- Brandon Flowers ~ Cover of U2`s 'If God Will Send His Angels"
Amazing performance,would love to see this being released someday.Loved the look on his face @
5.00
Nobody else here baby
No one here to blame
No one to point the finger
It's just you and me and the rain
(This verse not on the City of Angels soundtrack.)
Nobody made you do it
No one put words in your mouth
Nobody here taking orders
When love took a train heading south
It's the blind leading the blond
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs
if God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Would everything be alright?
God has got his phone off the hook, babe
Would he even pick up if he could
It's been a while since we saw that child
Hanging 'round this neighbourhood
You see his mother dealing in a doorway
See Father Christmas with a begging bowl
And Jesus sister's eyes are a blister
The High Street never looked so low
It's the blind leading the blond
It's the cops collecting for the cons
If God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
Well if God will send his angels...
Where do we go?
Where do we go?
Jesus never let me down
You know Jesus used to show me the score
Then they put Jesus in show business
Now it's hard to get in the door, angel
It's the stuff, it's the stuff of country songs
But I guess it was something to go on
So where is the hope and where is the faith
And the love...what's that you say to me
Does love...light up your Christmas Tree
The next minute you're blowing a fuse
And the cartoon network turns into the news
If God will send his angels
Sure could use them here right now
Well if God would send his angels
And I don't have to know how /so where do we go
And I dont need to why
And I don't want a promise
And I don't want a lie/ where do we go
Just know I need you/where do we go
tonight..(long wavering oooh)
(I can't be sure if this is right but it sounds like)
"So now i'm sold out by your door"
(This verse not on the City of Angels soundtrack.)
(And I might not want my life)
(I want my lover feel my soul) / So where do we go?
(And I want my love and I)
(And I want to feel alone) / So where do we go?
How?

Such an underrated U2 song. nice to see Flowers giving it recognition
An underrated song from an underrated album. I hate that they’ve completely distance themselves from Pop. Because I love it.
Of course a religious nut would like these lyrics.
You know it's a great cover when you get goosebumps while listening.
The emotion behind Brandon's delivery of this song is quite something: He makes it His very own: epic!
One of the most underrated frontmen of any genre or decade, period!
I trust Brandon Flowers voice.
maybe Brandon is an angel sent by God...
As a U2 fan and as a Victim, Brandon just rock this cover!!!!
the drums and Brandon Flowers' bold and clear voice singing those beautiful words feel like a thunder hitting my heart
Oh my GOD! My favourite U2 song by my favourite singer!! I think i've found heaven!!
I truly never seen someone doing a cover of this magnificent song!, and I think that his version is outstanding!!:..what a great cover from such a beautiful song!!!..well done Brandon!
its a song thats not sung enough - for sure
He's definitely listening and talking man. Mr. Flowers is definitely a talented artist.
Wow. Where has this version of this amazing song been all my life?
He's so handsome!
He gave a different texture in this U2 song which amazing!
One of the best U2 covers I’ve ever seen
Still here in 2021 - I’ve been listening to this song since 2010 from time to time and it still is so great, so raw, love it.
Still here in 2022 :)
Well done Brandon! Huge U2 fan and you brought it! Awesome cover.
why is he doing this??? He's killing me, soooooo beautiful♥♥♥
The Christian Man is never alone, Mr. Flowers. Bono is proof. Love you sir.
I HAD NO IDEA THIS HAD EVER HAPPENED OH MY GOD.
A masterpiece!
Fantastic version of a U2 classic. Brandon sang it from the heart. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Seriously cannot take this man. Beautiful. And I adore this song. Oh Brandon.
God send him! 😍😍😍
5:02 I love that moment when he always looks up after he sings/says something
What a tremendous version of a tremendous song that U2 very rarely play. Absolutely brilliant x x x
Brandon u are an Angel! x
BRANDON SHOULD COVER EVERY U2 SONG, I JUST LOVE IT.
The arrangement of this song is so much better than the U2 version it's not even funny. Brandon makes it transcendent.
I love this song, and Brandon singing it is just heaven. The Killers and/or Brandon Flowers need to release a cover album!!! Thank you for uploading this : )
I loooove this sooo much ❤🎶❤
wow!!!!! is so beautiful!!! I think love this guy
Excellent
Would love to hear him cover New Year's Day or Sunday Bloody Sunday. Or Pride. Or Angel of Harlem. Or Bullet the Blue Sky. I think he would KILL it on Bullet the Blue Sky..."slapping 'em down; 100! 200!"
Jennifer Konstant The Killers did a snippet of Pride in the Phoenix Park back in 2013.
Wonderful, he made a good song into a country/folk epic.
i love this cover so freaking much
Why all songs who's Brandon singing are better than original? Ultraviolet, Girl Just wanna have fun, Shadowplay, Hotel California and more. Diamond Voice!
Brandon Flowers will never sing an U2 song better than Bono as well Bono will never sing a Killers song better than Brandon Flowers.
He really kills every cover :) Such an underrated talent.
true
Dawid Szeluga ,,are you Kidding me he sounds like shit
Maybe because he's awesome? 😁😚😚😚
Im crying now i wanted to go soo badly!!!
Oh my god!! que hermoso eres Brandon Flowers!
Very nice video! Very professional! He's so photogenic. Gorgeous looking there and gorgeous song!
@CraicAgusCeoil
Thanks for the nice comments,I wish i was professional,but luckily i had a good place with the barrier supporting my arms lol
Awesome cover!
Brandon shines on...
thanks for the share
2klime
I think we've all felt like God isn't listening anymore. There was a time in my life where I said He wasn't, and I walked into my grandfather's hospital room, the phone rang. I know it's silly looking for signs because if you look too hard, you'll never see the big ones. The way the world is makes everyone doubt. It's cold out there.
Fab performance of one of my favourite U2 songs x
I really love that song and I think Brandon did a good job with it. It's always nice to hear songs like this song sung in a different style, and it's awesome to see how much fun he seemed to have with it!!
Wow!
OMG he has done well
So well done! U2 are my favorite and I love Brandon's take on the couple songs he has taken on..
Great work Mr. Flowers!
I love Ireland and its heart Green 💚 Great cover!
I'm getting shivers.
Those drums...... F'N WOW!!!!
I hope U2 will play this song again

Was there that night 💜
AWESOME!
Great stuff.
I wish U2 played the POP album songs again. AMAZING album.
i was reminded of this song today, after the terrible killings in Newtown, US.
Great Performance and even better camerawork.......Cheers !
U2 Forever!!!
AMAZING..........
Thanks for pointing that out to me!
I'm a major U2 fan, and a member of both those sites since many years. Despite this, I had no idea about what you mentioned above. I was very surprised actually!
My bad indeed...
Still, I'd really like more contemporary live performances of Pop material.
Overall I wish U2 would vary their setlists between shows a lot more (you could for example have three or so slots that are interchangable between shows and switch between scores of amazing, rarer songs).
Awesome Lyrics and good performance! Search your path...
❤
Amazing:) thanks so much for the video!
Thanks / Merci ;o) !
I'm a huge U2 fan. But this is better than the original.
omg, thats amazing, i love brandon flowers :D and ur filming cause u got some well good footage :D thanks for sharing :)
5:01
ok..good cover!!!
he's so cute!!!
en la tierra, de Bono, que mejor tributo que este, con flores coantandoo
trremeeeeeeeenod tema
❤❤❤❤❤
now this is a good cover right here. wonder how he'd have taken on the single version's outro though ("and I don't have to know how, and I don't need to know why...")
If I could see the crowd I am guessing I would see a lot of puzzled faces wondering what this strange song they have never heard is!
very very good cover. It's not easy to cover Bono.
@tiredofbeingsorry74
Thank you very much! Great cover, he did this one really good!
Wonderful melody, great rich voice. And no lights and smoke and gimicks. Maybe this will start a trend.
16,000 of the views on this video have been because of me!! :P
@charcas67
tnx,it was my 1st time using it at a live event so i wasnt sure what way it was going to turn out
Tina Michaels, although Flowers doesn't sing the line, I'm 95 percent sure the line from the single version is "So I slow down by your door, " not "So I'm sold out by your door." Compare it with the frequent live addition to "One": "Do you hear me coming, lord?/Do you hear me call? Do you hear me knocking, knocking at your door?" Sometimes Bono substitutes "us" for "me," and/or "love" for "lord," in those live additions.
Nice
to listen
