The Killers Ultra Violet (Light My Way) U2 Cover

The Killers cover of the U2 classic "Ultraviolet (Light my Way)" from the Q magazines 20th anniversary cover album of Achtung Baby.

[@drewsmith4452]

This NEEDS to be on all the music streaming services! Wish The Killers would release a covers compilation.

[@eazybeezy]

As a long time U2 fan - at least 40 years - I’m extremely partial and bias to any band doing a remake. Bono and the boys are a classic whiskey that doesn’t need any additive or sweetener. That being said, it’s pretty rare that a remake could actually touch the soul in a different, dare I say more powerful way than this one. This arrangement, the harmonies, the build up, holy crap, it’s so moving it brought tears to my eyes. Tuning out the world and letting it settle into my bones…. So powerful! Well done!

[@barbarahallowell2613]

Yes, exactly!!! I did truly love the NIN COVER of zoo station as well

[@vivailrock]

Maybe the best U2 cover I've ever heard.

[@newmoviereleasescom]

The Depeche Mode version of So Cruel it's up there too.

[@TheLedHeavy]

i'm bias. but this song is a perfect blend of classic Killer sound and U2 brilliance.

[@CC-ew3uk]

Dear Lord, thank you for this gift.

[@Ferdode10]

this part: "when i was all messed up and i had opera in my head your love was a light bulb" beautiful interpretation

[@theholyfather1]

I think Bono’s dad Bob was into opera music , that’s my interpretation of it ! I may well be wrong ?

[@1SirMachinery]

Killers, Snow Patrol and Nine Inch Nails are some of my favorite bands, but the Depeche Mode cover of "So Cruel" is the best thing to come out of all of this. Absolutely incredible.

[@drumconnell1]

Of all the songs covered The KILLERS have done the best job! Brandon's voice sounds is fantastic, has done U2 proud!

[@opheliajade1986]

Nothing....and I mean NOTHING, can come close to the absolute raw emotional beauty of the original song (one of my faves -- if not my favourite song -- of all time and on the best album ever made, IMO), but this is actually pretty damn good! Well done!

[@AlanCINAT1992]

Same opinion! Really liked this version, but the original is just plain beautiful

[@120Vanquish120]

Baseline is pretty epic. It's been a while since I last heard this song, but this has just reminded me how underrated the majority of Acthung baby, though it is a stellar album. Great cover.

[@mauricioramirezespana399]

This song is so great but the voice of Brandon Flowers gives you this feeling of justice... (plus the bass and guitar of Mark Stoermer and Dave Kenuing is great with this song it fits perfectly)

[@nicknox001]

Love the Killers, and just U2's minded forever. This version sounds good, in exact Killers' style. Notwithstanding the fact that The Edge is not there with his magic riff guitar which gives "ultraviolet" what's exactly the song is about... multilevels of achievement. Each instrument becomes just fundamental. Bono's voice is just beauty, transmit pain, anger, quest for sth and more to be said... still we can talk about a very nice cover, but never can reach the BEAUTY of the original!

[@dulesavic1947]

Although I am a big fan of U2 and I do not like covers of their songs, I have to admit that this version is great.

[@Wolfwolveswolf]

Double Thumbs Up! Great- music, great vocals (can feel the vocals- Power in the vocals, done well), great mix, and excellent done covered version of a U2 classic Tune.

[@BenedettaC95]

this is just so beautiful. my favorite song from u2 covered by one of my favorite bands of all the times. and Brandon's voice, do we even have to talk about it? and the whole musical thing. ultraviolet is a beautiful song, written by one of the best bands in the world; and now covered by this band with an incredible potential. this is the music I like, this is what I like to listen. BREATH-TAKING.

[@emkato21]

hos vocals are stunning here. my two favorite bands mashed into one, love love love

[@1192lostthegame]

I respect U2 completely and this has always been my favorite song on what I believe to be their best album but man, Brandon Flowers voice does this perfect justice. Not to mention the lyrical content and style of the song fit that of the Killers wonderfully. Props to Bono for writing such an incredible song but props to Brandon and the Killers for perfecting it. If this is any indicator of the type of music the Killers have coming, I am most excited.

[@MrGarhab]

I seriously can't stop listening to this.

[@Shaderem]

The low notes of Hot Fuss, the guitar of Sam's Town, and the sentiment of Day and Age... welcome back, Killers. We missed you.

[@javiceres]

Nothing will replace the original for me but this is a GREAT cover, and I mean really great, moving, unless a lot of nowadays music. Heart opening.

[@211tfahey]

I think they did great with the ending. Best Killers performance I've ever heard that's for sure.

[@fantasy_events]

Yep

[@jgemslie]

My two favourite bands EVER, both have given me countless hours of listening and gigging pleasure over the year's. Love it x

[@Briiiightside]

I love how you can totally hear each of The Killers in there, they've really made it their own.

[@andrewbarrett4482]

One Of The Best Cover Albums I've Ever Heard From One Of My Absolutely Favorite Persons and Bands💎😊💟🖐️🆎🤞💙👍⚓

[@formulaone07]

They nailed it!

[@marshmallowPie94]

Breathtakingly beautiful, I love Brandon's voice

[@bignickd21]

This would be an amazing song to hear live!!!

[@kevsul47]

incredible song, beautiful and moving.it's stood the test of time and this is a fine cover.

[@citruuus]

I've never heard Brandon sing this good on record before. What a treat! Great cover. But I want more prominent guitar from Dave! Anyway, this makes me so thrilled for the new album! This is the best band around these days.

[@BlazingRebelDiamonds]

Everyone needs to lay off The Killers, both versions of this song are very different but you can tell that each band puts huge amounts of work into every song they do, and I love both versions. The Killers obviously have the respect of U2, Bono has had Flowers on stage with him, and the Killers contribute a Christmas song each year to Bono's Product Red campaign. Lets stop discussing who is better between these two amazing bands and just enjoy the music!

[@tillyandtiger]

Brandons voice is on top form 2.19 onwards is just incredible, cant wait for their return so excited!!!!!

[@aleqkzz]

JUST AMAZING!!! cant wait for The Killers new album, im pretty sure it will be EPIC!!! i hope the songs of their new album has the energy of this!! The Killers, the best band EVER!!!

[@HeRedeemsUs]

This is such a powerful song, the writing is all BONO, and he can hit the higher notes but Brandon is absolutely BRILLIANT! Gotta get this CD ~~

[@456984pats]

Wow. Absolutely incredible. What an amazing cover of an amazing song

[@johnnyjechura417]

take note, Snow Patrol. THIS is how you cover U2.

[@adamg9523]

dont get me wrong i love this version but nothing will beat the original, edges guitar work is out of this world

[@achtungbaby28]

fantastic!!! my most favourite ever song and The Killers have done it justice! :)

[@lizzibear]

I'm just happy to hear Brandon's voice again and the Killers making tunes. They did a good job on this cover though :) I can't wait for their new album!!

[@wigwambam]

the killers always have the best covers

[@sundaywriter]

Thank you so much for uploading this! Love the bass, love those high notes at the end.

[@MarieLandryAuthor]

I love U2...I love the Killers...UltraViolet is one of my favorite songs EVER...since U2's my favorite band, I didn't think I'd like anyone doing covers of their songs, even The Killers, but this is really good. Don't love the beginning, but I'm sure it'll grow on me the more I listen to it!

[@ukaszsmigielski8648]

Best cover band on the planet

[@tany3000]

holly cow!!! that voice!!!!! epic cover!!!! i knew this would rock our socks off!!!! AWESOME!!! KILLERS YOU ROCK!!!!

[@kara366]

Is it even possible for Brandon Flowers to sound bad? This is great.

[@litespeed74]

Close to great. Good spin on it guys for one of the best U2 songs ever.

[@miamac9]

this is amazing. U2 is my all time favorite band and this gives it perfect justice. Love The Killers.

[@cinematicvisi0n]

There is no such thing as a bad cover by The Killers. Seriously, amazing!

[@slivar123]

the killers definitely nailed it like some professionals. there is nothing like a job well done by guys who know what they are doing

[@pabsim1814]

such a great cover by my favorite band of the whole world!!!!!! i love it°°°

[@estoescalle]

de todos los covers, yo creo que esta es la que tiene mas fuerza a U2, de verdad, dos grandes bandas!

[@RedTV8888]

U2 songs that the killers should cover: Where the streets have no name with or without you beautiful day pride sunday bloody sunday city of blinding lights

[@fedebjalways]

Brandon's voice breaks my heart.. such a damn beautiful voice!

[@MrFadeCatton]

Mark's bass is out of this world, brilliant.

[@venusdicaprio]

Absolutely awesome!!!!

[@dmskier]

The only U2 cover that gives their song justice and respect!

[@TheMalcolmVideo]

Que voz, que sonido dios que cover! The Killers

[@ChrisOliver4307]

Love it, it's true to the original without just copying it.

[@alejandrobravo1313]

excelente banda,cada dia me gusta mas.

[@bassaleg1000]

I love this, Brandon's voice is superb.

[@akaMasia]

It's awesome! Im so happy to hear them again! and cannot wait for new album. I love Brandon Flowers & The Killers! :*

[@muzikmofo]

the best cover on the album..epic!

[@Mode-7]

Never knew this existed. Love it. Sounds a bit like Life on Mars in the intro and builds to an ending that sounds like a Joshua Tree version of Ulta Violet.

[@larsulrich85]

baby baby light my way!!! amazing cover by the killers

[@father042]

Really nice cover

[@tylerdurden1221]

This is what covers are about. A tribute to the band, with your own flavor. This version could be on the Pretty in Pink soundtrack

[@wooww91619]

wow this is amazing. i really hope that the new album sounds like this!! i mean they did say there would be more guitars, so maybe it will :)

[@AtomicPeace]

this is such a great cover....

[@247nana]

Sheesh, Brandon's voice. It's gorgeous! I love U2, but the cover sounds much better. Brandon has his way with it that makes it much more powerful.

[@MichaelMcKitt]

If this is anything to go by, their next album will be the best one yet! Such a great song, such a great voice, such a great band! The Killers are my life, and I hope to see them live one day... :)

[@rose_____]

Not a huge Killers fan, but this is by far the best cover on the album! They did great! (LOVE U2 too!)

[@u2akrobata]

Great cover of the U2 masterpiece !!!

[@wouterkaas]

Very nice, a bit Queen-esque cover! I like it.

[@mariaflowers100]

THE BEST cover ever to be heard...

[@AdamMithriddle]

The Killers should do more covers from the 80's and 90's.

[@MartinFuckYeah182]

the killers make my favourite covers

[@B.E.A.1720]

what a great cover...

[@HerrLohmann]

I'd say it's even better than the real thing

[@sukavuka]

dude i feel the same way i love U2 but this guy did an awesome job with this song

[@Black.poppy_]

They are the best... my god, i almost cry. ♥

[@jamesaburrow5119]

Absolute quality meady, keep it rolling!!!

[@rohan12211]

The killers blow my mind every time. Anyone know where I could download this?

[@ni4ka10589]

I mean, this could very well be the best cover of all time.....holy crap!

[@thomasdatank1]

can u imagine seeing this live? especially 2:45-3:20, i can see brandon so into the song, then id probably be crying of happiness. such a good song. god bless the killers.

[@95VictimMark]

THIS IS AMAZING! THE KILLERS ARE THE BEST!

[@tkazzz93]

This gets me so excited for new album!!

[@handyheart]

Killers! Hurry with the album! X3

[@TBIRDsnare]

Brandon was amazing solo, but there's just something awesome about having the band back together

[@CCubed1717]

Really really can't decide which one is better. They're both fucking insane.

[@schpits]

This is the best example where the "cover" outperform the original !

[@Hallucination]

+nirb1979 No, no it isn't.

[@jordannasse116]

+nirb1979 original is wayyyyy better

[@lunnaa1976]

Sorry but no. There's nothing like the original

[@GodOfVictory501]

Hahahahahaha....oh, you're serious.

[@AlanCINAT1992]

Liked this version but nope, no way you can outperform Ultraviolet. Specially after listening it live

[@marianamgonzalez]

Just perfect! So proud of my fave band :)

[@737FSPilot]

WOW! That was amazing!

[@joeguy32]

Amazing cover It renews the song and almost sends off a different message than the original.

[@GlassGlow1]

Don't know if I like the cover more than the original but I do like that this is the first material they've released since last years Christmas single

[@JackmcTV]

The whole cover album is on iTunes now!

[@mamafaker50]

this is an amazing cover. welcome back TK

[@WindyEyes11]

With this in existence, I have more hopes of seeing U2 and the Killers play together.

[@mariaflowers100]

there is NO WAY this only came out yesterday I listend to this like 20 TIMES ALREADY!!!

[@necia13xx]

I'm a huge fan u2 and I like very much orginal version and I think this cover is amazing. Both songs are beautiful, sounds different and that make it more beautiful.

[@achtungbaby28]

fantastic best cover on this album!

[@chileiceman]

Very well done cover. Does the song justice
