The Killers Land of the Free 2020

[@Ember3221]

I want peace for every race and culture. This song helps bring peace we desperately need for our nation and our world.

[@nergygames5460]

This is such a message that a lot of people ignored.... Also may I mention the piano in this is something I won't forget. Very memorable melody...

Great song. Truth always hurts but it's necessary to tell it. Love The Killers.

What truth?

[@bryanwu9215]

I am a Chinese young man who lives in China right now when I was hearing "How to lose our hatred and find your favor How to break these cycles and change our nature" I cried, I just hope the people on earth can hand in hand with each, help each other and understand each other to conquer what is now in front of us rather than something else... Thank you The Killers!

I can’t believe it’s been two years. I cried my eyes out the first time I heard this version. (The original studio version gets me like that too, but this was different. What a song)

[@ramio1983]

People hated this song...called it political....People stopped listening to you...but this song is even more relevant right now than when it was when you wrote it. Thanks for sticking to your guns and reviving this song when we need it most...

The prayer at the end brought tears to my eyes. Such a vulnerable position for Brandon. Very religious people often tend to be conservative, and I'm hopeful hearing this message from a peer might help a few of them gain a new perspective. Here's this very devout Mormon white man, raised in predominantly white environments, speaking out for Black Lives Matter from a position of faith. Very moving.

[@populouslove1425]

Are you sure he's speaking up for Black Lives Matter? I personally stand against BLM but also hate what that cop did. Brandon could be doing the same.

[@maoad_dib]

@@populouslove1425 I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, but hating what happened to George Floyd IS black lives matter. welcome to the movement

"Another stain on the flag" is easily one of the most impactful parts of this song.

Truth, that is a very strong lyric.

[@tomthumb195]

Along with "Another boy in the bag", those two lines made me actually gasp a little.The truth can still shock, no matter how disgustingly familiar.

[@somedude1666]

I'm conservative AF (ok not really but I'm hardly 'woke') but even I got smacked in the face by that line. I would hope it encourages a bipartisan effort to reduce police brutality in the USA.

[@midnightsun7940]

I played this song to my children on its first release and I have done this again with the these profound lyrical changes. Every parent across the world should play this song to their children and explain why. I hope this song moves people to change and to do this we must start at the roots.

[@SuperLovelessgirl]

A simple "there's room for you and me in the land of the free" have me in tears. Because as easy as that line was sang, it really is that easy to spread love not hate in this world.

We need more political songs these days, seems the divide is so strong, there is too much if you dont agree with me your wrong , people dont respect others opinions and listen with an open mind anymore, in the 60's music helped change the course of history forcing politicians to listen to the people and uniting people which is all we can really ask..thanks to the Killers for taking a stance and giving your talent to bring in more light to these dark days.

Happy to repost this from a comment section from yesterday: This reminds me of 2001 and the connection this country had immediately to U2’s ‘All That You Can’t Leave Behind’, as well as the special live act that followed 9/11. I believe Brandon and the boys nailed this one with extreme empathy and appropriate timing. I cannot wait to feel that emotion with them once the tour hits for ‘Imploding the Mirage’. On that note, I truly hope this version makes it to final cut of the new album - it would be very special.

Having protested black rights with my parents as a child in the summer of '67 I never would have expected that 53 years later, so little has changed. Our country's biggest opportunity for change is now. We must VOTE like our lives & democracy depends upon each of our votes. Because it truly does! We must rid ourselves of the hatred, racism, bigotry, misogyny, xenophobia & injustices of this corrupt, traitorous, treasonous administration. Trump & his evil GOP have proven they have no concern for human lives.
