Damn, I almost cried in the "Now cinderella dont you go to sleep.." part. You can really feel Brandon's pain if you know what the song is about. Definitely one of the best songs from one of the best bands ever.
I mean they don’t have a song I don’t love but this song is just ridiculous. The David letterman performance is my favorite with the orchestra and all the violins. He almost cries and one point. The only thing that ruins it is letterman’s stupid jokes and lack of respect so I always skip over him.
@@lyndaframe1986 It’s a song about his parents meeting as teens and their family over the years. The emotional impact is mainly driven by the last verse. I copy pasted the following from another source: “Brandon said in an interview that his mother, Jean Flowers, was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer when he was putting the song together, before he recorded it in the studio. Knowing that her time was near, he wanted to learn as much about her life and all the knowledge his parents had to share, including the story of how they met. He then released A Dustland Fairytale with Day & Age in November 2008. When Brandon's mother had about 9 months left to live, he performed the song live with a full orchestra on David Letterman, a performance that is considered to be one of his most emotional. She lost her battle with cancer that February. Please remember the mother who raised him to be the wonderful man we know every time you hear this song.”
@@mcor1 thank you. I will look for a link to that performance. I appreciate you copying and pasting the info. I just feel closer to the USA knowing that Jean Yvonne Barlow was from a Scottish family and then met Brandon's dad💖. They did indeed produce a remarkable individual in Brandon. 🤩👍
not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the new movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my brother for the last couple of days =)
Esta cancion es acerca de sus padres que se conocen en el 61.Su padre era un alcholico hasta que brandon tenia 5 años. entonces "change came in disguise of revelation, set his soul on fire," habla de su padre que se volvio Mormon y dejo de beber. "His mom knew he'd come around." se refiere a que su mama sabía que él lo haría. "Now cynderella Don´t you go to sleep". Es Brandon pidiendole a su madre que luche contra un cancer que padece, aunque ella murio. Por eso canta canta con tal sentimiento
Saw them last saturday, the hole band was really passionate since the last time they played here was four years ago. When this song started the hole stadium lit their flashlights and Brandon just cried, took three minutes for him to continue singing. Even though i wasn't that close, the live performance of this song is always incredible.
@@wendystevens8428 It was at Allianz Park, São Paulo, Brazil. It was a event for the Grand Prix, some national bands played and then Twenty One Pilots opened for them
This is his best❣️ Didn't care for the Springstein duet... Altho, loved him on Letterman... But,... THIS IS" IT"❣️ May your dear Mother rest until we have our reunion, when FATHER returns❤️🙏✝️
Now Cinderella, don't you go to sleep. It's such a bitter form of refuge. Why don't you know the kingdom's under siege And everybody needs you. Is there still magic in the midnight sun, Or did you leave it back in '61?
There was absolutely no need to share this song with the Boss.This song represents the highest form of the Killer's art. No one can cover it, let alone sing a duet to it.I lost my mom early on and each time I hear him singing about everybody needing his,I sigh and hold my chest.Much of popular music is very good prose such as that by newer groups like Dawes.This is poetry.It is beauty.It is life for good or for bad..Wonderful.DaVinci didn't ask Rembrandt to help with the Mona Lisa.This is the best rendition of this song that I have seen or heard.Thanks.
I agree and I love your thoughts on this - from one passionate artist (me) to another. This music changes lives and the whole world for the better 💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶
Totally agree with you danieljudge...this is genius writing from someone who's clearly felt the pain and impact of losing a loved one. No one can ever come close and beat this performance. Listening to the killers makes me feel so effing fantastic I'm a very young 60yr old and unfortunately never seen them live yet. Best band EVER
No sabia el significado ni la letra de esta canción cuando los vi en vivo, aún así llore mucho, cuando entendí el sentido de la canción, entendí por qué habia llorado en el concierto...es raro, es de esas canciones que no es necesario entender sus letras para sentirla.
Absolutely Definitely My Favourite 🤩 Killers song 🎶 it really makes the Butterflies 🦋 Flutter & makes my Heart ❤️ like a Squishy Marshmallow 🍡lots of Love ❤️ XxxTracyXxx ❤️
Te puedes saber toda la letra de sus canciones, pero cuando te detienes a escucharla y prestarle toda tu atención, hay algo hermoso que sientes, algo que dentro de ti se conmueve por completo. Larga vida a The Killers
Saw this tour .. not at Royal hall clearly lol.. but in Seattle .. seeing them again for the 7th time .. and the 6th at the same Seattle Venue they’ve played in since Sam’s Town/Sawdust .. to see the mirage / Pressure tour ! 2 new albums we haven’t seen live thanks to the apocalypse.. unless u were lucky enough to catch a Vegas show before the world stopped
Fun fact, the line "We're drawbridges closing" and not "The drawbridge is closing". Everyone seems to get that one wrong, including me until recently. Listen for it.
5:34 yeah..poor Dave...I would’ve stood beside u bud all throughout. But that moment was just lol...especially when when one chic just tapped his shoulders in the end.
Look at 5:20 he has brandon back at his right, and the camera right behind him.he wears an acdc shirt.like he wants to show it to the camera and he doesnt even look brandon.I would kill to have him so close
A dustland fairytale beginning Or just another white trash County kiss In Sixty-one Long brown hair and foolish eyes He looked just like you'd want him to Some kind of slick chrome American prince A blue jean serenade Moon River what'd you do to me But I don't believe you Saw Cinderella in a party dress but She was looking for a night gown Saw the devil wrapping up his hands He's getting ready for the show down Saw the minute that I turned away I got my money on a pawn tonight A change came in disguise of revelation Set his soul on fire She said she always knew he'd come around And the decades disappear like sinking ships But we persevere, God gives us hope But we still fear What we don't know The mind is poison Castle's in the sky Sit stranded vandalized The drawbridge is closing Saw Cinderella in a party dress but She was looking for a night gown I saw the devil wrapping up his hands He's getting ready for the show down I saw the ending when they turned the page I took my money and I ran away Straight to the Valley of the Great Divide Out where the dreams all hide Out where the wind don't blow Out here the good girls die And the sky don't snow Out here the bird don't sing Out here the field don't grow Out here the bell don't ring Out here the bell don't ring Out here the good girls die Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep It's such a bitter form of refuge Ah, don't you know the kingdom's under siege And everybody needs you Is there still magic in the midnight sun Or did you leave it back in sixty-one In the cadence of a young man's eyes Out where the dreams all hide
There is good music today, you just have to know where to find it. Some of its easy to find, like The Killers because they've gotten so popular. Some of it is more underground. I find a lot of good bands on Pandora.

@@MonaRoo88 Completely agree! Letterman was so tone deaf and disrespectful. He probably didn’t even listen to the song or notice the raw emotion.
Please say more about this song. I know nothing here in Scotland 🎶💖

This is one of those songs where the live version blows away the studio version
Facts.
Totally agree - it has one thing the studio version doesn't have.... a loving audience.
@@dougieladd I think it's more than that LOL

@Hamza Paxton Yup, I have been using InstaFlixxer for months myself =)
1:01 I just imagine someone in Ronnie’s earpiece shouting MORE EMOTION RONNIE, MORE EMOTION
LOL😮😅😅😅
It's crazy to say.... Killers? One of the best bands in rock history. Imagine if they were around in 1975???
Best of 21st century imo... their catalouge is massive
@@thomasduray9163killers and arctic monkeys definitely the best of this century
Imagine if they were the 1975 I read that as 😂
I’m not sure there are many songwriters better than Flowers.
I agree.. I saw them in the summer and went home having speechless how good they were! Amazing
This song continues to make me sad, melancholic, happy and hopeful at the same time.
Best comment ever!
Oh Moon River what youve done to me.. im a mess just saw them in st paul, Mn by myself , im 64yrs old and this is music that makes me feel alive
Me too, I'm 63 and got to go last year to see them in ft worth
3:54 probably best moment in a concert ever... Everybody needs you...

This is absolutely everything a performance should be; dude just has a moment with the entire building. 10/10.
It was 2 nights put together.
❤😂😂😂 Perfect@Txturess
❤
3:37 breaks my heart, so much feeling and grief in his voice. Oh my heart!
I could watch this video thousand times.. just amazing
The greatest live version of any song ever.
Best Band in the world.
Anyone here in 2024? 😁
Meeee!!
me too
Yes
Brilliant in Glasgow
Yep!
Yes me having s fab time with the killers
That was Dave's moment, Brandon.

This is his best❣️
Didn't care for the Springstein duet...
Altho, loved him on Letterman...
But,... THIS IS" IT"❣️
May your dear Mother rest until we have our reunion, when FATHER returns❤️🙏✝️
A CLASSIC!! Brandon's voice and those strings break my heart every time I hear it....The Killers RULE!!
Now Cinderella, don't you go to sleep.
It's such a bitter form of refuge.
Why don't you know the kingdom's under siege
And everybody needs you.
Is there still magic in the midnight sun,
Or did you leave it back in '61?
God damn poetry.
💖💖💖💖💖
i love the killers
"Is there still magic in that midnight sun? Or did you leave It back in sixty one"
Hits me every time
what does it means? sorry, I'm not a english native
@@CanalMateriaGriz His mother has cancer and he's telling her to fight it (or she has no more energy from 1961 when she met his father).
@@methdd his mother was born in 61, slight variance from what you said but you are right
Such a Springsteen inspired lyric via Born To Run era
why does ronnie always look like it hurts to hit the drums
Lauren Campos passion
Drumming is a full body workout 😂
well at his level of playing the drums become a part of his body. He is just hitting himself
@@heyhuhh1366 eso explica todo
If you look really close, instead of hitting the drums, he's hitting his balls and that's part of the reason why The Killers sounds so good. 🤣🤣🤣
yo tampoco sabia en significado de esta canción, ahora entiendo, porque siempre la canta, con tanto sentimiento. Grande The Killers
Nostalgic video....I love this forever
I feel so bad for Dave when Brandon steals all his girls lol
Best comment
Jelousyyyyy
fantastic band the killers are pure class
the pinnacle!
Brandon poured his damn heart and soul at the end damn what a finish
Not many bands write a perfect sing.
Song is amazing
Legend
3:54 is the most magical moment in concert history. The passion in his voice is so amazing.
That's not just passion it's profound grief. This song is about his mother's death from cancer.
@@andreasharff1138 Not really
Tom T it is
@@andreasharff1138 Wow. Did not know that.
Why I love this version better than the studio version.
quite the beautiful here.
Wow!!!😀
that was fun... that was a good time
Desde el minuto 3:44 la expresión de su cara demuestra la pasión que tiene por este tema. Que según el, es la mejor que escribió.
You can just hear the passion in his voice ♥
Can't express the LOVE I have for this song.
Makes me tear up EVERY time!
I love me my Killers!
B-You're absolutely Beautiful!
Amo!
This is the most cleverly written and emotional song about losing someone due to cancer and the impact it has... genius and amazing❤
❤Awesome. 😊
The perfect ending , the best live , the most touching song , the greatest performance... !
Made me cry :c
Amazing song and band! ;)

Great artists usually don’t have a problem dueting with another great artist. I love both versions
I agree and I love your thoughts on this - from one passionate artist (me) to another. This music changes lives and the whole world for the better 💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶💖🎶
Agreed 💯 the Boss wish he had written this. The Killers covered Romeo and Juliet out of respect. Then they topped it. Respect.
Totally agree with you danieljudge...this is genius writing from someone who's clearly felt the pain and impact of losing a loved one. No one can ever come close and beat this performance. Listening to the killers makes me feel so effing fantastic I'm a very young 60yr old and unfortunately never seen them live yet. Best band EVER
this is the moment when your heart thump
this is the killers bohemian rhapsody..
Bro, this is a concert damn, this guy is a true performer damn.
Lol Brandon you could'nt just let Dave have his moment could you?
Oh my Good! LOOOOOOVE Brandon Flowers! "I need a moment"
No sabia el significado ni la letra de esta canción cuando los vi en vivo, aún así llore mucho, cuando entendí el sentido de la canción, entendí por qué habia llorado en el concierto...es raro, es de esas canciones que no es necesario entender sus letras para sentirla.
Absolutely Definitely My Favourite 🤩 Killers song 🎶 it really makes the Butterflies 🦋 Flutter & makes my Heart ❤️ like a Squishy Marshmallow 🍡lots of Love ❤️ XxxTracyXxx ❤️
That was awesome, great moment for those fans.
Soy caribeña y esta canción sigue siendo una de mis favoritas from THE KILLERS. Nada, que hacía falta un comentario en español aquí
my song
This is easily their best song and the best rock song of the 21st century.
katniss 🤟I agree ❤️❤️
I agree
That's quite a bold statement
When there's no smart phone , everyone just enjoy the show, good old days :')
Love that Dave is wearing a The Killers t-shirt :)
One of the reasons why Dave left the band, Brandon steals all the girls 😂
It’s 2024 and still this is awesome !
They are really underrated
De arrepiar >
💙💙💙💙💙
What song did he sing before this, that exhausted him so much?
Spaceman
he f'in' crushed it, too, man, it was sick!!!
I wish there was more in this song, 5 minutes are not enough!
Krog God created these four, to which I say well
done Lord, regarding this performance of Dustland. EPIC
Has there ever been a voice that sounded so perfect live
Such a good song, live from Albert hall was by far there best album!
Te puedes saber toda la letra de sus canciones, pero cuando te detienes a escucharla y prestarle toda tu atención, hay algo hermoso que sientes, algo que dentro de ti se conmueve por completo. Larga vida a The Killers
Amen hermana!
Que significa?
Though theese words are great.Much Like in Replaceable.Telling that young men does have hearts and heart-brokes.
Brandon n Dave looks like a Freddie Mercury n Brian May at the end of this song.
Unlike

The drummer.
Fun fact, the line "We're drawbridges closing" and not "The drawbridge is
closing". Everyone seems to get that one wrong, including me until
recently. Listen for it.
PhantommenacePC I always hear "with drawbridges closing" which seems to fit the idea of talking about castles
Are you a native english speaker? Cause I am not and I got that line correctly on the 1st time somehow
I love musicians who love their music and love to perform and share with the audience.
What a stellar performance! Lucky those who got to attend this concert.
This band needs to put out a movie with all their songs. Name it Sams Town!!!!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Anyone with a 2022 U.K ticket is in for a good do. Fucking brilliant at Doncaster.
5:34 yeah..poor Dave...I would’ve stood beside u bud all throughout. But that moment was just lol...especially when when one chic just tapped his shoulders in the end.
"I saw the Devil wrapping up his hands. He was getting ready for the showdown."
Greatest live version of this song ever!!
As intimate a performance as it can get in that type of iconic venue. Just beautiful.
Ficou muito show essa versão... Cantou com a alma 👏👏👏
This is just one of the best performances that have ever been in the world.
Das schönste Märchen der Welt !!!! Danke The Killers !!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sang this karaoke, last night...they liked it...but did not know the killers are the last inductees of the r&r h.o.f......sadly!...(the world is over)
i will never not cry at this.
Gorgeous song performed perfectly. But, damn, Bruce & Brandon singing it together might top this IDK
I love when he said i need a moment! brandon is so cuteeeeeeee!!!
Inspired by the French song « Cendrillon » by Telephone. (Itv of Brandon) ❤❤❤
Look at 5:20 he has brandon back at his right, and the camera right behind him.he wears an acdc shirt.like he wants to show it to the camera and he doesnt even look brandon.I would kill to have him so close
He's getting a pic with Brandon in the background. You see a person handing his phone/ camera back to him after.
A dustland fairytale beginning
Or just another white trash
County kiss
In Sixty-one
Long brown hair and foolish eyes
He looked just like you'd want him to
Some kind of slick chrome American prince
A blue jean serenade
Moon River what'd you do to me
But I don't believe you
Saw Cinderella in a party dress but
She was looking for a night gown
Saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He's getting ready for the show down
Saw the minute that I turned away
I got my money on a pawn tonight
A change came in disguise of revelation
Set his soul on fire
She said she always knew he'd come around
And the decades disappear like sinking ships
But we persevere, God gives us hope
But we still fear
What we don't know
The mind is poison
Castle's in the sky
Sit stranded vandalized
The drawbridge is closing
Saw Cinderella in a party dress but
She was looking for a night gown
I saw the devil wrapping up his hands
He's getting ready for the show down
I saw the ending when they turned the page
I took my money and I ran away
Straight to the Valley of the Great Divide
Out where the dreams all hide
Out where the wind don't blow
Out here the good girls die
And the sky don't snow
Out here the bird don't sing
Out here the field don't grow
Out here the bell don't ring
Out here the bell don't ring
Out here the good girls die
Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep
It's such a bitter form of refuge
Ah, don't you know the kingdom's under siege
And everybody needs you
Is there still magic in the midnight sun
Or did you leave it back in sixty-one
In the cadence of a young man's eyes
Out where the dreams all hide
Most powerful rock song ever man fucking wow from start to finish
Haha,that's too funny.I guess I should say its my favorite part too!
Poor Dave got jacked by Brandon :(.
Hahaha he was getting all the girls, but Brandon came up and stole his spotlight! LOL
I'm crying a lot
There is good music today, you just have to know where to find it. Some of its easy to find, like The Killers because they've gotten so popular. Some of it is more underground. I find a lot of good bands on Pandora.
una desilusion los ultimos cds despues de tres muy buenos trabajos , ya no hay melodias !!!
The Best Perfect!!
Every song by them is like that. Just awesome
Best performance of this live ever????
Aj United David Letterman with the String ensemble takes the torch
That was awesome.
