[@TheOtherBoobJustDropped]

So glad I watched this, it was adorable!

[@maia4554]

UGH Brandon IS SO CUTE I love ittttttt

[@leishayoung4124]

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!!!

[@amandaharris726]

I get drunk on jealousy. Another blank check.

[@darranmartin7489]

Reminds me of a young Elvis. Humble, shy, talented, self depreciating and proud of his faith.

[@annalisavajda252]

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.

[@ReadingswithDebbie]

He is beyond perfect.

[@Corsairforu]

Many comments on his nervousness, thankfully he never seems to suffer from stage fright. Thank you for posting this.

[@librariegrrl]

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

[@amandaharris726]

I have type o+ blood.

[@Mskimberley81]

I want to say something eloquent and what not I just adore his way of expressing himself. in love !

[@luvsmercury]

Thank you for posting... I LOVE him!

[@kellymcphaul2793]

I think he’s just a pretty solid quiet dude. He’s always very chill and articulate.

[@alexkunce2002]

This sincerely makes me feel so much better about my social skills. I love it. Thank you Brandon.

[@johnharvey4448]

jovyTV Were you telling God that ?

[@quickwood1965]

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!)!'

[@steevenhyde3505]

He is so adorable.

[@suek9456]

This man......is perfection.

[@aneilp7631]

Two minutes in and I'm doubled over laughing. He's a great musician and character.

[@NewHopeAudio]

stoked for the new album. and i love knopfler so that'll rule. but POOR CYNTHIA!

[@alexandragrace8164]

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.

[@Brandonhatesmayo]

Thank you for this,

[@mercurial5810]

He blows my mind

[@hb4072]

What an extraordinary person. I always imagined he would be extroverted and egocentric- how wrong I was! A humble, quiet man of faith! Amazing

[@vampshadz1807]

it was lowkey cute when he got shy tbh

[@ShannonF27]

VERY excited to hear Knopfler on there!

[@johnconstantinemarinakiski8128]

ShannonF27 - You can hear some Knopfer/Bowie sounds on 'The Man'

[@onegirlrev]

He's a hundred times more comfortable being interviewed by fans than by journalists. Such a thoughtful guy.

[@bayillest]

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.

[@joha1992]

Literally 😩😂❤️ Perfect hands!

Natalie Di Forever a victim ❤️🙏🏼

[@NDMeow93]

Yes! 🙏

[@reins6895]

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🌻

[@starlinreese9206]

It's a spiritual lyric, and what it means to him may not mean the same thing to you, or me, or ....

[@abigaelrubion3014]

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..☺☺☺☺

[@amandaash476]

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.

[@gokulegendarysupersaiyan547]

Comming out of my cage and I'm doing just fine

[@luckycanucky9023]

Lmao at the end when Brandon reads "you're new album" and has to stop and compose himself

[@caullinderoid]

I didn't notice, in which part is that?

[@peggysusana1979]

I wish I could have asked him why they never play DESPERATE. It is a wonderful song.

[@fenwickandthefutures]

Seriously same here!

[@MoahGentle]

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 doesn't have an accent

[@kguerr197]

He's from Las Vegas. That's where he got his "accent".

[@mikeodil7721]

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.

[@gordonwhite6228]

when are you coming to Australia??? and how soon

[@GrowingPothos]

14:23 well theo, he talks like a gentleman now

[@augustamerica3168]

I feel bad for the girl who asked the question about Read My Mind

[@crisrio1607]

that was mean

[@Ronnie-ku8bk]

What does that lyric mean lol

[@amandaharris726]

The effect of gamma rays on man in the moon marigolds.

[@allyoucaneat1234]

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.
