It's been a long five years since last checking in here. And what do I see?! Some of my comments throughout the ages have been deleted?!?! Rest assured all, I am keeping this corner of the internet nice and cozy. Talk to you all in a few years. And if you haven't, put this banger on rotation. It's just as good as it was over close to two decades ago. |

Hey all THE marxman2 checking in. First submitted this lyric back in 2007 as a high school student, and damn proud to be the continued self-proclaimed moderator of this little-known Sunset Rubdown song. Checking in for the first time in nearly 5 years, and damn proud of the general cleanliness here. Looking forward to getting my first comment since 2011, so let's do this community! |

| Sunset Rubdown – The Men are Called Horsemen There Lyrics | 19 years ago |
|
Here's an interview with Sunset Rubdown members (except Spencer Krug wasn't in it for whatever reason) in regard to this song. CMG: I would like to do a sort of “round table” on this, have it going as a group e-mail interview that any one of you can jump in on/contribute to at any time, and we’ll go song-by-song, snake-by-snake. The first thing I’d like everyone to do is mention your favourite animal as appears in a Sunset Rubdown lyric, which song it’s in, and why you like or are intrigued by that particular animal. Michael: My favorite would be the horse references from “The Men are Called Horsemen There.” They seem to describe male sexuality as something to be restrained and tamed by a lover, but also something men may struggle with and feel guilty about. Seems kinda clear in the lyric “If I were a horse, I’d throw up the reins if I were you,” as if to say, “you misunderstand me, see... we understand each other.” Like that saying, “We’re the same you and me, we’re the same don’t you see?” But he’s also talking about men in Spain, and whatever cultural differences exist, and the only things I know about Spanish men come from Don Quixote, Picasso, and Gaudy, and they were all mad visionaries like Spencer. So he could be saying something like, “I ain’t no horseman [meaning oversexed]; you’ve never seen horsemen. I’ve been to Spain! In Spain they’re horsemen! And they thought I was one too, but I’m not, they got me wrong, I’m just this dumb kid from Penticton [or wherever Spencer is from in BC] and I was drunk and nervous and seduced, and maybe thought I could be a horse, but I’m hardly a pony!” We don’t really ask Spencer to explain his lyrics. Maybe this song is just about genitalia and racial stereotyping, as if having sex with a man (who happens to be Spanish) who has a huge horse cock would be way too painful and they should get off that ride... maybe find a pony instead, or just a dirty little dog. Jordan: Wow, that was a really graphic analysis Mike. CMG: Michael totally turned this x-rated; all I wanted to know was whether the song was about cowboys or gay cowboys. Michael - where do you get the Spain bit from? I must have missed that. Michael: In the beginning of the song Spencer sings, “So you need me to say that I’m sorry / That someone undressed me as professed to me / In Spain with their eyes.” One other thing I like about the song is how it switches characters. The verse that starts “the Casanova ran...”; this is the voice of the camera, to use a film analogy. It describes the characters and the scene, and the song is elevated from a personal confession to something more literary. CMG: “I am no horseman / and you are no angel.” Who is the non-angel? Michael: The character being apologized to. I take this expression as a way of giving a human face to the (sometimes) divine expectations of love. The point being that honesty is better than trying to be perfect in an imperfect world. |
