About The Killers:
The Killers are a Las Vegas-based four-piece who formed in 2003, featuring the talents of singer/keyboardist Brandon Flowers, drummer Ronnie Vanucci, guitarist Dave Keuning and bassist Mark Stoermer. The band has received countless accolades for their artistic achievement, including multiple Grammy nominations, American Music Award nominations, MTV Video Music Awards, NME Awards and more.Their first album, Hot Fuss, was released in 2004 to worldwide acclaim.The album contained the singles “Mr. Brightside” and “Somebody Told Me,” in addition to the anthemic song “All These Things That I’ve Done,” which has since been referenced by the likes of U2 and Coldplay.The band toured for two years straight behind Hot Fuss, playing more than four-hundred shows, and eventually returned to Vegas to begin to work on the follow-up album with legendary producers Alan Moulder and Flood.The result, a love letter of sorts to their hometown entitled Sam’s Town, was released in 2006 and spent forty-two weeks on the Billboard Top 200.A b-sides collection entitled Sawdust was released in 2007, followed by their third studio album, Day & Age, which was released to widespread critical praise in 2008, anchored by massive single “Human.”The Killers released Battle Bornin September 2012, which saw them expanding their world tour into countries they’ve never visited before, and finally were honored to perform at the world-renowned Wembley Arena, one of the most monumental and significant shows of their career.After a decade of making music, in November 2013, The Killers released a “Best Of” collection, Direct Hits, which featured two incredible new songs alongside classics from the band’s revered catalogue.The band, who have sold over twenty-five million albums worldwide, and headlined all of the world’s top festivals (Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury), released their newest studio album, Wonderful Wonderful, in September 2017, where it landed at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart the week of its release, as well a stopping the charts in the U.K. and Australia. The album is the band’s fifth consecutive number one in the U.K., and Brandon Flowers’ seventh U.K. number one overall.

I pack my case, I check my face I look a little bit older I look a little bit colder With one deep breath, and one big step I move a little bit closer, I move a little bit closer For reasons unknown.. I caught my stride, I flew and flied I know if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind Well my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to And my eyes, they don't see you no more And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to And my eyes don't recognize you no more For reasons unknown For reasons unknown It was an open chair We sat down in, the open chair I said if destiny's kind, I've got the rest on my mind But my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to And my eyes, they don't see you no more And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to And my eyes don't recognize you at all For reasons unknown For reasons unknown I said my heart, it don't beat, it don't beat the way it used to And my eyes, don't recognize you no more And my lips, they don't kiss, they don't kiss the way they used to And my eyes don't recognize you no more For reasons unknown For reasons unknown For reasons unknown For reasons unknown

Mark's voice

[@sgrabenstetter]

My favorite song off of Sam’s Town!

[@reycretino]

The best version. Far.

[@SaGBorLol]

wow that backing vocal at the beginning, still it sounds great :p

[@evakeszthelyi5503]

Published on my Birthday. Thanks!

[@guyhenry8680]

I thought so because in the studio version of the song I could hear Brandon singing and the backing vocal sounded quite deep and the member of the Killers with a really deep voice is Mark, therefore I thought it was him.

[@loiisa4h]

just the voice OMG

[@Its-kensi15_HERE]

This is so great😇Ya all did such a flawless job live- you'd have no idea that you were actually scared shizless the whole time?!??😂Ha JK! So I heard this song yesterday during my workout and the beat and melody are energetic but listening to it and "delving in" the words tell quite a different story.. "I check my face in the mirror - I look a little bit colder ." I know that feeling , seeing a shell of a person where the former self used to be.."well my heart.. it don't beat like it used to .. my eyes don't see you no more" It's like looking through life desensitized with "hollow eyes" and "my lips they don't kiss like they used to" There's something very Empathic to those words.. Honestly it reminds me of a perfect illustration of "dissociation " or being in a toxic environment , or toxic family or toxic relationship for so long that a person loses the whole "sense of self " and becoming numb to every feeling whether good or bad. That was me for years in my first marriage .. I'd been so broken and shocked by the betrayals and violence and ups and downs of the roller coaster of erratic behavior after the first year.. I totally " checked out" on feeling anything or being connected to my body or my true self at all. Just Pure survival mode .Even though it appeared my career my "outer world "was "successful and shiny and pretty" my inner world and home life was a train wreck . So how did I get out? How did I finally gain courage and recognition to leave him?? We sold our shares of the medi spa(Allure) quick and WAY too cheap to the former business partner (Since he was a Dr.) moved back to Utah hoping a change of place would help .. it didn't. I then accepted a job as a pharmaceutical sales rep on contract since my ex wasn't functional enough to support a family. The job consisted of a 6 week of training in Florida. It was the first time in my life I didn't have to downplay my looks or my intellect for a job in fact it was the only time I could showcase all of my academic awards and accolades from college.. In other words I was "forced" in a way to show myself and my capabilities. During that time I basically went "no contact" with the ex, though I missed my daughter dearly, she was only 3 at the time. So I was suddenly surrounded by 500 very smart people who were expected to be good looking, well dressed with dynamic personalities-that's just how Pharma sales is. It was intense learning and testing the whole time and I was expected to eat and study and be social with these people 24/7 -and I had a very intellectual, funny and kind female roommate from New England too. Since I'm a total book nerd and love school and learning, the intensive training and testing were a nice" break" for my mind and the people were very positive and many have the most amazing magnetic personalities.. As I eased my way in the environment after a couple days I found myself with my roommate (who is still a dear friend to this day) gravitating toward our big group of dinner people. We were all staying at the Ritz Carlton and were all dressed up for dinner at a 5 star restaurant as usual & it was me, the roommate , a girls from Louisiana and bunch of guys.. The most diverse group ever!! One older Jewish man from NYC, a couple guys from jersey, a black guy from Brooklyn , a couple guys from the South, and Virginia , Florida , New England..All of us different ages, ethnicities and religions .Everyone was laughing so I finally decided it was"safe" to be myself & share a story from earlier that day.. "Hey guys, I thought this place was nice and I went in the bathroom last night and saw that someone took a big ol Dump in the sink!!" Yea I let my normal 10 year old boy bathroom sense of humor come out and they actually thought I was funny and laughed! They could not believe it! It took me back to my high school and college years when I usually just "hung out" with a group of guys cause I could be myself (once they know you don't "put out " they are usually super cool to just chill with) I hadn't laughed like that in so long, I hadn't been allowed to talk to really anyone for so long and suddenly as the days and nights went by with these ladies and guy friends who were all so positive and good .. they didn't know the "abused" me, so I could be the "real me!" From then on the "reasons unknown" slowly became known.. and I was my happy laughy smart carefree silly energetic self instead of the person I didn't recognize in the mirror. As the training was ending they knew and could tell something was "wrong at home" We all got close and they were somewhat protective , especially my roommate and a really funny guy from the south.. They both told me they knew something was up. He shared a story of his very religious sister who stayed in an abusive marriage for religious reasons but left once she knew it was harming the children.. He was essentially sharing "my story" and so on the last night I "confessed" my story to my roommate and him and to some of the others suddenly there was some sort of "support system "there to help me get out of my abusive marriage. I just couldn't see it while I was in it..To me that experienced of "getting out" was a "miracle" ! God knew I needed to get out of the marriage to survive and especially with my innocent child ..And the only way for me to recognize how much I was being abused was to get away totally and be around "healthy people " for awhile .. Anyway.. I finally took off a very short time later & never looked back and I'm so thankful my daughter is so healthy happy and loved today. Thanks for allowing your talents to be used to give me the courage to share my story.. Music is a miracle for me. People are miracles too. God bless with confidence , courage , hope, Love and miracles for you and loved ones!😇🙏🏼🎶🌌

[@pinheadlarry299]

Stacey Huntzinger yeah I found the same meaning about this song, it used to get me hyped to talk to this one female I liked a lot but I guess I was too late or didn’t see the bigger picture, anyways I’m glad it went well for you and ur fam 😌

[@Its-kensi15_HERE]

PinHead Larry Thanks but what do you mean you didn't see the "bigger picture"? Just curious

[@pinheadlarry299]

I only focused on myself and her, and not the other guys that were talking to her, so when I was about to tell her what was up, like tell her my feelings for her, she told me this other guy had invited her to the movies as in a date, so at that point there was no point of me telling her so Im just letting us fade right now, I got so used to talking to her it was part of my daily life style and because I took my time talking to her instead of just telling her how I felt. I guess what Im trying to say is that I can relate to most of these lyrics from the song, Like when he says I check my face look a little older, and look a little bit colder (because I guess because I can't really fix the bond we had) so when they say and my eyes dont recognize you no more it hits me deep.

[@Its-kensi15_HERE]

PinHead Larry I'm sorry it didn't work out but you can always pray & take a chance to tell her how you feel then you will know for sure but at least it's out there and whatever love you put out will come back to you some how.. if not from her then she's not the right one anyway & we all deserve to be with someone who loves us back... God bless😇

[@pinheadlarry299]

Stacey Huntzinger I know she felt like that for me but I took too long and it’s really my fault but whatever it’s nothing, aside from the other girls from my past it was different I just felt more connected, more like myself I enjoyed everything we did and never had someone else in mind, (I was listening to Just Another Girl when I wrote that message) but I’m kinda done with it no one can replace that feeling but thanks for responding, bless you too and your fam 🙏

Brandon messed up on the bass but still one of my favorite bands

[@mariorocha9598]

📻😎🎧

[@aledmb]

it's not so much that he misses a word or two because that's normal, but he completely screwed the bass line at 2:07, and that's why you see him waving his head a few seconds later when he recovers... then he looks at Dave like saying "sorry man".. but still a great performance!

[@MagRex05]

Jajajajajaja ¡PINCHE BRANDON ERES UN DESMADRE! en el minuto 2:07 se equivoca en el bajo XD

[@Floydfan47]

Brandon is one of those singers that just doesn't sound good singing while bouncing around, I wish he'd focus more on his singing. Mark is a phenominal bassist, not missing anything if Brandon isn't playing.

Yeah i feel you, but it's still bad. It's not a song for tiny spaces, so his voice was louder than usual, it's supposed to be seamless.

[@jasperjoy1933]

I heard them singing the same lyrics at the same time.

[@TheAftermathPhil]

Firstly, you don't know his name? It's Mark... As a tenor, he's quite good and he rarely sings but because this song is heavy on the bass, he's needed to make it sound better.

[@MrSwiftNuts]

I'm sad to have you as a fan, but he's allowed to not like the song, he should've explained why he thought it was awful rather then just say it is awful.

[@guyhenry8680]

Fair point, I do apologise. But it isn't awful

If you don't play music you would of never seen the mess up at 3:06 ;) I love how Brandon laughs after lolol
