I don't share his religious beliefs, but I respect his commitment to his faith and bravery to express his views, especially within the music industry where so much negativity and materialism exists. Beautiful man and family. I'll definitely continue to follow his career and listen to his gorgeous voice. It's a truly wonderful, expressive one; a definite gift.
I love The Killers, and Brandon Flowers. I love how he can be a father, a husband, and a great musician at the same time. We need more people like Brandon.
Whenever I listen to "Only the Young" where he talks to his mother who has passed on ("Mother it's cold here"), and then says "Father thy will be done" (presumably about putting her death in the Lord's hands), I get emotional. True love, faith and humility is always beautiful, but when accompanied by beautiful music it is immensely powerful.
I have so much respect for Mr.Flowers and the Killers. They have stood the test of time and keep cranking out amazing album after amazing album. They have a fan for life here. Their music isn't violent or offensive, it's relatable and healing. Good for Brandon for standing by who he is, even when the world is so critical of it. Love, a very Catholic, very loyal Killers fan
I find it moving he says "I am a father, a husband, and I'm a Mormon." Doesn't mention anything about what has given him this fame - only what is in his heart. That is quite inspiring to those of us that are not famous but yet are fathers and husbands. Thanks Brandon.
I've gathered through listening to Brandon Flower's music that he takes a lot of inspiration from religion. In his lyrics, it might not seem so obvious, but it is obvious to me when he makes constant references to god, and to religion without being explicit about it---and I'm sure that others have noticed it too. Not being religious myself, I've wondered whether his singer-song-writing abilities would be affected if he wasn't a religious. I think they would be affected because he drives such power from his beliefs, which give his songs a "soul". I look forward to hearing all the music he makes in the future.
so inspiring!!! i'm not mormon, but i really respect him for being so open about his faith and setting such a great example for his fans. i'm glad the frontman of my favorite band is someone that i can look up to :)
Wow, The Singer from The Killers is Mormon? Crazy! I was raised Mormon and although I don't follow anymore I have some great mormon friends and I think Mormons are awesome people.
"I want to be a positive force in the world and uplift people." Well said. Besides the music and lyrics, this is another reason why I consider this beautiful, talented man my hero.
I'm sat here watching this video in tears because he looks so happy with his family and he made it to a place in life where I want to be, I'm scared i'll never get there and I know i have to become more familiar with rejection...I just want to change the world, No matter how I do it. I want to die knowing i've acheaved something and i've helped someone in the world and that I won't be forgotton..I hope I can acheve this with my music as he has done.
Brandon, I'm an actor and I really identify with your message here. I've had similar experiences with people being very surprised that I'm a Mormon. There's a certain expectation in entertainment - glad to see you standing up for what you believe. Thank you.
Through Brandon's music, I got through the hardest times of my life & knowing that he embraces the church uplifts me. He is amazing. I love being a member of the church, & i'm so glad he lives to the gospel & strives to lead by example. Thankyou for this.
Wow. Man of substance. Brandon, thanks for being something more. Thanks for caring for your family and listening to fire inside us all that asks us to be something.
Brandon, your babies are ADORABLE! And your wife is beautiful :) Thanks for sharing this and congrats on your successes! One thing that takes a while to get across to others is that we, Mormons, aren't weird at all. There's nothing weird about living your life a certain way, or believing in Christ. You sharing this video makes my job easier when trying to get this point across. Thanks again
I have this undying respect for Brandon because he's so proud of his values and his beliefs. I'm not Mormon, personally, but I really admire his perseverance. Faith, love and positive values are such an important and needed part of today's society and he's proud to keep them strong. I respect this man and he makes me so proud to be a loyal fan of The Killers!
I love you Brandon F. 💕 May God bless you more. I am Christian, and they're is greatness in you're music, i love the song" sweet talk" greatly inspirational, I hope I can meet you one day!
Brandon's a great example of how faith can help people change. We all make mistakes and it's no secret that he had his struggles early in his rock career. Now that he's living a more positive life I admire him for not letting his past mistakes stop him from proudly representing his church.
they have lots of talent, just google, mormon oil painters. BYU really pushes to actively search and support the arts, it's a way for them to expand the church's power.
At the time when they were not so famous here in Italy, I first heard some Killers' songs and said "there is something beautiful in their music, something different". "Read my Mind" was such a lovely tune, and then all of their "Sam's Town" album songs were so magic, and still I think so!! Then one day my Brother came to me and told me Brandon Flowers was a member of the Church, and realized why they were so different!!! The spirit can really be shared in way we don't understand, AMAZING!!!
I'm also Mormon and "The Killers" is my favorite band ... You have a great voice and talent. Thank you for your example within church, Brandon. May NPC continue to fill you with blessings. Greetings from Mexico City
This is such an inspiring video. Thank you for not selling your soul, Brandon! You are an amazing talent, a powerful example, and a precious dad and husband!
Very profound statement about not "growing out of " the Church. The Gospel will always be a part of my life, no matter how old I am. I hope that I can also always keep that fire burning. Thanks for sharing your story and testimony.
Amazing guy! So impressed by him for declaring his beliefs boldly in an industry and world that has those who would try to ruin him for doing so. He is so courageous... like his son's namesake. We need more people in this world like him. Thank you Brandon Flowers!!!!!!!!!! :)
There is a power within his soul, and it travels through his music, as i listen to him i always feel empowered and i never could understand why...This video really helped. I'm hardly formed as a person (being a teenager) but so far i have no great ties to a religion. However i understand and respect faith and realize how essential it is to becoming something meaningful. Thank you for helping me on my journey to becoming someone with a purpose as you, Mr.Flowers.
I LOVE how Humble he is. Never says anything about being the front man of one of the biggest bands in the world! :) Now... I will hope, dream and wish for him to do a Fireside in Utah.. and be the guest host one year for The Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Christmas Program!!
I didn’t know this about him but WAS struck with how much he seems to honor and love his wife having listened to many interviews where he mentioned her.
I love Brandon Flowers, and I may not be mormon, but I find him to be such a down-to-earth man who has his values and that is something we should all really appreciate. The Killers, are one of my favorite bands ever, thank you Brandon.
It's neat that he hung on to the values of life. It show how wonderful his family was growing up and now he gets to show and teach those values to his children.
I was always proud of you, Brandon, but now I am more so. Congratulations for being proud of being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
I was hoping Brandon Flowers would make a video. And it turned out beautiful! Thank you so much for opening up your life and your home to inspire others.
This video made me feel remarkably so much better. For a while now, ive been afraid to persue my music career because I dont want to fall away... And now finally, ironicly, my favorite musician presents hope for both in my life... Thank you brandon so much for this :)
This video makes my heart melt. It makes me so happy that the Flowers' are a big happy family. It is possible. It really is. Even in the midst or rock and roll hoopla.... go Flowers' and go people like you.
My favorite singer of all time. Thank you Brandon for sharing your KIller music, lyrics, face, and gifts with the rest of us. Your music has helped me heal in many ways... I listened and cried to "Dustland Fairytale" during the last weeks of my Fathers battle with cancer.. and many other songs of yours have left a fire burning inside my soul. Please continue to share your gifts.. and please always tour Utah. :)
Brandon, your latest album, Flamingo, is one of the best I've heard in all of popular music in the past ten years. Thanks for sharing this even better side of you. I stand with you, my friend.
I admire Brandon so much for his courage to be different in the cut-throat music industry, he is both unique in style and sound, I have been lucky enough to see his band live, and I can't wait to see them again soon.
I really admire Brandon, he has such a lovely family! His wife looks so sweet... I like more him now after knowing he follows the church and he has this kind of life, he is so sweet with his kids, and they are gooorgeous kids...Just love him!
Brandon, my wife's stock went through the roof when she surprised me with two tickets to your concert at Salt Air! She had placed the tickets in my Easter basket of all places!? I'm lucky to have her and we have enjoyed your music on all of our road trips!! Thank you for your humility, your humanity , and your courageous faith.
Had the awesome chance to live in the same ward as his brother :) he definitely comes from an amazing family!! Love his example and his talley! Keep it up Brandon!
Thanks for doing this Brandon! Been a fan since the first time I heard Somebody Told Me and will continue to be for years to come! I can't wait to show this to my girls in YW. You can be cool AND follow the teachings of the church!
Brandon! YOU ARE MY HERO! I also want to uplift people with my music; I want to uplift people by the way I live. I think we spend a lot of time trying to figure out what is really important in life, and it always comes back to family for me. Family, if not the one you were raised in, the one you hope to have one day. I love music and your music has inspired me to be better...especially your new solo stuff. It is compelling.
BRANDON FLOWERS! You will have a whole new group of fans! They will then wonder why your music isn't played ALL day long on the radio! Great music, great video, good on ya for standing up and saying, why yes world "I'm a Mormon", keep it up and finally please come back to Utah soon! MKM
After seeing a couple NFL players doing these videos, I was wondering when Brandon was gonna do one. I Love the Killers, I love Brandon, I love his music, and I love that he still knows what's important in life.
brandon flowers ismy hero. here is a man that is able to stand for what he beleives in and to live it as well as he does despite the lifestyle of a singer. i hope i can be like him when i get older
Imagine if your dad was the lead singer of the Killers. Flippin' BRANDON FLOWERS was your DAD, but you're also just a normal Mormon kid, and someone's like: "OMG! I love the Killers, the lead singer is so hot!", and you just stand there like yup. That would my daddy-o.
I love you Brandon! I'm so proud of him for standing up for his beliefs, that takes a lot of courage in his business. We need to be examples that its okay to be religious and have beliefs. Its a good thing and doesn't mean you're crazy! :) Killers music has inspired me so much, and this is awesome!
This has just made my day bro!!! Myself, I have been through some trials and hard times internally with myself but with good music came good feelings and hope for brighter days. I have to admit that I used to listen to your band during my mission and it would help me get over the things that I would be struggling with. I know that I was probably was not supposed to listen to non-church music during my mission but it helped me get through the fiery-darts of the devil..., so I say THANK YOU! :)
Always loved your music Brandon, but you just scored more points in my book by publicly declaring your faith than any of your songs could have done. And that's saying something considering how amazing your music is!
It seems like it would be difficult to live the standards of the Church while participating in a rock band. Kudos to Mr. Flowers for making church and family a priority in an environment where those things are not popular.
Admittedly, I usually thumbs down the mormon videos, but I really like the killers, brandon flowers; I was very surprised to come across this video, figured it deserved a thumbs up :)
Brandon Flowers is a great example of integrity, & has been blessed because of his faith in the Lord, and in making correct choices. I was 20 when I joined the church and it has been the best decision I have made. I am now 40, have four great children, & a terrific husband. I even have a 16 year old who has found her identity, and knows that without the gospel, she'd be lost. If you have no idea as to who we are...talk to the missionaries. No one is perfect, and no one should judge. God bless!
little bubbies x the reason why we all get up in the morning and smile :) ...what a beautiful family. Its interesting to hear Brandon's experience of meeting other ex-mormons out there in the jungle, and having that discussion where we joke about how silly the religion is, and how "we are so much smarter and cool now" ... but we were kidding ourselves while we did things that never made us happy, they made us miserable, confused and lost. I can testify that as a lost mormon, when I was out there in the danger zone, satan used to go out of his way to make me feel very comfortable, and get invited to all the best, coolest parties, with all the best drugs a lost soul could want. I was aware of his influence everywhere, it was never malicious, it was distracting, it was comforting, it made me feel special ...and that is very seductive, but when satan backs you into a corner, or a deep dark hole that is when he pounces. I doubt everything everyday, but when I see other decent lds souls, it reaffirms that this is the best answer out there, there is no other. If there is a better more complete, and well organised religion out there, I am not aware of it. 🤎 -oh and I am still lost, I even removed my name from the LDS membership, yet I keep returning again and again and again, but I still doubt it all. I wish that I could get an honest testimony of its truth, I think my anger at being ill all the time makes me resent god. (why am I posting such personal stuff here, perhaps in the hope that god reads online posts and comments lol)
Don't know much about the Killers, and I couldn't even tell you the name of one song they sing. However, I will tell you that this seems to be a great man. Thank you for sharing something personal with the world. That is true Manhood.
I just love Brandon Flowers a lot. He is such a classy guy! Plus I feel like I know him even though I don't. Probably because he had the same music teacher in school that I did, he is mormon like me, and he grew up in Nephi Utah. Everytime I drive through Nephi I listen to a killers song :)
I don't share his religious beliefs, but I respect his commitment to his faith and bravery to express his views, especially within the music industry where so much negativity and materialism exists. Beautiful man and family. I'll definitely continue to follow his career and listen to his gorgeous voice. It's a truly wonderful, expressive one; a definite gift.
My name is Brandon Flowers, I'm a husband, father, a Mormon, and I'm Mr.Brightside
I love The Killers, and Brandon Flowers. I love how he can be a father, a husband, and a great musician at the same time. We need more people like Brandon.

Brandon Flowers is a great man and father. Isn’t that the greatest compliment one can receive ? 👍🏻

Gabby DeLorean how is he a hero? Has he served in the military? Or just because he is a mormon?
I'm sat here watching this video in tears because he looks so happy with his family and he made it to a place in life where I want to be, I'm scared i'll never get there and I know i have to become more familiar with rejection...I just want to change the world, No matter how I do it. I want to die knowing i've acheaved something and i've helped someone in the world and that I won't be forgotton..I hope I can acheve this with my music as he has done.
I hope you've been able to achieve great things :)
How refreshing to see such a gentle soul in show business
I like him even more now.
I'm not a Mormon but every one I've met seems really nice ^^ Brandon is awesome!

With all sincerity, good for the Mormons to have such a talented man on their religion.
We have lots of celebrities and musicians in our religion.
Christopher Rees Jon Heder from Napoleon Dynamite and Aaron Eckhart who played Two-Face.
they have lots of talent, just google, mormon oil painters. BYU really pushes to actively search and support the arts, it's a way for them to expand the church's power.

He's a human just like anyone else
...or is he a dancer?
Comment win
i choked on my water
Why the dislikes? Nobody is asking anyone to be Mormon, it's just a video of a badass, and his awesome personality!
Amazing guy! So impressed by him for declaring his beliefs boldly in an industry and world that has those who would try to ruin him for doing so. He is so courageous... like his son's namesake. We need more people in this world like him. Thank you Brandon Flowers!!!!!!!!!! :)

Good for you Brandon, I love the Killers even more.
It's neat that he hung on to the values of life. It show how wonderful his family was growing up and now he gets to show and teach those values to his children.
I was always proud of you, Brandon, but now I am more so. Congratulations for being proud of being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Actually refreshing to see a sober, non-ego driven musician in this day and age.

Brandon is just the best in the business. I’d love to shake his hand one day.
After seeing a couple NFL players doing these videos, I was wondering when Brandon was gonna do one. I Love the Killers, I love Brandon, I love his music, and I love that he still knows what's important in life.
OMG he is a blessing!!!! his songs are so beautiful and perfect
He always brings tears to my eyes everytime i listen to him :'D
brandon flowers ismy hero. here is a man that is able to stand for what he beleives in and to live it as well as he does despite the lifestyle of a singer. i hope i can be like him when i get older
Love it, love it, love it. SO impressive! SO sweet! Brandon Flowers=Awesome.
I have a lot of respect for him. Most, if not all people that enter into fame and fortune leave the church. He's a great example to all
This is awesome!!! Brandon Flowers strengthened my testimony of our Church!!!
congratulations on having such a beautiful family Brandon you deserve it, bless your heart for you to continuew blessing us your music
Imagine if your dad was the lead singer of the Killers. Flippin' BRANDON FLOWERS was your DAD, but you're also just a normal Mormon kid, and someone's like: "OMG! I love the Killers, the lead singer is so hot!", and you just stand there like yup. That would my daddy-o.
I love you Brandon! I'm so proud of him for standing up for his beliefs, that takes a lot of courage in his business. We need to be examples that its okay to be religious and have beliefs. Its a good thing and doesn't mean you're crazy! :) Killers music has inspired me so much, and this is awesome!
I have SO MUCH respect for Brandon after this!
Brandon Flowers is in my cousins ward in Las Vegas, even though he is like never there because he is on tour all the time.
Thanks for your example Brandon!
Awesome! The gospel through of the music! The church extends in the world!!!!!
Brandon Flowers is awesome! I feel so connected to him and his music.
no wonder i love this band!!!! The Killers are awesome!! Beautiful music and beautiful lyrics!
This has just made my day bro!!! Myself, I have been through some trials and hard times internally with myself but with good music came good feelings and hope for brighter days.

This is so great! I love that he has a family and is a great example to people of how you don't have to give into worldy things to do something great.
"...a chamber in your heart." so true.
Good for you Brandon! I am glad to see there are some good examples still out there. That is beautiful. Keep it up!!
Seems like a decent man and a cool musician. Respect.
Thank for telling your story Brandon.
Admittedly, I usually thumbs down the mormon videos, but I really like the killers, brandon flowers; I was very surprised to come across this video, figured it deserved a thumbs up :)

thanks Brandom for those words!!!!I will keep taking my children to church!!!!!
little bubbies x the reason why we all get up in the morning and smile :) ...what a beautiful family.

I can testify that as a lost mormon, when I was out there in the danger zone, satan used to go out of his way to make me feel very comfortable, and get invited to all the best, coolest parties, with all the best drugs a lost soul could want. I was aware of his influence everywhere, it was never malicious, it was distracting, it was comforting, it made me feel special ...and that is very seductive, but when satan backs you into a corner, or a deep dark hole that is when he pounces.
I doubt everything everyday, but when I see other decent lds souls, it reaffirms that this is the best answer out there, there is no other.
If there is a better more complete, and well organised religion out there, I am not aware of it. 🤎
-oh and I am still lost, I even removed my name from the LDS membership, yet I keep returning again and again and again, but I still doubt it all. I wish that I could get an honest testimony of its truth, I think my anger at being ill all the time makes me resent god. (why am I posting such personal stuff here, perhaps in the hope that god reads online posts and comments lol)
And came back 8 years later to rewatch this video, long life Mr. Flowers
my heart has just melted in every single way.
Don't know much about the Killers, and I couldn't even tell you the name of one song they sing. However, I will tell you that this seems to be a great man. Thank you for sharing something personal with the world. That is true Manhood.
So inspiring. I respect Brandon Flowers so much. Legend :)
I just love Brandon Flowers a lot. He is such a classy guy! Plus I feel like I know him even though I don't. Probably because he had the same music teacher in school that I did, he is mormon like me, and he grew up in Nephi Utah. Everytime I drive through Nephi I listen to a killers song :)
Perfect example that how a family have to be even if they are a rockstars or bussiness man or anything.. Love u Flowers family ♥
Love that you have taken your talents and are using them for good Brandon. Keep going!!!Love the music!
