The Killers - A Crippling Blow (with Lyrics)

[streameron]

Great song from the best band out there!

[MrLucky380]

@CornholioTheGreat69 nice man! I jizzed too! Alot

My new favorite song by them. Second being when you were young.

[strife57x]

@maniazadi mine too!

[eroupopper]

I got a feeling that this band is going to be on the music sence for a very long! This band is mangnifcent! I love it!

[jesusramos1900]

13 people ah shut up

[KnightofCarthage]

13 people can't handle crippling blows :P

[overcastx3]

Calm and well? I though he was saying commonwealth haha

[CharliemybootsXD]

@overcastx3 i think its saying 'i will never be coming well' or maybe thats just me

[Camberwell86]

@overcastx3

I scrambled online and I know that I

will never be calm and well

I scrambled all night and I know that I

will never become unwell

I scrambled online and I know that I

will never be common will

Who knows? When I get my own TV show I will interview Brandon Flowers and ask him. :)

[fhedblues2]

I don;t need time I dont need time...

[CornholioTheGreat69]

i listened to the killers and i, JIZZED IN MY PANTS!!!

[MyToxicLullabys]

I swear, there is not one song by The Killers i don't love. They all are emotional, breath taking and soothing. I wish there were more bands like them.. but then again, The Killers are unique and will always be my favorite band. <3

[keyboardqueen98]

i have every other song but this one, tidal wave, and four winds. Blasted itunes.

[josephmhansen]

Reading how much all of you love this makes me sad, because I love it too, but us across the pond cannot buy it!

[BreenoRovers4ever]

Amazing how bands don't always release their best songs as singles. This is up their with their best. Absolutely brilliant!

[ukgirlinusa]

3:06 - melts me <3

[MisfitsHxC]

ahhhh,i remeber how long it took me to find this song,i heard it at my friends house,and then i tried looking for it all over the internet.

[MrRemieTule]

Wow a song that ISNT on vevo yet

[Falsel1ght]

Easily their best track. Really gives you the courage to move on and take life as it comes. Moving out to University this song mean't a lot.

[n3tko]

I love this song.

[Pumpkinfriend]

2 years ago when i was on holiday in spain i sung this song the whole day and danced on it <3

[yamasakiasami]

I totally came

[goslowzo]

WHY IS THIS BAND SONG SO FUCKING AWESOME!?!?!?!?! THEY'RE THE BEST!!!!!

[Baildoggg]

should have been a single

[TheZinzinati]

me gusta mucho

[rongdisk23]

WHY IS THIS ONLY AVALIBLE IN GERMANY

:( thats not fair

[trechea]

AMAZING fucking intro .

[efwiz]

Jesus CHRIST they're so amazing! Every song...EVERY SONG...IT'S JUST MINDBLOWINGLY MINDBLOWING! They're the only band who just keep blowing me away with every album and every *other* track, THE ONLY ONES!

AAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHH­!

[RyanSharp]

I love how The Killers' songs refuse to suck. Even the tracks that don't get on the album are wonderful.

[Camberwell86]

My two favourite bands are The Killers and Muse - for the simple reason that they've never made a bad song in their career. Every one's a cracker. Unbeatable. Proper music. I couldn't possibly choose my favourite Killers song, but this one is a strong contender. Absolutely adore it.

Anyway, onto my main point - has this song ever been performed live? Anyone got any links to any videos of it? PLEASE, I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER! ^_^

[5thsquadcaptain]

@Camberwell86 You are awesome! they're my favourites too!

[5thsquadcaptain]

@Camberwell86 You're awesome! They're my favourites too!

[cookiecarooi]

brandons voice uuuh I love you.....

[thebossheyley]

enorme cancion(LL

[legomexican]

Wow this song Is my favorite killers song I just wish Brandon flowers wouldn't have done his solo album he should have done it with all 3 of the other killers

[bootsskype]

@legomexican exaaaactly :/

[TheUmmwhatever]

This should've been The Killers first single.

[Crazyanna13]

I love this song :D

[batistabomber88]

why isnt this song on amazon? I want it!

[MissCheezy]

The killers can get me through some tough days

[rongdisk23]

AMAZING SONG

[kika447]

la odoro :D

[KKOPPI]

LOVE the last part with the piano!

[jonnoclo1010]

i fuckin love the harpsichord in this track, i dont know why, i just do

[ShitMovies2000]

@jonnoclo1010 What the shit is a harpsichord?

[jonnoclo1010]

@ShitMovies2000 its an old instrument pal, u can hear it in the second chorus, im guessing that they are just using a harpsichord sound on a keyboard, nonetheless it sounds good

[TheBren22]

wow the slideshow is so good that the lyrics aren't even noticed.

[DoozertSue]

@TheBren22 of that was sarcasm...you better check again, th lyrics are in the discription.

[Ksueleman]

Hey dudes, check out replaceable by the Killers its an unreleased song where Brandon sounds amazingly different.;)

[ihnrdz]

@Ksueleman Listen to Desperate too (if you haven't)!! :D

[MrBrandon621]

@Ksueleman every one should listen to replaceable. desperate. where is she. get trashed. waiting for love. and, oh yeah by the way...... AMAZING lost killers songs that need to be put on albums :) 

[ccskittles28]

@MrBrandon621 ahhhhh i sooooooooo agree!!!!! 

[pinballwizard8394]

why is it that half the time their bonus tracks/b-sides/rarities are better than the singles and other stuff on the original albums? any piece the killers write is fantastic; but i just love how they always make these amazing bonus tracks

[melonsgurl5]

@pinballwizard8394 because all the singles are what they think everyone will like, because people only care about mainstream crap :/ I think all The Killers songs are amazing, but lots of people are shallow when it comes to music. For example, everyday at my high school, all i hear is rap crap :/

[pinballwizard8394]

@melonsgurl5 yeah i know what you mean; rap is crap. but the singles aren't always what are best, in my opinion. like this song is better than human. and i like a lot of the b-sides better than their singles, too

[melonsgurl5]

@pinballwizard8394 very true :) yea, the singles are amazing, but their are others more worthy of being recognized. in fact, ALL their songs should be recognized and given more credit :D

[gntrinder]

Awsome!!!

[claujenny]

Deal me a crippling blow!

love this song :)

[hurry447]

the killers siempre tienen canciones ke me hacen sentir bien!

:D

son los mejores!!!

[Pilko92]

Don't know about the song title, ('In the meantime' sounds good to me) but great lyrics and beat rates highly in my book!

[brinmak]

@Pilko92 i think crippling blow sounds a lot better

[TheWatcherPt2]

The song is about ...

him being able to take criticism...

he's saying he knows where he stands... he could take a "crippling blow"...

if you haven't, check out "Tidal Wave"

another great song, But anyone liking the Killers is appreciated< High Five!

[kriketrules]

Or 'i don't need time' x :)

[emzhill1128]

WOW....where has this song been all my life...this freakin amazing!

[kriketrules]

The killers are just amazing and breath taking. they put everything into their music. they appeal to so many people their songs are always able to be sung along to. Brandon, Ronnie, Dave and Mark, you are amazing guys. they are so dedicated to theuir fans. i am so addicted i have the killers everywhere in my life- on my hand, at school, in my ears, in my mind, on my lips, in my soul, on my wall, on my door. whenever im upset, the killers are there. i dont know what i would do with out them xxx

[kaamge]

yeahh im the same i love them <3 all 4 of them Brandon, Ronnie, Mark and Dave i love u all soo much

[HZC919]

@kriketrules AGREEEEEED I AM ADDICTEDDD JUST LIKE YUU

[SacredStoddard]

@kriketrules

lol i dont know who you are but i just fell in love with you. lol jk. but yeah the killers are amazing and i love them so much. and anyone who likes them are instantly awesome :)

half of my ipod is just the killers. the other half is muse :P

i will always love the kilers they are the greatest band of all time

there songs are amazing and they are awesome in concert. i cant wait for brandons solo album to come out. its going to be so amazing.

[MrBrandon621]

@kriketrules Couldnt say it any better :) i never stop thinking about the killers and i never stop talking about them, and when someone is like "you like the killers they suck?' and im just like wow and realize they are one of the dumbest morons musically incompetent on this earth

[kriketrules]

@MrBrandon621 i know. it really annoys me. when i am at school people are like 'oh they are shit!' i am like 'oh yeah so thats why their worldwide fan base is huge is it?!' LONG LIVE THE KILLERS!!!!!!!!!

[MrBrandon621]

@kriketrules Yeah i people at my school are like who is "brandon flowers he must be gay caus his last name is flowers" and i am like "no way he is married and has two children plus he is gorgeous" and then some boys saw a pic of brandon holding ammon and the boys all said he was raping the boy even though he was holding him to his lower stomach, they are so stupid all they do is listen to taio cruz and whatever hiphoppish stuff, they need to listen to the killers i tell them

[kriketrules]

@MrBrandon621 you are completely right!! it really bugs me. most of them need a slap. although saying that, the iother day we had to [play music videos for coursework in english and talk about the video. i chose all these things that i have done adn the only reason they liked it was because young soul rebels did a version called i got soul. it was when people were like 'they sung it?!' i am like yeah and so you cannot lie and say the killers are rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! :D

[Ghostrhino12]

@kriketrules here's what you do withought them:

you fucking deal with it! and then you watch some forestfire101 vids.

[TheKajaku]

@kriketrules Really, i liked your comment, more then just a thump up!

[nawmean]

best track on the album...

[MCKENZIE001]

haha love it

[OxnussxO]

they should make another b-sides-album :D

[MertonSmurf]

god i love the *HUH!" that comes before the chorus :) what a choon

[Polkadotts18]

this song is catchy !!! been suck in ma head all day !!

[aspunkydam]

I love the heavily distorted, phasered bass solo thingy towards the end...

I thinks it's bass and I also hope it's bass cos to get that sound from one takes some serious skill!!

Mark is god!!!:D

[flamingopuree]

I like how the Killers are so dynamic. You've got the loud distorted glamour on Hot Fuss, the Western-style Americana on Sam's Town, and immediately afterwards they melt together without a hitch on Day & Age. No beats skipped.

[dariustheconq]

why why why why germany only??????

[Livfor1Love]

yeah I mean they're american themselves-they could share some love

[kriketrules]

na, you can purchase it on itunes :D i have x

[IxLOVExFRANKxIERO]

as an american i have been robbed! :D

no worries, i'll steal it off of i-tunes.

[coldplay247365]

it's funny you say that The Killers latest album sounds like Pink Floyd. The Killers and Pink Floyd are two bands I love and adore. know almost all lyrics to both bands. Ironic!

[Thomas2488]

you know the killers are covering "time" by pink floyd?

[AgeOfReclamation]

@Thomas2488

WOOT!!!!!!!!

they should do the wall, that would be amazing

[DetonationXImminent]

THATS WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING!

[DaSolidAce]

i love the part Ah-ah-ah

[MyCousinVinny13]

brandon flowers is a god...

[l77481]

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!! i would love to see this live

[UrAJeW14]

CHHOOOOOOOON

[spaceman20killers]

search songwriter in a heartbeat

[aefreak80]

I can never get enough of The Killers.

This track is Perfection!

[bananaX]

I ADORE THIS SONG

[nawmean]

Best track on the album right here... 2:34 to the end with the synths kicks so much ass especially when the piano comes in

[Vochasty]

1:31 to 2:02 is my fave bit - second chorus. Love this song. Snyth bits at end are awesome.

[Fiedl18]

FANTASTIC

[veredle]

the killers are uniqe, i mean because of them i started lisening to indie music and brandon has a great voice:]

[kakapomax]

their new album to me seems a little pink floyd wanna-be

sams town was pretty good though

[cestppschoix]

i satarted listening to indie music for the killers too!!!

[kaukosaadin88]

Me TOo! :D

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

I love this song! They always have good lyrics, "I scramble online and I know that I, will never be calm and well. But I can by in the meantime by myself."

I love that!

[TehMightyLlama]

very psycodelic lyrics.

awesome song, definately!

[Danone306]

They r original..brandos voice makes me crazy *-* oh,btw,he's cute hoho

[Grawstein]

superbius, well said. The Killers have SO much more than Hot Fuss and Mr. Brightside. Yes, the song and album are AMAZING but there's just so much more. Bands mature and get new sounds and if you're a true Killers fan you would appreciate the music. The Killers are rising up to the top and not taking a step back. They're an amazing band and deserve respect and appreciation for their music

[durca2]

AUSTIN, this is an AMAZING song man!

I'll tell you my opinion tomorrow at lunch, lmfao.

[MimuGanga]

...I love this...

[pawnthesword]

everytime i hear the snythesizer come in,, i feel like im in heaven

[chelseakeepsitreal]

lyrics are not correct

[biskitsam]

dont just say they're wrong, say which lyrics are wrong. and i couldn't notice anything wrong with the lyrics.

[sarahdevoy]

imagie this live....

it really would be cool!!

i <3 the killers always!!!!!!

best band ever and always!!!

=]

[keanel0ve]

DEAL ME A CRIPPLING BLOW

damn i'd love to hear this live. think i'd die.

[ImANubAndYouKnowIt]

now i prefer hot fuss style but this is still good and original cuz they dont care that much about the fans they care about the music more then the fans and if they go back to hot fuss style everyone in the world may miss a kickass song that comes out but it wont if they go back to hotfuss style so you never know whats gunna happen so just let it be and let them go how they want to

[nymphie300]

The fact that they change style is proof that they are indeed the great artists they are. Who the hell would want to listen to 3 records that sound the same?

[xXVanillaBlueXx]

im so sick of people crucifying them for changing their style.... stop repressing them and let them create.... dont you think that criticizing every move they make means you're trying to make them crowd pleasers as well... They are so original and amazing. I love The Killers.!!!!! I have been a fan since Hot Fuss as well and there isnt one song of theirs that i dont like.

[VeroUrHero]

rock on true fans of the killers. im with ya! =D

[MissNovemberTuesday]

Duran Duran get crap like that, too. All I saw was people complaining this month because they didn't play Hungry like the Wolf or enough "classic" tracks in the shows. If ANY of those people complaining had been to a show since 1984, they'd have heard HLTW EVERY time. Some of us are actually tired of it. And people blast them for changing through the 90s and recently. Give it up! Rio was 27 years ago. The Killers should go where ever the music takes them and not look back!

[xXVanillaBlueXx]

Oh yea! i totally agree, its like if thats the only song you like and you're gonna stay in that box then buy the effing CD, put that song on repeat and let these boys do what they need to do. Make amazing music......

[superbius1]

well said, just wish more people would think the same way after all The Killers have more than Hot Fuss & mrbrightside,brilliant though they r.

I think it's called progress & don't get boring!

[m1spinner0000]

@xXVanillaBlueXx YYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[toxicjinx]

D: Ouch man I wish people would stop slaming on them for changing their style a bit I've been a killers fan since hot Fuss there not some young band now their improving and exploring. There still discovering what really makes them them give them time will be back to the glory days.

[sabitanclip]

yeah, sawdust and day and age are fugly. spaceman's ok though. i miss the hot fuss and sam's town eras. i can't how believe how horrible this song is.

[LotusEffect]

this is one of the only good song the killers ave done! deffently the best one!

[moltendarthvader]

Go to hell, ass goblin.

[rileyp1212]

no way. mr brightside is the best. oh and all of the killers songs were great until they turned into crowd pleasing dicks and released the shittiest album ever, day and age. but sams town and hot fuss are both amazing albums. after sawdust they started to go downhill.

[joystan]

i agree with you except for the fact that day and age is bad i think it's a testament to their progression as a band and the killers are always crowd pleasers

[rileyp1212]

its just that i wished they had stayed with their original sound. hot fuss was why i started listening to them they are my favourite band and when sams town was released i was a little dissapointed even though it is a great album it just didnt come close to hotfuss. sawdust had a couple of songs that i really liked like under the gun, and tranquilize. but then dy and age was released and the only good songs on that are dustland fairytale, losing touch , and this.thats just my opinion.

[chelseakeepsitreal]

i thought i was the only one who felt this way. But in the end, they're still the best band ever :)

[Hmx174]

amen :]

[benisajosher]

Awesome song. I don't know why this hasn't been released. The lyrics are wrong though; it's not "online" it's "on mine".

[josephmhansen]

It has been released... In the flippin' UK edition of Day & Age. I've been looking for a place to buy it in the US.. No luck as of yet.

[yea100090]

no it has been released. it's on the limited edition vinyl of killers hit single human. look it up on google. they also have it at amoeba and hot topic.

[xminke]

I saw them on Pinkpop 2009. They really were great. almost died under te loads of people, but whatever:P it was great, I love them

[maxpain17]

i think this song should have gone on instead of i can't i like that song but this one is better and probably would have mixed in better

[blueberry2358]

samo skoda ker jo niso zapeli na hipodromu...

ena mojih naj. pesmi

[AjxxTHEbunny]

ja škoda.. :( tut men je ušeč..

sam aLo so bLi svetouni..pa ful folka je blo..tam paje okol 30 tisoč :)

[Spelcyxx]

The Killers are comming to Slovenia!! AAaah. Can't wait!

[shiaxxx]

haha. in to v NEDELJOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[justlikepoisonivy9]

[blueberry2358]

[sarzoT]

i love this song brandons voice has really improved

[mmeflowers]

L'air est génial, quelle imagination ils sont géniaux!!!!!!!!!

[JordanSingle96]

PLEASE!!!! Does anyone know if the killers are coming to Tampa Florida????? I must know!!!!!!!!!

[moltendarthvader]

No, they're not coming to Tampa. They're not coming to Florida at all on this tour. They did for Sam's Town.

[sheffno1gunner]

They're meant to be an American band but for every tour they always come to Sheffield my home city in Britain, theres only about half a million people here as well! It sells out in under 5mins after tickets are released. They are easily my favourite band and probably Sheffield's, well at least top3, seems to be the same all over The UK tho, tickets are literally like Gold Dust!

[badboybrettjones]

theyre still amazing but i did prefer previous music as now its too comercial

[nenaghh88]

your so right, theres all these different sounds everywhere and they just seem less .. killerish..

[catlover876]

i don't need time i don't need time.i love this song!!!!!!!!!!i want them to perform in new york,they did,but i didn't,didn't have the money.and i really wanted to go!

[MethaBenzy]

I like this song more than a lot of the ones actually on Day & Age. Why is it a B side? >.>

Day & Age is still a good album. I just love this song. Would be in the top 3 songs of the album for sure. For me, of course.

[TiimGriffith]

Ya you can go to Hot Topic and get it it's on the back of the human record, theres another unreleased single on the back of the spaceman record

[xmusicxbabyx93]

i love this song! the change in brandon's voice plus the cool guitar and the sound affects..adds up to another awsome song by the killers..

[ALaudun]

That was great. It was only released in Germany (like a bonus track)?

[dobermancrazed]

"Steal me from under my clothes"

...whatever you ask Brandon ;)

[sailnutt]

@ 2:27 its just amazing!

[sarzoT]

this song is so good i just cant stop hearing it

[maddiexsaurus]

delicious and amazing :)

[RatchetClank93]

always thought he said "Will never be commonwealth".

[VacantOccupation72]

LkiOllVerEs

[webossolid]

y la fuckin lyric?????

[kaps328]

esta donde dice "mas informacion"

[Phe0n1xF1re]

good song i like other songs better tho :)

Excellent song tho

[novapx523]

Brandon rocks my world!!

[youngguitarfreak94]

very nice song, why didnt they put it on a "special edition" of day&age?

that would be awesome.

I would buy it^^

[Exarian]

they have it on the back of the vinyl single record.

[Dleedude]

Great song. "Deal Me A Crippling Blow!" 2:00-2:20 is the best part :D

[HeinousSheep]

it's like the entire song is working up to that one moment.

Great song, best on the album

[Cilogy]

I love this beat, its like a James Bond song!

[tapundinmak]

The best

[awsome13amy]

I LOVE THIS SONG no, MORE than LOVE i Dont have another word for this song it's just, awesomeness
