The Killers - All These Things That I've Done (Official Music Video)

[@valtiel6913]

"I've got soul but I'm not a soldier" makes me think of a man who wants try his best, even though he's lost in a world that demands routine and he simply can't conform

[@dars5229]

I took it as meaning someone sensitive who has to deal with a lot of rough shit but hasn't been trained to face it head on like soldiers, cops, doctors, nurses, therapists, that sort of thing. I'm not disagreeing. Art is people seeing the same thing differently. Life is communicating that.

[@summoner1451]

@@dars5229 Brandon said it's about his mormon faith "I've got soul" meaning, he still believes a bit in it. "I'm not a soldier" meaning he's not going to force his beliefs onto anyone though for them. He's not going to be a solider for his religion and go out and recruit for them etc. The song is about how he's decided to be just be himself and make his own way in life. He still has faith, but isn't devout anymore.

[@ronmiller6270]

It’s about Matt Pinfield who was helping soldiers with PTSD

[@AndresON777]

I just turned 42 and the line "I'm so much older then I can take" really speaks to me. I was in my early 20s when this song came out. I just graduated college and was living a care free life. Now I have three kids, two are teenagers. I have no idea how I got here so fast.

This song has helped me come back from the brink a few times. I’ve been at the end of my rope several times, suicide hotline, doctors, medication. But in the end I kept holding on, kept fighting. Like “I’ve got soul, but I’m not a soldier” I’ve got the will to fight, but I’m not a fighter. If anyone finds this comment, just remember you can always keep moving, hold your head high and hold on. Edit: Still here! I'd forgotten about this comment! haha. Life is still tough, but now I'm sober. 2020 was a hell of a ride for me, as I'm sure it was for a great many people. But I'd like to thank you all for such a wonderful outcry of support and kindness. Sometimes I've forgotten that we're all in this life together. Be kind everyone, and hold on! Update Edit! 12/16/22: You all have been so wonderfully supportive. You've all kept me going to be honest. I kept going, I lived with my sister for 3 years and I saved every penny I could and bought my own home! Sure it's a used manufactured home, but it's mine. However, I paid cash so i didn't need a mortgage. Now I'm helping out a friend at the end of their rope, and giving them a place to stay so they aren't homeless. There's no secret sauce to my situation, I was very lucky. I was frugal and things just happen to work out. But hold on, don't give up. Life can have some twists and turns you never saw coming. Update Update! 2/27/23 Still getting a lot of positive comments, more than I'd ever thought my little comment would ever get, more than I thought it deserved. You all still continue to be the most wonderful, inspiring, and supportive people. You've all exemplified the very best we can be when we find those in the lowest of times. Life of course still throws it's curve balls, and they do hit hard. But now I'm no longer alone with my problems, and I know I'm lucky for that privilege. Stay strong, keep moving, and hold on to the ones you love, because those moments are fleeting... 3/3/23 Wow life does like a curve ball. I'm in the metro Detroit area. In the past 5 days I've gone from no power for 3 days to a furnace failure that lead to the discovery that my furnace is putting out toxic levels of carbon monoxide. The new furnace will set me back at the very least 3200. Coupled with rampant low staffing at my current job leading my emotional state being at an all time low. I feel like this song resonates more than ever, and how much positivity I've received here. I'm of course applying to other jobs. But i just once again wish to say thank you. It doesn't matter how small you think your comment may be, or think it means nothing. But it does. One comment may make a difference. I have felt alone for so long, I didn't know what healthy support looked like. Find that one shred of something that keeps you moving and hold on tight to it, It just may save your life Edit 6/23/24. I wish I had better news, but I don't. Costs have gotten insane for the house, even with a roommate and supplemental income im desperately sinking. All my savings are gone and I've got far too much credit card debt now. I've made the decision to sell it and move back in with my sister. I have been sober from alcohol for 1 year and 3 months. A combination of weed and the help of a friend I was able to get off and stay off it. I am still single. Been on a date or two last year but the stigma of living in a manufactured home in a trailer park did me no favors either. I've fallen into a deep and dark depression. I quit my job because I couldn't bring myself to go (a retail blue box furniture store) and then the shame of not being able to work for being a pathetic loser and letting depression get to me. I'm at a loss. I thought I did all the right things. But nobody seems to want me. I've never had a relationship last more than 2 months and I'm just constantly ghosted on dating apps. I know it's partially me, I am a lot and I know it. But I am so touch and affection starved it is eating away at me. I literally don't know what it even feels like to hold the hand of someone I care about, nor have I ever woke up other than alone. I can no longer watch shows or stuff with romance in it because it makes me feel so bitter, the feeling of it being dangled in front of me as a reminder of (this is what you will never have). It's to the point I no longer feel like a salvageable human anymore. I won't give my whole life story but you can put the pieces together from my lengthy diatribes lol. Thank you all again for your kind words. I come back here once and awhile, but i was too ashamed to update with bad news. Don't worry, this isn't the end. I won't do anything dumb but I'm just so tired. Tell someone you like having them around. You have no idea what it can mean to someone. This will be my final update.

I always turned my late little brother onto to music. He was 8 years younger and was always a few years behind me on good music. I saw the Dead in 96 and then Allman brothers then WSP. He wasnt into my jam bands. What we did have in common was 2 full blown junkies. I never offered him anything but I always had a stash of something. Cleaning Dr. offices at night provided free narcotics. Anyways so when this came out he called me out his truck and Iwas very reluctsnt and knew I wouldnt care for se band named The Killers. I thought they were heavy metal judt bu thr name. We sat in his truck for at least an hour listening. I was hooked on The Killers afyer that afternoon. My nickname has been Sam Barfield since I was born so that drew me in too. When I really like a band I study thier catalog of music inside and out and they certainly delivered. On Nov. 20th 2015 he passed away from complications from the life we were living. I can't find it to type out the words of what happened that day. It has been a while since I listened to these guys because I couldn't bear being reminded of my little brother. I think I must have cried a river this morning just remembering times we spent together listening to The killers. I hope I get to see you guys at a venue soon.

I read this as the lyric hit…..in 1963

[@needhamcomics6370]

The song is about television host Matt Pinfield. Before The Killers were famous, Pinfield, who was a vice president of A&R at Columbia Records at the time, tried to sign the band. He was also working with the U.S. Army as part of a program that mentored wounded and/or PTSD-stricken musician soldiers returning from Iraq. After visiting veteran soldiers in Colorado City, he went to Las Vegas, where he quickly bonded with The Killers. Pinfield watched the band rehearse at drummer Ronnie Vannucci's garage and took them out to dinner. He asked if anybody wanted to give him a ride back to his hotel and Brandon Flowers offered to drive Pinfield. They wound up hitting the bar at the Gold Coast Hotel on a Tuesday night, just "talking about life", Pinfield said: I started to tell him the story about mentoring soldiers, and I was getting ready to go through a divorce. I was going through a bit of a rough time. So, he went home that night, and their old manager, Braden Merrick, calls me on the phone, and goes, 'Hey Matt, Brandon wrote a song about you. He went home last night and wrote this song.' It was 'All These Things That I've Done,' and the line 'I've got soul, but I'm not a soldier' is about the mentoring thing. In 2016, Pinfield titled his memoir "All These Things That I've Done: My Insane, Improbable Rock Life". On January 19, 2019, the band gave Pinfield a shoutout while introducing the song at the iHeartRadio ALTer Ego 2019 festival at The Forum in Inglewood, California, where Pinfield was in attendance in a wheelchair still recovering from being hit by a car a month before.

Thank you!

“If you can hold on, hold on” This song is dedicated to my grandparents who both died in the same month. It was the most painful experience I have endured. I wanted to give up multiple times.

I remember back in 2009 The Killers came to South Africa. Mr Brightside was my favourite song but I can still remember everyone singing "I got soul but I'm not a solider". It was at that moment this became my favourite song. What an incredible night in Johannesburg

[@lindsayb1329]

"I've got soul but I'm not a soldier." My husband always tells me how strong he thinks I am, but I have a hard time seeing it myself. I'm so young but have been through so much and am tired. I love this song because it is so comforting. It's my favorite Killers song.

I remember the "it gets better" adverts. But for a kid who is being abused, it doesnt just magically get better. When you're abused to the point of disability, you're especially trapped. I couldnt imagine it getting better. I wad the first part of this song minus the happy memories. Its amazing how living on my own, far away from my abusive family, even with my disability making it difficult to support myself, I can relate to the second part of the song and the optonism

Driving around high as fuck with a buddy back in 2005, and “I got soul, but I’m not a soldier” hook comes on and we’re both screaming our lungs out to it, and then I break down and start crying.

[@andyodels]

Some simple harmonies are so damned good at driving the point home. The pleading of "you gotta help me out! Yeah, dont you put me on the backburner!" aims for the gut and heart simultaneously, and I'm suckerpunched thinking about all the vets I met in my grad work and beyond. We've abandoned twenty years of volunteers as a standard practice and left them to face TBIs and PTSD with only broken promises. I'm still in touch with a handful. This song recalls these men in my memories. Those whose lives died at the age of 19, yet they were pinned with purple hearts and had to figure how to carry on in their short-circuited bodies for the next 50 years. Refining the seizure meds was my job and it might have helped them, but being present and accounted for when a vet suddenly forgot who I am, where he was, and what he was doing was the best I had to offer. And likely still is.
