im an aspiring filmmaker and made a video to the three songs in the murder trilogy. not to talk myself up, but its the best version ive found out there. please take a look on my page, from one killers fan to another, i promise you'll enjoy it
Fuark yeah they just played this on the NFL season opener on NBC. Thanks for the Murder Trilogy explanation. I've heard about it before but I forgot how awesome and creative it is. Brandon Flowers is the best.
WoW!!! Hell Yeah!!!! Love the Killers! Been listening to a lot of the Killers, Hey You!, My Chemical Romance, The Clash, Kaiser Chiefs, and No Doubt....
Hey You! is still pretty new, but they're waaaay dope. Pop/Rock/Punk with a cool edge. Plus they've got a pretty hot chick singer too :-) ...check em out...
I wanna look up, look up, look up yeah eyah.... How naughty of Brandon!! I can't see him like that after stating he's shy!! I like the way the Killers get that wild side out of him...
2:09 That's in NYC and I've walked on that very same sidewalk countless times! I know the exact spot, that's on 3rd ave between 14th and 15th. I can even see the Duane Reade near the top right-hand corner. I almost died because I recognized that spot immediately! I can't believe how many times I walked on the very same spot that the Killers were on.
It's actually about the 'Preppie Murder' by Robert Chambers. Chambers walked home from a local bar with Jennifer Levin after being dumped by his girlfriend, and raped/strangled her in Central Park. That's my theory, anyway.
haha oh these ppl always singing about killing.... oh wait. OH!!!! THATS WHY THE BAND IS CALLED THE KILLERS!!!!! oh wow i never wouldve figured that 0out
How many more amazing songs do The Killers want to write and then not even release them, Jenny Was a Friend of Mine, Change Your Mind, Midnight Show, All The Pretty Faces, Daddy's Eyes, Where The White Boys Dance, Losing Touch. Their current released singles are just the tip of an ice burg, a BIG ICE BURG. My advise to part time Killers fans is and always has been, TK have just as good if not better unreleased songs than their singles - dig deeper!
cont. people normally tend to form a basic image of a person based off the thoughts of others,and together they help build almost a falsified or exaggerated image of a human being.
I honestly think its not a trilogy cause the lyrics to Mr Brightside tie in perfect to this story. think of Mr Brightside as a the first song then leave the bourbon on the shelf ect to follow it makes sense.thier songs and music have some great writing!
I know what you mean,but he wasn't considered who he is "now." Woman are a large portion of what it is that makes people gain more attention,they spread word of every little thing,even when it doesn't concern them,as for the woman or woman that cheated on him,I'm sure she wishes that she hadn't been so shallow,or careless. He is "Brandon Flowers",but he is still human like you and me,most people are never what they seem to be at first glance. through "group think" people.cont.
@steave707 Dave worte Mr Brightside as early as 2001, then he gave a demo to Brandon on their first meeting, then Brandon added synth and worte the lyrics for the corus as Dave hadn't written any lyrics for the corus up until that point, Brandon tells that story before the performance of Mr Brightside on their "Live at Royal Albert Hall DVD" its on YT.
It does work very well, Brandon said that Mr. Brightside was about a girlfriend cheating and how jealousy is a bad place...I think that was just the purpose. Also, he explained the trilogy in an interview. Props for the great observation, though :D
You know "somebody told me" could easily be connected, being a song which is basicly about jealousy. "coming out of my cage" could mean where he's just come out of questing, that or I could be looking too far into it. And we all could.
Some people call it guyliner, and he doesn't look too good but most boys look nice when they're wearing a little eyeliner. It brings out their eyes ;P
The reason you feel exhilarated when you listen to it is the upbeat and exhilarating music itself.
You hear the music (which comes with lyrics) and you feel the rush. Unfortunately, that means you're feeling a rush while you're listening to these lyrics- and there are people out here who may be on the edge already, who allow themselves to associate that rush with the LYRICS, which, remember, are the firsthand account of a guy committing murder.
@bKiwiD Holy cow. You're right! I actually never really analyzed these lyrics before. I had always assumed they were just about a couple of kids being promiscuous or something.....now I'm sad. This changed the song for me. :(
