If someone notices this, I’m still alive and fighting depression
Literally everyone is fighting depression 24/7 we just hide it better and we don't voice it to the world.
@@invidia44 how healthy do you think that is ?
I believe in you, I just so happens to be suffering with ups and downs for multiple years, still don't see an out, but I know there will be one for all of us at some point!
don't give up!
YOU GOT THIS!!! OH YEAH
Glad you're here ❤
Ryuk is looking fabulous tonight.
The most beautiful shinigami
Oh lord!!!! Yessss you're rigth!
I thought it was a lobster
You killed me there without writing my name in your death note
Lmaoo 😂
This song has so many incredible lines, 'caught between the devil and the deep blue sea'
This song saved countless lives. If you REALLY listen to The Killers, then you know that their music is about life and not just music. Thank God for this band.
Yall are all wrong. And sorry I'm late, but no one important is ever on time. Simply, This is about, he got cloned. All are. This is just their confessing song like all have. The real ones find out the truth of paedophilia and adrenochrome(they were mormon, against that), and want out, but in this game, industry, there's no out. So they get cloned and originals unalived, and the elites can control and still get the revenues. It can be said in more words, but like I said, to simply put.
Hi
@@hamarboy1 Ok
Guess what
Thank Moroni
Don't know why, but I love the line "and the public don't dwell on my transmission because it wasn't televised."
my favorite part is when he sings the line "they say the nile use to run from east to west" ^w^
@@Smoke_Me_Away101 that's another great line :)
a person. Me too, I think it’s because where the song just gets loud and exciting
Omg me too this is the line
@Darryl I think that's why I love that lyric because I can relate.
1st listen in 2009: This is awesome!
11 years later: This is awesome!
THIS SONG PROMOTES TERRORISM. IT NEEDS TO BE TAKEN DOWN IMMEDIATELY.
the first listen of this song was in 2008
@@cloux4 thanx...but I discovered the band in the summer of 2009 so for me it was 2009 😛
The killers hit very strong, different and the most the positive way.
It was awesome watching them build the structure and watch the whole production. 12 years later I still comeback and watch this video. The Killers are great !!
They're such an underrated band.
frfr
wdym they're one of the most famous bands in the world lmao
There are people who are still here because this song was made. There are people who still exist because this song exists. If there was ever a more powerful example of, "Make art; it saves lives" I don't know what it is ♥
I was in a certain kind of hospital. They had a paper mural of marine life under waves. With the colored markers they allowed us to have I colored a beluga whale a royal dyed purle with a belly of beautiful gold using a bronze and then bright yellow marker. I colored two dolphins light blue and pink respectively, both with blushes on their cheeks. They were from a video game that I liked watching my girlfriend play, so when other young people (I was the youngest there in my early twenties) were admitted they knew someone was there, and that they could be alright.
Thank you for reading.
I love this song, the best killers song I say.
the fact that his face is super serious during the whole 'crazy' thing going around tells it all. this is a serious (and lovely) song. thank you, the killers.
Good point, never really thought about that.
I definitely agree and I'd go so far as to say it is a profoundly serious song that went over the heads of 99.9% of John and Jane Q. Public..
I was a agnostic scientist for 40 years, and it all changed three years ago as I dove into Quantum Mechanics (esp. Quantum Biology - see "Life the Universe and Everything" by Paul Davies), Human perception (sensory organs and brain cognition- see Donald Hoffman) and after many, many trips on DMT (makes LSD seem like weed)
I am quite certain the "Star Maker" is the "All Consciousness" behind everything. The "Dream Maker" is the "program" for our universe and the life forms that evolve in it, and the "Space Man" is the psychonaut (or perhaps many monks who use meditation alone to reach where I went on DMT) is person (people) who understand the "reality" we live in is NOT The Reality - our "reality" is all in our minds.
So, enjoy life's ride (for better or worse) and don't mind the maggots (ht to Mick Jagger's reference to the ugly in NY city in "Shattered).'

' Well, that's like, your opinion, man. '

Brandon Flowers giving off some serious Freddie Mercury vibes here.
I have autism. And while I wake up everyday and smile and help my coworkers, these thoughts race through my head at this time of night. About how dysfunctional I am, how different I perceive things. It is a painful thing when you can understand and sympathize with someone having a bad day, but you can't convey your own feelings and show them support. It hurts that everyday speaking to others is a struggle: I worry I'll say something to upset them. It hurts being brilliant on the inside, but being incapable of sharing my knowledge with others. The things I say or do, don't match what's in my head.
My boss doesn't understand why I thank her everyday for letting me work there. Most people like me are confined to low paying jobs, or unemployment, or even left to die in negligent abusive group homes. But somehow I work there, as a Licensed and Certified Pharmacy Technician.
Bill I feel the same. I am not autistic. I do not understand humans. I highly suggest you just dance it out 🙂 Hang in there
I always want to thank people for giving me the time of day because I feel I must be so difficult to handle. Thanks for posting this i have autism too and I have many of these same feelings. Been listening to this song on repeat for months now haha.
Related to Tyler1?
Bill Gene Soon My son has autism. He is not able to live alone or hold down a job, but thanks to him I am a much better person. There is nothing wrong with you; you are exactly who you should be. Hang in there!
Could somebody have a deep long conversation with you or no
haven’t cried to a song in a while. i vividly remember watching this music video when i was younger and genuinely thinking it was about aliens based on the name of the song and just being drawn to the costumes and the sound of it. coming back to it after so long, older, and understanding it and relating to it and just thinking of how as a kid i didn’t understand the meaning to it, the lyrics hit me so hard. forgot how much i love the killers, such a perfect song.
I love that feeling so much
i dont understand what is the meaning??
@@benws2184 Is about surviving a suicide attempt.
@@Criszgz22 that's just one of the interpretations..
@@benws2184 its about a schizophrenic suffering through a failed suicide attempt
I use to think this song was about alien abduction, but I found out not that long ago that it's about a failed suicide attempt.
Trevor Philips Are you listening to it from your red pick-up?
Trevor I killed you at the end of GTA forgive me
Trevor Philips Who did you kill to get that username?
Tristan Samiee The industry.
Brandon flowers said in a interview that it's a mix of both actually
For those who tried to commit suicide and still with us, I'm glad you didn't give up! Keep going!
What does that have to do with space man
Vanessa Magana people think it had to do with suicide
Well it’s about thinking about life in space or heaven or hell not that I believe in that and it’s just that’s you wanna die so you can get there and that’s what this is about and irl I keep fighting
I don't get why everyone gets pissed about the suicide theory. I'm a suicide attempt survivor and I actually find the suicide meaning in this song uplifting. I still get depressed sometimes, but it's chemicals fucking with my brain. It's nice to hear "It's all in your mind" sometimes. And if you don't like that theory, just pick what you like. It's up for interpretation. Everyone can have their own thoughts about the song, nothing wrong with that. I think this song is crazy fun, whether it's about suicide or not
@@vanessamagana865 please dont abbreviate "to" as 2 ever again
I've been struggling with depression and PTSD for a good many years.
It turns simple existence into an uphill battle, and there's been a few times I've considered surrendering, but I can't.
When I was a child, I didn't understand this song, but it made me happy, and I sang along.
Now, I know the 'happiest', funniest people on the outside hide their pain behind vibrant façades like this.
And when they smile, and tell you to your face exactly what they're thinking behind the guise of a joke, you might not notice. You might sing along.
I'm 23, but the things I've seen and done to survive feel as though they'ved aged me exponentially.
Sometimes, It's hard to see a future beyond the deaths, crimes, and despair that raised me up.
But, I'm not ready to have my transmission televised, I have responsibilities. I'll keep going, and keep coming back here to show I've not surrendered.
And don't you give up either, you're every bit as strong. It may not go away completely, but it does get better.
You're not perfect, but no one is. Keep moving, strive for improvement, keep this life, or you'll miss out on the good times in store.
Keep this life, it's the only one you get. ❤

I failed and I’ve never been so happy to
Super duper underrated Killers song.

Kudos to whoever convinced Brandon to wear that costume!

i think that costume was made by luke steele from ``empire of the sun`` and btw the costume is just a pimped lifejacket :)

1st listen 10 years ago: "I don't like it."
2nd listen 10years ago: "well, the chorus is okay."
3rd listen now: "kinda catchy."
4th listen: "Actually it's good from start to finish."
5th listen: "This might be the best song I've heard in a long time."
Now it's on permanent replay :)
dude i feel the same way i’m relistening and i’m like “wow”
Same those 5 times
Not for me but the song "July" from ocean colour scene defo.
Right?
Right there with ya
the suicide is not the answer. Keep the fire, faith and that resilience you have inside and in someway keeps you alive and find the way to breath and emerge again. God loves you !!!
Very true, but the song has nothing to do with suicide, but it is about death..... looking things over before taking a leap is a reference to a leap of faith, trust in ones own judgment and self belief, and you just might realise, from your very unique and individualised perspective, that it's all about you, the world is YOU, you experience the world within as if it were outside, making you a passenger of your own vehicle, you experience the true world while dreaming, there's a way or way's to invert that, and you can take the wheel of your vessel, and make the rules as you please, it's the fractal part of the mind and you like in dreams when your sky high lucid and free, that is reality, and most are living a nightmare, switch lanes my friend Freedom is inside.
Director: How random do you want the video?
Brandon: Yes
How to miss the entire meaning of the aesthetic ^

Top comment...nails it, lol
"The public don't dwell on my transmission because it wasn't televised"
possibly my favorite line
Yeah no one cares until they see
Seriously guys this is about a suicide attempt, NOT religion or any dead person. You can check out some interviews with the Killers and find out which band member inspired this song. It was genius to draw metaphors between suicide and alien abduction. This is probably one of their best written songs, lyrically. Wordsmiths indeed.
Eli Olsen thanks but they have said this an interview about a certain member. They discussed the Day & Age album track by track. I'd just hate to say his name on here. Plus, if you watch this live, Brandon sings the second verse like he's trying to say "better not do it". It's not so bad. ;)
hard to believe considering how uplifting the song sounds.
Thats nice and all but just because they say something in an interview doesnt make it true. Have you watched katy perry's documentary?? Not even half of that movie is true. Enough said on that. You can think that its about a suicide if you want, it doesnt matter to me. But im telling you right now its not. There is a second language, a subliminal language used to write not only this song, but many of their songs and many other popular songs by many artists. I know because i use this language myself in all the music i write. Like i said i can break down every line of this song to you if you e mail me. I dont tell someone im right unless i know i am and why i am.
Eli Olsen Hey I didn't mean to start an argument with you or anyone on TH-cam for that matter. Songs can mean different things to different people so you can believe whatever you want. Music is art, after all. I just wanted to share what the artists have said about the song as I noticed that a lot of comments here are discussing on the song's meaning. Naturally, what the artists had in mind when they wrote the song would help. I have watched Katy Perry's documentary but I don't think anyone else other than her can say how "true" that all was so best leave Ms. Perry out. Again, I apologize if I've offended you in anyway. I have no doubt in my mind that you can break down this song line by line. I just believe it could be so much more taken together. After all, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Thank you for replying to me though, I appreciate your thoughts. Goodluck on your songwriting and happy holidays, Eli. :)
I promise you i wasnt arguing and you didnt offend me. Saying that only the person who wrote or made something can be the person who knows what the meaning is, is like saying only the magician who made the magic trick can figure out how to do that exact magic trick in the exact same way. I'm sorry but that is just not true. He might very well be talking about a suicide attempt also. But im not going off of what they have said in an interview. Or for that matter in the case of what i had said about Katy Perry's documentary, in the same way im not going off of what she was saying or not saying. (Because most of her music is using the same language that the killers have used in this, and other songs) Im going off of the "magic tricks" that i see and Im telling you what they are. When you say/show something to the masses you need to do it in a way that wont give away the secret to the "magic trick." Because you want the trick to work. And it worked! for both The Killers and Perry. And if somebody is going to figureout a magicians magic trick, dont you think it would be another magician?
When i said i can break down each line of the song i wasnt talking about separating them, i was talking about showing what he is really talking about, AS A WHOLE, by simply showing what he means in every line. EVERY SINGLE PIECE of the music video is much more meaningfull then just a suicide attempt. you just need to know the "magic" they are using to see the "tricks" for what they really are. Again i promise im not arguing, i dont argue. When i could be wrong, i say "I dont know, you could be right." And when i know im right i state the facts and the truth. But maybe all of what im saying is falling on deaf ears. Beacause it is obvious to me that you have NO IDEA what im even talking about, am i right? Your eyes have probably been shut, like most people, for so long that you actually believe everything you see and just accept it as fact because you've seen it. But let me ask you something, does a magician actually perform "magic"? or does he simply do what he knows he can make you believe?
This song came out when I was 15, right after I got out of the mental hospital for attempted suicide and I remember feeling like it was about me. It's just so true to my experience, and the experience of so many others, and I love it!
exactly! Ive been in a psych hospital multiple times and this song just fits so well. I don't understand why everyone gets so upset when people say it's about suicide
I’m glad you are both better now and hope your lives stay positive!
I had a nervous breakdown a year ago thinking I had died I was in someone's backyard I thought I was in purgatory that is until the cops came with their guns pointed and I told him just f****** kill me you know I wanted to die but I didn't want to put that guilt on them so I just went with them and they put me in hospital but I was in hospitals for like 5 months I'm back and I'm doing better than ever. I'm back and I'm doing great I just want to say there is a way Jesus was a help to me but I've been there I've been at the point where I wanted to die and I've had the chance and I made the right decision. Don't make the wrong decision there is a out help is the way out.
Feel you and the song sooo much
15? Why?
It started with a low light
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed
And then they took my blood type
It left a strange impression in my head
You know that I was hoping
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind
But when they cut me open,
I guess that changed my mind
And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time
'Cause they calling me by my name
And the zipping white light beams
Disregards the bombs and satellites
That was the turning point
That was one lonely night
The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind
Well now I'm back at home, and
I'm looking forward to this life I live
You know its gonna haunt me
So hesitation to this life I give
You think you might cross over
You're caught between the devil and the deep blue sea
You better look it over
Before you make that leap
And you know I'm fine
But I hear those voices at night sometimes
They justify my claim
And the public don't dwell my transmission
Cause it wasn't televised
But, it was the turning point
Oh what a lonely night
The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind
The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind
My global position systems are vocally addressed
They say the Nile used to run from east to west
They say the Nile used to run, from east to west
And you know I'm fine
But I hear those voices at night
Sometimes
The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind
The star maker says, it ain't so bad
The dream maker's going make you mad
The spaceman says, everybody look down
It's all in your mind
It's all in my mind
It's all in my mind

I love Brandon in this video. It's like all the colors and chaos are kind of trying to hide the real meaning of the song, but he gives little glimpses of what it's really about with his expressions and mannerisms. It's beautiful.
+Gunnar Hegg More pertinently, it's about surviving an attempted suicide, getting a new perspective from it, and trying to impart hope to others through the experience.

No way. Queen is Queen The Killers are The Killers. The Killer's vocalist is no where as versatile as Freddie, but that's okay because Rock has always been something for everybody and there's space in Rock and Roll for everyone not named Freddie Mercury.

Ohh yeahhhh...
This song is not at all about drug addiction, it is most certainly about attempted suicide and depression. I love this song, the poetry and metaphors are amazing. Truly great lyrics. I've added commentary to each section, with context of the lyrics in terms of the themes of depression and attempted suicide. The song starts off with the attempted suicide victim awakening after being saved from the attempt.
"It started with a low light,
Next thing I knew they ripped me from my bed;
And then they took my blood type,
they left a strange impression in my head."
[Song starts with the attempted suicide victim awaking to consciousness in a hospital after an inferred suicide attempt. The person first perceives a 'low light' which I imagine refers to the hospital bed light that is first seen. Once he awakes, the hospital staff moves him from the bed, take his blood. The line about, 'strange impression in my head' may refer to the confusion he is going through as he is coming back to reality, or I thought it could allude to the method of suicide, gunshot to the head, literally an impression (wound).]
"You know that I was hoping,
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind;")
But when they cut me open,
I guess I changed my mind."
[Person acknowledged that he had intended to leave this world by killing himself. The line about, 'they cut me open' refers to the hospital staff saving him (if the suicide was by gunshot, the person literally got cut open to remove the bullet and treat the wound, which saved him). Then he says, "I guess I changed my mind" about the suicide, which I take as an ironic line because once he was being saved he had no choice but to change his mind.]
"And you know I might
Have just flown too far from the floor this time,
'cause they calling me by my name!"
[The person is reflecting on his decision to attempt suicide and is realizing that he had started losing touch with the world and lost his grounding ("And you know I might have just flown too far from the floor this time)." In the last line of this verse he starts to refer to his depression or his inner struggle with depression and angst that still is calling him.]
"And the zipping white light beams
disregards bombs and satellites!
That was the turning point;
That was one lonely night!"
[The person reflects on his confusing feelings and mindset just before deciding to attempt suicide, which was the turning point and a lonely night.]
"The star maker says, 'It ain't so bad'"
[The star making is the typical optimist supporter that will try to console the depressed person, and tell him that life "ain't so bad" and try to cheer them up]
"The dream maker's gonna make you mad"
[The dream maker refers to the type of supporter that tries to be encouraging and tries to get the victim to think about the future and their dreams, which is frustrating to the suicide victim, because the 'dream maker' is trying to convince the victim to stay motivated]
"The spaceman says, 'Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!'"
[The spaceman refers to a psychologist, which tells the suicide victim that all their feelings and perceptions are the cause to his depression and suicide attempt, that all his depression is in his mind. The tone of the line suggests that the psychologist is trying to peg the problem on the victim (all in his mind) and not on the outside world ('everybody look down!).]
"Well now I'm back at home and-
I'm looking forward to this life I live;
You know it's gonna haunt me,
So hesitation to this life I give."
[He's moved back home and has been rehabilitated and is out of the pathological depressed mindset that he had prior to the suicide attempt. He can look forward to living, but the memory of his past depression and suicide attempt will continue to haunt him and worry him that the depression will come back. So he has a hesitation to the life he has known because he is not sure if the depression will return.]
"You think you might cross over,
You caught between the devil and the deep blue sea;
You better look it over,
Before you make that leap!"
[ The newly rehabilitated suicide victim implores to the audience that, based on his experience, that they should think hard about the desire to commit suicide when they are in a very bad time in their life ('you caught between the devil and the deep blue sea" -- two very bad and daunting things to be between). The victim advises that anyone considering suicide really should think very hard about it before they attempt it.]
"And you know I'm fine, but I hear those voices at night
sometimes... they justify my claim,"
[The victim states that he is doing well, but his depression is still there under the surface, the, 'voices he hears at night that justify his claim' is a metaphor for the depression that still speaks to him and tries to influence his behavior]
"and the public don't dwell on my transmission
'cause it wasn't televised..."
[I love this line. It is a beautiful lyric which is a metaphor for the fact that the outside world does not concern themselves with the depressed individual because the depressed person doesn't directly project their depression outward and that the world doesn't spend enough time and coverage on the plight of depressed individuals]
"But, it was a turning point,
Oh what a lonely night!"
[Further reflection on the attempted suicide night]
"The star maker says, 'It ain't so bad'
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, 'Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!'
The star maker says, 'It ain't so bad'
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, 'Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!'"
"My global position systems are vocally addressed;"
"They say the Nile used to run from east to west,
They say the Nile used to run... from east to west."
[The 'global position system that is vocally addressed' is a metaphor for his inner voice that guides him, as well as his perception of the world. The line about the GPS saying the Nile used to run from east to west is another metaphor. The Nile, in reality, runs north to south, and the fact that his GPS tells him the Nile runs east to west is a metaphor for his mind's perception of the world not being in sync with reality, he had lost touch with the world when he was depressed]
"I'm fine,
but I hear those voices at night,
sometime..."
[Further introspective lyric from the suicide victim that he is okay and he is managing his depression, but still feels depression resting under the surface.]
"The star maker says, 'It ain't so bad'
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, 'Everybody look down!
Its all in your mind!'
The star maker says, 'It ain't so bad'
The dream maker's gonna make you mad;
The spaceman says, 'Everybody look down...
Its all in your mind!'"
"It's all in my mind,
It's all in my mind..."
Maybe you should breakdown WHY? by JASMINE LAMPORT...that would be more interesting.
Or Urban Seascape's THE CHILD.
You are 100% wrong. This sons is about Donald Marshall's experiences. He wrote it. Main guy in video is his look alike... Google Megadeth album cover- The World needs a hero. Also Donald Marshall. He is trying to send a message out. Same in Nelly Furtado- say it Right, REM Losing my Religion... You people have NO IDEA the true meanings of a lot of these lyrics...
Adan Castillo
No I'll tell you what this song is about.
You ever try making a sandwich but the butter is too hard?
And you try spreading it on the bread and the bread all clumps up?
That's what this song is about.
Take it from me.
Thanks Adan, can you explain too the meaning of the video?

If you take the view of the song being about a failed suicide it changes the whole perspective.
Everyone talking about the song’s meaning, but can we just take a moment to appreciate the synth/guitar thing in the 1st and second verses?
That one last look, just perfect.

I think "so hesitation to this life I give" means he won't make such rash decisions (like attempting suicide, though I've never heard the band say it, lots of people think this song is about a failed suicide attempt, and so do I). i dont really know what "my global position systems are vocally addressed" means
MrSwadloon thank you very much!
do you noticed that this guy with the blonde wig thrown away a "pug" after the other guy next him attempted to stop him and fight a little?
The killers is the most underrated band I’ve ever heard
...37 million views tho
How are they underrated when Mr. Brightside is literally like one of the most famous alternative rock songs of all time?
They’re not underrated
Noah J maybe cause they’re pretty much known as the ‘Mr Brightside band’ despite having so many other great songs
They’re not underrated, they’re actually quite popular. They might be overrated in fact.
I'm fighting through a depression right now for the second time in my life, with professional help this time.
This video captures the madness and loneliness that I feel very well. The idea of depression sometimes feels like explaining that aliens are real. People can't see your thoughts or feelings, but to me, they are my daily reality. I hope I can say goodbye to the voices of my Starmaker, Dreammaker and my Spaceman soon.
Even when you feel at your loneliest. Although I am a person you'll never know, I completely understand the way you are feeling. You are not alone. You can make it through anything believe me, I've fought a lot of my demons and I'm only 18 years old. The world is a strange place, I get it. But you'll feel happiness one day, in a way you have to basically fight your way through those feelings, be a warrior against those bad thoughts.
This is a demonic song. If you wanna find peace for your soul, look at your creator. Jesus loves you
GOD SURELY COULD HELP YOU !!! GO TO SOME HILLSONG CHURCH , WILL BE A GOOD STEP !!!!
@@ramonbakker2696 don’t
@@ellenstar1155 this song is so beautiful and that beauty lies in the fact that its a really accurate representation of how it feels to live through suicide. Even after you’ve healed or “been saved” as religous people may say the thoughts persist, they drag you back into depression, justifying your actions. Its not a one time and done thing
Such a brilliant song. Who is listening Feb 2020?
Me!

Me. I'd like to know if Brandon went to Area 51
March 4th 2020
March :)
I was confused when someone mentioned the killers and searched them up to listen to their songs, it's been several hours of listening to them and I recognize all of them as songs I haven't heard in like 5 years and I'm crying please help
"It's all in your mind."
Aaah same here
Today i'm entered in my depression week... i don't know why.
+Jim Rustler we know that feeling bro ^^
many tears have been shed listening to brandons magical stories and voice
Brandon looks incredibly gorgeous in this video.
Agree! Especially at 4:14
It's like every other month I'm addicted to another Killer's song.
the best band in the world the killers
That clap at 2:12 is the dorkiest thing I've ever seen. I love it.
Yeah.. he looks kinda cute when he doing that 😅
It's like he can't quite commit to the clap lol
ikr? he looks like a baby clapping and it's honestly adorable. he is THE MAN but at the same time cute as hell
@@NahashBat yeah he is so attractive & cute but also soulful--- just love him
Most underrated killers song ever
I like this music.
One of my absolute favourite songs ever. The music video is fantastic, Flowers' movements are entrancing, and the lyrics are so relatable and beautifully done. I love how they're just obscure enough to blur the meaning, but not so obtuse that we can't understand what he means.
i like you
I agree with everything you've said here! This song is VERY special and meaningful to me!
The Killers like Queen's videos
Killer Queen....
@@georgelinford5576 BITES ZA DUSTO
love the awkward clap Brandon does at 2:10
It's timed,
Agreed. And I love how he held the two stuffed dogs starting at 3:47 like he's so genuinely into it...
Why don't you marry it then?
lol
Did you say tarantulas?! I'll be over in 10 minutes LOL hilarious!!! xD
this song is so underrated. I love it!
2023 and still listening this piece of art
Shit I stayed up late listening to music again.

Living the life
4:30 in the morning

Literally doing that right now. Its midnight and just reminiscing on some high school jams
What no man's sky should have been.
I would buy it
nice
what do you mean? that is exactly no mans sky. that tower is the trailer and then, when the camera moves away, you see the rest. nothing.
"It ain't so bad" "it's all in your mind" the things I tell myself when I hear those voices at night...
79/5000
I am 15 and this song makes me think about memories, that I have not experienced yet.
It's all in your mind...
the drummer did an incredible performance, just love the drum beat changes through the song.
This song goes hard live.
4:13 That final shot of Brandon looking so forlorn with all the craziness around him really hits me.
I fucking loved this song when it came out. The drum roll before the chorus always made me beat on my steering wheel.
This song is my favorite from them. What’s crazy is, because of how nice the music is, I used to always listen to this song during happier times. But now, when things are feeling rough in life, the lyrics scream out to me, and I can’t listen to this song without crying. It’s crazy how songs can make you feel so different depending on your mood and what you’re going through in life.
Very, very true
So many Killers songs are like that - I just think of a lyric and suddenly the song is playing in my head for hours and I want to cry screaming, but it feels so good - like a hand of a good friend on my shoulder, saying "it's fine, I've been there too, let it out"
I immediately knew the meaning of this song the first time I heard it without any explanation. I been there.
What's the meaning?
@@joaofilipeferreira1279
You know that I was hoping
That I could leave this star-crossed world behind
But when they cut me open
I guess that changed my mind
@@Slv4S8n666 ok but… Isn’t that about an alien abduction?
@@joaofilipeferreira1279 i Still think it is about Allien abduction.
@@Natthie391 Right? All these people are saying it's about suicide... How? If you interpret the lyrics in a nonliteral way, you'll see Starmaker means that his life is not that bad. At the same time, the dream maker is the side of him that wants even more, And then the spaceman shows up and makes him realize that at the end of the day none of these problems really matter when it could be worse.
The line "caught between the devil and the deep blue sea" reminded me that when I woke up after an overdose my first perception was the feeling like I was underwater and coming to the surface. Just cause there's water in the deep blue sea
I love how at 3:10 Brandon seems to break through the façade of trying to make his life seem okay and he realizes that that everything is not really okay ❤
I'm not okay... I'm not okay! I'm not okay... you wear me out!
😅 he looks kinda cute that way
@@missplumpycheek5361 If you like the look of someone permanently on the verge of a mental breakdown then we should hang out 👉😎👉
i cant take you seriously with that pfp
How do you pick a favorite Killers song? Too damn difficult! And doesn't anyone think that Brandon is up there as the best looking front man of all time???
+warrenguy76 He looks like David Guintioli [sp?] from Grimm.
Mr.Brightside?
Jackie evancho. White star
**cough cough** Billie Joe Armstrong **cough**
absolutely, he is sooo handsome!
"Cause they're calling me by my name" ... I start to cry every single time
So many years have passed, but this song still takes me back to the fabulous 2009. Like a time machine. Thank you Brandon.
I cant get this song and 'Read My Mind' out of my head. I hadn't heard them in years. Now I feel like a found a long lost treasure.
same to me !!!
exact same here
Wow me too
Hoppdogz my favorites 🙌🏻🥰
this song is so underrated
Juni 2024, who's still here and still watching.. 🤘
This will forever be one of my favorites. The way he moves in this video is so perfect.
God he's beautiful
Adriana Razo True DAT!!!!
I'm a guy, and i agree he looks awesome. (I'm straight, for the record)
Adriana Razo you are too beautiful too.
Adriana Razo your right
Thanks
I love how this whole music video is an ironic party.
2:53 dude table drums perfect. Insane.
Algún mexicano o latinoamericano que escuche esta maravilla :3
Desde el 2005 los escucho
Acaaaa
Aquiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
@@sebastiaasd me encanta Battle born
Aquí 😁👍🏻🎶
It's 2016 now here in our country, the best way to start a new year is listen to The Killers songs.
I can't get enough of this song. Surprised I did not hear it much sooner.
I didn’t pay much attention to this song for ages and then I saw this video and I’ve just loved it ever since. It seems so innocent and quirky but it’s helped a lot of people who were in a bad place. I come back to watch it often
2008 was a good year for music
Going on a Fringe marathon and hearing this song... The memories, man!! I feel so oooold.
h4ppy3nd How old are you?
O man, 8 years ago... I can't keep getting older I hate this bullshit makes me want to cry sometimes.
why are these guys not the most famous band
Jason Ames
Um cos they went off the boil after the first two albums?
This is shit!
Jason Ames, because no one can outshine the Beatles.
Because they dont deserve to
Dirthole Tribune oh ok
The comments above me are from brain dead nickleback fans
The chord change in the final chorus makes this song. Sounds so good with that chord progression
I shit you not, i was trying to remember this song with a description in my head: 'a guy singing in read armor walking up a tower full of weirdos' then I just typed The Killers Spaceman and here I am.
I JUST PULLED THAT FROM THE ETHER!!!
Well then. Good job lmao
I saw them live at Oxegen ages ago, this song still stands out for me from that night! They put on an amazing show and id give anything to get to see them again!
This band bonded me and the absolute love of my life throughout our school years, love the killers
This is how I interpreted the song. I honestly interpreted it as a song about a man who had a completely normal life. The man was offered a chance to go on an adventure and after the adventure he accepted he would never be able to return to his normal life and the song is about how much the adventure changed him and wants to go on an adventure again
Criminally underrated song, thank you Killers
Nearly 2016 an I'm still listening to the shit out of this song...
same here
X4
same
so I, and its 2017
The playing goes on... This song shall not die. The spaceman says everybody look down, but screw that.
I will always love this song, it got me through some dark, dark times.
I'm 18 years, and a can't even explain what that song means to me, in my first panic crises I heard voices, was so scary, and every time o hear that voices again, saying fot me to do bad things to myself, I listen to this song and a realize that it's all just in my mind and nothing is real.
thanks the killers for that ❤
The clap and the way he walks up the stairs. I LOVE it. I can’t get enough of it. I was this video so many mornings, just to get up and get going. This song.. the killers. Masterpieces. I’m so grateful this band exists.
They transmit so much joy to my soul. I feel understood and saved. "It's all in my mind"
It’s all a facade, in the end. Fame, fortune, and notoriety. You’re just left alone and isolated. That’s the funny part of modern social media- it’s like a way to pretend to be a celebrity influencer. No achievement, little talent, just a big dose of narcissism. I love this song
Me encanta The Killers desde que tengo 16 años, ahora tengo 27. Son únicos.
Never felt so well understood and touched by a song
