Kings of Leon – Pyro
Kings of Leon – Pyro (2010)
Directed by: Max Goldman Paul Greenhouse, Casey McGrath
Pyro is a song by the American rock band Kings of Leon, released on December 9, 2010, as the second single from their fifth studio album, *Come Around Sundown*. The track blends alternative and Southern rock elements, featuring introspective lyrics and a compelling melody. Lead vocalist Caleb Followill drew inspiration from a documentary about radical Christians in the mountains, which influenced the song’s themes of disillusionment and a desire to break free from societal constraints. The accompanying music video, directed by Max Goldman, Paul Greenhouse, and Casey McGrath, portrays a bar fight scene in slow motion, culminating in a surreal sequence where patrons levitate towards the ceiling, while the band continues to perform unaffected.
