“Molly’s chambers, oh, the chambers of Molly” is how I used to sing the chorus to this track when I first became aware of it many moons ago. The video played quite frequently on TV, and this would have been years after Youth & Young Manhood was available to the public. Then I found out that that wasn’t what Caleb Followill was singing. But really, the way he mumbles his vocals throughout you wouldn’t be able to really know until you looked it up.

So, ‘Molly’s Chambers’ is a track from Kings of Leons’ first album. It was released as the second single from there, way back in 2003. My personal experience, I don’t think I knew this song existed until maybe after the release of Aha Shake Heartbreak a year later. All I knew was ‘Red Morning Light’ and that was because it was the opening track on FIFA 2004. But as I explained I saw the ‘Chambers’ video, thought that was all right, and as a result came to like the song by association.

It’s one of those songs about mysterious girls who make men want to drop to their knees and be close to them just because of how cool they seem to be. I think there’s a gun reference in the song title too. Like the chamber in a gun? Maybe the effect this Molly has is like a bullet to the brain. Or maybe it’s chambers as in a bedroom. I’ve never thought about all this until now. Maybe it’s deeper than I ever thought it was. Best to not think about it too much though. Might start a run of sleepless nights.
