The music is haunting, his voice exquisite, lyrics heartwrenching probably the most beautiful song ever written about death. The darkest of the dark. But he changes the whole mood when he sings, "Goodnight travel well", he's letting that person go to the great beyond. It's acceptance, fate, hope, a reminder of what life and death is about. Heavy stuff. God bless ya Brandon.
i think its like.. about when someone so close to you dies, you cant do anything about it, and you remember when they where alive. and sometimes it makes you think about yourself, if you died how everyone would react. very depressing
amazing song it so powerful an when you comapre it to the epidsode of smallville where clark just stairs at lex's demolishment of a truck you can feel how his presence is an howw he tryin to control it all inside but still he picks up his ash an sprinkles them.. v. good song by the killers. by far one of the best
This is the most under rated Killers song ever. 7 minutes of pure emotion and aw inspiring crescendo. it reminds me of the horrible endings we have so many times in thru our lives. death, separation, when we ourselves lie down dieing. we think of all the things we loved and tried to hold on to the best we could, but they slip right thru your fingers at the end, and when they do you're not upset, you're happy that you held on to them for that small second and experienced emotion at it's finest.
In my opinion, this is one of Brandon's best vocal performances!! I can picture his face while singing it! Amazing lyriccs and amazing by an amazing band!
'And all that stands between the souls release, this temporary flesh and bone' ---WOW! < Thats all I can say
i just meant that the song is beautifull, it has a really strong meaning to it and immersed it's just one of the personal feelings that the song gives to each of us ( the song is immersive maby just for me ;) )
in the beginning, it makes me think of someone who has died, but twords the end, it makes it seem as if theyre just passing on to something better. solemn, yet inspirational. quiet and uplifting. awesome song.
I didn't realize believing in 2012 was part of some kind of religion, haha, but I don't believe in it either. I'm Christian, not atheist though (having nothing against them) I love this song so much
Brandon sounds so sad while singing this song,so does the sound in the instruments.But at the same time it's very understanding!i've learned to actually listen to the words.Very sad!!
man i love the killers... i'm sure we can all relate to their problems... it's sad, but you know, stuff happens that we just have to deal with the best we can =)
love the parts:"my spirit moans, with a sacred pain" and stay don't leave me...this song is just...I don't even know how to describe this feeling. It's the best song on Day & Age..definitly the best one. and it's also on my personal top 5. the official video is amazing as well, I'm very glad that the killers care about horrible things happening in the world. now, isn't it impossible not love the killers?? :)
all of their songs are so amazing! im so glad i finally got "Day & Age" on my iPod! these are the only songs i listen to all the time! i love this song. it's really sad, but beautiful.
Super powerful song...whether it was written for sex trafficking or dying people...it's just a powerful song.
