "dry 90's/oughts" when there didn't seem to be any radio stations without screaming, mindless DJs and equally mindless music. However I was lucky in the 60's, 70's and 80's to listen to excellent FM radio, yet Bill & Rebecca still play stuff from those time periods I've never even heard. What a treasure this station is!

this is an earworm song...I'll hear it early tomorrow as I make coffee, much against my will
I like Band of Horses. Ghost in my House and Funeral are fine tracks. But this one....what the hell does the song title signify? No reference to such in the lyrics, which seem kind of lame anyway.
Like! 
Stupid! retarded lyrics. Shallow substance.

The harmony is OK, but these lyrics are from a book entitled "How to Write Bad". Sucko-barfo.

Actually, this song has ratings pretty heavily weighted to the upper end. There are plenty of other songs in RP rotation that have a very polarizing effect, but this one isn't one of them. I'm always amused when I see songs where the ratings form a very clear inverted bell curve - with most of the scores in the 1-2 range and in the 9-10 range. And I'm doubly amused when it seems that my favorite bands fall into this polarizing category - Dead Can Dance, Cocteau Twins, etc...
Band of Horses is a consistent 7 for me. Another in a long list of good bands to which I'd be oblivious were it not for RP.
Wow...people either like or don't like this song....

I enjoy the music of this band

So at 63 I find Radio Paradise to be the perfect way to discover new music I missed and older music I also missed. This is a great tune!

It grows on you, like the band. Simple but effective. Optimally listenable if not quite worthy of a zillion repeats.
I love this response.

I wouldn't call Band of Horses brilliant, but I do get a warm and happy feeling everytime I listen to them. The albums are also easy listening from beginning to end. Solid 8 for this one :)
Love it.

You really should try only listening to one band at a time, they sound much better that way. Beginners mistake, you'll get the hang of it eventually... :p

I really enjoy this tune, but I seem to be hearing it a bit too often of late. Not having the same effect as before. :(

This tune is the lead soundtrack tune for the Ewan MacGregor/Charlie Boorman motorcycle documentaries Long Way 'Round and Long Way Down. The former is really worth watching for anyone with a bit of wanderlust, and the latter is okay too.

I wish all of you "MERRY CHRISTMAS",
wherever you are - whoever you wanna be!
Christmas is a sweet-naive tradition -
not a religious event!
I like it anyway!
Still - I hope Bill takes the chance
to rock the christmas-tree to pieces tonight!
"Happy Christmas
your "BAD SANTA",
aka STINGRAY
-from Cologne/Germany-
PS
Sermon of the day (promise: I'm serious):
The "Three Wise Men" - Melchior, Balthasar + Caspar
are buried in a golden sarcophage in"our" dome, the famous
"Cologne dome" - the third highest church-building
in the world - right in the very centre of town, next to the Rhine.
A gothic building of extra-class!
Have a look:

Radio Paradise turned me on to BoH. I am so hooked on them.
Can't wait to hear them live.

Wasn't gonna engage, but wild horses are sort of a cause for me. I live in Nevada, where the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) has become autonomous and has "gathered" them by helicopter, driving them to death in the heat of summer...

Yep - peter_james_bond - I agree - so NOT proud of this country. And I really just hate the BLM.
Thanks for engaging - that is horrible! I'd rather see them slaughtered - at least it would be a quick death. . .dying in the desert heat. . .very inhumane.

Wrong, the horses are now sent across the border to Canada where it is legal to kill them in slaughterhouses. There have been a couple of news stories about the inhumane treatment of these animals. Sigh...so proud of my country....NOT!

I absolutely love this track. Would like to check out more of their stuff for sure
Wow, I love this! 
A little of this band goes a long way, but this song is righteous.

Shouldn't they call themselves Herd of Horses? And what kind of factory do they sing about? A glue factory?
