Available now:smarturl.it/BFl... Music video by Brandon Flowers performing I Can Change. (C) 2015 Island Records, a division of UMG Recordings, Inc. www.vevo.com/wa...
This is a masterclass in stamping an 80s beat in the modern day. I truly admire Flowers as an artist, and respect not only the work that he has put in over the years to expand his vocal range, but also the creative experimentation of his music. It never feels like experimentation for its own sake to seem different, or edgy, but shows how rooted it is in the musical influences he had growing up, and his love of them. Being the same age as him, hearing Bronski beat sampled, Tennant in here, and the many 80s covers Flowers does live, it's brilliantly nostalgic, and refreshing, and he's taking youngsters to a great musical place they may not have gone to otherwise; given how talentless, vacuous, sexualised and sterile the modern music industry is now. Hats off to the man!
This was playing at McDonalds. Googled the lyrics while I was eating my BigMac. Put it to play on TH-cam. Started crying. Saddest meal I had in my life. Great song, Brandon Flowers is the hero for all the guys who work for a relationship. I salute you, Sir.
@@RJordan0220 It's both, and very ambiguous about this. It's saying that the sacrifice of change is needed for a relationship too. Please don't speak in totality.
En ‘I Can Change’, Brandon Flowers rinde homenaje al single de 1984 de Bronski Beat, ‘Smalltown Boy’. La canción cuenta además con un breve cameo de Neil Tennant de Pet Shop Boys. El video se grabó en las actuaciones en directo de Flowers en el Brixton Academy de Londres el pasado mes de mayo. Es el cuarto single de su exitosísimo ‘The Desired Effect’.
Primero había escuchado la canción de Brandon, y hoy escuché la que mencionas, y automáticamente me arrojó a esta hermosa canción "I Can Change" y leí tu comentario, todo está conectado :O
I sing this to myself anytime I’m going thru something hard and I know I’m gonna need to grow and change as a person to handle the situation appropriately
I like the message of this song. I consistently try to change everyday. To change is to become better, to become holier, to become more Christ like. Thank God for Brandon Flowers.
Hoy escuché este tema por primera vez en la radio y me dije "cómo puede ser que jamás oí semejante joya de los ´80?" Luego de investigar, me entero que es un tema del 2015. Increíble hallazgo.
I wish so badly for a real conversation with Brandon Flowers about him, his life, and his music. I want to know down to every little detail. His music is my soundtrack.
This should be a single.. Leave your like .. Only this lyric video will surpass to Can't Deny My Love, Still Want You and Lonely Town... This deserves a video!
you always surprise me!! seriously, I have zero words for this!! I am a proud victim - flowers, and nobody CAN CHANGE that!! I love you and you are doing an amazing work!! you never defraud your real fans!
On the first listening I was thinking this song is a sort of remix/mashup like...I was totally wrong! This song is a masterpiece and the video amazing! Thanks Brandon!
This guy is brilliant! Not sure how he’s not gone to the top everywhere!!?? I love watching his sing and move and live his music. He has meaningful lyrics You’re a muso with a brain Brandon.
smalltown boy was hands down one of the best yet underrated 80s songs so it's fitting it's being sampled by one of the current best yet underrated artists, also luv there was a cameo by bronski beat!
I feel like this video made the song even better haha. With a lot of his songs I feel like it seems strange and different at first, especially this one, but the more I hear it and with the visual as well, I realize how much it really works. This is actually growing to be one of my favorites from the album :)
I want duet between Brandon and Neil Tennant in this great song! Brandon, I does not understand how Neil has such a fleeting participation in this sensational song.
I really like the visual sort of "80s revival"! My little girl and I always talk bout "living in the 80s" and how she wishes she had grown up in that era. It was a simpler more carefree for me too so I appreciate any music that takes me to that place. I really relate to the lyrics "I can change " because I understand what it's like to always be adaptable to any environment simply because of my curious nature and never really being a person "set in my ways" because I enjoy always learning something new simply for just gaining whatever knowledge I can in this mortal life . Also that Empathic nature allows the adaptability since it's easy to sense the feelings of those near me.. However I'm going to be completely honest here in that I don't think a person should have to really change their intrinsic nature and spirit to be with someone-even if they have the gift and ability and nature to that adaptability.. It's a great professional trait but in intimate relationships , for me anyway , I've learned that I'd rather be able to be who I am and the person that the Lord intended me to be and be able to express myself and the gifts that I've been given and have someone be ok with that. I guess after all the years and all the experiences and all the people I've met and places I've been.. I guess my "ideal" would be to find someone who has been broken or wounded in similar ways as I have so that we could heal and grow and love each other better. Most people might be looking for perfection but I'm not.. I'm looking for someone I can work toward perfection with and for me for some reason I'm so attracted to the "wounded soul" that needs both love and nurturing as well as the Atonement to heal. I don't want to have to change before someone will love me. I don't want to change anyone either . People can grow together . I really appreciate the music and words and melodic musings as it really helps me to put my own life into perspective .. Music can heal .. People can heal.. The Lord can use our natural gifts to heal us and others so thank you for using your gifts to help people like me to heal and put my own life into perspective. God bless you with peace, positivity, humor, love and laughter! 😇👍🏼👍🏼
Can't stop listening:) Btw - I wouldn't want anyone to change for me. Don't pretend, don't adapt, think by urself, u feel it all in ur heart -concerns everything, EVERYTHING.
that's so true. why would you wanna change? that's weakness. actually, long time ago, I said I can change for you to my girlfriend and she dumped me anyway🤣 still love Brandon though
YO TE BANCO BRANDON !!!! Tanto me gusta tu musica que un cachorro que rescate de la calle se llama Brandon !!!!... During my breakfast I listen your music, every day!!! from here in ARGENTINA I say ....go, BRANDON, go !!!!!... congrats an thank you !!!!!!

Very well stated, a comment that much though has gone into.
How can I concentrate on those lyrics when theres Brandon Flowers in the background! God he is so handsome!!!
He's just so distracting :p
Anicqua Smitt He is just like wine, gets better with age!
Anicqua Smitt Absolutely right!
Anicqua Smitt no man looks good with a moustache lol
Lovely Rita
Brandon Flowers style in music is very 80s something we need in this time! Its like an escape from the same old crap.
Exactly felt like that when I first heard it via radio
I've played this song a 10,000 times and i still love it so much
Yus
Every day... oooh pure joy 💛💫🧡🍀🌟🎶
Me too!
me too, but I Can't change :D

oh 💗💜💗
This isn't healthy relationship advice. It's more a song of how people lose themselves in relationships to please someone else.

this is toxic, always trying to be accepted, always giving the first step....

I love how he is taking me back to the 80s. This song is just aweome.
Brandon Flowers one of the best vocalist's in the world^^

Ditto
What a beautiful song, once again Neil Tennant has sprinkled his magic dust on a composition to bring out the best of its individual components.
Definitely an 80s vibe going on.... love anything he and the Killers do. He is a musical genius
That is a belter. Total respect to the Smalltown Boy sample, which it deserves. Powerful and anthemic. Brilliant.
Epic song I love the twist on the Bronski Beat classic!! Brandon is such a hottie
it can hold a proper driving list for sure
DramaticMac OMG I WATCH YOU !!!!!!
DramaticMac thank you, I thought I was crazy, I kept insisting it was Bronsky Beat "Tell Me Why"
@@robertbruce5213 It's actually Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat. I found this link from the TuneFind for Insatiable TV series. Love Bronski Beat!
Just coming back to this song 5 years on still amazes me how this wasn't a major hit
Bravo Brandon!! The Desired Effect is perfect!!! And this song is one of my favorites!!
How can anyone say this album isn't good? It is perfection right? :D
Jade Harvey :D :D
Brandon Flowers is the best!!!
Swald G. Agree!!!!
La mejor music. ;)
Neil Tennant apparing at 1:57: great moment!
Pet shot boys!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏!!!
Siii, eso me impresionó mucho, qué ganas de llorar ❤
Wow only just realised it is Tenant. I thought who is the man it looks like pet shop boy man
@@liliann7725 shop*

2:24 is my favorite part. Interesting moves there Brandon haha
This is amazing!!! My fave song ever is smalltown boy. He really does it justice. And then to get Neil tenant in the video. Brilliant!
Que lindo! Nunca tinha escutado e só conheci pela postagem recente do Pet Shop Boys. Amantes da boa música, podemos nos sentir homenageados!
Esse cara é sensacional...
Pet Shop Boys and Bronsky Beat :) Nice 80's......
Vvv
👏👏👏👏❤❤❤
He's done justice to smalltown boy and has created an absolute banger at the same time. Brandon can do no wrong!!!
Is it meant to like a recreation? Because I always thought the songs sounded similar (that's why I love both) 🤭
Is it meant to be a recreation? I always thought they both sounded similar (that's why I love both)
@@misscow_boots9985 well he sampled their hit, and it fits perfectly to his song and lyrics :)
The hell he has. This is garbage
I like the message of this song. I consistently try to change everyday. To change is to become better, to become holier, to become more Christ like. Thank God for Brandon Flowers.
I think I've been hypnotized even further. Favorite song of the album and favorite album. Brandon Flowers is a music genius.
Ahhhh this is everything I need!! 😍 Can't believe I am just now finding his amazing solo stuff. All the 80s-ness of this is just perfect. ☺
Hoy escuché este tema por primera vez en la radio y me dije "cómo puede ser que jamás oí semejante joya de los ´80?" Luego de investigar, me entero que es un tema del 2015. Increíble hallazgo.
El tema de fondo que usó Brandon si es de los 80's
Busca Smalltown boy
@@david_slaughter Ahora sí! Con razón me sonaba de muy atrás ese ritmo. Gracias por el dato.
Playing Brandon Flowers on loop for weeks now, and this one gets me dancing every time. Please don't ever stop making music, Brandon!
So 80's! I love it
Brandon Flowers is my spirit animal :P
you wish

This song makes me cry and dance at the same time! ♥
Gonna say this again and im not shy saying so. I have a pretty big man crush on brandon. But hell, this song is incredible.
You'd be mad not to
johnny Smith I don't blame you :), all the girls do so why not the boys?
***** after all, i look up to him because of his talent,. he wrote insane amount of great songs.
Are you fucking gay?
I don’t blame you at all he’s a beauty!❤️🔥
Brandon make a tour with your music pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! 😍😍😍😍😍
Even his lyric videos are magnificent!
Thank you Brandon.
He is not going to change for you, no body is gonna do so, but this song still rocks.
Oh, Brandon! You're what I'm looking for! ❤
This should be a single.. Leave your like .. Only this lyric video will surpass to Can't Deny My Love, Still Want You and Lonely Town... This deserves a video!
More thought and detail went into this lyric video than go into most finished promotional videos. Impressive.
Well, he sampled from an excellent song. Smalltown Boy is solid.
+blobbem He made me totally with it! So happy with this
you are so right
His voice, especially in this song, sounds so nice to my ears. Thanks man!
This album is SOO underrated!!!
you always surprise me!! seriously, I have zero words for this!! I am a proud victim - flowers, and nobody CAN CHANGE that!! I love you and you are doing an amazing work!! you never defraud your real fans!
This is a piece of the 80s! Amaazing!
These lyric videos are getting cooler and cooler. This one is awesome! Glad we got to see his face in there, too! :-)
Thank you Brandon - you're "THE MAN" and this song is some of your best work. Seriously what a way to capture the spirit of the 80's.
This song is incredible
This song, and Brandon Flowers (as a solo artist) as a whole, doesnt get the recognition and airtime he deserves.
brandon in slicked back hair and ray bans
Fr i aint even gay but id marry him
I heard a bit of this on a New York college radio station. You tubed it and now listen almost daily. Love this🥰
Awesome music and 80's inspired video!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏!!!!
80s inspired everything.....
Holy shit.
I heard this song like 2 years ago on MTV and I'm so glad I found it again!
Also I am now in love with Brandon Flowers
This is a pretty brilliant use of the actual Bronski Beat groove supporting Brandon's new track laid on top. Creativity plus ....
The Desired Effect is one of my favourite albums. It's never far away.
On the first listening I was thinking this song is a sort of remix/mashup like...I was totally wrong!
This song is a masterpiece and the video amazing! Thanks Brandon!
This guy is brilliant! Not sure how he’s not gone to the top everywhere!!??
I love watching his sing and move and live his music. He has meaningful lyrics
You’re a muso with a brain Brandon.
Run away, turn away, run away, turn away
dsequence What i thought as soon as it started.

+Eleanor Bennett

This is by far the most A E S T H E T I C thing ever created. Brandon never disappoints.
Such a very beautiful song no one can sing this better so perfect.

Damn this is good. It gives that pure 80-s vibe mmm...
When he says GIRRRLL!!!..... awwwww my favorite part.
Thank you for reintroducing Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy" to a new generation! A smash hit 30 years ago, in many countries except maybe in the US.
I love this song! It's my favorite. Brandon did a great job on this new album.
You don't need to change a thing, Brandon ;) rawr
Haha!
That "rawr" killed me haha
He's fine leame me some bones i'll be bappy
What a song tune just genius, Brandon Flowers rocks man!
The song brings so many memories..I really believed he could change for me...
I want duet between Brandon and Neil Tennant in this great song! Brandon, I does not understand how Neil has such a fleeting participation in this sensational song.
What is it with these songs they never get radio play nowadays
Brandon é mais que um cantor, é um poeta, que se conecta com minha alma, suas composições, o ritmo dos anos 80, perfeito!
This music video is really cool I love the low frame rate while he's singing with the piano it looks epic
Omg his whole album is amazing, he did an awesome job :)
