Cover art for Muchacho lyrics by Kings of Leon

This song is about appreciating what you've got, and dealing with loss.

Seems like he's got a really solid friend. One that regularly gives up his own comfort in order to make his 'riding partner' happy.

Muchacho is a spanish term referring to a young man, often a servent or companion.

The tone of this song makes it a little more interesting. The down-tempo style and the major seventh harmonies put a sense of stress or possibly even regret in the song. Maybe the protagonist didn't appreciate his Muchacho as much as he should have. Maybe he passed away. It's a little vague, and I like that.
