Isabelle Mojica you're not the only one. I always feel like I come back to their music when I feel down. It helps me fnd strength to keep moving forward
I’m almost 45 years old, my son who is 20 years younger than me, introduced me to The Killers about 5 years ago when we were driving to Arkansas from Oklahoma. He played Prize Fighter and told me it reminded him of me💙 His father and I have been married for 26 years. 7-8 years ago his father got into a fist fight with another man and unfortunately the other man died and his father was sentenced to prison for manslaughter. During our drive to Arkansas I was already won over with Prize Fighter and then he said this song reminds me of u and dad and he played Dustland Fairytale 💙 To me it was as if The Killers were writing songs about our life and I became an instant fan!!!! Then in 2019 I heard that The Killers were coming to Oklahoma City and I immediately ordered tickets for us!!! It’s been a year this month since that concert and it was by far the best concert ever that either one of us have attended!!! They even played this song!!! The Killers music is something that my son and I will always share and love!! No matter what kind of hell is going on in our lives we can turn on The Killers and it’s as if everything is alright. So I just wanted to tell The Killers that Stacey & Slade Tosh from Oklahoma City are their biggest fans and that their music means more than words can say to us and for that we’d like to offer the most sincerest thank you!!!! We hope they’ll come back to Okc again soon cause we will certainly be there!!!!!!!! 💙 The Killers 💙
Slade Tosh I love u too son!!! Can’t wait till The Killers come in concert again bcuz u know we’ll be going!! Idc if I’m 90 and ur 70 years old if they’re here in concert we will be attending as long as we’re alive 😂!!!!!!!!
They seem like a band that can cross so many supposed barriers. They were inspired by my fellow Brits, but produce a unique and truly American element. Their authenticity is their best selling point. They are a band that are easy to fall in love with.
this is actually dedicated to his parents and their love for each other all these decades and also his mother suffered a brain tumor hence the words "Now the kingdom is under siege.." and how their love got stronger through this traumatic time.
Lyrics: A Dustland fairytale beginning With just another white trash county kiss In '61, long brown hair and foolish eyes He looked just like you'd want him to Some kind of slick chrome American prince A blue jean serenade Moon River what'd you do to me I don't believe you Saw Cinderella in a party dress but She was looking for a night gown I saw the devil wrapping up his hands He's getting ready for the showdown I saw the minute that I turned away I got my money on a pawn tonight The change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire She said she'd always knew he'd come around And the decades disappear like sinking ships, but we persevere God gives us hope, but we still fear what we don't know The mind is poison Castles in the sky sit stranded vandalized We're drawbridges closing Saw Cinderella in a party dress But she was looking for a nightgown I saw the devil wrapping up his hands He's getting ready for the showdown I saw the ending when they turned the page I threw my money and I ran away Straight to the valley of the great divide Out where the dreams all hide Out where the wind don't blow Out here the good girls die And the sky won't snow Out here the bird don't sing Out here the field don't grow Out here the bell don't ring Out here the bell don't ring Out here the good girls die Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep It's such a bitter form of refuge Why don't you know the kingdom's under siege And everybody needs you Is there still magic in the midnight sun Or did you leave it back in sixty-one In the cadence of a young man's eyes Out where the dreams all hide
A Dustland Fairytale beginning With just another white trash county kiss In ‘61 Long brown hair and foolish eyes He looked just like you'd want him to Some kind of slick chrome American prince A Blue Jean serenade Moon River, what'd you do to me? I don't believe you Saw Cinderella in a party dress But she was looking for a nightgown I saw the devil wrapping up his hands, He's getting ready for the showdown. I saw the minute that I turned away, I got my money on a pawn tonight. A change came in disguise of revelation Set his soul on fire. She said she always knew he'd come around And the decades disappear Like sinking ships but we persevere God gives us hope, but we still fear what we don't know Your mind is poisoned Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalized. The drawbridge is closing Saw Cinderella in a party dress But she was looking for a nightgown I saw the devil wrapping up his hands He's getting ready for the showdown. I saw the ending when they turned the page I threw my money and I ran away Straight to the valley of the great divide Out where the dreams all hide Out where the wind don't blow Out here the good girls die And the sky won't snow Out here the bird don't sing Out here the field don't grow Out here the bell don't ring Out here the bell don't ring Out here the good girls die Now Cinderella, don't you go to sleep It's such a bitter form of refuge Why don't you know the kingdom's under siege And everybody needs you. Is there still magic in the midnight sun Or did you leave it back in '61? In the cadence of a young man's eyes Out where the dreams all hide
I think this is a perfect example of a music video, it tells a interesting story, it follows the lyrics without transcribing what it says and it shows the band without breaking the flow of the narriative.
Can't believe it's been five years. If I close my eyes I can still see when my mom walked in and told me grandma had passed. I just couldn't cry. I sat in my room and for three days I had Dustland Fairytale on repeat helplessly trying to fix everything that went wrong, until I eventually accepted my Cinderella had left for her better kingdom. Without the song I just wouldn't have made it. I'm grateful for it.
They’re both great in their own ways obviously but listening to this and the Bruce collab back to back makes you realise how much Brandon’s voice has matured and improved over the years. Vocally he’s on a whole other level now
Yeah. It's crazy seeing those two together. Bruce Springsteen still performs at a top level at his age but Brandon is in his prime It felt like watching him pass the torch in a way. Brandon is a true rockstar
+theeab1993 When I was in middle school. A teacher in class said her daughter was into the killers and the whole class went "ewwwwww!" and I thought "What's so wrong about them?
the killers are so underappreciated. i bawled my eyes out when I saw them live and they actually played For Reasons Unknown. Brandon's lyricism has always had the ability to take me to dark place just to show me the light.
I listened to this song religiously in my youth. Never cried once. I heard the song for the first time live in 2017. I immediately starting bawling. I was a MESS. Uncontrollable tears. Now, every time I hear it, my throat closes up lol. Never had a song do me so damn dirty.
Youre not the only one. Romeo and juliet cover got me as well bc they describe my relationship 10 yrs ago. When i graduated hs. They hit me then but they're so memorable even now. I just like reminiscing
I'm such a big fan of the colors and totally never heard this song. It came out at a time of my life when I was moving back to the United States from living in Europe. For the next two years I had to play catch up and build a life back in the States and completely miss this song. And I'm in my kitchen procrastinating on working out and crying
My favorite song by The Killers. Even if I haven't heard it in a while and kind of forget how it goes, I can go back and listen and it becomes my favorite all over again. :)
Dumbledoresarmy13 just heard this the other day and it had to have been 7-8 years since Id heard it. Instantly brought me back to 10 years ago. Fucking crazy how time flies and We go from kids to old in the blink of an eye.
Ever since 7th grade, this has been one of my favorite songs. This song just keeps me going and makes me realize how much I've grown. The Killers will always have a place in my heart and itunes. God bless x
Change came in disguise of revelations set his soul on fire, she said she always knew he'd come around and the decades disapear like sinking ships we persevere, god gives us hope but we still fear, we don't know, my mind poisoned.. ❤
This song has so much emotion---i love how everyone who knows this song can apply this song to different points in their lives, especially when they've been through something hard. It's amazing what the killers can do...
+Jn gn funny how i compare the two bands, not on their level of success but on how i think they have very good songs that sounds differently (according to me) between each other (and im not a beetles fan)
To say the Beatles are overrated is ridiculous. They created the blueprint from which virtually all other bands since have followed. Their influence over popular music is so gargantuan it can't ever be quantified. Most artists today, from any genre, will cite them as a direct influence, or at least as an influence on the artists that influenced them. Long rant but I really hate it when people say the Beatles are overrated.
Out where the dreams don't hide, out where the wind don't blow, i heard the good girls die and the sky won't snow. Out here the bell don't sing, i hear the field don't grow,out hear the bell don't ring....i heard the good girls die, now cinderella don't u go to sleep? it's such bitter form of refuge, don't you know the kingdom is underseage and everybody needs you. .......
I already told my husband to play this song for my funeral. such a powerful song, my most fav song in entire world. I hope he really remembers to play it when I die.
"Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep. It's such a bitter form of refuge. Aw don't you know the kingdom's under siege and everybody needs you?" Perfect funeral song ❤
This is without a doubt my favorite of The Killers. I love everything about this song; the lyrics, tune, story and mv. This is one of the most beautiful songs ever.
This song always makes me cry. Reminds me of my mom although she couldn't have grown up farther from USA. But I also cry for myself turning 50 having lived a fake life without love and adventures.
I interpret this song in one way, and one way only - that this song has something to do with Brandon' mother's death from Cancer. I lost my dad recently to that same disgusting illness, and through this song, I understand exactly what he felt. This outrageously amazing song makes me cry every time, gives me everlasting goose bumps; especially when I heard them live, and I feel more and more proud that I am a Victim with every single time I hear this song, and the lyrics. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think the only part that he talks a bout his mom is when he says "Out here the good girls die" and "Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep, it's such a bitter form of refuge"
JuanjoMC10 In fairness, Brandon himself has said this song is about losing his mother to cancer after a 2 year battle. Cindarella is his mother in this song... And I think it's just all those emotions pouring out.. He's clearly angry at the world that one of the "good girls" died... and I believe the majority of that verse about how the fields don't grow, the birds don't sing and the bells don't ring is a play on the baroness of the desert around Vegas but also how he feels since her passing... He can't hear the birds singing or the bells ringing anymore... he feels such a gap in his life that the grass doesn't even grow anymore...
The song "good night, travel well" is also about his mother's passing. It's very touching and devastating. Definitely one of my favorites. These guys are poets.
Your right when I saw them he said befoure playing he said something about his mother it there's no place deep enough for my mum something like that but more emosional
A perfect example of a perfect song with a video that perfectly compliments it. Perfectly cast and directed. And did I mention it's a perfect song, too?
Belated comment I usually listen to The Killers. Lately, I watched their videos too. I absolutely love how Ronnie pours his heart and soul into the music. He always rocks it !
This songs means a lot to me. It gives me shivers of nostalgia and regret. I heard this when I was, for the first time, mentally broken and it made me weep constantly. It still makes me feel strong emotions, but I've since grown into a stronger man. Thank you for this touching song. It will forever be etched in my heart.
Amazing and beautiful!! 2 words to describe this video/song. This song will always live on inside my heart. This music video tells a story, one moment can change your life forever ❤
In my eyes there are ok songs, good songs, great songs, and then special songs. And not a lot of songs make it into that last category, and this is one of them.
This one is a tearjerker if I catch it at the right time. My husband introduced me to The Killers in 2013 and I distinctly remember the first time I really heard this song and focused on the lyrics and was blown away. My husband just lost his mother a few months ago and I can't listen to this without thinking of her. Nobody writes songs from the heart and ones that touch the heart and soul quite like Brandon.
No mamen ese piano al inicio me mata! The killers desde siempre sus rolas y videos los mejores!! No tienen madre! Los amo!!! 💘💘Brandon Flowers i love u!💘💘
This is an incredible music video. It correlates so well with the lyrics and the music, and it is sung and played so passionately that it is very emotive. It is definitely a work of art.
I am only now discovering his song,s and I find that I have to listen to each one of them over and over and over again... and still can't get enough....
Sometimes when people are livin the high life, some people a few try to get to them. Never let it happen to my Killers, our Killers. You say what we think in the best way and beautifully and one of a kind. Never forget the first time i heard ya. Thanks and keep on bringing it.
“Now Cinderella don’t you go to sleep, it’s such a bitter form of refuge, oh don’t you know the kingdom’s under siege & everybody needs you?” This song reminds me of my mom. Especially that line. Been almost ten years since she passed. Crazy how time flies. But still miss her.
I remember when this first came out I teared up when you start to realize exactly what happened and you see the shots of him in the pool, he had a lot of time to think about what he did and how he threw his life away
The way I interpret the song.......... is were young, we live and learn and love.....and sometimes our actions become the biggest mistakes of our lives. We hope that the destruction of our dreams or our love can be repaired but sometimes and most times it cant. our mistakes echo through time, you cant erase them you can only learn to live with them........... live with them..................LIVE.
It's about his mom's cancer. Hence the final stanza "now Cinderella don't you go to sleep, it's such a bitter form of refuge. Why don't you know the kingdom is under siege, and everybody needs you. Is there still magic in the midnight sun, or did you leave it back on 61'? In the cadence of a young man's eyes, where the dreams all hide" he wants her to not give up and let go, that everybody needs her and he's wondering if there's still hope left - "or did you leave it back in 69' in the cadence of a young man's eye, where the dreams all hide" - specifically his fathers hope for her. I suck at explaining it through text so sorry if I don't make sense
Mind blowing and emotions are stirred for sure One of their best songs imho Has very deep meanings Brandon's voice soothes my soul. Love him, them beyond words. ~ Peace, light, love and music! ❤🎶❤🎶❤

Right!?
Having been born in '81, it's an interesting choice

Elaborate
Where were u in 61?
The Killers always manage to make me cry.

I think prize fighter is so romantic. It's one of my favorites and no one hardly mentions it.
Dammit - This is supposed to be background music while I do other things but the video is so good I just sit and watch it from start to finish
Rob Lifely I swear man
Saaame
I'm supposed to be writing a college essay but damnit, I can't look away
Rob Lifely and end up crying in the process
Rob Lifely me @ every of their music videos and brandon's solo music videos
Love how it's dedicated to his parents.
Umm what??!! Damn
It was wrote about his mom!!
this is actually dedicated to his parents and their love for each other all these decades and also his mother suffered a brain tumor hence the words "Now the kingdom is under siege.." and how their love got stronger through this traumatic time.

Lyrics:
A Dustland fairytale beginning
With just another white trash county kiss
In '61, long brown hair and foolish eyes
He looked just like you'd want him to
Some kind of slick chrome American prince
A blue jean serenade
Moon River what'd you do to me
I don't believe you
Saw Cinderella in a party dress but
She was looking for a night gown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He's getting ready for the showdown
I saw the minute that I turned away
I got my money on a pawn tonight
The change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire
She said she'd always knew he'd come around
And the decades disappear like sinking ships, but we persevere
God gives us hope, but we still fear what we don't know
The mind is poison
Castles in the sky sit stranded vandalized
We're drawbridges closing
Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He's getting ready for the showdown
I saw the ending when they turned the page
I threw my money and I ran away
Straight to the valley of the great divide
Out where the dreams all hide
Out where the wind don't blow
Out here the good girls die
And the sky won't snow
Out here the bird don't sing
Out here the field don't grow
Out here the bell don't ring
Out here the bell don't ring
Out here the good girls die
Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep
It's such a bitter form of refuge
Why don't you know the kingdom's under siege
And everybody needs you
Is there still magic in the midnight sun
Or did you leave it back in sixty-one
In the cadence of a young man's eyes
Out where the dreams all hide
Deisy *where
A Dustland Fairytale beginning
With just another white trash county kiss
In ‘61
Long brown hair and foolish eyes
He looked just like you'd want him to
Some kind of slick chrome American prince
A Blue Jean serenade
Moon River, what'd you do to me?
I don't believe you
Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands,
He's getting ready for the showdown.
I saw the minute that I turned away,
I got my money on a pawn tonight.
A change came in disguise of revelation
Set his soul on fire.
She said she always knew he'd come around
And the decades disappear
Like sinking ships but we persevere
God gives us hope, but we still fear what we don't know
Your mind is poisoned
Castles in the sky sit stranded, vandalized.
The drawbridge is closing
Saw Cinderella in a party dress
But she was looking for a nightgown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He's getting ready for the showdown.
I saw the ending when they turned the page
I threw my money and I ran away
Straight to the valley of the great divide
Out where the dreams all hide
Out where the wind don't blow
Out here the good girls die
And the sky won't snow
Out here the bird don't sing
Out here the field don't grow
Out here the bell don't ring
Out here the bell don't ring
Out here the good girls die
Now Cinderella, don't you go to sleep
It's such a bitter form of refuge
Why don't you know the kingdom's under siege
And everybody needs you.
Is there still magic in the midnight sun
Or did you leave it back in '61?
In the cadence of a young man's eyes
Out where the dreams all hide
Chloe Alexandra Thanks, I already corrected it :)
I think this is a perfect example of a music video, it tells a interesting story, it follows the lyrics without transcribing what it says and it shows the band without breaking the flow of the narriative.
Yeap that is the perfect description of this incredible great video.
this goes down in history as the last meaningful song that the Killers produced. RIP a great band while they lasted

"The decades disappear like sinking ships" - That's poetry. To the aged.
One of the best songs ever, also underrated Killers song..
true
Agreed
Not anymore
“Saw Cinderella in a party dress” segment goes hard I love this song so much
If this was a movie 10/10 will watch
Well, I'm writing a novel that is partially inspired by this song, especially the music video. Hopefully 10/10 will read.
Not bad I'm looking forward to it. Link me the piece when you're done :)
+Jarod McCormick link me too ayyy
I would definitely read it!
still waiting brah x)
The Killers' music videos are a whole new level of art
This tells a better story in 5 minutes than many movies do in two hours.
Can't believe it's been five years. If I close my eyes I can still see when my mom walked in and told me grandma had passed. I just couldn't cry. I sat in my room and for three days I had Dustland Fairytale on repeat helplessly trying to fix everything that went wrong, until I eventually accepted my Cinderella had left for her better kingdom. Without the song I just wouldn't have made it. I'm grateful for it.

Well then.
+Florriela My grandma passed August 27th 2015 I know the feels.

RIGHT!? I showed Dustland to my friends and they refer to it exclusively as “roadkill” but then again they’re mother mother fans so what do they know?
Yeah. It's crazy seeing those two together. Bruce Springsteen still performs at a top level at his age but Brandon is in his prime
It felt like watching him pass the torch in a way. Brandon is a true rockstar

"Don't you see the kingdom is under seige? And everybody needs you!"
As a father, this phrase hits home hard.
drives me crazy when people say the Killers sucked post Hot Fuss

The Killers are the most underrated band.
They are and for awhile have bene one of the biggest bands in the world. They sell out arenas. WTF are you on?
So, so true!!
You spelled the national wrong
14 million views. That's like, very far away from underrated.
Hmm.. only for those blind to great music
The killers always know how to bring nolstagia that we weren't even around for
I was born in 1960.This band brings nostalgia for time that THEY were not around for.....
I was 1971....but I get your point.
Most underrated comment about The Killers. Ever.
Class bands, have a class front man!
and not even they were around, mature I mean..
Change came in disguise of revelations set his soul on fire, she said she always knew he'd come around
and the decades disapear like sinking ships we persevere, god gives us hope but we still fear, we don't know, my mind poisoned.. ❤
Aren't their lyrics just the absolute best!! Sooo poetic!!!

How was this song not more popular? I can't stop listening to it...the lyrics are great...the whole thing just is amazing.
What I like most about The Killers is that he sings with emotion but doesn't show it all the time
theguywholives007 he as in Brandon
That's Brandon for you he does it a lot in mr bright side to
Definitely my favorite Killers song and that's not an easy thing to accomplish considering all their songs are great.

These guys write some really amazing songs. Also Brandon Flowers has a very admirable vocal skills. Great tunes man
I've heard this is about the lead singers mom dying, but I can't let go of how it parallels the outsiders so much

This song always makes me cry. Reminds me of my mom although she couldn't have grown up farther from USA. But I also cry for myself turning 50 having lived a fake life without love and adventures.
This is the band I’ve been searching for all my life, worth the wait!
Welcome home!
I just saw them live and I cried when they played this song
great example why The Killers are streets ahead

YESSSSSS
still one of their best songs.
I interpret this song in one way, and one way only - that this song has something to do with Brandon' mother's death from Cancer. I lost my dad recently to that same disgusting illness, and through this song, I understand exactly what he felt. This outrageously amazing song makes me cry every time, gives me everlasting goose bumps; especially when I heard them live, and I feel more and more proud that I am a Victim with every single time I hear this song, and the lyrics. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I think the only part that he talks a bout his mom is when he says "Out here the good girls die" and "Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep, it's such a bitter form of refuge"
JuanjoMC10 In fairness, Brandon himself has said this song is about losing his mother to cancer after a 2 year battle. Cindarella is his mother in this song... And I think it's just all those emotions pouring out.. He's clearly angry at the world that one of the "good girls" died... and I believe the majority of that verse about how the fields don't grow, the birds don't sing and the bells don't ring is a play on the baroness of the desert around Vegas but also how he feels since her passing... He can't hear the birds singing or the bells ringing anymore... he feels such a gap in his life that the grass doesn't even grow anymore...
The song "good night, travel well" is also about his mother's passing. It's very touching and devastating. Definitely one of my favorites. These guys are poets.
Your right when I saw them he said befoure playing he said something about his mother it there's no place deep enough for my mum something like that but more emosional
"There ain't no grave deep enough to keep my momma outta my equation" i think it was?
A perfect example of a perfect song with a video that perfectly compliments it. Perfectly cast and directed. And did I mention it's a perfect song, too?
Belated comment I usually listen to The Killers. Lately, I watched their videos too. I absolutely love how Ronnie pours his heart and soul into the music. He always rocks it !
3:47 right there the song gets powerfull! Love this song!!!
Yaaassss
main actor, what a guy!! believe him from start to finish and the video makes half the song
This is the song Brandon said he's most proud of.
The Killers always are able to deliver when they make their music videos. Bravo.
The lyrics are special. This is Bruce Springsteen-quality lyrics. Brandon Flowers and the Killers are the new American poets of music.
12 years this song was released, amazing, underrated song
My favorite part is from 0:01- 5:03 😍
0:00 is good too
Hilarious and original
I hate 0:00 too

2017 mate
i prefer this version of grease
I literally just spat my tea all over my monitor :D HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hahahaha, Guilty pleasure I still love Grease
Jajaj que boludo
This video reminds me of the movie Heavenly Kid. 🙂🥰
This songs means a lot to me. It gives me shivers of nostalgia and regret. I heard this when I was, for the first time, mentally broken and it made me weep constantly. It still makes me feel strong emotions, but I've since grown into a stronger man. Thank you for this touching song. It will forever be etched in my heart.
History will look upon The Killers as one of the most overlooked and underrated groups of all time
" god gives us hope but we still fear what we don't know the mind is poison " how true is that?
Amazing and beautiful!! 2 words to describe this video/song. This song will always live on inside my heart. This music video tells a story, one moment can change your life forever ❤
In my eyes there are ok songs, good songs, great songs, and then special songs. And not a lot of songs make it into that last category, and this is one of them.
The killers are just the best band. All of their songs are amazing.
This one is a tearjerker if I catch it at the right time. My husband introduced me to The Killers in 2013 and I distinctly remember the first time I really heard this song and focused on the lyrics and was blown away. My husband just lost his mother a few months ago and I can't listen to this without thinking of her. Nobody writes songs from the heart and ones that touch the heart and soul quite like Brandon.
"God gives us hope, but we still fear." So true!
Love the last 2 minutes especially the middle part 3:15-3:50. I wish there was an extended version
This is on my top 3 of The Killers songs, without any doubt. Listening to it on live has been one of my favourite moments of my whole life 💙🔝
No mamen ese piano al inicio me mata! The killers desde siempre sus rolas y videos los mejores!! No tienen madre! Los amo!!! 💘💘Brandon Flowers i love u!💘💘
si tienes razon
Esta canción se la dedico a mi padre que acaba de fallecer, descansa en paz papá te amaré siempre 💔
3:14-3:50 is just too perfect. The Killers will forever hold its place in history as the most lyrically perfect band of all time
You know how there's a series of songs for Mr. Brightside? I would love to see a series unfold with A Dustland Fairytale.
Love this song, up there with the best they have ever done
Completely agree. My favorite!
I love this band more than I love myself. I'm not even joking..
#TheKillers4Life
Me too
facts
This is an incredible music video. It correlates so well with the lyrics and the music, and it is sung and played so passionately that it is very emotive. It is definitely a work of art.
2024 y sigue siendo la mejor canción de The Killers.
2024 y sigue siendo el mejor videoclip de la historia.
So many emotions. This is one beautiful song, coupled with a heartbreaking music video.
The Killers one of those great vintage old soul type bands. The reason they underrated is because they don’t fit in much with the new era
the lyrics are just mindblowing.
masterpiece
I am only now discovering his song,s and I find that I have to listen to each one of them over and over and over again... and still can't get enough....
Literally every sentence in this song can be it's own story. This song is so beautiful :)
Sometimes when people are livin the high life, some people a few try to get to them. Never let it happen to my Killers, our Killers. You say what we think in the best way and beautifully and one of a kind. Never forget the first time i heard ya. Thanks and keep on bringing it.
Brandon flowers has the voice of an angel
2024😍💪anyone?
Normally I hate these kind of comments but I love seeing that someone is watching this in 2024!
You betcha! Was long overdue to listen to/watch the video again.
Me
Ofc 2025 soon too
From Helsinki 🎉
Keep up the happiness dinks. You don’t need anyone, people are lucky to be around you xx
This song will change your perspective on life
Definitely it will
“Now Cinderella don’t you go to sleep, it’s such a bitter form of refuge, oh don’t you know the kingdom’s under siege & everybody needs you?” This song reminds me of my mom. Especially that line. Been almost ten years since she passed. Crazy how time flies. But still miss her.
I always say the same thing when I run across this song…. Fantastic song and extremely underrated! Here again in 2021!
I personally think this is one of their more under-rated tunes
There is as much magic in the mid-night sun as their is courage and confidence in a shot-glass of rye.
I will never forget the compassion you showed hubris. It was your gifts that gave me the gumption and it is your daughter's world now.
I remember when this first came out I teared up when you start to realize exactly what happened and you see the shots of him in the pool, he had a lot of time to think about what he did and how he threw his life away
One of the best storytellers. 💕
Who else is this favourite killers song❤❤
This is so my Grandma and papa's song..they took care of each other no matter what obstacles they came by. :) I love The Killers.
Oh my god , I love them so much that it's not even possible to love them more.
where I have to go to find such beautiful girls and with such good taste in music!?
Well, I don't know about beautiful girls, but I'm from the Czech republic :).
" if i go on with you by my side, can it be
the way it was when we met?
did you forget all about those golden nights? "
Nicolas Espinosa Amazing song too, they're really perfect.
The way I interpret the song.......... is were young, we live and learn and love.....and sometimes our actions become the biggest mistakes of our lives. We hope that the destruction of our dreams or our love can be repaired but sometimes and most times it cant. our mistakes echo through time, you cant erase them you can only learn to live with them........... live with them..................LIVE.

It's about his mom's cancer. Hence the final stanza "now Cinderella don't you go to sleep, it's such a bitter form of refuge. Why don't you know the kingdom is under siege, and everybody needs you. Is there still magic in the midnight sun, or did you leave it back on 61'? In the cadence of a young man's eyes, where the dreams all hide" he wants her to not give up and let go, that everybody needs her and he's wondering if there's still hope left - "or did you leave it back in 69' in the cadence of a young man's eye, where the dreams all hide" - specifically his fathers hope for her. I suck at explaining it through text so sorry if I don't make sense
+Christian Sanchez you explain it very well! :)
The Killers are just something else. Not afraid to experiment with styles. Nail it every time.
Mind blowing and emotions are stirred for sure
One of their best songs imho
Has very deep meanings
Brandon's voice soothes my soul.
Love him, them beyond words.
~ Peace, light, love and music!
