This song, since the first time I heard it, has been like a prayer for my granddaughter who was in the grip of alcohol and drugs; and praise God she has now been sober for over 2 years and on her way back to herself… because a good man found her and got her out of that desperate situation.

[@mz5175]

They could honestly release an album of all these acoustic covers of their own songs and it would still be amazing. Love hearing different versions of songs like this

[@JOHNNYCRAIG]

MZ ..... who’s song is this?

[@b.snipes]

JOHNNYCRAIG new Killer’s song from their upcoming album!

[@katmajic8203]

I'd buy an accoutic album, I'd even go see an accoustic tour.

[@og87]

Get it into an IV and hook me up.

[@JosephHansenM]

@@katmajic8203 If you wanna try to hear some acoustic music, including covers of other bands' songs, Brandon Flowers has often added a couple songs on his solo tours. They are amazing. For instance, I was blown away when Brandon played this live on his Flamingo tour. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIDClK2ko9Voaac

[@calvindexter75]

That voice is a gift to humanity. What a masterpiece

[@chuckfriebe843]

You nailed it. It is, indeed, a masterpiece. Well said. It must be very satisfying to write something like this.

[@kellyrhoten4959]

This version is incredibly honest, raw, and unforgettable . Wow.

[@brunagomes4333]

I have depression. I have ups and downs. This song touches me deeply. Thanks. A strong hug from Brazil.

[@brunofm58]

I can totally feel this is about his wife fighting depression... thanks for the healing words, Brandon! Anyone going through depression, anxiety, any other disorder, we're gonna fight back!!!

[@emm8357]

I’m with you. Signed off since the start of March with depression and anxiety. It’s just awful. Waiting on MOSW being released this morning got me through my toughest days yet, which were late last week.

[@brandiwinblood593]

I love this. Depression, anxiety, bipolar here.

[@cherylspersontillman2351]

I relived my teenage years in this song....

[@mikeodil7721]

This is the superior version by far and there’s no doubt both Brandon & Ronnie were blown back by how good it turned out.

[@solomongray6352]

Wow, you can just feel his spirit and emotion in this song. He's not just singing, he's powering out an anthem. Written very quickly because he didn't need to plan it, think it, etc. It was there in his mind begging for release, and he nailed it, I only wish the terrible experiences in his wife's past that she still lives with every day had to happen for this song to get to us all.

[@solomongray6352]

Wow, 4 years ago I wrote this. Fast forward, my depression has gained on me, my energy doesn't hold up fighting it as it used to, I hope I can keep it away, but life is highs and lows, I have many high points right now but there is a big low that's rusting away my defenses.

[@alexismiller1]

Blowback is a masterpiece, like Be Still and Read My Mind. I'm so proud of your composition and performance, B & R. And Brandon, how you sing it: devastating; beautiful. You're better than all of them, out there. ☺️

[@mariechacon4484]

Awe :') yes he is..

He gets me every time.

Brandon’s pure voice singing and playing piano makes this song so special!!

[@anneheikkinen7019]

I mean: She knows where she comes from Doesn't need you dragging her all through it again How perfect is that? How can Brandon sum up so many peoples' whole lives in just a few lines? He is incredible. Thank you for the music. ❤️

I can see this song being performed acoustically like this in the middle of their set at their concerts, lights out and everybody in the crowd singing their hearts out.. The Killers are such a special band.. beautiful.

[@onemanarmyoma0155]

I hate it when the crowd starts singing. That's not what I have paid for. I came to hear Brandon's beautiful voice.

[@onemanarmyoma0155]

@@erarrr8626 No, not really. I saw something similar once at the tv, it was Lionel Richie performing in a footballstadium in The Netherlands. Lionel has a fantastic, warm voice. But not the 40000 motherfuckers that had to sing along with "Hello". Fuck that.

[@Patachou_]

Only heard it on the Swiss radio yesterday and I was like “that’s Brandon?!” Beautiful song, happy to have them back ❤️

Brandon flowers is a significantly better singer than I thought after seeing these 2020 live tracks. He’s also a really good looking dude both now and in the hot fuss days.

[@avery1830]

Another plus, they said due to so much downtime they’ve already started writing more songs for their next album.

[@Larki13]

Yeah I think Imploding the Mirage is going to have some of the best music of their entire career.

[@alexandragrace8164]

So beautiful... I'm learning this on piano. It's so nice to sing and play. The Killers continue to be the best band ever.

[@theresazubia]

[@victnat8231]

Goosebumps... as usual with The Killers music

[@YanelArez]

I LOVED the "full version" of Blowback but coming back to this it's equally good in a different way. I wish this acoustic version could have been included on a deluxe version of the album, but if they ever make a Sawdust 2 I hope this makes it on there like Sams Town acoustic did. I was so excited while waiting for Wonderful Wonderful, since that was the first album they released after I became a fan. It was a magical experience and I'm glad I got to feel that excitement for a new album again! Their music really is something else.

[@jacoblyman9441]

Yeah an acoustic album or a B-sides album with some covers would be great (like Tom Petty's the Waiting or Elton John's Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters which The Killers have covered). Not to mention neither the 2019 or 2020 versions of Land of the Free have managed to find a home on an album yet. Since they are already back in studio recording the next album, I would bet they have a lot of material on the cutting room floor that somehow didn't manage to make it into Imploding the Mirage or Album #7... so the opportunity certainly is there.

[@YanelArez]

@@jacoblyman9441 yesss the waiting!!!!

[@annamolina3940]

Can't wait to hear the album version but I seriously doubt it'll top this. Pure magic.

[@lyanakerefova]

The only band nowadays which will be in word music history forever together with Queen and Beatles.

[@onemanarmyoma0155]

I agree with you regarding Queen. The Beatles, however, we could have done without. They are responsible for some of the most lame popsongs ever recorded. The Killers on the other hand is indeed the most gifted band of our era. Snowpatrol is for me the number two.

[@Amy-hy6zn]

@@onemanarmyoma0155 what are you on about? the beatles are literally the most influential band in history. without them, so many bands (the killers, oasis, green day etc) would never have even been thought of. the beatles were the reason that i got into music and found all of these other amazing bands, and i’m sure they’ve done that for so many others around the world.

[@russellescritt]

Love this version. Great song. He reminds me of Louden Wainwright in this song with the way he sings.

[@chuckfriebe843]

Ya know, I have a handful of singers and songwriters that I gravitate toward. Brandon is one of them. I always imagine that he sees someone that crosses his path that he writes a song like this about. He may not even know the person, but he sees them and he creates a story around them, a sort of “backstory” if you will. It’s touching and heavy. It paints a picture of a life that some of us may never know or even quite understand. It reaches into a place that is deep within most of us that we never even knew existed. It’s such a beautiful thing.

[@brunofiorucci3739]

They played it in Brazil and I was there ❤

[@didiacosta8948]

The acoustic version should have been worthy and added on the album! This is beautiful.
