The Killers are the best band in the whole wide world. Hands down. Best. Ever. They're amazing, they cease to amaze me, and Brandon has this crazy voice, but it's still just amazing! :D The whole band...a-m-a-z-i-n-g. Killers, FTW.
thanks so much for putting this song on its amazing! I have the original but just wanted 2 see whether there were any decent covers....10/10 for the killers thankyou
i love brandon flowers!!!!!!!!!! hes sooooo freakin hotttt!!!!!!!! i want ronnies shirt so he can c it!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love the showers scene nd his wedding hes soooo hottt!!!!!! nd if u disagree w/ me then i totally hate u!!!!!!! i mean who DOESNT like brandon flowers??? if u dont then ur crazy. but ya i love theyre band. theyre amazing. thx 4 posting this!!!!!!!!
I don't know about that. It's a very very good cover, but Kenny did an amazing job with it. The one thing the Killers lack is the desperation and sadness that Kenny really put into it...since you know, the song is very desperate and sad. Only complaint though. Kenny Rogers wrote a beautiful song, and the Killers paid great tribute.
Yeah, but I think the Killers were trying to take it in another direction and that the lack of emotion was intentional. There is no desperation in Brandon's voice, not just a half assed attempt at it. I think it's meant to be a little ironic. The lyrics make you think the man should be desperate, but he's very reserved about it.
CAKEs version showed no desperation. The Killers cover is in the middle between Kenny and CAKE.
The song is meant to be very very desperate, I just think Brandon failed to deliver the most important part of the song like Kenny did. Brandon was going for more of a frustrated depressed feeling perhaps. I mean, the song is based off of a murder suicide anyway.
Good point, but I do hear desperation in the form of hopeless resignation in his more deadpan singing, I love the Kenny Rogers version, and I love this one.
HI!!! I'M KENNY ROGERS, AND THIS IS JACKASS! This is the credibility stunt. I'm gonna ask a flamboyant las vegas rock band to cover one of my songs. Then, combine that ...*Chugs Jack Daniels from a bottle*...with their dire straits and joy division covers, plus their lou reed duet, and nobody will be able to tell where thayre goin with their fancy-shmancy music
from what music vidoe came the moving images of brandon with a kissmark on his cheek? It's been bugging me for ages!

This song reminds me of the movie called ''Snow Falling on the Cedars'' for some reason... Probably because it mentions war and Asians...
