Yes, especially when his mom is Cinderella in the song, and when he sings near the end “Cinderella don’t go to sleep……everybody needs you”, just hits different when you know that his mom was dying of cancer at the time.
When you know the song was written when Brandon's Mum was dying from Cancer, the lyrics really do hit harder, "Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep Its such a bitter form of refuge Ah don't you know the kingdoms under siege And everybody needs you" Those lines always get sung thar little bit harder live
Yes this is great but the video on which Brendan Flowers asked Bruce Springsteen to collaborate with him every bit as good and if anything Bruce’s Gravel in his voice made it all the more epic.🇦🇺😘
The song gets even sadder when you learn Brandon Flowers wrote it about his parents when his Mom was dying of cancer. 😢
thanks for giving that extra bit of info. Always loved this song but never knew the meaning behing it.

@@MP-od1zz Yeah. My Mom was fighting cancer when this came out and passed soon after. Still makes me tear up when I hear it.

Best song ever
Check out the band cold. Nobody seems to react to them here
The alternative video is pure art and a better feel. Bless the Killers either way though.
