I cry every time. Anyone who is pursuing their dreams understands the tenacity it takes and appreciates those who don't really get it but are still supportive.
The best part of this is that you really can't tell if Owen's character has made it as a successful actor. For all anyone knows half of Hollywood is as lonely as he is shown to be here. Christmas is quiet in Los Angeles. No snow so there is no push to be inside with your family. I spent my Christmases at the beach or at the movies. Successful millionaires with kids or not, loneliness is loneliness. And the hot chocolate really exemplifies what it's about when you're lonely... the little things, the cute comforts. This video captured it all so beautifully.
I come here every christmas evening just to remember how far I have traveled in my life and how much people I have met on my way. This song is my safe place and it will ever be. Merry Christmas and remember that you'll find your way no matter how hard things get
From someone who moved away from a small town to a bigger city, this song is perfection. Your parents are proud, but the climb is such a struggle. To be a thousand miles from your family trying to figure out who you are and what you want to be with no support system is a struggle. But as always, the killers get it
I listened to this song many times some years ago and I realized that you can feel yourself lonely even if you have lots of people around you. This song has this meaning to me.
Corrected lyrics (Intro) "Excuse me Harry Dean? Can I ask you a question?" "No." "Do you have any advice for somebody trying to make it?" (laughs) "Oh boy." "You know somebody trying to break into acting." "Do nothing." "Do nothing?" "Nothing." "Why?" "Why not?" "I feel like I've been doing nothing and that hasn't gotten me anywhere." "Well then you're in a great place then. You're nothing." "I'm nothing? "Yeah. I'm nothing. There is nothing." "What's the point, then?" "None. Simple, huh?" "It kinda takes the pressure off." "All of it." (Music) Woke up to sun streaming in my room One beach front palm December afternoon You close your eyes another year blows by Somewhere in the wind of just another life My parents sent a Christmas card and tennis shoes "We understand you staying and we're proud of you."

Of course she did I'm walking in Ventanas bar Trying to talk with Harry Dean I don't know if I can take Another Christmas in LA Another casting call on Thursday for a job that doesn't pay Another Christmas in LA Another burn out in a tak top who seems to bask in his decay A fat protagonist in flip flops with an extensive resume From Echo Park to Catalina Dreaming of a white Christmas The one I used to know Treetops glisten children listen To sleighbells in the snow Another Christmas in LA
I spent 5 years in San Antonio, all by myself without my family or any friends really. This is basically what Christmas felt like every year. Even though I'm not alone anymore, I still remember how much sadness this time of the year would carry with it.
This song kills me every xmas but I love it . I come from a warm country (moved with my partner to the dark cold europe) .So me and him will always feel the loneliness shown in this song not being with our families :( . When I listen to this song I feel my feelings are being heard, that's why I love it. It makes me sad sometimes but at least gives me some comfort :)
Half an hour till Christmas where I live. It's great how fast life starts going, it has its pros and cons. It's so easy to look at where you will be or where you have been and forget where you are. You get knocked, but you get up again! Keep on everbody, and Merry Christmas
This is brilliant. I bet owen loved the song idea since he's such a lovely melancholy man. The warren zevon reference and musical nod is choice as well. Thank you for another holiday gem.
@@Y0urMisterDirty Rosarita beach cafè is kinda quoted in the lyrics (and there are multiple references to Carmelita); plus, in the church bit of the clip, Warren is sitting behind Owen Wilson
I spent five years living in San Antonio, two timezones from my family. Since my family is very tight, it was quite difficult and sad every year when Christmas time came around. This was basically my song.
Songs like this makes you nostalgic for places you've never been to. I've never been to LA, let alone to a proper beach, never drank Sangria, nor have I even talked to a person named Carmelita. And even chronologically speaking, there are 5 more months for Christmas. 😅 So, was it relatable? Definitely not. Does it refresh you, or calm you in any way? Surprisingly no, contrarily to it, it makes me all the more uncertain.😅 Was it worth it? Yes. Yes. Yes.
The only Christmas songs that I listen to (& all year around) thank you guys looking forward to the 2015 one! Actually makes me want to spend a christmas in LA..

It's Dan Tanas bar to try to talk to Harry Dean. Harry Dean Stanton's favorite hang out was Dan Tanas. You will find videos of him at the West Hollywood hangout if you search for it. He was a terrific actor we lost last year.
This is such a beautiful story telling song and the music and voices are so touching... Can't believe it hasn't been played much on the radio. It's beautiful!
two ofmy favorite bands every what.a find this morning. I never heard this before WOW fantastic, being a transplanted New Yorker in LA soooo resonates.
I kind of wish it would've been old Owen Wilson at the end leaving the bar with a younger actor trying to talk with him, because that's life. People are replaced, so spend time with the ones you love now, before they're gone.
Странно, но с каждым прослушиванием больше нравится. Это, конечно, не те "The Killers" из 2004, но ведь тоже неплохо. Не динамичная, но грустная композиция.
This song has a universal appeal for highlighting a different side of Christmas, but it definitely hits the feeling of being a working professional in the LA area.
En relidad conocí a the killers este año pero puede decir en tan poco tiempo, que esta banda , es la mejor que e escuchado asta ahora, espero conocer mas de esta excelente música .
"we understand you staying and we're proud of you" is such a powerful line.
I think alot of people can relate to the idea of this song.
zura iashvili Yeah man :) its a beautiful song
I cry every time. Anyone who is pursuing their dreams understands the tenacity it takes and appreciates those who don't really get it but are still supportive.
Relatable af. The songwriting here it's phenomenal.
Every year for the past 22 years. 🎄💔
This song gets better and better every year.
I propose every year on Christmas, we all meet here on this video. Who's in?
Why not?
Im in brothers and sisters, i love this song, its so sad that isn't in Spotify
I’m in see you next year
See you next year mah doods
@@lup3ortiz649 sounds good Coach Steve *arm stretch*
This is one of not many Christmas songs that expresses loneliness during Christmas time. This makes this song different and I like it a lot.
Not everyone gets to be with their families during the Christmas season :(
If you'd rather avoid your family during Christmas because of dysfunction, alcoholism, mental illness, are you not lonelier?
Back again for another Christmas with The Killers. This has become my favorite of their Christmas tunes.
Is anyone back here this year? I love this song so much. A Christmas regular for me. God bless you all x
I think everyone is here for that same reason:) well at least i am such a beautiful song makes me feel nostalgia and i dont even live in LA
The best part of this is that you really can't tell if Owen's character has made it as a successful actor. For all anyone knows half of Hollywood is as lonely as he is shown to be here. Christmas is quiet in Los Angeles. No snow so there is no push to be inside with your family. I spent my Christmases at the beach or at the movies. Successful millionaires with kids or not, loneliness is loneliness. And the hot chocolate really exemplifies what it's about when you're lonely... the little things, the cute comforts. This video captured it all so beautifully.
amen!

Well said!
We all feel loneliness differently, but this video sums it up so well.
i live in a country where never snows and thats doesnt stop anyone to see their fams
i iived in san diego looking for christmas cheer 20 yrs ago and i know its not LA but its just not the same as where i'm from in VA
It's funny I'm from la and christmas always felt like christmas but that's cause its home. It's not the place it's just whether your home or not.
Owen Wilson is pretty damn good in melanchonic roles! Thumb up for him!
It's a shame he doesn't do more serious roles. I find him to be a very capable dramatic actor.
I come here every christmas evening just to remember how far I have traveled in my life and how much people I have met on my way. This song is my safe place and it will ever be. Merry Christmas and remember that you'll find your way no matter how hard things get
I feel exactly the same ❤
The same here, merry xmas to everyone!
Merry Christmas, all year round.
Merry Christmas, just jumping into January ❤️❤️❤️
tks

I’ve only just discovered this gorgeous Christmas song and now wondering how it’s gone under the radar and not played in the UK 🤷🏼♂️
“Who do you think you’re foolin’ man, of course she did.” So good.
The Killers should do a whole album with Dawes! Their styles mesh well.
It's become a tradition that the Killers release a Christmas song
So beautiful.
Also, all the best to Owen. Good to see him happy and doing better these days.
Yeah was nice of the Killers to give an unknown actor a big break like this.
Hansel's so hot right now.
I listened to this song many times some years ago and I realized that you can feel yourself lonely even if you have lots of people around you. This song has this meaning to me.
Merry Christmas
More Dawes/Killers collaborations please!
I don't know why this song isn't as popular as the others, this is one of my all time favorites
Just getting round to messaging everyone. Merry Christmas, see you next year ❤️❤️
I love The Killers Christmas songs. And I love the voice of Brandon, always adapts perfectly to any type of song ♥
Every Christmas season..i listen to The Killer's Christmas songs.
This is simply the greatest Christmas song ever written
It’s good but don’t be ridiculous.
Perfect Christmas song. Thank you Brandon, Dave, Ronnie and Mark I love you guys.

Woke up to sun streaming in my room
One beach front palm December afternoon
You close your eyes another year blows by
Somewhere in the wind of just another life
My parents sent a Christmas card and tennis shoes
"We understand you staying and we're proud of you."
There's a well rehearsed disinterest in the atmosphere
I don't know if that's what this town gave me
Or if it led me here
And I've played so many parts
I don't know which one's really me
Don't know if I can take
Another Christmas in LA
Another pitcher of Sangria in an empty beach cafe
Another Christmas in LA
Hold me tighter Carmelita
I don't know how long I can stay
Left a girl behind in my old man's truck
Sometimes I wonder where she ended up
Maybe she got married
Had a couple of kids
Who do you think you're fooling man?
Of course she did
I'm walking in Ventanas bar
Trying to talk with Harry Dean
I don't know if I can take
Another Christmas in LA
Another casting call on Thursday for a job that doesn't pay
Another Christmas in LA
Another burn out in a tak top who seems to bask in his decay
A fat protagonist in flip flops with an extensive resume
From Echo Park to Catalina
Dreaming of a white Christmas
The one I used to know
Treetops glisten children listen
To sleighbells in the snow
Another Christmas in LA
The Killers carry on their Christmas tradition in some style. Great Christmas tune, full of melancholy... Love it
I spent 5 years in San Antonio, all by myself without my family or any friends really. This is basically what Christmas felt like every year. Even though I'm not alone anymore, I still remember how much sadness this time of the year would carry with it.
I just love Harry Dean and Owen Wilson. They are just perfect.
''Another pitcher of Sangria
In an empty beach café''
That part sound so amazing....:D
incredible lyrics and melody - captured it totally
Owen Wilson and the Killers! Excellent combination. Truly excellent song.
This song kills me every xmas but I love it . I come from a warm country (moved with my partner to the dark cold europe) .So me and him will always feel the loneliness shown in this song not being with our families :( . When I listen to this song I feel my feelings are being heard, that's why I love it. It makes me sad sometimes but at least gives me some comfort :)
I really don't now why, that song makes me cry every single year... but I still love it so much
me too. every year
Ohh, hello again...
And again!
GOD I LOVE OWEN WILSON.
THEN A CITY OF OWEN'S WILSON OOOH MY GOD
Owen Wilson has been a refreshing light in the scene of comedy actors, i love it how he does it.
Half an hour till Christmas where I live. It's great how fast life starts going, it has its pros and cons. It's so easy to look at where you will be or where you have been and forget where you are. You get knocked, but you get up again! Keep on everbody, and Merry Christmas
another Christmas song, thanks The Killers!!
This is brilliant. I bet owen loved the song idea since he's such a lovely melancholy man. The warren zevon reference and musical nod is choice as well. Thank you for another holiday gem.
This is my favorite Christmas song. And yes, I’m listening early.
2:33 Warren showed up and my heart melted a bit.
If Warren Zevon wrote an original Christmas song this would be it.
I just can't stop listening to this song.
my life is basically a cycle of 11 months sitting and waiting for the month I can listen to this song nonstop
The Killers + Owen Wilson =
2 years later and Dawes is one of my favorite bands ALMOST even with the Killers. Very underrated.
Man this song manages to put beautiful and sadness in one song, this song is so perfect
Universal had better release all their Christmas records on vinyl as soon as there's enough for a good 12" - love all of them.
Rest in Peace, Harry Dean Stanton.
Love the Warren Zevon reference in the song and video.. great song!
That's what brought me here. I'm a huge zevon fan and one of my friends told me about this
I caught Carmelita, we’re there any other ones
@@Y0urMisterDirty Rosarita beach cafè is kinda quoted in the lyrics (and there are multiple references to Carmelita); plus, in the church bit of the clip, Warren is sitting behind Owen Wilson
@@salvocaccamo8089 I never noticed that. That is genius.
My second favourite Christmas song of all time.
I was going to listen to the Vulpeck song, but then clicked this. Now I'm crying.
+VendibleUser same. here.
+VendibleUser me too
crying is babies and dumb bitches
Zintendo and you
*VulFpeck.
My 6th year coming back to this video every Christmas season
This song brokes my heart.
who cares it's May... still love listening to this song
i do too!had to listen to it in june :)
You know a Christmas song is good when you can listen to it any time of the year and still enjoy it
I've started to listen to The Killers because of their song called Shot at the night, and now they're my favourite band!!
I lived in LA for 20 years and almost every xmas there felt like this.
I spent five years living in San Antonio, two timezones from my family. Since my family is very tight, it was quite difficult and sad every year when Christmas time came around. This was basically my song.
Here for it again! From Ann Arbor this time around.
Beautiful beautiful song, amazing lyrics and nice melody!!
Love The Killers!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Lived in LA for about two years... this song is too true and breaks my heart!
This is such a good song, I physically cannot wait the whole year to hear it again
Come to Utah and spend Christmas with me Owen.............you will never be lonely. wwwhhhooooooaaaaaaahhhhhhhoooooooooooooooo Fuckin Owen yeah!!!!
My favourite Christmas song
Rip Harry Dean every year you tell me to do nothing
I can't wait for their new Christmas song for 2016 :)
I don't think there is one this year.
This year will be the last one, and to close the christmas single tradition, all the song will be on one christmas album!
Joris Swartjes hope it's just as good as this
NOOOOOO.
Tigre it's been out, but no vid for it. "don't waste your wishes." Its a good 'exitlude' but not a real new song
I miss the killers so much
me too.. but I guess they're releasing a new album this year! :)
For me, this song is as integral to Christmas as turkey, crackers and German markets.
Como todos los años 😁
Songs like this makes you nostalgic for places you've never been to. I've never been to LA, let alone to a proper beach, never drank Sangria, nor have I even talked to a person named Carmelita. And even chronologically speaking, there are 5 more months for Christmas. 😅

dear lord it's so sad knowing theres no possible way that this year's song could be better than this one.
oh but it isssss
The new one is class. Joel the lump of coal :)
I have to agree with this, actually. It's a great song in general.
and here in the UK its raining.
Strange it never rains here...

Hold me tighter Carmelita, with Warren Zevon sat in the back of the church… fantastic.
Animated Warren Zevon cameo! Love it❣️
This song is amazing. Love it !
I REALLY LOVE OWEN WILSON
it's gotta be Owen Wilson!
of course it's him
He has the friendliest voice, I swear to God if he could just narrate my life.
wow
Not trying to be a dick but why did this get over 100 likes?? It's obviously Owen Wilson

Woke up, the sun streaming in my room
Warm beach from palm December afternoon
You close your eyes
Another year blows by
Somewhere in the wind
Just another life
My parents sent a Christmas card and then it’s true
We understand you’re staying
And we’re proud of you
There’s a well-rehearsed disinterest in the atmosphere
I don’t know if that’s what this time gave me
Or if it lead me here
And I played so many parts
I don’t know which one’s really me
Don’t know if I can take
Another Christmas in L.A.
Another pitcher of Sangria
In an empty beach café
Another Christmas in L.A.
Hold me tighter Carmelita
I don’t know how long I can stay
Left a girl behind in my old man’s truck
Sometimes I wonder where she ended up
Maybe she got married, had a couple of kids
Who do you think you’re fooling man?
Of course she did
I’m walking in that tennis bar
Try and talk with Harry Bean
I don’t know if I can take
Another Christmas in L.A.
Another casting call on Thursday
For a job that doesn’t pay
Another Christmas in L.A.
Another burnout in a tank top
It seems your basket is the case
A fat protagonist in flip flops
With an extensive resume
From Echo Park to Catalina
Dreaming of a white Christmas
The one I used to know
Tree tops glisten, children listen
To sleigh bells in the snow
Another Christmas in L.A...

wonderful X-mas song
When this first came out I didn't appreciate it. Now I love it
the killers + owen wilson + christmas = ♥
Another to add to the list of excellent Killers Christmas songs
I love the fact they do one every year and never disappoint top top band awesome
This is such a beautiful story telling song and the music and voices are so touching... Can't believe it hasn't been played much on the radio. It's beautiful!
Esto me pareció una canción de navidad especial para los Latinos, que pasan una navidad con muchísimo calor. Nice VIdeo, Greetings from Paraguay!
two ofmy favorite bands every what.a find this morning. I never heard this before WOW fantastic, being a transplanted New Yorker in LA soooo resonates.
This song really will get you in your feels, don't fight it, it's okay ❤️
every year befor xmas i watch this and cry.
My fav christmas song.
this was super depressing. Owen Wilson always has a way of making me cry.
I kind of wish it would've been old Owen Wilson at the end leaving the bar with a younger actor trying to talk with him, because that's life. People are replaced, so spend time with the ones you love now, before they're gone.
Impressive animation work by a bunch of young BYU students! Love the song, love the Killers, love the cause!
The Killers Christmas album honestly has to be my favorite album by them.
December 2019 ♡
This song is a favorite all year round.
Странно, но с каждым прослушиванием больше нравится. Это, конечно, не те "The Killers" из 2004, но ведь тоже неплохо. Не динамичная, но грустная композиция.
This song has a universal appeal for highlighting a different side of Christmas, but it definitely hits the feeling of being a working professional in the LA area.
Beautiful song

The Killers can't go wrong. Love this song, this video, moves me to tears as so much of their work does.
