museick28 Live in the present moment, that I can do. But not look back is a thing I can't. We're all walking backwards into the future. We look at our past as we walk away from it. That's why we can't see the future. I can't help but look back. My memories are irreplaceable, invaluable, incorruptible. And vanishing before my eyes. I know I can't have my childhood back, but I never have to let go of it. I'll remember as long as I can.

As kids we were all happy because we didn’t know what life was really like. As we grow older we realize how chaotic and laden with suffering life really is. Breakups, deaths, depression, betrayals, aging, dead dreams, etc. These experiences make you want to breakdown and cry but you have to save face so you at least appear happy. Smile like you mean it…

For that, I thank The Killers for making, easily, one of the best albums ever and allowing our ears to behold it. Thanks

This comment is dedicated to the memory of my Grandad (1934-2016). He lived in Eastbourne with my Granny, who is still alive today, until his death in 2016. Historically, when going to Eastbourne, Dad would usually drive me down. The radio reception as we went through the South Downs (which are full of chalk) was quite poor, so we usually had a CD playing in the car - often an album by The Killers. I don't think there are any albums by The Killers that Dad doesn't have. To this day, I still associate The Killers with East Sussex (the county in England where Eastbourne is located).

Hey! Here's a quick reminder to listen to this song again =)
As kids we were all happy because we didn’t know what life was really like. As we grow older we realize how chaotic and laden with suffering life really is. Breakups, deaths, depression, betrayals, aging, dead dreams, etc. These experiences make you want to breakdown and cry but you have to save face so you at least appear happy. Smile like you mean it…

So very true! Ignorance was bliss
This generation of pre to late-teens needs to listen to this song and absorb its meaning. It's certainly brought up a valid point, and makes me realize that I'm not old yet, but time will fly. Make the most of your time, and have memories you'll want to keep.

I'm 17, and I discovered this song when I was 7/8 years old. I never really understood the meaning of the song until I started listening to this again just this recently. It's telling us pre- to late teenagers to keep living, growing, learning, and enjoying our lives from here on then. And "smile like 'we' mean it" throughout. ^^

Welcome to the existential crisis song
Sitting here, eating a sandwich from Carl's Jr and on its box says "Eat Like you mean it." Made me think of this song, couldn't stop thinking about so here I am listening to the killers and suddenly remembering that it's actually quite a sad song. As sad as it may be, it just reminds me how grateful I am to get through all the tough shit to still be here today, enjoying this yummy food, roof over my head, and smiling because I do mean it now. It gets better. I mean it.

I know what it's like to be homeless, and remember a better time , you don't have to stay warm in a public toilet, in a restaurant, and you remember the goals you once had. I listen too this song at the homeless shelter, it gets me by,
I can remember listening to this as a young kid, sitting in the backseat of my parents car, walkman at my side with my earphones in listening to "Hot Fuss". It was my favorite CD and when I look back I realise how much their music meant to me at the time, and now. For that, I thank The Killers for making, easily, one of the best albums ever and allowing our ears to behold it. Thanks

Some of the best memories come from this song. It's as if they all explode into a moment and I feel exactly how I felt back then.
When he says : "oh, no no no no" that's him crying out loud for his painful heartbreak.
Such a great song. I can't say I've loved everything The Killers have done, but this whole album was just brilliant and this is probably my favorite song on it.
got 5 kids, and all of them have loved this band. proper....
Was like 13 when this album came out , still a classic 🔥
This song always makes me smile even when I don't want to. Like it subliminally pulls the smile from my face even when I'm sad.
Smile like you need it.

What makes this song so good is that it feels sad and it can be tide into however you are feeling listening to this song. Favorite song of theirs hands down because it hits me harder than any other song I've listened to.
this song reminds me of when I was young and someone who was in an unfamiliar place. at thanksgiving, Christmas, new years, all these happy times were sad and unknown for me. we were always moving homes and all I remember is listening to this song as the snow fell down. Good times.
This guy is a genius. Excellent meaning. It made me find closure to my long life doubts. Now I smile like I mean it.
I miss them sooo much they should make an album this year with music like this song..it rocks!!!

Now this is a song I haven't heard in a long time.
"Change your ways, while you`re young" . . . That`s one of my favourite quotes!
I used to listen to this song a lot between 2005 and 2007...after so long, I'm coming back to it.
My parents just sold their house the house that I grew up in with my brother and that had been in the family for 50 years, this song hits hard now knowing that someone else will enjoy all the things I did. It’s hard but I’m happy for someone else to get enjoyment out of that house like my family did.
Reminds me when I was growing up as a kid. 80's Rockish.

visceral fate I feel this way with all music by the killers actually. the first time I heard them they sounded so familiar and I somehow already knew the words.
This is now my new favorite Killers song. I have loved them since 2004, but I didn't realize how wonderful this song was until they ended their show with this in a concert in 2008. Just Awesome.
I love this song, it can always get me to cry.I know it shouldn't make me sad, but it reminds me of how a lot of the time I usually take a smile..I still love it though.

So many years of not listening to The killers, and now that I’m listening to it, with my baby by my side, gives me so many nostalgic memories. I hope to see my comment in a decade or so, and remember this very moment, laying on my bed, with my boy next to me, trying to make him hear The Killers too lol he actually likes it. Sam
I haven't heard this song in years! The Killers are so great :)
This comment is dedicated to the memory of my Grandad (1934-2016). He lived in Eastbourne with my Granny, who is still alive today, until his death in 2016. Historically, when going to Eastbourne, Dad would usually drive me down. The radio reception as we went through the South Downs (which are full of chalk) was quite poor, so we usually had a CD playing in the car - often an album by The Killers. I don't think there are any albums by The Killers that Dad doesn't have. To this day, I still associate The Killers with East Sussex (the county in England where Eastbourne is located).
This song = the true definition of Jerome Tang and Kansas State's relationship. EMAW 4 LIFE!

Zitlaly, I am over 50 and I wish people my age would go back and listen to The Killers, The White Stripes, The Black Keys and on and on. But take heart if you dig and they can't it's just one area you are more open too... I think The Killers write some of the best songs I have heard along with Pete Yorn and The Goo Goo Dolls..... but I still dig the Stones and the Who and you will find people of like mind as you get older.....
A good friend showed me this song in 2019. Its one of my faves of all time. Thanks Nate!
I'm 14 and I'm allways thinking like that. My parrents were listening to Korn, Papa Roach, Rammstein, and The Killers when mom was pregnant. Now I'm listening to great music and I'm proud! Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Poland.~
This song just breaks me. Everytime.
in 2010 a relationship with a person that I loved with all my heart ended, I went through hell and this song would play over and over ,gives me chills every time I hear it....
This song opens up your eyes with its deep loving lyrics
I have been looking for this song for 5 years. No kidding. My head has been nearly exploding due to overthinking who made it. Only that one repeating melody through the song keept echoing in my head (for 5friggin years!). Then suddenly a few days ago some random Jamie Oliver show played it on the tv. Afterwards I was able to find the clip here on youtube. Awesome!! :D
It hurts. When I was younger I used to listen to this with my dad and sing along. Now I listen to this song and understand it

I don't even listen to the killers very much but for some reason I was humming this all day and I just had to listen to it! really good song, glad I decided to listen to it again.
This song brings me memories.. A lot of them but the one that especially gets me is when it says, 'Smile like you mean it', because it sounds like a voice in my head that comes when I feel down. But it also sounds a lot like my dad. When I was younger he'd always tell me, ''Come on, do a REAL smile. I can see that fake one. ''
I just remembered this song and im happy
to me this is about getting your heartbroken and seeing them with some one else. You act happy but it tears you apart
Don't worry discovering how good our generation now you will be proudly accepted.
My dad used to play the killers all the time when I was little and The Smiths and Guns n Roses. I am 16 now, and glad i was raised listening to this instead of KPop.

I both love and hate how this song opens the memories once forgotten. The past had more smiles than now.
honestly, people should listen to this comment, my dad used to play amaaaaazing music to me when i was in my mother's womb and when i was in my infant years, made a massive influence to my taste in music. SORRY FOR MY LIFE STORY BUT IF PEOPLE ARE GONNA HAVE A BABY DO THAT
Its actually "slide by so carelessly".....this song is very personal to me. So being the lyric gestapo, is just a thing for me. No harm intended.
I always listen to this song when I really down, which is near enough everyday .__.
this song always makes me smile 🙂
