Some Horses - Old Dominion - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Country music and storytelling go hand in hand, and American country group Old Dominion's song "Some Horses" stands as a testament to that craft. A part of the group's EP Memory Lane, this track mirrors the EP's overall tone – cheerful but evocative. The song, written by Matthew Kyle Jenkins and Shane McAnally, opens a window to the complexities of love and freedom with nuanced storytelling. Musically, "Some Horses" marries a sparse beat with acoustic and electric guitars, including a stormy solo that accentuates its emotional gravitas. Its layered production (courtesy of Shane McAnally) fits between country and adult contemporary genres, maintaining the band's signature relaxed yet tuneful vibe. The lyrics of "Some Horses" delve into the theme of uncontainable freedom, a poetic take on the paradox of love – the very things that make someone irresistible may also make them impossible to hold onto. Memory Lane, its parent EP, peaked at number 96 on the Billboard 200.
