The Killers - A Dustland Fairytale (live on Letterman) HD + Lyrics

[@Gleekg]

This is one of their greatest performances live. The song was the perfect choice and they did it great. I got chills and tears at the end.

[@PleiadianResurgence]

me too

[@FootballFanFlyingSaucer]

lol i see this on every video of them

[@trple2]

This is the greatest live performance of all time. I cry everytime.

[@elipegui123]

The strength in his voice and heart. How does he manage to sing this song live knowing what it is about.

[@tomt6142]

This is one of those songs where the live version absolutely blows away the studio verson

[@danielmoran2677]

so much more emotion in an incredibly emotional song

[@Mechanicalheartbeat]

Im 59 and should be reliving the sixties, but The Killers are something else, what a class act. Brandon Flowers is a real showman....Hey Thanks.

[@Danilariooo]

I can't imagine the emotion Brandon Flowers goes through when singing this song, and how he remembers everything about his mom each time :(

[@LennonsCafe]

In 100 years time, the World will be still be watching this performance.

[@pompyromage]

It brings tears to my eyes seeing and hearing the passion in his voice during the last chorus, He's singing about his mother.

[@ccbc23]

quite possibly the killers best live performance.. just absolutely perfect.

[@lucashenriquegarcia]

This is what a band with a feeling means.

[@ilovethekillers37]

Every time I watch this video, it makes me cry. The Killers get so much emotion and passion into their songs, I'm sure they're one of the most underrated bands of the decade.

[@brianwatson5789]

The strings and tympani add such richness and depth

[@Jwkartz2]

This song has actually created an atmosphere of no flaming I've looked through like 10 pages of comments and have seen no arguments. That's incredible.

[@JohnZackarias]

I'm not a fan of The Killers. But this song is so good I'd pay for an entire concert just to hear it. It's...Magnificent, epic, marvellous in every possible way.

[@spike6975]

Who's still listening in 2020!! I play this song on repeat, my favorite song from them..❤️💔💔💔😭😔👸🏰

[@trple2]

it's the greatest live performance i've seen

[@leeedwards9068]

2023…still incredible. Check out Beastie Boys ‘sabotage’ from letterman, as well…both songs are so perfectly raw, but SO well performed.

[@Silliestlittleguy_]

One of the best performances….♥️ love, love this song.

[@PleiadianResurgence]

every single time the strings swell to those high notes I get chill bumps and the hair on the back of my neck stands up, when the song ends I am almost in tears. Every. Single. Time. I don't even care for many of The Killers songs (Human is my fave) but this one is just off the charts.

[@anthologyofinterest1334]

get in line pal

[@trple2]

same...it's the strangest thing. so beautiful.

[@TheBlutelfenfee]

You know it's real music when it makes you cry. *cries in corner*

[@juana6029]

Brandon almost cried in the end I feel him just hearing this song makes me wanna idk it's just an awesome feeling

[@CosmicHarmony58]

This song is about his mother. Whom has passed away. I'd totally understand why'd he get so emotional.

[@jiasheng]

one of the only songs to bring me to tears. God bless Brandon and his family 😢

[@saulofernandesi2625]

Just great, I can't stop listen to this live performance.

[@pissedoffdude1]

Man, this song is SO much better live. Props to the killers for their awesome music

[@NickMac91]

I gotta say the killers are probably the best live band I've heard besides some of the classics. Such a great song you can Really tell Brandon puts his soul into this one since its for his mother.

[@TheFourthdime]

That is one epic of a performance. Wow!, the emotions from Brandon really encapsulates the song.

[@gtaatmiami]

been watching this video every now and then for the past 2 years and it still give me goosebumps. incredible performance

[@bbqthis]

RIP JEAN FLOWERS Aug. 9, 1945 - Feb. 11, 2010 "Now Cinderella don't you go to sleep..."

[@susandan110]

This is an amazing performance...the live orchestra in the back ground...so much energy involved...they should have released this with the live orchestra!!

[@killercrew4151]

WOW! They are the BEST!!! Long live The Killers!!!

[@ileanamguzmannegron6437]

Picture it: Nov 28, 2023, sitting in the grocery store’s parking lot watching this with massive tears in your eyes. It’s me. What a performance. Gets me every time.

[@Aniela87]

Great musical arrangement! I love it how the harp starts first, then the strings, a break and then guitars with the drums until at the end only one guitar. Beautifull! Great song.

[@FutileGrief]

THAT'S WHAT I CALL GREAT MUSIC!!! *caps off* This performance blew me away!!! Absolutely fantastic!! So good to know that incredible bands like this still appear on the popular media, because frankly, everything else there kind of sucks. this performance was filled with passion. They aren't just amazing musicians. They blend together like few can, and Brandon's voice is absolutely fantastic. wow.

[@LokiTheAnsuz]

I don't really cry, but the strangest thing happened to me while listening to this performance: my eyes were so full of water that streams of liquid salt came out of my eye sockets and I had to blink to avoid being blinded by them. It was very weird...

[@trple2]

it happens to me every time.

[@sameerpatel105]

in the cadence of a young mans eyes, i couldn't dream so high. such underrated lyrics....

[@brendaacham2707]

amazing live performance. Most under rated AMERICAN band. They are awesome.

[@RachelRocker4Ever]

I wasn't too into this song until I saw this performance. Now it's one of my favorites. They were amazing and with the orchestra in the back it made it perfect.

[@radhika5802]

No one does it better than you Brandon, live long and die hard

[@swarleystinson]

thank god for youtube so that three years later i can still watch this whenever i want

[@marcinek]

Best Letterman peformance for me.

[@marsday321]

This is my favorite version of this song. So much more passionate than the studio version! Brandon looks like he's about to take flight by the end.

[@oregonduck95]

best live band ive ever heard

[@marialuvsya]

He sings so amazingly live. And the song is so beautiful. Love it!

[@orion848]

best killers performance ever

[@JohnZackarias]

I'd say it's a modern day masterpiece. To me it is, anyway. It sends chills down my spine every time I listen to it.

[@trple2]

every time

[@whalecanes]

1 word.....UNFUCKINGCREDIBLE...

[@Jasper9220]

ONe o d most passionate performances ive ever seen!

[@liztainer]

Flower's voice gives me goosebumps, I'm in love.

[@bradleyhamilton3447]

This is the best thing I've seen from the killers. I keep coming back to it every year or so.

[@gtaatmiami]

i get the biggest goosbumps throughout all of the 5 minutes of this song....The Killers are amazing and this HD quality is amazing! :D

[@jules8557]

OMG what a stunning performance! Never seen this before with a live orchestra. My heart was bursting! 🔥

[@louluvsl33ds]

He sings this song with such passion ! :')

[@la922467]

breath taking performance

[@VerdeletVIII]

Unbelievable performance.

[@gusvortech]

I was at their concert in Miami last night. They simply rocked, they have really good sound performing live. They played hits and couple off tracks. Go see them its worth the money, or have friends that work for a newspaper and get extremely lucky to get tix practically free.

[@kiekie147]

One of the most beautiful songs ever and amazing Live!!!!

[@YaoiSutori]

WHAT A GREAT PERFORMANCE! WOW!

[@misssamueljones]

Literally tear up EVERY time I hear this song. But this performance was stellar. I love all of them, but this one was kickin'! Love to the boys!

[@bandgeek81188]

at 3:46 you can see that the woman on the left playing violin has a big smile on her face. hell, If I had the opportunity to play this AMAZING song in that orchestra with the AMAZING Killers, I'd have a huge smile too. :)

[@fyeflourite]

Woow I love this song!!! The performance with the orchesta is amazing!! The killers is the best band on this planet!!! I loooooove it!!!

[@Nintendocollector9]

[@moltendarthvader]

That was one of the best live performances of all time.

[@00Jazzzzzzzzzzz00]

[@rasdasm]

Woohha Brandon, what a nice hairstyle! but above all... WHAT A PERFORMANCE !!!

[@RW7530]

What great performance

[@friedaism]

Simply increeeeeeeeeedible. Words just aren't enough. I've been watching this a minimum of once a day since i first came across it. is it just me or is Brandon crying at the very end?

[@nammm3]

It would've been amazing if the Beatles did this with their later albums, having an orchestra to perform with them. Amazing performance by THEEEE Killers! ^_^

[@TapouT1419]

this really was one of the best performances ive ever seen

[@iforgothowtotype]

All of their albums are amazing.

[@shalisss]

[@duortsasasauhsoj]

The only video on KZbin that even comes close to this one is their performance of when you were young at T in the park

[@Saverosso]

Brandon.... perfect voice!!

[@LydiaMakesMovies]

LOVE the violins! So epic!

[@sjvr13]

This album was so good, "dust land fairy tale, and goodnight travel well"

[@nammm3]

super awesome!!! i would've never thought there'd be so many people helping out w/ this song:-D

[@Cocolatine1111]

This song is magic I say...pure magic

[@misshardrock1]

So so beautiful, I have tears in my eyes, great performance and a lot of energy, well done "guys", great voice, I just love it!!!

[@TopDog69]

Looking back at that first comment, I'm not too sure why I swore and came across as aggressive. Incidentally, on what I said earlier, I will say that this song is one of theirs I think I enjoy most, for the emotion in it and the thought behind it - the emotion and passion particularly in this performance.

[@lucianeo]

I love this music! "but we persevere God gives us hope But we still fear what we don't know" S2

[@melindaspencer1546]

Amazing performance of such a beautiful song.

I saw this on TV! It blew my mind! Thanks for posting, now I can watch again whenever I please :) My mum was watching it with me and saw Brandon's geeky little dances, she was like "he really can't dance." But I think it's adoreable.

[@huynhxuankinhome]

That was rly passionate
