People don’t know what real music is nowadays that’s why.. this album has such great songs. It was a more personal album to Brandon (he has said). I love it! They can do no wrong in my eyes and ears😊

@@salarzx62090 It isn't. The only three singles on Battleborn are "Runaways, Miss Atomic Bomb, and Here With Me. Since Sam's Town, The Killers have agreed to only release 3 singles per album, since Brandon got upset that "For Reasons Unknown" never became a radio hit as the 4th single.
For me the line that hits like a train is "Back then, this thing was running on momentum, love, and trust. That paradise is buried in the dust." The words alone are heart-wrenching, and the way they've been matched to the perfect vocals at that moment makes the emotion feel so raw
Yea, singing it out loud, the strong emphasis I always hit the word "Buried" with, is to crush the memories after the word "Paradise". This song, and "Be Still" helped me get through the darkest period of my life.
This is a song that is painful to listen to. Not because it's bad, but because of the memories it brings. The passion in Flowers' voice is among the best and his performance of this song makes you feel something. Incredible song.
I drove through the desert last night. I carried the weight of our last fight. Elvis singing Dont be Cruel and I wonder If you feel it too, its like were going under. Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda county line, The question of my heart came to my mind. 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? Maybe a thief stole your heart, or maybe we just drifted apart. I remember driving in my daddys car to the airfield, Blanket on the hood, backs against the windshield. Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust That paradise is buried in the dust. 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? (The way it was, it was.) All of our plans are falling through. Sometimes a dream, it dont come true. Darling, darling, (If we go on can it be) Can it be the way it was when we met? Did you forget all about them golden nights? If I go on with you (by my side) can it be the way it was? My heart is true, girl, its just you Im thinking of. Can it be the way it was? (Maybe a thief stole your heart)
This song could easily have fitted like a plug inside of a plug-hole back in the 80's. I swear Brandon Flowers owns a TIME MACHINE and his obvious love and adoration for 80's music takes him for a cosmic ride back there where he finds some magic dust disguised as something back in those days and teleports himself back into modern time...and goes to work on songs...there's no other way. The songs are all so good. This is my favourite of all of THE KILLERS' songs....10/10.
+Bakin 8 Bling, Sweet Talk, Daddy's Eyes, Goodnight, Travel Well also are underrated or just not well known. (Just a few) I agree with you on this one, too.
It's such an American song. Driving on open desert roads, Elvis, semi-gospel arrangement on the chorus, 'Merican rock'n'roll from the greatest British American band.
Oh my God!, For some reason there is not even one song I dislike of The Killers, for example, I love The Beatles but there are two or three I don't really like. But The Killers, none. This band rocks.
I'm actually the exact opposite:/ I love every Beatles song but have a few killers songs I think are some of the best songs ever recorded. This one topping the list
The person who introduced me to this song is no longer in my life and I of course can't help but think of them whenever I hear this song. I often listen to this song by my lonesome wishing things were the way it was. It's hurts so much but it's comforting in a way. I feel closer to them when this song plays. I'm happy I knew her and she played a huge role of my early life. I definitely wouldn't be who I am without her and I can only hope she's doing well now. I'll never forget.
I feel like most of the Killers songs are connected and Brendon is talking about the same girl from Mr. Brightside. It's a really cool concept how he tells the same story in different ways through different songs.
+Christopher Riba A lot of people actually feel this way about The Killers. It's canon info that Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf, Midnight Show, and Jenny Was a Friend of Mine are all connected. The three songs are known as the murder trilogy. People speculate Mr. Brightside might be a part of it
You can also kinda consider Jilted Lovers and Broken Hearts about this girl who really hurt Brandon (as said in an interview) even though the song is from a solo album.
@@TheLuci915 I think it's actually confirmed that both Mr. Brightside and Miss Atomic Bomb are counterparts; I mean the bridge of M.A.B. features the guitar riff from Mr. Brightside. That was what made me first research that.
Las Vegas is literally a REBELS and HOCKEY town now! Its unbelievable how big Hockey is in the city. You gotta actually live in the city to get a feel how big it is. The Raiders and even a NBA team would never be this big. Could be big for the visitors but it will never have the impact the NHL Knights has had onto the city. It's a massive success story! Ownership did everything right and they continue to do things BIG and the RIGHT WAY!
I drove through the desert last night. I carried the weight of our last fight. Elvis singing ‘Don’t be Cruel’ and I wonder if you feel it too. It’s like we’re going under. Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda County line, The question of my heart came to my mind: 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? Maybe if thieves stole your heart or maybe we just drifted apart. I remember driving in my daddy’s car to the airfield, Blanket on the hood, backs against the windshield. Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust. That paradise is buried in the dust. 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? (The way it was, it was.)

(Maybe thieves stole your heart.)
I moved to Las Vegas just after high school. Some of the first friends I met were in a little town about an hour west of Vegas called Pahrump. I remember the first time I drove out to visit them. The view of the desert was so beautiful. Every shadow cast by every rock and every piece of sagebrush. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. It was like a little bit of magic. All of Southern Nevada is like a little bit of magic, from where the willows still weep on Charleston Avenue, to somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda County Line. I'm convinced that this album cover is inspired by the drive back from Pahrump. A drive I've made countless times. Also this is The Killers' best album and it's not even close. If all the haters on Reddit had ever lived in Nevada and had any of their formative memories attached to it, they would see how obvious this is.
Killers is in my top 5 bands of ALL time to listen too…they have so many great songs that I have listened to for years. Can’t wait to see them live in Houston 2023!
I used to listen to this song all the time years ago. I was at the time considering moving on from my relationship and this song would hit hard every time. Back then I would asked myself all the time: "if I go on on with you by my side you can it be the way it was...". In the end it didn't and it was over. It's just sad how we sometimes change in ways we don't want to, we stop feeling things we hold dear to ourselves. Some feelings you just can't control sometimes. This song still hits hard today and I guess it ever will.
This song speaks to my heart. Ive been in love with the same person for almost 10 years and we haven't been together for awhile. We were so in love and i wish things could be like that again.
This song literally propels me into a state of “what ifs” and “what could have beens” to a point where I feel something so real that reality becomes a blur

+BroHomeless Se eu for avaliá-los como um "crítico espealizado" the killers ficará longe de ser o melhor, com certeza if I rate them as a "specialized critical" the killers will be far from the best, for sure Mas o que eu quis dizer é que the killers é minha banda favorita, não que são os melhores exatamente but what I meant is that the killers is my favorite band, no to be the best exactly I am Brazilian and I'm using google translator to talk to you, so I'm sorry if something goes wrong in the translation
i don't think a band should be judged on how original it is, but on the music, the rhythm, the lyrics, and the sound itself. getting inspiration from other music is what every band/musician does. there is no band or musician that is fully original. not even the smiths. anyways that's just my opinion:)
i agree, the life is full of copies, evrey child learn from the parents,copies the behaviour different kinds, so musicians, here an input there an input!
i love this song.... its got that heartbreak melancholy of Roy Orbison... Runaways too and Miss Atomic Bomb... A great if slightly flawed album. Brandon said it should've been better but the guy is such a perfectionist. His could have been better is another artists career best... My favourite Moron ever!!!!
I remember 2012, I had this song playing in a quiet ride home with my ex after our final fight. I felt this song too much that day and I can still remember the feelings I had That day because of this song.
This is by far my favorite track from Battle Born. It has everything a song needs, it is a modern "With or Without You" mixed with "Sweet Talk," its that melodic Killers sound that brings me back to this album for more. Can't wait to see them in Portland!
a) The Killers should play on a Super Bowl Halftime Show b) They should play this song... c) With Brandon Flowers singing it as a duet with Cheap Trick's Robin Zander.
Cassandra Coleman, From Idol brought me here, this song is a great song, and I knew very little about this band they are fantastic. This band should be the next Superbowl halftime show....
god all the references to Nevada esp southern NV makes me so homesick. Driving through the desert. Blue Diamond. Quiet except for the sounds of you and the person you're having a convo with... They describe the feeling so perfectly.
No importa cuanta música vaya a descubrir, ni cuanta gente venga después, no importa cuantos años tengan que pasar ni que tantos recuerdo voy a crear, al final el sentimiento va a volver a ser el mismo y algo que nunca va a cambiar es el hecho de que siempre voy a terminar por volver a esta canción. Junio 24, 2020.

First time hearing this track yesterday...got me thinking..."Does Brandon Flowers have a link to Roy Orbison somewhere?"...cause he sounds like him so much in this track...I could hear Roy Orbison doing this or they could have had a pardon the pun...killer duet on this track!.
I can almost never pick favorite songs from any given artist - hands down my favorite. Holds a special place, because it came on as I was driving through the Mojave Desert trying to figure out what the heck to do about a relationship. I took it to be a sign to walk away, and I did - but blasted this song on repeat the entire rest of the drive. Night + desert + this song = out of body experience.
GUADALAJARA MEXICO LIVE 2024? ES MI NUEVA PISTA FAVORITA X THE KILLERS ...LA HABIA ESCUCHADO ANTWS DEJE DE SEGUIRLES ERA FAN ANTES BRANDON FLOWERS ES UN GENIO DESDE ARGENTINA
You may say I'm crazy, but I this album was one of their best and it was put together so well and once again they have reinvented themselves sounds like they are taking the plunge through the decades they were obviously in the 80s and the new album based off the new single definitely going through the 70s now!
i listen to gospel and soul....but the song from the killers are on my playlist.....they are awesome....the drumms guitar, and the voice....thats music😊🎧
Brandon saying "darling" is one of my favourite sounds of all time
groovyuna Brandon can call me darlin anytime he likes.
groovyuna I absolutely agree xx
You'd like Dublin
Best part... It's secret under-appreciated golden nugget amongst their whole musical collection. 2:35 Awesome.
My husband says darling. It's quite lovely.
this whole album is underappreciated and underrated...
Xavier Watkins totally agree.
IMO it’s just as good as Sams Town
Omg yeah this album is actually amazing!! I love them all but feel like this is amazing!!
People don’t know what real music is nowadays that’s why.. this album has such great songs. It was a more personal album to Brandon (he has said). I love it! They can do no wrong in my eyes and ears😊
Totally agree. Amazing album. To me it´s their second best after Sam´s Town.

weakweek85 but brandon chooses to sing "i drove to the desert last night" on concerts.

I think this line is better as the ending in concerts which he rarely does. This line has more soul. Its sung with sadness too.

If I go on with you (by my side), can it be the way it was when we met?

I adore this amazing song!!!!

This song could easily have fitted like a plug inside of a plug-hole back in the 80's.
I swear Brandon Flowers owns a TIME MACHINE and his obvious love and adoration for 80's music takes him for a cosmic ride back there where he finds some magic dust disguised as something back in those days and teleports himself back into modern time...and goes to work on songs...there's no other way. The songs are all so good.

Such an amazing and underrated song. Love it!
Check out their album "Imploding The Mirage" It could be their best album ever!!!

same, but for me its been only like 3 years
I understand you, I haven’t been with someone that long but I found someone that I wish I still had, keep your head up
Hahah ha ha :( happened to me :'(
Ill always miss this friendship.
This song literally propels me into a state of “what ifs” and “what could have beens” to a point where I feel something so real that reality becomes a blur
The way he finishes the song singing, "Can it be the way it waaaaasssss?" That brings me chills.
LYRICS
I drove through the desert last night
I carried the weight of our last fight
Elvis singing 'Don't be Cruel' and I wonder if you feel it too
It's like we're going under
Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda County line
The question of my heart came to my mind
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?
Maybe a thief stole your heart
Or maybe we just drifted apart
I remember driving in my daddy's car to the airfield
Blanket on the hood, backs against the windshield
Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust
That paradise is buried in the dust
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?
(The way it was, it was)
All of our plans are falling through
Sometimes a dream, it don't come true
Darling, darling
(If we go on, can it be?)
Can it be the way it was when we met?
Did you forget all about them golden nights?
If I go on with you by my side
Can it be the way it was?
My heart is true
Girl, it's just you I'm thinking of
Can it be the way it was
Maybe a thief stole your heart
No me cansare de decirlo, esta cancion es genial y una de mis favoritas, arriba The Killers :D From Mexico.
2024 and still listening when I think of you
Elvis singing DONT BE CRUEL and i wonder IF YOU FEEL IT TOO its like we going under......
One of my fav line
the killers will always be the best band
They arent original enough to be the very best, but they're one of the best. Most of their songs are borrowed from others. The Smiths are the best :)
+BroHomeless
Se eu for avaliá-los como um "crítico espealizado" the killers ficará longe de ser o melhor, com certeza
if I rate them as a "specialized critical" the killers will be far from the best, for sure
Mas o que eu quis dizer é que the killers é minha banda favorita, não que são os melhores exatamente
but what I meant is that the killers is my favorite band, no to be the best exactly
I am Brazilian and I'm using google translator to talk to you, so I'm sorry if something goes wrong in the translation
i don't think a band should be judged on how original it is, but on the music, the rhythm, the lyrics, and the sound itself. getting inspiration from other music is what every band/musician does. there is no band or musician that is fully original. not even the smiths. anyways that's just my opinion:)
+abrianna exatamente, concordo com o que você disse
exactly agree with what you said
i agree, the life is full of copies, evrey child learn from the parents,copies the behaviour different kinds, so musicians, here an input there an input!
First, I thought Just another girl is my favorite song,
Then Runawaya. And now this is my favorite song.
i love this song.... its got that heartbreak melancholy of Roy Orbison... Runaways too and Miss Atomic Bomb... A great if slightly flawed album. Brandon said it should've been better but the guy is such a perfectionist. His could have been better is another artists career best... My favourite Moron ever!!!!
My thoughts exactly with roy orbison. When he sings sometimes a dream it don't true,I can hear orbison singing it.....!
You mean Mormon lol!
Love so much!! "Elvis singing don't be cruel...🎶"
I remember 2012, I had this song playing in a quiet ride home with my ex after our final fight. I felt this song too much that day and I can still remember the feelings I had That day because of this song.
2024 - words can never explain how many times this song has made me cry and continues to make me cry in the most beautiful way.
This is by far my favorite track from Battle Born. It has everything a song needs, it is a modern "With or Without You" mixed with "Sweet Talk," its that melodic Killers sound that brings me back to this album for more. Can't wait to see them in Portland!
2:37 that scream always gives me chills!
a) The Killers should play on a Super Bowl Halftime Show
b) They should play this song...
c) With Brandon Flowers singing it as a duet with Cheap Trick's Robin Zander.
J. Cav vc3f2fwfzcfj guy to h l ..
Gyyy1
J. Cav.
They did play a nfl halftime show in Las Vegas opening home game so they have something but they should play in a super bowl half time shoe
Perfection on EVERY count!
why are they just so perfect godammit i cant fault any of there songs only one other band makes me feel that way and thats scouting for girls
I love the references to Elvis's "Don't Be Cruel" ... love that song 💜
I've listens to the killers for years. When you were young has been my go to song.. just discovered this song... happy new year... the ways it was....
A thief didnt steal my heart, the Killers did
I love the sound of the guitar ♥️
These guys never do a bad song...ever! In this song, the lead singer has a Roy Orbison-esque sound. Just love these guys!!!!!
Cassandra Coleman, From Idol brought me here, this song is a great song, and I knew very little about this band they are fantastic. This band should be the next Superbowl halftime show....
I am jealous of you. I have been a fan since the beginning but you have the pleasure of catching up with the music of one of the greatest bands ever.
@@malcolmwilson4348 Yes i have a lot of catching up to do!
Green Day and The Killers are my favourite band, been a big fan of them since I was 5 years old.
"My heart is true.
Girl, it's just you I'm thinking of;
can it be the way it was?"
Every fucking time. Right in the gut.
Killers just the best bro
Four years and I still missing you, Gio. Maybe a thief stole your heart… a thief stole your heart. Lucky him.
Perfect song for driving at night
exactly ❤️
Driving at night with a can of beer. Greetings from Sunter, North Jakarta.
@@samuelboddo114 Greetings from Pancoran, South Jakarta :D
I'm on 089662348907. Which Jakarta's street would you drive on with this song?
god all the references to Nevada esp southern NV makes me so homesick. Driving through the desert. Blue Diamond. Quiet except for the sounds of you and the person you're having a convo with... They describe the feeling so perfectly.
No importa cuanta música vaya a descubrir, ni cuanta gente venga después, no importa cuantos años tengan que pasar ni que tantos recuerdo voy a crear, al final el sentimiento va a volver a ser el mismo y algo que nunca va a cambiar es el hecho de que siempre voy a terminar por volver a esta canción.

I drove through the desert last night
I carried the weight of our last fight
Elvis singing "don't be cruel"
And I wonder if you feel it too
It's like we're going under
Somewhere outside the lonely Esmeralda county line
The question of my heart came to my mind
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?
Maybe a thief stole your heart
Or maybe we just drifted apart
I remember driving
In my daddy's car to the airfield
Blanket on the hood, backs against the windshield
Back then this thing was running on momentum, love and trust
That paradise is buried in the dust
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?
(The way it was)
All of our plans have fallen through
Sometimes a dream, it don't come true
Darling!
Darling!
If we go on
Can it be (can it be)
The way it was
When we met
Did you forget all about them golden nights?
If I go on
With you by my side
Can it be
The way it was
My heart is true
Girl, it's just you
I'm thinking of
Can it be the way it was?
Maybe a thief stole your heart
I can't describe the feellings that makes me feel this song... I love it.
First time hearing this track yesterday...got me thinking..."Does Brandon Flowers have a link to Roy Orbison somewhere?"...cause he sounds like him so much in this track...I could hear Roy Orbison doing this or they could have had a pardon the pun...killer duet on this track!.
Unfortunately no mate
What an incredible song
I can almost never pick favorite songs from any given artist - hands down my favorite. Holds a special place, because it came on as I was driving through the Mojave Desert trying to figure out what the heck to do about a relationship. I took it to be a sign to walk away, and I did - but blasted this song on repeat the entire rest of the drive. Night + desert + this song = out of body experience.
3:17 Those background keyboards go straight to my soul. :'-(
Definitely one of my favorite bands since 2004. hot fuss instant classic. They have an eighties feel
excelente canción ! una de las mejores, tendrían que haberle hecho un video
estoy de acuerdo contigo
Genia :)
Juan eylenstein pienso lo mismo amigo
si muy buena
Cierto... debió
This song i remember be friend and always in my playlist 2013 untill now
why did it take me a year to discover this album Loved sams town not so much since but battleborn is perfect
GUADALAJARA MEXICO LIVE 2024?
ES MI NUEVA PISTA FAVORITA X THE KILLERS ...LA HABIA ESCUCHADO ANTWS DEJE DE SEGUIRLES ERA FAN ANTES
BRANDON FLOWERS ES UN GENIO
DESDE ARGENTINA
You may say I'm crazy, but I this album was one of their best and it was put together so well and once again they have reinvented themselves sounds like they are taking the plunge through the decades they were obviously in the 80s and the new album based off the new single definitely going through the 70s now!
This song will forever remind me of lost love and lost opportunities. An indescribable yearning
This needs a video ASAP!
I think they haven't released one on purpose. Look at what each person takes from it. That's why its so beautiful, I think!
Yep
Watched them at co-op Manchester june 2024 absolutely brilliant unbelievable Brandon and the band... thank you for an unbelievable night 💕💕💕
This song made me cry, thanks to Cassandra Coleman for bringing me back to this. I love the Killers. I’m a fan from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Aww. What other bands do you like?
one of my favorite songs ever
i listen to gospel and soul....but the song from the killers are on my playlist.....they are awesome....the drumms guitar, and the voice....thats music😊🎧
