    It's not just the voice, he's singing an old rock song and keeping somewhat true to the original. It isn't just that people don't sing clear, but noticed a lot of songs these days have far to much base to them that drown out the vocals. If you listen to 90s-80s and before in Rock, you'll notice the lyrics are very clear... The singers don't need base and other instrumental to drown out either bad or lazy singing, the instrumental compliments the vocals, lol. This guy has a good voice, so was a bit surprised hearing a more modern band do this song some justice, so many remakes of songs these days are just meh....

    About 8-10 yrs ago the killers had no idea how there album should look like. There record company gave them a few samples of other recording artist, icehouse was one.

    His voice has just gotten better and better. He’s really grown into it. He’s not forcing anything anymore (some of Battle Born’s more “epic” vocalizations come to mind). It’s effortless, silky smooth, and beautiful. It’s hard to imagine this is the same guy who sang Mr. Brightside (not that it was bad, just so vastly different). This is an incredible cover.

    The singer really captured the sentiment (of that yearning we all feel when falling in love and seeing that someone and are breath just stops)in the original recording. I do miss the saxophone solo though. Love the background vocals on this cover too. A lot of people dont know this but on the original John Oates(of course from the legendary Hall & Oates) did the background vocals .
