Sounds like they ripped off the Beatles Two of Us in parts... |

For a song that's supposed to be an anthem, it feels strangely somnambulant, especially the chorus - "gonna bring yourself done, yeeaahhh" just sounds lacking in energy for a song that's supposed to have some uplift. I want to like these guys but I feel like they fail to really bring it.

This was the Killers best song, and I don't see anything close after this from them.

The only thing that the Killers (lol), could be doing following Porcupine Tree is on their knees in awe and reverence........Hoping for a crumb. |

Here's a couple more ideas... I care but I'm not going to be up in arms over it. Or maybe fighting isn't always the answer. Take your pick. I don't assign demerits for ambiguity in my music. |

A tad long and repetitive, but...
FUN!

Normally don't like the Killers much, but I dig this song and esp. the souljah refrain.

Does it just sound retro or is it really old?

This song and I get along quite well......not sure what it is about it but I have upped my vote to a solid 10. It has staying power and will be around for years to come, at least in my playlist. The lyrics are powerful, the singing even more so and it touches me like most songs rarely do. |

Not many "anthem" songs out there these days - and - I still like this one.

a friend of my suggested it means one has heart but is unable to fight for what they love, thus suggesting wanting and weakness. whether that interpretation applies to this song i dont know for certain. |

I like this song a lot more since I watched the movie "Southland Tales", where Justin Timberlake (!) lip-synced this while a bevy of beautiful female dancers, all dressed alike (I think in nurse uniforms), danced around him. Can't get the visuals out of my head when I hear this song now.

Anyway, it's not deep. It's not even very meaningful, but "utterly devoid of meaning" goes too far.

One of our local radio personalities uses this song as bumper music. I've always liked the song and really appreciate that I can hear it from beginning to end on RP! Thanks

Something about this song just MOVES me emotionally, I can't put a finger on it but its one of those I love every time I hear it.
