[mollyreadsalot]

I always smile when I listen to this song. And Brandon Flowers smiles while singing it.

[TheMas910]

Jimmy Kimmel is a fool.."Here with the song Magdelini". Yeeeah, that's it, Magdelini.

[KimiKaos84]

I LOVE Brandon. But I like him better when he's singing about touching skin on his skin, touching bones, and looking up skirts. Oh yeah... did I mention I have a huge crush on him, and hope to become his second wife??

[dizzyizzy97]

@KimiKaos84 please get a life

[KimiKaos84]

@dizzyizzy97 I think you need a brain.

[xXblythe]

Bless him. He has said that he has really bad performance anxiety so sometimes he looks a little freaked out while he's singing... but he always sounds amazing.

[Funnymaker2]

The drummer is in SERIOUS drum mode...I know cause I play 2

[dizzyizzy97]

@Funnymaker2 your a freak.

[historybuff09]

[LyndyRayneShay]

I love the way Flowers wears that gorgeous smile while he sings.

[ccbc23]

the bassist is such a doucher.

guitarist is awesome.

[twistchi36]

@smilie4evar haha at least i'm not the only one who thinks it's weird. I love this song, but i kinda got creeped out trying to watch this lol!

[goldwincs]

seriously.. i think it's the best song from the whole record. i hope it's gonna be a single. and that's an AWESOME performance...

[GuidoT10]

@goldwincs it will be released as a single in 2011

[ccbc23]

@GuidoT10

no it won't. no more singles from the album.

[JaAEspinozA]

@ccbc23 actually i think it will...

[ccbc23]

@JaAEspinozA

nah, only 2 singles from the album. brandon's going back to the killers early 2011, and he's done touring by december 15th.

[kejotikyuri1986]

@ccbc23 where did you get that from?

if I'm right, Magdalena is the next single.

[ccbc23]

@kejotikyuri1986

Magdalena won't be a single, even though it's one of my favorites.

On Killers Talk, there was a lot of talk, almost absolute certainty, that there'd be only 2 singles. However, recently, there was a post about Jilted Lovers & Broken Hearts being released as a single in February, but no mods/admins have declined/confirmed this.

But Brandon is going back to the Killers in early 2011, and they're going to work on a new album. You can find that out anywhere online.

[1111xeni]

NICE



[twistchi36]

i think he blinks about 3 times the whole song.

[rrondo1]

@nomadslive Are you really the background singer?You're hot!!! And I love your voice...If you were in porn you would definitely be in my Library:) jk.Blue skies Rondo

[KKOPPI]

fucking ads

[Eugenia8212]

I SIMPLY HEART EVERYTHING HE DOES AND WANT TO SCREAM ABOUT IT!

[Mycatispossesed]

When i first heard this i thought it was an Angel singing. Then i realized it was Brandon Flowers, a freaking GOD!!!

[gaz126]

that cardigan... fucking champion

[DiorJunkee]

Any one know who makes the shoes he's wearing?????

[Mycatispossesed]

I LIVE IN NOGALES!!!! :]

[graciefleischer]

Just love this song we are from Nogales and my husband has done this walk.

[FadeCatton]

I'm watching this from my iPad

[kara366]

@FadeCatton

Congrats.

[87rachella]

wish I had a boyfreind like him!!!

[ajbbig14]

the blonde backup singer is constantly eye fucking him during every show its hilarious

[Garuda1337]

@ajbbig14 You jealous? I am.

[ajbbig14]

@Garuda1337 jealous of him ya she's mad hot

[Sk8Ninja7]

2 people(including me) want the killers back.

[svN92]

2 People don't know the good taste of music !

thumbs up !

[viajescarrillo]

maravilla de cancion, Nogales - Magdalena ohhhhh

[otxin1]

Brilliant!!! Best song of the album

[silly55lady]

He makes wearing a sweater vest look completely okay.

[svenJINX]

@silly55lady I bet he would. If he was wearing a sweater vest. Which he's not.

[37gris]

Magdalena is my country!!!!!!

[doctorwho904]

That bloody back in singer is on EVERY live show and she looks like a dirty secretary!!!! i think i am just jealous because i'm so in love with brandon, but still....

[Garuda1337]

@doctorwho904 Yes, but the backup singer on the left is hot! The one on the right feels she needs to compensate by dressing like a secretary out of a porno to draw attention away from the more naturally beautiful counterpart.

[Peeto87]

@Garuda1337 I agree but you're being a bit harsh. It's not her fault she's brunette and needs glasses. She's just working with what she has.

[nomadslove]

@Garuda1337 I was not aware that the beauty and art of music was dictated by how a backup singer looks. That's what's wrong with art today...People have a twisted perception of how things should be. People like you are killing it. Besides, I'm sure there was a wardrobe assigned to the show. She was most likely told what to wear. I am also sure that when Brandon Flowers wrote this song he was not expecting people to focus on how his backup singers looked during the performance of this song.

[Garuda1337]

@nomadslove Whaaat. You can appreciate the song the same time you are ogling his backup singers. What are you, gay?

[nomadslove]

@Garuda1337 Lol, you're a dumbass! I'm a female. If I suspected anyone of being gay it would be you. (not that there's anything wrong with being gay) I have seen you comment about her wardrobe on a couple of Brandon Flowers videos.

[Garuda1337]

@nomadslove LOL. You jelly? Perhaps you are self conscious about your fugly appearance so you have to vent by insulting prettier women on the interwebz?

[nomadslove]

@Garuda1337 I never insulted anyone, that was you. Get your stuff straight. Unlike you, I am very comfortable with my self and I don't fell like I have to criticize other people to make up for my own inadequacies.

[saentific]

@Garuda1337 But when the girl on the right sings she looks constipated. :/

[ccbc23]

@Garuda1337

hahahaha. that's exactly what i thought about her.

[sammylol]

@Garuda1337 she's not dressed like a secretary. Are you fucking blind? She's wearing a dress and glasses dipshit.

[doctorwho904]

beautiful song!!!

[MrDyl666]

lol how the hell did they get immagration from this it it is obviously not

[foxhound1970]

I could've sworn that girl at 3:19 is also in the crowd when The Killers did Spaceman, must be dedicated fans lol

[davidsan1990]

@foxhound1970 I have met her and she is DEFINITELY a dedicated Victim. Her and her friend have gone to several concerts and told us that they have gone as far as Italy to see them. They have tattoos and everything dedicated to TK :D

[EddieMaruchan]

love this song, it is done with a lot of passion. If you don't understand it is a pilgramage from Nogales to Magdalena which is140 Miles south of Tucson it is done during the last month of september beginning of October and Oct. 4 is the B-day of the Saint San Francisco who helped the Indians and died in Magdalena a lot of miracles have happened to people if you beleive and have faith

[theavocadoroller]

lol wow you people thinking this song is about illegal immigration or drugs have got to be the DUMBEST people ever. have you not listened to the lyrics? or go find a performance of him giving an introduction to this song that TELLS YOU WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT before you say he is supporting drug lords or illegal immigrations.

[ulcia87]

o panie dojarki ze stodoły też śpiewają ;) 1:03

[superbius1]

he seems on a real upper & enjoying himself. top song & best off the album for me!

out to buy it tomorrow

[pteromechanophobia]

I love how he smiles and laughs when he performs!

[sammylol]

@pteromechanophobia damn that's really mean

[pteromechanophobia]

@sammylol what do you mean?

[ReadMyMind94]

A lot of you have got it completely wrong. It's got nothing to do with Mexican's trying to cross the border and illegal immigration.

It's about a Catholic Pilgrimage from Nogales to Magdelena - Brandon has said this himself and said he wants to do it one day.

Where/How anyone got the idea of immigration is beyond me.

[JeanLouisBarrault]

Good Lord, I hope this isn't the beginning of his political statements. Our country has been ruined by illegal immigration.

[PaisleyShankley]

@JeanLouisBarrault - no this song is about a spiritual journey where people walk from Nogales to Magdalena. They ask for forgiveness, good fortune, etc.

I don't know how you got 'immigration' out of this song. but whatever. It's a beautiful song about something amazing

[MrRomantico1984]

This is class act cant wait to see him at the brixton acadamy. :)

[FranzBrolo]

Guitarist looks like he just got picked out of a High school Audio visual club.

[laumedusin95]

what king of name is this....anyway i love it!!

[Dezzo090]

i would fuck that blonde backing vocalist all over

[rosenpenis]

Oh my god. This is good. Drummer kicks ass ! Perfect.....

[TheMsblinkers]

I WANT TO HAVE HIS BABIES

[TheSkategirl48]

Going to see him in Leeds next Wednesday, can't wait!

[gabrielleromy]

@TheSkategirl48 - me too, it should be great! x

[natka1104]

I love his smile I love this song , he's beautiful ;D

[Pavlinara3]

My favorite song from the album FLAMINGO

and also HARD ENOUGH & CROSSFIRE

I listen to these songs on and on and on NONSTOP ;)

[robjaysvideos]

such a good vibe this song. such a phenomenal muscian

[ChupaloRico]

What a song¡

[TheMooshieMoo]

I was there that night front row barrier & he was completely awesome the whole night!!! Wish I could re-live it all over again!!!!

[jennyhqiu]

I love this song, its one of my favs, BF sings with such high energy, like how he mentions San Francisco in the Lyric. :)

[haley7luv]

He is phenomenal. 

[scarlettseeley]

I'm just thinking how much brandon must have hated the Bud light logos behind him. I always hated playing in frontg of Molson Canadian Banners. But you do what you need to do I guess. Great key change towards the end, eh?

[scarlettseeley]

Bets vocalist live that I've heard in a while. Bono should be proud of his prodigy. hahaha.

[fishy8081]

wow 0.o

that was too good!

[JoeHartFoundation]

Best track on the whole album ! Extremely catchy and uplifting, like a giant trip from Mexico to the USA and the last minute is pure epicness !

All Hail Mr Flowers, one of the best frontman and songwritters of the world !

[fishy8081]

@JoeHartFoundation amen to that

[marijOoO794]

I love this song, and the lyric is fantastic. I'm from Mexico and I liked so much when I heard for first time the lyrics from the disc. I loved all the songs of the disc.

[kwykman]

Ladies and Gentlemen............Brandon Flowers is now one hell of a sexy man :-)

[EsmiKittyKat21]

i'm from where he sings and it's beautiful! <3

[nublena]

♥.♥!!!

[JoeHartFoundation]

It's extremely strange to see him playing with another guitarist, bassist and drummer O_o

It''s totally surreal to be honest , I'm so accustomed to Ronnie Vanucci unique style and raw energy (and from what I've read, he was there during the recording of this album).

Not saying those new musicians are not good , they totally are.

Extremely catchy road movie song, it's like a journey throught the USA to Mexico and I think it's about The LORD and Mr Flowers' Faith

[737FSPilot]

@JoeHartFoundation They say the band wanted to take a break after being on the road for a few straight years. I'm surprised he made this album, but I'm glad he did because its great! Cheers to all the BF/Killers fans out there! =)

[Khanjin1]

He seriously has one of the best voice I've ever heard, especially live, and he seems to be getting better everytime as well. Love it!

[ZOUK1985]

What a voice, so unique

[TheScreamingmimis]

Brilliant!!!

[541step]

heart attack

zzzzz

[BrandonsVictim]

he's such a great inspiration..really i donno where i would be in life if he wasn't around :)

[guntoter2]

That sacred 60 mile long road from Nogales to Magdalena is a death road now.. Nobody is going to fix the broken heart of Mexico.

[JeanLouisBarrault]

@guntoter2 Yes, it's a great song, but with Mexican drug lords beheading both Americans and Mexicans, men women and children in an epidemic of violence, and watching Mexico imploding in on itself, well, frankly I don't feel like singing a rollicking song about it. I would be interested in his inspiration for the song - or maybe I'd rather not know.

[couchpotatoew]

anybody know where you can get a bracelet like the one he has ? :L

[coldplay4ever9]

@couchpotatoew idk its just super awesome

[Pavlinara3]

FANTASTIC OUTSTANDING AWESOME AMAZING

No more words!!! I will buy his Album

[Travis646]

no girls voices can replace daves background voice :D

[RunNeonTiger27]

@Travis646 haha! thats like exactly what I said on the crossfire video!

[JoeHartFoundation]

@Travis646 and no drummer can replace Ronnie raw energy :D

[fallenstar141622]

Every time he smiles I melt into a puddle of goo. He's too adorable. It can't possibly be legal.

[fadohko11]

I love him. that's it.

[chesslove]

The song "Magdalena" is based up on a true story, is pure real life, it is an amazing place ;)

[JoeHartFoundation]

@chesslove What is the story behind the song ? Isn't this a song about faith ?

[chesslove]

@JoeHartFoundation well yeahh it's about faith... but this faith comes from the missionary founder of Magdalena San Franciso. It's amazing see that thousands of people walk from Nogales to Magdalena. The purpose of the walking is called "manda" that means like a promise to San Francisco, you pray to him and ask him for your needs or family needs...it happens only once in a year, actually is in this days... just in October.... you should look for some info about it... I'm from Nogales ;)

[JoeHartFoundation]

@chesslove Interesting...I'm gonna google this to see what i can find about this story....Brandon is a strong believer himself so i'm not surprised he would sing a tale about this mexican story. Thanks for sharing this, now I understand this track way more and it's still my fave from the album for sure :p

[OminoMnzAbraham]

@JoeHartFoundation well, its about a pilgrimage in Mexico, that is from nogales to magdalena in Sonora, thats one theory, and the other will be about a mexican that is trying to cross the border.....but maybe i am mistaken

[Bluexploder]

haven you noticed most of the people playing with Brandon Flowers they are more his own age?

[dannymdz93]

omg he could wear a christmas costume and still look hot...

[granbranfan]

BRILLIANT!!!!!

[Munsk]

sounds like u2 :s lol

[jen4123]

@Munsk wtf. lol this sounds nothing like u2. Not his voice nor the song. Completely two different people. With complete different voices.  wow. I cant believe you just said that. lol...

[Munsk]

@jen4123 lol? really? hahaha, I really think the song and vocals in fact make perfect sinc with other u2 (repetitive) musics! well...

[ChloeRockIndie]

Brandon this so is amazing, the album is amazing and YOU are truly amazing! this is my fave song on the album aswell as my mum and dads ! haha , also congrat's on being number one in the U.K :) x

[dpt4565]

His other band members seem so odd.
