    This song (in particular this version) means so much to me. I showed this to my good friend Luke who had a deep appreciation for music, like myself. He fell in love with Royal Blood, and we would blast them while working on people's roofs. Luke was a great person, and every single day I miss him.

    If this was a Raconteurs song, it would start with Brennan, the drums, and an acoustic. Then, an organ would come in with the bass-range during the second chorus, and at 3:05 Jack would start singing through to the chorus, full band at the chorus through to the end.

    Lyrics:
    [Verse 1]
    There's nothing left inside, I found a whole new low
    My heart is open wide, with no love to show
    I know I got high but you didn't have to leave me so
    [Verse 2]
    Brother had beat me blue, sister bled me dry
    It's why I count on you, but you don't treat me right
    I know I held tight but you didn't have to leave me so
    [Chorus]
    Hollow, hollow
    I don't need you tonight so don't follow, follow
    Left alone in the valley so hollow, hollow
    I know you wanna be mine so don't follow, follow
    [Verse 3]
    Cross my heavy heart, you won't be replaced
    I can't fill the void, walk the empty space
    So remember my face every time you're left feeling so
    [Chorus]
    Hollow, hollow
    I don't need you tonight so don't follow, follow
    Left alone in the valley so hollow, hollow
    I know you wanna be mine so don't follow, follow
    [Verse 4]
    There's nothing left inside, I found a whole new low
    My heart is open wide with no love to show
    'Cause I'm a thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger
    Thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger
    Thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger of you
    [Chorus]
    I don't need you tonight so don't follow, follow
    Left alone in the valley so hollow, hollow
    I know you wanna be mine so don't follow, follow
    [Outro]
    Hollow, hollow
    Hollow, hollow
    Hollow, hollow
    Hollow
    Hollow, hollow
    Hollow, hollow
    Hollow, hollow
    'Cause I'm a thousand miles from danger if I make a better stranger of you

      He usually has an octave pedal and running his guitar through both a bass amp and guitar amp on separate channels to get that signature sound. Of course without his fuzz and distortion pedals for this.
