I love when anyone covers The Killers. Especially The Killers.

[@sblinder1978]

The Killers should do a cover album of Killers' songs.

[@lxdead5585]

@@sblinder1978 Brandon IS NOT The Killers, it's his during his solo album times, he covered, or actually made acoustic version of few The Killers and his solo career tracks.

Yes

[@lxdead5585]

@@giniprd724 Wrong, The Killers is band, not single member.

[@SirSamTheThird]

Wow, this arrangement actually suits the style of the song so well. Almost pushes it into murder ballad territory.

[@snazzydrew]

wasn't it always though. haha.

[@1ZosoLZ]

SirSamTheThird what’s murder ballad?

[@Floodric1991]

A song about murder. This song and two others are about a girl, Jenny getting murdered. In this the singer is being interrogated for the crime

[@raldenvcs]

The Murder trilogy. Leave the Bourbon on the shelf, Midnight Show, Jenny was a Friend of Mine.

[@medicmandan]

totally agree! murder was the vibe i got from this is a dark twist of love

[@VanessaRuinzi]

I love his screaming "she said she loved me" and "i just can't take this" in the original, its one of the things that make it a favorite- its so raw and desperate sounding, but now i love how he made these lines the softer parts in this version yet sounds even more guilty! Such a great song. I love his lyrics and his voice, a truly gifted man right here.

[@clairehann2681]

Truly beautiful I must admit

[@hatred9427]

The original sounds like a few days after the fact, filled with anguished despair and fear of being caught. This acoustic version sounds like years later, when he's old, still guilty, unable to feel normal again.

[@sobster123]

I know his screams the best. When I do it it's bad lol 😂

[@13dirty666]

I don't think I've ever heard a vocalist who's vocals have just progressed so brilliantly. His voice is immensely better since Hot Fuss (even though his vocals on that album are good and suit the rawer, younger edge) but listening to Flamingo, Battle Born and Desired Effect his voice is just incredible.

[@toolongdontlisten]

13dirty666 his solo stuff is criminally underrated. Flamingo was pretty good, but The Desired Effect is an absolute belter of a record.

[@natashagilbert3]

you can say that again.

[@Larki13]

His voice really is magnificent live now

[@samp7552]

Mike patton But I understand what you mean...

[@sonyabunkum6212]

So very true. Its like he went and got singing lessons. Plus the type of songs are different now

[@RastkoRuzic]

This is a great "reworking" of a classic Killers song. It almost sounds like The Cure.

[@digitaloctavelol3700]

+Rastko Ruzic More of like a smiths sound imo, especially with the almost identical bass to "Barbarism begins at home"

[@BroHomeless]

Its totally Smiths. Inspired by Girlfriend in a Coma, and pulling fancy sounding phrases like "On the promenade" like in Everyday is Like Sunday.

[@pepuszkiewicz]

Rastko Ruzic yeah he sounds like Robert Smith!

[@drlonewolf91]

this is nowhere as great as The Cure by Lady Gaga, don't disrespect

[@leanmeangreenbeanmachine3347]

Jenny: *breaks up with him* Brandon: I’m gonna do what’s called a pro-gamer move

[@jana000005]

OMG psychopath

[@RechargingBatteries]

Except the song clearly shows Jenny is another woman, that Brandon is accused of seeing on the side

[@buttonscasper]

RechargingBatteries Nope listen to Bourbon on the shelf, midnight show and then this again. Then you’ll realise what it’s about.

[@nigelcharlson2992]

jana000005 The song is actually about a guy who gets wasted and murders his girlfriend. Look up The Killers murder trilogy if you wanna check it out. It's a story that takes place over three songs.

[@MrJD240sx]

You people are dumb lol. This song is about a killer that strangled a girl in a park and left her body in the Central Park back in the 80”s

[@CP-bw6ry]

The number of times I've listened to this in the last 24 hours is absolutely ridiculous

[@hotpotato9288]

I don't blame you. I'm just getting started and I don't think I'll ever get tired of playing it

[@cryptodeity]

It’s contagious

[@condurachesorin]

It surely isn't greater than 360 times.

[@carlosvaz.studio]

The way the tone slightly changes on “she couldn’t scram while I held her close” just cemented the murder mood for me. Brilliant just brilliant use of vocals

[@marinoalcorta242]

The 17 people who don't like this never had Jenny as a friend.

[@alexanderjoseurribarriconc4878]

You're clear my friend jaja

[@tshapedl]

Who'd want a suicidal friend though

[@macallett]

The song is literally about killing a woman. What the fuck have you done Marino?

[@Quicksilver_Cookie]

Some people just never bother to try to understand what the song is about :)

[@Hadkek]

That cheating bitch

[@dejorgensen10]

It's such a good song, yet haunting. I just realized a few things from the lyrics. He's being interview by police and is upset. But the first verse says it all. They were walking, I think she broke up with him. They fought per the lyrics. Then he held her so tight "she couldn't scream". Meaning he suffocated her. He loved her, yet is pondering how he did what he did and is asking what he can do or say to make it right. It's a very conflicting and emotional song. Great story telling.

[@James-kc6cq]

The story it’s based off of is The Preppy Murder which is an actual murder where this guy Robert something left with his friend Jenny after his ex told him to basically screw someone else and in his trial he gave many excuses but in the end he basically just said “Why would I kill her? She was a friend of mine” It’s really interesting you should check it out.

[@rossfregia6922]

Didn't want to like this version without the original Killers members...but damn it!

[@roflpenguin2411]

Ross Fregia swathe last night, new guitarists are sweet

[@ivanovosixx]

True... what's happened with the others?

[@kcjade5221]

ivan torres I think this was when Brandon was doing solo stuff. The guys have been touring for their new album since last year

[@autumnnoels]

I’m wearing this out and I don’t care. He should do the entire Hot Fuss album just like this.

[@carlossierra2812]

for sure i remember it... fk dull job but i had hot fuss on my mp3! so was ok

[@jasonlieberman4606]

I used to put on a albums and just skip to the singles, until one day after skipping the same opening track dozens of times over, I thought "isn't it kinda lame that I bought a CD with over 10 tracks and I only listen to like 4 of them? Besides these songs I've been skipping sound pretty good... Maybe I should start listening to the album front to back... " So I let that opening track play, and the whole album, and ever since that's how I listen to any good album. All the way through 🙂 The year was 2004. The album was Hot Fuss. The opening track was Jenny Was a Friend of Mine. 😎

[@JayD06]

Sir, my brother and I are the same way. He says I'm the only other person he knows that listens to albums front to back.

[@formerlybernard6460]

Let me add that I have over 7000 albums and I only ever listen front to back. In order. No skipping.

[@jgasparin3]

The follow up album "Sam's Town" was the first album I ever listened through from beginning to end and thought myself what an amazingly well arranged album. I still believe it is one of the most underrated albums of the 2000s

Well, I like this version better than original. Always perceived this song in the metaphorical way, like it's not about actual murdering, for me it's about guy who ended up with his relationships and now it feels like a great sorrow for him. Thus, the lyrics of the song look like a conversation with his own subconscious
