    This is one of their greatest performances live. The song was the perfect choice and they did it great.
    I got chills and tears at the end.

    This is one of those songs where the live version absolutely blows away the studio verson

    I can't imagine the emotion Brandon Flowers goes through when singing this song, and how he remembers everything about his mom each time :(

  • @elipegui123
    @elipegui123 2 года назад +14

    The strength in his voice and heart. How does he manage to sing this song live knowing what it is about.

      This song is about his mother. Whom has passed away. I'd totally understand why'd he get so emotional.

  • @ilovethekillers37
    @ilovethekillers37 15 лет назад +13

    Every time I watch this video, it makes me cry. The Killers get so much emotion and passion into their songs, I'm sure they're one of the most underrated bands of the decade.

  • @PleiadianResurgence
    @PleiadianResurgence 9 лет назад +23

    every single time the strings swell to those high notes I get chill bumps and the hair on the back of my neck stands up, when the song ends I am almost in tears. Every. Single. Time. I don't even care for many of The Killers songs (Human is my fave) but this one is just off the charts.

  • @Jwkartz2
    @Jwkartz2 15 лет назад +6

    I don't really cry, but the strangest thing happened to me while listening to this performance: my eyes were so full of water that streams of liquid salt came out of my eye sockets and I had to blink to avoid being blinded by them. It was very weird...

    I gotta say the killers are probably the best live band I've heard besides some of the classics. Such a great song you can Really tell Brandon puts his soul into this one since its for his mother.

  • @susandan110

    This performance blew me away!!! Absolutely fantastic!! So good to know that incredible bands like this still appear on the popular media, because frankly, everything else there kind of sucks.
    this performance was filled with passion. They aren't just amazing musicians. They blend together like few can, and Brandon's voice is absolutely fantastic. wow.

    Great musical arrangement!
    I love it how the harp starts first, then the strings, a break and then guitars with the drums until at the end only one guitar. Beautifull! Great song.

    I was at their concert in Miami last night.
    They simply rocked, they have really good sound performing live. They played hits and couple off tracks. Go see them its worth the money, or have friends that work for a newspaper and get extremely lucky to get tix practically free.

    Looking back at that first comment, I'm not too sure why I swore and came across as aggressive.
    Incidentally, on what I said earlier, I will say that this song is one of theirs I think I enjoy most, for the emotion in it and the thought behind it - the emotion and passion particularly in this performance.
