KILLAHS
I’ve been super into The Killers lately. I’ve realized that their songs (a lot of them at least) have such an interesting, distinct tone to them…kind of like a frantic, nervous yearning behind the lyrics and music. It’s really interesting and really good.
Current favorite songs:
- Run for Cover (this is the best The Killers song, fight me)
- Just Another Girl
- The Man
- Human
- Some Kind of Love
Unpopular Opinion:
Mr. Brightside is not The Killers’ best song. Their best song is Run for Cover, hands down. Before Run for Cover came out, their best song was When You Were Young.
Sorry, just wanted to say that.
Oof.
Holy GODS, what a good song:
Like…woah.
I don’t really follow The Killers very closely and only have like five of their songs, but every song I’ve heard from them has this amazing undertone of…I dunno, sadness? Angsty sadness? Anxious angsty sadness? Nervous fear? There’s this emotion that’s hard to define that seems to be right at the edge of the tone of their songs. I love it. This song has it to the extreme, despite (or because of?) its high energy.
It’s great.
(edit: It’s a Five Star, too.)
