Every time I watch this (or any other interview with Brandon), I can't help but be impressed by how genuine he is. Thank you for your honesty and humility, Brandon!
New single was just released in Australia "The Man". I just heard it on Friday morning on the radio station as I was doing my deliveries (I'm a courier), and it blew me away. I was hooked from the beginning. They went to the phones and people were just saying they "loooooooved it!". It's a real departure; it's fresh, excellently produced and...did I mention fresh? ...oh...and it's fresh!!!
Vegas is full of Elvis impersonators too he must have seen many living there. Some rockstars pop pills like Elvis or drink to cope with nerves he doesn't though that's why he still seems a bit awkward off stage.
To Cynthia B: In Genius it explains that either:1) magic soaking my spine means doing acid Or 2) "As mentioned in the line above, he’s broken down and given up - through with waiting, he’s decided to confront her by going to her house. The “magic soakin' my spine” is two things. One, he’s very nervous. You know the feeling you get? The tingling in the back of your spine that makes your legs feel like noodles? Yeah, that’s that. Two, he’s past the point of no return - the “magic” is him being convinced she’ll take him back, all he has to do is confront her and talk to her about it. Maybe if she sees how much he’s hurting, she’ll take him back for sure."Hope u r still a fan. If it's abt drugs he wldnt say that on record
I would love to have heard the convo when he explained Some Kind of Love to Brian Eno... he was having writers block after his wife's suicidality, and the song is a gift to her and her struggles with complex PTSD after growing up with child sexual abuse and neglect. Such a powerful album for me as a survivor with cptsd.
Holy cow! Am I the only one that in every interview cannot help but stare at his hands and fingers and how freaking ridiculously looong they are! 😂😂🤣😂 he was definitely meant to play instruments.
You are so cute Brandon flowers! Love you with a passion ❤️😘😍🎤🎹🎼love every song/ album you have done! Saw you in Manchester on 14/11/17 and will be coming to see you in Bolton on 13/7/18... LOVE THE CUTE LAUGH YOU HAVE BTW 🤗🤗😘❤️
Cynthia Zapata I have met Brandon , I think because he is very shy, he is hard to talk to .. I don't think he did anything on purpose , maybe he doesn't remember what he meant when he wrote it (??). He is a very kind soul🌻
That's weird! I'm an English teacher and for years have used 'magic soaking my spine' as a way into poetry for 11-12year olds. We brainstorm three words; magic, soaking, spine, and explore their literal meanings as well as figurative and the connotations they have in a range of senses. e.g Magic: something unbelievable, mesmerising, delightful, surprising, thought-provoking, totally out of the ordinary. Same for Soaking, then Spine. We end up knowing that he's enthralled and dazzled by this girl, so much so that it affects every nerve and cell of his body right to the core of all bodily feeling. I.e the spine. The strength of his feelings is made certain from a mere three words. Genius. I use other songs, too, but this line and this song are my favourites to demonstrate how so much can be conveyed with only three words. ( But no words can express my shock at an adult who gleans nothing at all from them! Poor Brandon- what an insulting question!)!'
Dude there is no place like las vegas. I loved growing up here and still love it here. I'll live here forever. I've lived different places but I always come back to Vegas. 702
Can't wait for the new album! We've been waiting since 2012 and I'm sure they won't disappoint! By the way stop cracking your fingers, Brandon, it's not healthy! :D
So handsome.. And so shy.. Too shy for a rock band front man. His the only frontman i know who is shy and i've been listening to rock music since i was nine years old..☺☺☺☺
He’s a different man on stage, and Tana has said this in front of him. She said she enjoys watching it. She said that he’s an observer in everyday life, but he transforms onstage.
Well, regarding the whole ‘Read My Mind’ moment and it’s subjective resonance, as others have stated, it may imply that he’s carrying LSD to that driveway - but I’m not buying that. “...waiting on some sign. I pull up to the front of your driveway...with magic soaking my spine. can you read my mind?” Knowing this guy is shy in general and, was very insecure back in those days, it seems clear to me that the lyric means he has finally arrived at the doorstep of the one he wants and the nervous tingling that comes from a moment like that gets erased once you gain the confidence to knock on the door - feeling lucky, so to speak, IS the magic. Otherwise, he’d be spineless and Mr Flowers can’t be that - because we all know he’s The Man.
He must have been very sensitive about his family background when they first started. If you look at their cohort, many came from very wealthy or educated background (rich parents or parents already doing music or art related jobs). Kinda like a rich kids do art thing. Back then most of the bands all started in either LA or NYC. The Killers came from blue collar families outside of these cities. The band got so popular so fast. Wonder if there were lots of hostilities coming from others in the industry that think they didn't deserve it? Would be great to have a real memoir of this band in the future. The art scene has always been occupied by people from legacy or rich families; would be interesting to learn about those that breakthrough from the middle class.
after all these years he's still camera shy lol
lol
He wouldn’t be the same if he wasn’t completely awkward around cameras
hello hey told urh they’re is no ☝️ hahehaha as she can’t do every thing for u nessy she r fuk wit lov urh forever lov deniixxx c
That’s really cute
He's either the most awkward handsome man or the most handsome awkward man that I know of.
brokenstarships what does that mean
I think he's the most awkward handsome man.
Don’t get it. Handsome is up to you. But he’s not awkward at all. He’s totally cazsh.
You can-
You can say-
You can say he's pretty handsome awkward
Gorgeous isn’t he 😂❤
He has an incredibly soothing speaking voice. I could listen to him all day.
Brandon will never not be awkward in interviews no matter how many he does hahaha
He's so shy it's cute. He looks like a university student making his final year presentation, basically like me xD
He's so charming and gets better with age. The way he smiles, laughs, and his vooiiceee oh my oh myyyyy
My God he is beautiful!
Ross Guzman he is :)
aw yeah
He was once told he wasn't good enough looking for the Music Industry....interesting.
Inside and out
Not really
Every time I watch this (or any other interview with Brandon), I can't help but be impressed by how genuine he is. Thank you for your honesty and humility, Brandon!
If all my days are numbered. Why do I keep counting?
Hahahaha he's so nervous but it's cute
Not Ur Business what
haha
Goldendoodle Forever Hahahaha
God he's so attractive ! Hot fuss is still my favourite album !
Esra Dogan yeah hot fuss is the best
What a beautiful soulful humble man. Total opposite of these arrogant ass lead singers of many bands!!!!
He kinda used to be one of those in the past haha... I do admire his transformation, not everyone is capable of that
brokenstarships yeah the man is about how he used to be.
@@botneva but he was always a shy guy
@@botneva wdym. Can you share a clip?
@@barneyy6942 he use to have beef with Green day lol But he addressed it at Wembley and said he's grown now and left it behind
as a woman with complex PTSD and long time Killers fan, Wonderful Wonderful is truly a gift. Thank you Brandon ❤
Brandon is so thoughtful in his answers. I don't care how drawn out ever, because he's being genuine, I love it.
I love The Killers and Brandon Flowers' solo work. He seems like such a nice guy as well
This man......is perfection.
He is so handsome and so nervous, it's adorable omg
He's so cute 😍
Brandon seems like the type of good guy that would love u and do right by u in a relationship
Oh you know he is
Wonderful wonderful proves that!
You're living in candyland 😉
This sincerely makes me feel so much better about my social skills. I love it. Thank you Brandon.
2:10
*Nervous mouth sounds intensify*
He's such a nervous bean and I love him!❤❤❤
So glad I watched this, it was adorable!
Read My Mind is also one of my favourite Killers song, together with Everything Will Be Alright and Spaceman
Read my mind is the last song I want to listen to before I die
My list!!!! Sooo good
UGH Brandon IS SO CUTE I love ittttttt
Many comments on his nervousness, thankfully he never seems to suffer from stage fright. Thank you for posting this.
When he cracks his knuckles totally gives away his nervousness. While his voice is super clear, calm and steady
So thoughtful in his answers ❤ I’ve always loved him. He is just a genuine human being.
He is beyond perfect.
New single was just released in Australia "The Man". I just heard it on Friday morning on the radio station as I was doing my deliveries (I'm a courier), and it blew me away. I was hooked from the beginning. They went to the phones and people were just saying they "loooooooved it!".
It's a real departure; it's fresh, excellently produced and...did I mention fresh?
...oh...and it's fresh!!!
I get drunk on jealousy. Another blank check.
i love the honesty and full answers he gives, beautiful sexy man! i love the killers
I want to say something eloquent and what not I just adore his way of expressing himself. in love !
Thank you for posting... I LOVE him!
Reminds me of a young Elvis. Humble, shy, talented, self depreciating and proud of his faith.
Vegas is full of Elvis impersonators too he must have seen many living there. Some rockstars pop pills like Elvis or drink to cope with nerves he doesn't though that's why he still seems a bit awkward off stage.
My baby was so embarrassed ahhahah his hands were nervous
I think he’s just a pretty solid quiet dude. He’s always very chill and articulate.
My heart cannot handle his beauty
I love him
damn.... i love him
Brandon oh so nervous but oh so AMAZING & just beautiful inside & out😘
He is so adorable.
So perfect, so charming, so MAGNIFIQUE ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I have type o+ blood.

10:45 my heart just melted
Also 12:58 😣
15:36 😍
16:30 sooo sweet😢
He is so smart and handsome 🤩
This was the cutest damn thing, omg!
jovyTV Were you telling God that ?
They never talk about Sawdust, which is one of my favorite albumns.
He blows my mind
Two minutes in and I'm doubled over laughing. He's a great musician and character.
Thank you for posting this

He is still a cutie
Holy cow! Am I the only one that in every interview cannot help but stare at his hands and fingers and how freaking ridiculously looong they are! 😂😂🤣😂 he was definitely meant to play instruments.
Literally 😩😂❤️ Perfect hands!
One of the recommended videos at the side of this video is "The Science of Awkwardness"
I laughed out loud 😂
You are so cute Brandon flowers! Love you with a passion ❤️😘😍🎤🎹🎼love every song/ album you have done! Saw you in Manchester on 14/11/17 and will be coming to see you in Bolton on 13/7/18... LOVE THE CUTE LAUGH YOU HAVE BTW 🤗🤗😘❤️
gnfnr75 See you there 👍
He says sorry so much omg 🥺
Me too yet I don't regenerate.
Cynthia has already secured a future talk with Mr.Flowers, haha...Jeaulosy..
I have leprosy.
What an extraordinary person. I always imagined he would be extroverted and egocentric- how wrong I was! A humble, quiet man of faith! Amazing
I wanna feel how Belinda Jane must have felt when Brandon said her name is nice.
stoked for the new album. and i love knopfler so that'll rule. but POOR CYNTHIA!
it was lowkey cute when he got shy tbh
wow, never knew that killers frontman is so cute
Cynthia don't be sad he struggles with questions anyway!
Thank you for this,
VERY excited to hear Knopfler on there!
ShannonF27 - You can hear some Knopfer/Bowie sounds on 'The Man'
I just love this artist Sweet, smart, hott , brilliantly talented PEACE
I'm Cynthia lol
aw! still a fan?
Natalie Di Forever a victim ❤️🙏🏼
Yes! 🙏
Cynthia Zapata I have met Brandon , I think because he is very shy, he is hard to talk to .. I don't think he did anything on purpose , maybe he doesn't remember what he meant when he wrote it (??). He is a very kind soul🌻
It's a spiritual lyric, and what it means to him may not mean the same thing to you, or me, or ....
He's a hundred times more comfortable being interviewed by fans than by journalists. Such a thoughtful guy.
He’s so cute I actually can’t handle it
Mark Knopfler on the guitar!!! Daaaamn my excitement just went through the roof
I love him so much❤

he's too cute
I lovvvvve him in a suit. Oh my god. I love him. He is very gentle, polite, humble, mannered, sweet and kind.
The way he says "record"
I agree with him. Wonderful Wonderful is one of the best songs.
Knopfler was on an album from the killers, too? I didnt know that... OMG, theres no doubt, brandon is so so great
♥
Sizzle lurking. That is so great.
Dude there is no place like las vegas. I loved growing up here and still love it here. I'll live here forever. I've lived different places but I always come back to Vegas. 702
Music is too damn addictive!!!
É impossível prestar atenção nesta entrevista, esse homem é hipnotizante. ....lindo demais. ..misericórdia....
I love a dustland fairytale and sams town
Lmao at the end when Brandon reads "you're new album" and has to stop and compose himself
I didn't notice, in which part is that?
Comming out of my cage and I'm doing just fine
Can't wait for the new album! We've been waiting since 2012 and I'm sure they won't disappoint! By the way stop cracking your fingers, Brandon, it's not healthy! :D
He just gets better and better looking.
"Magic soaking my spine" I thought was about pleasure
Read My Mind is my favourite Killers song too
He’s The Man 👑
So handsome.. And so shy.. Too shy for a rock band front man. His the only frontman i know who is shy and i've been listening to rock music since i was nine years old..☺☺☺☺
He’s a different man on stage, and Tana has said this in front of him. She said she enjoys watching it. She said that he’s an observer in everyday life, but he transforms onstage.
He’s a good Mormon boy ... supposed to be humble and nice 🙏🏾
We love u Mr flowers 💐 ❤️
I liked it. Thanks!

Guapísimo!
handsomeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
He has a really nice accent
He doesn't have an accent
He's from Las Vegas. That's where he got his "accent".
Why isn't your team screening these q's Before you're on air to weed out the Repeats ?!
He must have been very sensitive about his family background when they first started. If you look at their cohort, many came from very wealthy or educated background (rich parents or parents already doing music or art related jobs). Kinda like a rich kids do art thing.

Damn, Cynthia! LOL
