[anominofull]

nice vid man

[KG227]

this is awesome :)

[pwimc]

violins have the key to my heart it always make me cry and smile

[kintaro5000]

@27lilruru I'd suggest you buy it, considering the entire cd is amazing and is deserving of a proper purchase. The VSQ are a very talented group.

[ASimsPlayer]

11 People eat whale bubbles.

[TheLittleCoon]

This song really connects to me and tells my story. And it really makes me tear up and awakens all my numbed emotions I've kept inside. This song really makes the notes sound so much sweeter and I love it. C:

[akumu102]

[AimeeViolette]

2:12 to 2:14 so awesome!!!

[MRJOHAN979]

The Killers are one of my all time favorite bands and this has to be one of their best songs. I rarely find any covers that do this piece any justice but I have to say this cover really is one of the best on youtube, thanks for posting it! :)

[colormist3]

Love this song even more now! :) -3

[THEBLACKPARADEable]

The music these guys play is just so beautiful it makes my heart stop! I LOVE IT!

[Samth030]

No words to describe how beautiful it is. I just cant stop listening to it.

[TheMillsy21]

he doesn't look a thing like jeeeesus

this is wonderful.

[Damase19]

My fav part: 2:00 <3

[DenaeAshlynn]

Unique.. nothing like it

[MRJOHAN979]

Definitely the best cover on youtube! Well done

[nazchowder]

I'd just like to say something to those arguing about the best string instrument below me: VIOLA KICKS ASS!!!! :D SUCK ON THAT!!! :P

[TheMREllis]

@nazchowder

AGREED VIOLAS WILL RULE THE WORLD as my teachers says "The only two things to survive a nuclear war are cochroaches and violas"

[GaaraOfTheFunkXD]

@TheMREllis MY TEACHER SAYS THAT TOO! [cause, let's face it, Violas are friggen cool.]

[nazchowder]

@TheMREllis :D yuuuup!! violas always have the suhweeeetest and weirdest parts in orchestras!! it's all laa dee daa with the high violins and BUM BUM BUM BUM with the celli and bass until we come in with our awesome violas!!!

VIOLAS ARE EFFING AWESOME!!

[asianboywonder2312]

@TheMREllis what about the violists? ach well, hope the sentient cockroach people of the future will learn how to play them.

[aanniieemae]

<33

[LyrixMonster]

Wish they had contrabass in this. We're so left out. T_T

[mmagee71]

one of the best musical pieces ever made

[BrisMetalChic29]

I love this, the song is already great but in a string quartet is awesome. I always wanted a string quartet at my wedding, and to play modern tunes i think would totally rock!

[giilesTX11]

9 people are jealous of young people

[sophie33star]

how many times have i listened to this in 2 days? 20, maybe?

[higurashilover1]

So lovely.......

[shadowgrinch]

7 people don't remember when they were young.

[greaseization]

@shadowgrinch might want to update that

[Ayzukiolover]

Pft. Everything sound better on a cello. <3 Have you HEARD Bach-Interlude on Cello? That proves everything.

[Seolisti]

@Ayzukiolover Cellos definitely have a very rich and deep tone, but as a player of the fiddle- I have to stay biased towards them and violins :P

[Ayzukiolover]

@Seolisti I could never play violin. It's too tiny and high pitched. But I totally understand about being biased. :P

[chequita187]

Amazing. Beautiful.

[CosplayxChaos]

clay4647931 Dunno where YOU come from, but I live in a free country where the people are free to dislike whatever they want to. Does it matter? We like it. Don't let you disturb by 4 people with a different taste of music, just listen and smile (:

[MurderMan95]

the use of classical instruments in the hands of professionals, such as the vitamin string quartet, can make anything a masterpiece, even if you hate the original. :P

[nnathnn]

@MurderMan95 you didn't like the original by The Killers?

[sora113333]

That was realy cool man!!!!!!!!

[kintaro5000]

@sora113333 sweet bro, glad you enjoyed it :D

[RebelliousNerdGirl]

OH MY GOSH.

I love this.

[CitizenSnipsify]

clay4647931 just because it's got a string quartet doesn't make it classical :L

classical's a period of music... jeez

[theangrysmurf12]

@CitizenSnipsify the instruments are considered string classical.

[clay4647931]

4 people are too f*cking shallow to realize that classical can be just as awesome as rock or pop

[roxyredcat]

6 people missed the like button...unless they just really have bad taste. I won't fault them for not knowing what good music is though, it's their loss. ;)

[AndySarvis]

everything sounds better on a violin

[singergirl424]

this was the song for my ballet recital

[GoodHarvestWalk]

I'm a Killers fan and I live string quartet. Can't get any better than this.

[MrBrightside171]

Fair play to the VSQ... really did this song justice!

[BrisMetalChic29]

I am so getting the Cd's of Vitamin String Quartet,, and this one will be on my wedding songs list, because I am having a string quartet for it, and nothing is cooler than modern songs done on strings like this. Totally elegant and beautiful yet funky, I love it. Just beautiful.

[MarissaRay94]

Violas are beast. BRING AWARENESS TO ITS AWESOMENESS

[thetoastedcorn]

@MarissaRay94 EXACTLY im first chair viola in my school orchestra, so i go to google to look up some viola sheet music and its all like "do u mean violin music" and im all like f**k u google

[kirbyrocks6]

@thetoastedcorn

Google was just high, give it a break.

Don't use bing though Bing is for faggots.

[MarissaRay94]

@thetoastedcorn Hahaha I know! It is so lame.

[trentwarriorguerrero]

@thetoastedcorn totally dude! i hate it, im in the same position, it sucks but violas beat the violins any day

[LunadaWolf]

I play violin. . .

but. . .

I may have to get a Viola. . .

just so I can play this song.

It'd be totally worth it, too.

[TrevBotsAPimp]

Melts my heart man. Vitamin String Quartet has a lot of amazing work.

[deltasabre]

This song is so sublime. I ended up downloading it. It's such a awesome song I can't believe how well the music just jives with me. I can honestly listen to this song on repeat for hours on end.

[MrBrightside171]

Incredible version of an incredible song

[mermentos12]

purely amazing! SOOO COOL! :D:D :D

[LongToungedFreak]

This makes you want to listen to the original, and then when you hear the killers you think, "That other version was flawless."

[moogle891]

@blkbeltmage yup that is definitely a viola. it's always nice to hear a viola in the spotlight for once!

[Tarboz9]

Great.

[goodby39]

6 people have nothing better to do then put down amazing music

[piercejn12324]

[blackanu]

This brought tears to my eyes.

[XLightAngelX]

I love The KIllers, I love When You Were Young.

But that is really beautiful, too.

[Vaderfan0307]

the 5 ppl who didn't disliked must be braindamaged

[infernape1jp]

@TehAmazingJonathan They only use violins?

[ChloisMikayla09]

@infernape1jp Nah. They use a whole orchestra. You just hear the violins the most....

No one knows pain like a bassist.

[crippleskater22]

@ChloisMikayla09 well its not really an ENTIRE orchestra, hence the quartet part. just being a pain in the ass(:

[ChloisMikayla09]

@crippleskater22 Ahaha.

You're doing a good job of it. I think they knew what I meant.

: )

[kwollf]

@ChloisMikayla09 nope its a quartet

2violins, 1 viola 1 violinchello

[ChloisMikayla09]

@kwollf Like I said. No one knows pain like a bassist.

[SilverWolfblaze]

That is one truly gorgeous photo. Yours?

And, lemme just say, you are amazing for putting this up !

Tah :)

[kintaro5000]

@SilverWolfblaze Just a photo I've been keeping around for sometime. It just felt appropriate.

[SamioDaynilloAnnie]

OMG It's AWESOME O.O

Can i use this to a cover?

[thecakewuzalie]

hmmm....seems like a lot of people want to hear the string quartet music at there weddings...I might just have a kickass side job in the future VIOLA FTW!

[ChloisMikayla09]

@thecakewuzalie  Urm, bass for the win, sweetie. Haha. : )) Lemme know if you have any IN gigs.

[739yeahyeahyeah]

Finally, some violin music I actually LIKE to listen to...lol.

[taynarasayuri]

i cried.

[JeninhaJonas]

God !

Its very goood

good Job!

congratulations!

[Pracaloid]

I wanna learn to play the viola or violin so bad.

But dunno where :(

[741741852]

Just Incredible :D!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ccskittles28]

Omg I like it better than the original song haha

[jsqarellano]

Awesome!! I own the Vitamin String Quartet's tribute to Hot Fuss. Had no idea they did this song as well!

[Shakira404]

I will argure that this sounds good the way it is. It would not sound as good on violin because the singers vioce isn't high pitch. It has a rich tone that are produced by the cello and viola.

[kristineurie44]

simply beautiful.

[omfgitsjosie]

probably the most awesomest, bombdiggityest violin cover ever ever ever !

[SallyVLove]

increibleeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[Aushou]

@Mike5626 I was torn between Viola and Cello. As a cellist, though, I'm probably a little biased towards cello. But the cello can play much higher than most people think.

[toady80]

with this cover and that of the noisettes, there are two sets of musicians who can play this better than the killers - there is a version that is just on the piano too, highly recommended. It may just be that this piece of music is very good. A great rendition here

[SlamuKiller]

Bloody outstanding!!!!!!

[TikiDawl]

You guys made my year. Thank you!

[chase312]

My gosh this is incredible!

[meatsmith]

u guys are better than any orchestra...!!!

[blackshadow310]

LOVEEE IT!!!!!♥♥♥♥ hermozoooo:')

[trixa31]

amazing.. this is soo good! :)

[newcastle781]

genious

[roidz17]

Beautiful...

[deltasabre]

This is a beautiful cover. Props to who ever covered this. Im not even sure, at any rate they do the original song great justice.

[ThisIsAnthonyJames]

@deltasabre Couldn't agree more

[KillerofDreams777]

love these guys

[kkatrockz]

Cellos!! yay!!

[SachikoST4R]

I feel like crying when I hear this song,

I love the normal version but this is beautiful ^^

[InThMiddlOfAGunFight]

[sulmagnificent]

Sam's Town is one of the best albums in history

[grarey]

[saphiraeragon5395]
