    About The Killers:
    The Killers are a Las Vegas-based four-piece who formed in 2003, featuring the talents of singer/keyboardist Brandon Flowers, drummer Ronnie Vanucci, guitarist Dave Keuning and bassist Mark Stoermer. The band has received countless accolades for their artistic achievement, including multiple Grammy nominations, American Music Award nominations, MTV Video Music Awards, NME Awards and more.Their first album, Hot Fuss, was released in 2004 to worldwide acclaim.The album contained the singles “Mr. Brightside” and “Somebody Told Me,” in addition to the anthemic song “All These Things That I’ve Done,” which has since been referenced by the likes of U2 and Coldplay.The band toured for two years straight behind Hot Fuss, playing more than four-hundred shows, and eventually returned to Vegas to begin to work on the follow-up album with legendary producers Alan Moulder and Flood.The result, a love letter of sorts to their hometown entitled Sam’s Town, was released in 2006 and spent forty-two weeks on the Billboard Top 200.A b-sides collection entitled Sawdust was released in 2007, followed by their third studio album, Day & Age, which was released to widespread critical praise in 2008, anchored by massive single “Human.”The Killers released Battle Bornin September 2012, which saw them expanding their world tour into countries they’ve never visited before, and finally were honored to perform at the world-renowned Wembley Arena, one of the most monumental and significant shows of their career.After a decade of making music, in November 2013, The Killers released a “Best Of” collection, Direct Hits, which featured two incredible new songs alongside classics from the band’s revered catalogue.The band, who have sold over twenty-five million albums worldwide, and headlined all of the world’s top festivals (Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury), released their newest studio album, Wonderful Wonderful, in September 2017, where it landed at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart the week of its release, as well a stopping the charts in the U.K. and Australia. The album is the band’s fifth consecutive number one in the U.K., and Brandon Flowers’ seventh U.K. number one overall.

    This song literally saved my life. I love the killers, about 8 years ago I downloaded this song, I never heard it before but I just did, I figured I liked the killers so I should enjoy it. One night I was ready, I was done. I was driving my truck around three in the morning I was on an one lane highway. It goes straight for a while and then there is a left turn to go back into town. I had decided I wasn't going to turn and I was just going to go off the cliff and be done. I already made videos saying goodbye to the people I loved, explaining why I did what I did . I just couldn't do it anymore. Anyway the song had already started and I was confused as to what song was playing, I thought to myself "I don't even know the song I'm going to die to" I was already driving, took my hands off the wheel, and closed my eyes and as I listened to the words I began to cry, I felt every word down in my soul. Hearing everything I needed to hear before it was too late. I nearly missed the turn but I put my hands back on the wheel, jerked the wheel and turned. I drove home listening to this song on repeat. I know if it had been any other song that came on I wouldnt be here. Thank you to the killers. For saving my life.

    I really needed to find this song. Its not my typical listening but i discovered it at the right time. Winter has been brutal on my psyche... I've thought about dying every day for the last month... a grown man struggling to fight back tears at his job, it's been terrible. But this song... the lyrics, Brandon's voice and the mood of the instruments have all sparked a great sense of hope in me. I do believe my outlook has been positively influenced for good. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to The Killers.

      Your comment along with the song made me tear up a little. I totally relate to everything you said. I've been recently struggling with high levels of anxiety, that just two months ago arose out of the blue. I've had several panic attacks in the last few weeks, something i never though would happen to me. In the first few weeks of my anxiety disorder i had to deal with very invasive and dark thoughts and emotions about death, and the uncertainty of my future (they still arise once in a while). Right about that time, a guy on Reddit (going through a similar situation to me, reccomended me to listen to this very song. He said: "it has this magical soothing quality for me, like musical Xanax".
      I couldn't agree more with that statement. This song isn't just music. It somehow speaks to the soul. It somehow reminds me that there is more to this life than just what we can see with our eyes.
      I sincerely hope you're feeling better now. By what you say it sounded like you really could use some CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). I've been taking it for a few weeks now, and along with other lifestyle changes, i've been feeling better. One day at a time.
      God bless.

      @hansolowmfers I just want to second your comment. Thank you for saying that. I really can relate to what you are saying because I have been battling mental illness for years and ignoring it, but I have recently made a diligent effort to address it. I have made a lot of improvements over the last 4-5 months but I still have a long way to go to restore my mental wellness and strength. I remember coming to this song when I first made the decision to take my mental health seriously, and now I come back to it every now and then as a reminder to keep being strong and persevere. I know that was a long comment, but my point was that it is currently getting me through one of the most difficult times in my life right now, and I appreciate your comment. Wishing you the best always with everything!

    Two years ago, one of my close friends was admitted to the hospital from an overdose while I was in college in another city. I was told be a relative of his he had a 50/50 chance of living. I was so terrified of him dying on me and me not being able to say anything to him before I came home.
    He is and was always a very quiet and reserved person, but to people he knew, he was always a hoot. Thankfully he made it alive, but all I did for two weeks was listen to this song as if I was saying it to him. The world didn't need to see an innocent life take itself out. I don't know why he did what he did, but I know he was hurting and lost. All I did was listen to this song and hope he made it. A powerful song for all who feel they're lost in life. You are never lost. Don't break character and rise up like the sun. Just like my friend.

    Absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt, The Killers' best song!
    Like so many of you, I heard this song at a severely difficult time in my life, and what a beautiful rare gem it was was to find (I bought the album on iTunes 'cause I was a big Killers fan back then; still am). I know some people were somewhat disappointed that Battle Born was not as guitar driven as past albums, but for some reason, I didn't mind it at all. I loved Brandon's voice throughout the whole thing, enjoyed its calm and pondering on your life themes.
    And then "Be Still" comes on, and it was like as if The Killers made a song about my current situation and mood in my life! A song dedicated to me! I sobbed like a baby... Cried during the whole bus ride, heading to a place I really didn't want to go to back then. I still cry to this song often, and if I'm with company I try not to play it so I don't start crying all of a sudden in front of them.
    It is just, a beautiful song, about perseverance, life, never giving up, faith, love. "Don't break character, you got a lot of heart" just breaks me, every single time 💔. One of the few song that made me cry.
    If any of you are struggling through life, keep listening to this song, you are all very, very special, and you need to keep going, so that you get the life you derserve, not the hell or current situation you are living in! I'm in a better place, still not in the best of places, but there is a great amount of room for improvement. And what would life be, if we didn't have the chance of improving ourselves?
    You are all precious, stay blessed guys.

      This year I went to college, I was so anxious about the experience, I always thought that things would be easy, cause I always thought of me as a self-regulated person (always very responsible, and kind of a nerd as some people might say).
      I've tried so hard just to pass all the courses, but it hasn't worked at all, I stopped caring about the things that are important to me; my hobbies, my friends and my family, damn, I was so frustrated (and I'm still kinda am).
      I've always listened The Killers, mostly the known songs, but about 2-3 months ago, I started listening 24/7. I remember that I was studying when this song appeared, and same as you, I couldn't stop crying, I just couldn't help it, I was so frustrated and this song made me explode. Thanks to The Killers I try not to giving up so fast, I know college is not easy at first (because that's what everyone says), and now I realize too that are other situations where people really suffer. Maybe this is a drop in the sea compared to your problems, and I kind of stupid complaining about this, anyway, I hope you're doing fine now, and keep looking for happiness. :)

    This song is getting me through some tough times right now. I've made a lot of career changes the past year. I'm 37 years old, single, with no kids, and I live away from all of my family members and nieces and nephews. I am currently in my second year of college to get my Registered Nursing degree, and this semester has been super rough. I put a lot of pressure on myself, and this semester has torn my spirits down after being a straight A student for the last year. Classes are hard this semester and the mixture of that while being away from my family, and having nobody local to turn to for help or guidance, or just having someone in my life to comfort me, has been super hard. This song is bringing much needed comfort to my soul right now, and giving me the desire to just try harder knowing I will get through it. Thank you Killers for such a powerful song!

    The darkness is so black and there's no light. But in the last minutes when I could feel my life slipping away this song came into my head. Be still. Don't break character, you've got so much heart.
    For the first time since my heart was ripped out I stood up and ran for help. This song saved my life.

    Is just like when you help a person in their hard times, but also you are in the same situation and want to escape too

    I Just Layed My 30 year Old Only Child Brittney Vartanian to rest last Saturday. She was Beautiful on the Outside but More Importantly even More Beautiful on the Inside. We fight to Protect the Remaining Elephants in this World.❤🐘 I will be Spreading some of her Ashes in Cambodia this year when I go Live with the Elephants & Also in India 2023 when I visite the Elephants there. Then her final ashes in Kenya Africa where I just got back from. A School in Kenya has already started Brittneys Books which will have her logo on each Book donated in her Honor. Ive already received post from people that were visiting The School in Kenya & were the firat to Donate to Brittneys Books. Its only been a week sence I laid her to rest. This was suppose to be the Opening Song being played as people walked into the Church. Technical Difficulties prevented that but I have posted it to her FB page with the Story behind it. No Mother should have to lay their Child to rest before them. The pain is overwhelming. I will ALWAYS MISS & LOVE YOU BABY GIRL. This is Always going to be YOUR SONG!🙏❤ Thank You Brandon Flowers for writing the Most Amazing Song Ever🙏

    I found out my dad several states away was having surgery and likely wouldn't make it. He'd even written out his will before the surgery. I was so afraid I wouldn't get to see him before he died and I was too broke to go see him. Someone I didn't even know gave me the money to go see him, but I could only afford one way. I went anyways and watched him die and I felt so helpless. I couldn't even afford to get home, and someone else I didn't even know bought me a plane ticket home. I feel lucky, in spite of all the pain I felt for years, to have met two people who gave so much to me just so I could say goodbye to my dad.

    LYRICS/LETRA
    Be still
    And go on to bed
    Nobody knows what lies ahead
    And life is short
    To say the least
    We're in the belly of the beast
    Be still
    Wild and young
    Long may your innocence reign
    Like shells on the shore
    And may your limits be unknown
    And may your efforts be your own
    If you ever feel you can't take it anymore
    Don't break character
    You've got a lot of heart
    Is this real or just a dream?
    Rise up like the sun
    Labor till the work is done
    Be still
    One day you'll leave
    Fearlessness on your sleeve
    When you've come back, tell me what did you see
    What did you see
    Was there something out there for me?
    Be still
    Close your eyes
    Soon enough you'll be on your own
    Steady and straight
    And if they drag you through the mud
    It doesn't change what's in your blood
    (Over chains)
    When they knock you down
    Don't break character
    You've got a lot of heart
    Is this real or just a dream?
    Be still
    Be still
    Be still
    Be still
    Over rock and chain
    Over sunset plain
    Over trap and snare
    When you're in too deep
    In your wildest dream
    In your made up scheme
    When they knock you down
    When they knock you down
    Don't break character
    You've got sooooo much heart
    Is this real or just a dream?
    Oh Rise up like the sun
    And labor till the work is done
    Rise up like the sun
    Labor till the work is
    Rise up like the sun
    And labor till the work is done

      DeNy SleeK Well, for starters, I absolutely love The Killers, every single one of 65 songs I have in my phone by them, it's just that I find that some of the Christmas songs they just released because, well, they had to?
      Every single one of their albums are gold though.

    this is a song I will dedicate to my daughters if they ever feel like they wanna live like I did. very fast trying to eat the world... I failed. and I lost to much opportunities... but I know life give you chances and I'm trying really hard... for them and for myself. I love so much this song. I love the killers. every song is like a piece of myself.

    I’ve chosen this song to dance with my son at my wedding. He’s already 15 years old! The lyrics are so fitting and one of my favorite songs by The Killers! Absolutely beautiful!!!

    Gone back to this song so many times over the years. Anytime I’m feeling really down. I listen to these lyrics and it’s makes the hardships I’ve endured a little lighter 😭

    When my daughter graduated high school, i had a cd of all the songs that we've enjoyed together over the years during the many concerts we've attended , and i included songs that contained messages i believe hold great words of wisdom.......
    THIS is one of those songs!!!

    This is about a apostle preaching the gospel. Labor until the work is done.

    I love the line that says: "May your innocence reign." I had a boyfriend who was a huge player ( yeah, I know.) Whenever things did not work out between us, he would boost his insecurities by fooling around with lots of girls and go out partying. Obviously this hurt me pretty bad. Meanwhile, I would be at home, studying. Listening to this song, knowing good and well what my gut was telling me he was doing. "May your innocence reign." "Don't break character." "Labor till the work is done." Needless to explain, this song has helped me put my jealousy behind me, and do my own thing
