I love that Brandon sounds exacly the same live as he does recorded. He has such a unique voice! Love,Love,Love him and Love The Killers!
Same I freaking love him especially for that reason too
Marianne Ostmann This is completely true.. I was lucky to hear him live in Berlin and he was absolutely amazing, such a fantastic performer Brandon is!
You lucky woman you Martina Belasova!
+Marianne Ostmann I just saw him last night in Portland and god it's incredible. I felt like I was just listening to my iPod. His voice is so perfect!
Really digging #TheDruryBrothers and #TheKillers acoustic vibes
Brandon Flowers seems like a very genuine person. He has a wholesome air and a humbleness that shines through in his demeanor and music. He's real refreshing, he's a rock-star but a stable family man.
He is perfection
Truly said. I've never seen or heard him behaving like the spoiled-in-fame kind of stars. Everything is so unique about him, and about the band too, and then there's this simplicity. Respect.
Aru Shi he did have some drama with some bands in the past though but he has definitely changed. I think the song The Man is about how he was arrogant and stuff.

@@simonvv1002 Best band in last 15 years... not that I disagree, but would you call it self awareness or overconfidence? I think that Keane is also an incredible band...and I'll rate them higher than the Killers in terms of compositions.
He’s literally a normal guy, a parent, a son and a husband, he’s so humble and down to earth, not letting the fame get to him, it’s one of the many things i love about The Killers!
he's also a mormon so thats not normal
@@Lmclean89 lol
he's a coke head, not too normal imo
@@miguelelgueta5830 really really doubt that
True
Stars are blazing like rebel diamonds , cut out from the sun.....
I discovered this video a couple of years ago. I was going through a very fucking dark time, the worst year in my life. I remember it was like 6AM and I stumbled into my room with half a bottle of Jack and just put on an indie rock playlist, and was gonna smoke ciggies and drink myself to sleep. But then this song came on, and for the first time in a long time I smiled. So cheers Brandan for helping me out of a bad time
Brandon's songs pulled me thru so much ..
Yeah man allways play it when not in a place.🙏
I hope life is Shining for you now..Lifes so hard and everyday we breath , we just keep getting stronger😍
@@tiam9038 ❤🙏
@@paulgallacher1207 😍😇
Okay Brandon. We're gonna need you to release a full acoustic album and tour again with this amazing band. This is too good.
Lets start a petition for that
Yes please
i'll listen to that!
He’s such a great dancer
It kinda happening now :D
You can see Brandon is emotional attached to this song from his past experiences because he still sings this song like he just wrote it the other day
Or it’s just his job to do that
@@teddyholiday8038no he’s actually said that’s his favourite song
@@Crystalcloudzz nope you’re lying
@@teddyholiday8038 lol literally saw an interview a few days ago where he said it
This is a remake of Johny cash
one of the best songs ever written,,,,,no other way to put it!!!!
26 years old and lonely af. thank you the killers for keeping me company after all these years. ❤️
Chushpan 😝😋
Chushpan😢
Now the back up vocals is something
they really made the difference on this version
“Woman open that door don’t let it sting , I wanna breathe that fire again “ WOW
I am terrible with understanding lyrics sometimes. What does that mean? I'll probably appreciate the song even more after I hear!
i wanna breathe that fire again
Good. Go for it.
This is 7 years old & I've only just found it! Pure magic ❤️ x
Brandon Flowers makes me lose my shit.
haha!!! ;)
God yes
same here
Same, stay hydrated 💦
Tell me about it!! Its like he's voice reaches in stringing every note possible on my heart and soul...turning me into a human waterfall. The talented son of a bitch gets me everytime!! :-) ;-) ;-)
This song, specifically, this version, is my happy place.
HIS VOICE HERE IS BETTER THAN IT WAS IN THE STUDIO VERSION
Seriously, can we talk about those backing singers.
they're awesome!!
@@victormeki yes. They are fucking good
Love them! Incredible!
look at this angel in an angel sweater with his angel face and his angel voice
Physically, Flowers often looks almost ... childishly ... awkward performing in a studio setting.
But he is built to crush stadiums, yet its this video here, that brings me almost to tears.
A modern day band that will leave a legacy like the big name bands of yesteryear no doubt !
That’s one of the best unplugged performances I’ve ever seen. His vocals are incredible. Great song, Springsteen would be proud of it.
I always he should cover this
Choruses and songs in general don't get much better than this lyrically.
It's funny cause when they do it's a different The Killers song
These acoustic videos of him singing killers songs should be illegal. I'm literally dying
Christina Padilla Oh yes, he is to die for. LOVE HIM!
Mr and Mrs Padilla, I am sorry for your loss. I'm sure Christina was a wonderful daughter.
Love acoustic covers in particular w/a natural, effortless voice like... #brandonflowers 😎
He is a Killer
Probably the most perfect live song ever sung...the Murders on backup are Soo good too.
On the corner of main street
Just tryin' to keep it in line
You say you wanna move on, and
You say I'm falling behind
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
I never really gave up on
Breakin' out of this two-star town
I got the green light
I got a little fight
I'm gonna turn this thing around
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
The good old days, the honest man
The restless heart, the Promised Land
A subtle kiss that no one sees
A broken wrist and a big trapeze
Oh well, I don't mind, you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you go, can you read my mind?
It's funny how you just break down
Waiting on some sign
I pull up to the front of your driveway
With magic soaking my spine
Can you read my mind?
Can you read my mind?
The teenage queen, the loaded gun
The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
A southern drawl, the world unseen
A city wall and a trampoline
Oh well, I don't mind, you don't mind
'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Before you jump
Tell me what you find
When you read my mind
Slipping in my faith until I fall
He never returned that call
Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
I wanna breathe that fire again
She said, I don't mind, you don't mind
Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
Put your back on me
Put your back on me
Put your back on me
The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun
When you read my mind
I've listened to this about 60 times this week. Amazing version.
Me too.... can't stop listening
me too is a great version.
Me too. It's the best version ever.
Yup, me too. He’s exquisite.
Great video and performance! I agree!
I'm in my 40s and I am back in school. I listen to this song before closing my computer most nights. It is unbelievably comforting during this uncertain time. I am scared to start over, but this song makes me feel like it is okay to take a chance. Luckily, I have a very understanding and patient husband. "Put your back on me" makes me cry. 3:43 I hope everyone has someone who has their back.
This is so beautiful. There are five angels on stage here. The female backup singers are such a nice touch. Brandon Flowers is one of our consummate contemporary composers and cantantes. This is something like a perfect piece of music.
If you think they’re at their best here, just go look at Sirius XM with Brandon playing. The backing voices are angelic!
PS it’s him playing can’t deny my love
@@lukemimnagh4185 it’s not him singing “Read My Mind”?
I'm sitting here smoking weed 3 am NZ time 29 years old holding back the tears. This is one of my favourite songs ever. Best version ever . Makes me hopeful for the future and reminiscing on what was at the same time. 2022. Totally wasted.
I took my 15-year-old daughter to see The Killers last December. We've been through a lot together, and it's rare for her to be in a good place where she just feels good. It was her first 'real' concert, in the mosh pit, surrounded by fans, hand in hand with her Mum as we sang along with the crowd - the line 'cause I don't shine if you don't shine' hits so deep for us both, and has become our personal mantra. I love this band so much ♥
This made me tear up abit. My favourite Killers song played acoustic. It sounded great.
SilentFaces agreed... I felt the same way just now...
Same!
Same
Best acoustic recording of anything ever. Full stop. This floors me every time I hear it. Brandon at his platinum finest. Flawless and heart wrenching ❤️⚡
I’ve known his voice for a long time.. and yet every time I am amazed by its beauty🖤
i wish i could have been in middle school forever so me and my crush could listen to the killers forever like we always did
After so many years, this song still breaks me! Brandon's voice is perfect ❤️
Thats because it’s a perfect song
Those backing singers have such a heavenly voice 😍
the back up singers are quite impressive. damn brandon never gets old
Why am I just now finding this, this is golden 💕
i got the privilege to see Brandon Flowers a couple weeks ago and I must say that he is an outstanding performer. Brandon sounds amazing on his records and live. Talent just radiates off of this man once he hits the stage and puts his all into every song. I would give anything to see Brandon perform again and again. This version of Read My Mind is truly amazing.
I love Flowers much more in his solo vibe, this is his purest form.
+KKOPPI yeah this is pretty
That's real rock n roll lyrics. They don't mean a thing to anyone except the writer. Then one day they mean everything to somebody.
Such a Masterpiece! Leaving a comment to come back when I get a notification. Music are for moments!
I love this. When you strip away the rock productions of killers albums (which I love), they are basically country songs. He’s such a great vocalist
"Both kinds". Not country, but actual "Western" songs. The real Vegas in them.
So if anyone has depression, really listen to the lyrics. This hits so close to home. So many times, I think, “I’m going to turn this around, can you read my mind?”
Just realized I've been watching this video--featuring the best male vocalist and one of the greatest songs of the century--every few months for the last five years. See ya again in another few months.
This song just gives me such a beautifull feeling of calmness, neither happy or sad, just calm and content. Love that feeling. thank you for that killers.
His voice is everything.
I drink this in. It's so incredibly beautiful.❤️ Brandon.🥰
Makes me think of my son, Tommy, who loved The Killers.
Like a slice of paradise, hearing that voice.
"magic soaking my spine".... Yep I got the spine goosebumps listening to this.
Ooooft👍🏼
This song is so special to me but this version is just... I can't describe it with words, i love the lyrics of this song and yes, this is by far the best song they have written
how can I not comment....This is haunting. How I understand and interpret thid song in a way that is so thought provoking. And.......BF voice. I'v heard him say he was never a singer before...So grateful you discovered your voice Brandon and contiunue to cultivate that gift. We are the recipiants of your soul and voice. The lyrics say it all. You really want us to have an experience that you know only yu can deliver.
The man sings with soul and passion - Doesn't just go thru the motions like its a job.
Respect.
Sometimes when I’m sad
I wake up and listen to this song... and makes me remeber that I have had a good life, full of Love and friendship and The Killers 🥰🤩
Holy fuck his voice, absolutely STUNNING! the name "The Killers" sums Brandon's voice up superbly
I have no clue what I'd do if I get the opportunity to watch the killers live. I am crying while watching it on my PC
Jaziba Javed Bachh. I'll post pics in January. Best live band ever! #victim
I just watched them live last weekend and it changed me! I hope you've got the chance to see them!
You don't know love until you feel that calm glow of them and then your heart gets squeezed just enough to hurt. Yet it's still pleasant. And you're excited, and scared.
And really, really scared about leaving; more scared of it than dying because you have to live without them, and you don't even want to fathom you minus them. How can you pick up the pieces if they took them with them?
That's what this song is about.
Nothing would separate them from you because of your love. We must believe that to be true to be with someone.
It's not always true. Some people are meant to leave because of some reason. Maybe they never loved you, but more likely was it was hard enough on them, or they weren't no good and they should have gone. And maybe you should have known they were no good for you.
Some people are scarred from people leaving or abusing them and making them leave. I think that heals, but it takes time, and more than not leaving. My boyfriend was in a hard spot recently, he told me to leave, because 'everybody does'. Nobody else wants to make the sacrifices necessary to help him, to really be there. Because it's really hard, and there's little for you specifically to gain; it's not about you. Lots of risk to yourself personal and risk of failure. Maybe I'm wrong and I can't help.
I considered it as he asked me to. Weighed it like the Egyptians.
I guess maybe what you won't do gets pretty extreme because of love, because I was running scenarios where terrible things befell me and thinking, yeah, I could do that for him.
I refused. I want to try. I knew he thought giving up hope would be easier because it meant he could give up, he wouldn't have to try for my sake. Throwing that away throws everything away, bad and good. I have been trying since this, even more than when I thought I was doing everything I could and it was tearing me apart, tearing us apart.
My job now is not to make it better, as I should have known was his, but to be there. I got what he said. I had thought I did but I really did get it. Carry the weight when it's too heavy, holding his hand and listening, no pushing, not leaning too much. And now that he's taking getting better seriously consistently, and stopped trying to hide when it wasn't, it seems to be working.
I knew I couldn't watch whatever happened knowing I could be there for him when nobody was, knowing he could leave ME and leave a lot of effort 'wasted', knew full well just how easy it wouldn't be, and goddamn terrified of having what I wanted, everything being good, and feeling secure and having it ripped away from me.
Or being forced to choose between him and where I wanted to be and wanted to do... but completely willing to bet on being happy whatever happens with him. I knew I loved him when I thought of how often that hard heart squeeze would happen with no glow if I chose the 'easy' way and bad things happened. It wouldn't be my fault, since he asked me to go, though it was my choice to prove him right, but I know it would feel like my fault and I would be miserable. Watching from afar, helpless. And I would be watching because I do love him.
God, physically holding his hand has been so, so important to me. When he told me to leave I was so scared he wouldn't take it. I'm glad I didn't assume he would make me go whether I wanted to or not, or that he wouldn't take my hand when I told him it would be okay (again).
He's so special. Oh, I can't even describe it. I've never met anyone so incapable of ever looking down on me, as people seem to tend to do... the way he pulls me closer half asleep if I have a nightmare. I understand him more than anyone and he understands me and that is something to be treasured.
So many things that you know you don't want to let go, even with everyone you know telling you that you should try; somebody else may be good, ' ' better ' ', but everything inside you screams at the thought. Some things that language was not made to describe. Like his smile or the tinkle in his laugh, it's like a breath of life. It's so nice to love and be loved that it crushes, you realize hard things can be beautiful, and you're willing to fly close to the sun. You can take a little risk if you put your back on them.
Of course, if they choose them over you, they take along fewer pieces and it isn't quite so hard to put yourself back together (though it doesn't seem to make you forget about the good times), which is good for Brandon. Imagine if some girl tried to take most of the good bits. Hmpf.
When I feel down, I sing along with the lovely backing singers and it lifts me up.
Me too!!
Top notch, beautiful composition, one of the few singers who has come out of the 'modern generation' who can create and has a real voice, love it.
Pull up to your driveway, with magic soaking my spine....🎶 WOOHOO
This was the most beautiful thing i have ever heard in my life. Its been my fave song since 2007 and this version has me crying.
Even if its 70 years away, this will be played at my funeral
AshiesCloud
Well it seems perfectly fitting, because you look like the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life.
acoustic instrumentals enhance an underrated vocalist in the history of music. Maybe being underrated is a blessing for him. Some of the time vibrations of the human voice invoke a connection in us as human and as dancers.
I've just seen this for the first time. Left me tearful and emotional. What a beautiful song and man. 😍
It's annoying that you can only like this once.
This was our wedding song
Take heartland rock, make it acoustic, and all of a sudden you've got yourself some country music
Mindblown
This song takes me back to when I was getting kicked out of my apartment and the love of my life broke my heart. But still, a bitter sweet feeling it is.. so so so much love fornthis humble man and this amazing band. 🖤
Brandon doesn't surround himself with artifice. What an original star.
Beautiful voice! Please sing more of these! ❤❤❤❤
Yes please 🙏
Thank you for lifting me up...your voice always calmed me down...you so friendly, kind...so gentle...so awesome...so honoured to have met you👱stay as you are...you perfect.
I don't know why but every time I heard the backup singers it just feels like I am enter to heaven and angels are waving at me
This version takes the song to a whole new level. So glad I found it.
Coming back here 2020 for a pick me up. Such a beautiful song. Life is short people, let’s enjoy the beauty this world has to offer.
I can't stop listening to this. I need help.
How can anyone not care for this lyricist?
Bruce Garrick maybe because He has a faith in God even as a Mormon but the system doesn't want that kind of people as a role model, if u know what I mean. Anyway, he's a brilliant singer and as a person from all I know. Cheers!:)
@@kljsfid18 This man is the greatest talent on earth today... Let us all observe God...
kljsfid18 what the fuck are talking about? Flowers is one of the most famous rock stars on the planet. His lyrics are broadcast all over the world. He’s a role model to millions
Fui a um festival que o The Killers era uma das bandas a cantar, eu não os conhecia, e fiquei apaixonada, o Brandon tem uma presença de palco que me encantou! 👏👏👏
Awesome song and awesome voice. Going to Lollapalooza 2018 to see Killers. Dream come True!!
I really really really really really love this band
You said it! :)
The voice of this man is so unique 💗
I know the killers are a huge band but I feel like in a lot of ways they don’t get enough credit. This song is up there with Dylan and Springsteen stuff, plus he’s an actual good singer. I’ve always loved the killers lyrics they’re far from the filler refrigerator poetry of their era of indie rock, I feel like they’re very evocative and paint vivid emotional pictures, and like I said they wrote amazing ear worm melodies both instrumentally and vocally. I think Brandon is just a great vocalist. This was amazing.
This is a whole level of perfection that I never knew existed. His voice is exquisite.
THE VOICE, THE MEN, LOVE BRANDON
Absolutly LOVE LOVE LOVE Brandon Flowers and the killers.
there will never be a better song than this one and this version
The lady on the very left's hoop earrings are my spirit animal.
Angelic backing vocals. Absolutely gorgeous.
Wow! His voice is so perfect
I come back to this video so often. It's truly stunning.
Jaw dropping version. Unbelievable !
Inspires me to lose weight to wear horizontal stripes in a confident manner.
LOL
Brandon is the best
Seeing this makes me so happy because no matter what any newspaper or magazine says about a singer or a band, THIS is what we should really be focusing on. let me clarify: BRANDON FLOWERS IS GENUINELY GOOD AT SINGING, ESPECIALLY LIVE. there, that is all. I don´t care about what the media says about music. try denying talent when you witness it.
I've always heard good critics from media about them
Agree.....the media is the problem today....and he IS good!
Absolutely Phenomenal - Brandon is a Maestro....
This song hits home and his voice just digs, it’s beautiful, it’s unique. His voice makes my heart shake out everything that’s broken in me and then heals every single crack.
Brandon Flowers your music has helped me go through one the toughest parts of my life. I cannot thank you enough! Your music saved me.
I hope one day I get to hear you in person.
I don’t know if you’ll ever read this - Please come back to Sam’s Town, I missed it last time you preformed here.
I could listen to this on repeat for the rest of my life and be perfectly okay with that
This man is wonderful and his backup singer are amazing...
Ugh he’s perfection 😍😍
And the backup singers are amazing.
This version of the song is my favorite
1001 times listened to this song.. Love it ♥️
This is one of the most beautiful thing I've seen in my whole life. Its fuckin beautiful. What the hell brandon, you did it again.
Perfect! Great job on guitar boys! Beautiful girls!! Brandon = total stud!!! Killers live must be on every music lovers bucket list....
Such a voice. He makes everything magic
Brandon Flowers is a national treasure.
Absolutely beautiful.
