Riff: The Lumineers – “Ho Hey”

Jan 17, 2013

(Ho) I don’t think you’re right for him (Hey)/Look at what might have been

from Ho Hey lyrics by The Lumineers

The borderline anthemic “ho, heys” that punctuate The Lumineers’ breakthrough hit may elicit a rustic shindig, but the lyrics are an altogether different matter. A sense of infinite regret pervades as Schultz rather maliciously serenades to a long lost lover, “Look at what might have been.” Ouch.
