Its a song about a girl's expectations from when she was young. The perfect guy, a Christian "Jesus like" person that she has been told was "the guy" she was supposed to like when she grew up. He doesnt look a thing like Jesus, but he talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined when you were young.

@preciousroihomeshoppingnet7908

I think there are two guys...one of them the "beautiful boy/perfect one" who might actually look something like Jesus in her mind, and the other one is the one she's confronted with now. And he at least ticks off the "talks like a gentleman" box off on her checklist she made when "she was young". I think this is a song about settling for reality. A loose parallel to the story of the guy who was shipwrecked and drifted along denying multiple opportunities because "his God would save him", and then he dies and St. Peter asks him why he didn't take advantage of all the opportunities God sent him to be saved. Only in this case, she's waiting for the perfect man to save her, and she might just want to settle for being saved by the man in front of her...who is at least well-spoken.

The Killers are fantastic. Even their lesser known stuff is great.

Brandon Flowers wrote this song for his grandma, about his grandma,

My only son died in 2015 at 31, he loved The Killers and we played this song and another of their songs, Smile Like You Mean It, at his funeral because they were 2 of his fave songs by them. I get a feeling of sadness, nostalgia, and love for my son every time I hear this song and Smile Like You Mean It, especially since he died so young and the lyrics to both songs give a sense of time passing and maybe leaving you behind.

For real! Honestly one of the most epic single song performances of all time. And the crowd was on fire. That show is epic.

Saw The Killers play Wembley Stadium London in 2013. Amazing concert, brilliant band.

BEST BAND EVER!!! This is one of their best songs and it is one of my favorites!

The whole discography of The Killers is a masterpiece. My workout song is " The Man"

Yes! The Killers are great!! Also check out "Mr. Brightside", "All These Things That I've Done", "Read My Mind", and "Human".

I remember playing killer albums over and over and over all day long for months playing xbox after school playing mostly medal of honor War fighter. Got really good at singing then tbh. Good days

Great band and songs. I went to their concert and they sound just as good live You probably have heard one of more of their songs in a store, at the mall, Starbucks or in a commercial, tv show or movie.

Sam’s Town is such a great album!

This some is good to play next to Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run. You can definitely see the influence.

I love his vocals ! My favorite song by them is Here with me. Ahhhh I just love it

Any guitar hero or rock band players, can't remember which it was on. But we all know we played this a hundred times.

You need to seriously watch the official video for this song . It is heart breakingly beautiful… and it explains the song so well.

Mastodon easily for me but they’re way heavier than the bands you listed.

They’re explaining this song on the Netflix show song exploder btw :)

Omg I love Lex’s descriptions sooo much! I’ve started coming more for them. Like her “Granny Smith apple juice” and her Franz Ferdinand “truffle oil” examples. So perfect 😆

These guys had Glastonbury singing along ,during the day, in a second stage tent! Even the people outside😜

The video for this song is very good, watch it sometimes. One of the great modern alternative and indie bands out there right now, they have post-punk, dance-punk/new wave, synths influences from past groups like U2, Duran Duran, The Cure, The Cars, The Smiths, Devo. Many great songs and videos from them like "Mr. Brightside", "Somebody Told Me", "Smile Like You Mean It, "Just Another Girl".

One of their big influences is Duran Duran (going into the RRHOF this year). Anything off the Rio album is amazing because that whole album is amazing. Or something more current like The Man Who Stole A Leopard. Duran has pretty much covered every genre except country.

You may have heard it on Rock Band. It was a song that was usually paired with Learn to Fly by the Foo Fighters on the original Rock Band.

Ahhhhh, I LOVE these guys and this song ❤️

Sam's Town is a great album. I like almost every song on it. Maybe it's my age but this stuff is my jam.

My favorite of theirs so far. Irresistible, anthemic. What's it mean? 🤔 What's it matter? It stomps all over reason. Dances off to some unimaginable appointment. Drinking crabapple cider 😋 😜 🍏

Granny Smith apples 😂 Lex's descriptions are classic

This album from start to finish is a must!!! So this is a concept album, so it makes more sense as a whole...

I forgot how much I love this song! Just amazing! 👏🏻👏🏻❤️

Yayyy. I am so happy you did some Killers, my favorite band. Please check out more, some have already been mentioned, but I would like to add Dustland Fairytale (song about his parents and his mom dealing with cancer), Caution, Dying Breed, Spaceman, and Read My Mind

Everything said down here is perfectly true - just want to add their very last release,Pressure Machine, is amazing! A poetic, personal concept album that deserves a full listen. The song Quiet Town is so heartbreaking

The Killers carved a path to success with their amazing lead singer and musical talent. Somebody told me was there debut song. Check it out 👍

I will watch, like, and comment on every Killers video you guys make! Love these guys!

"But more than you'll ever know" This last line in the song is what gives it context imo. I hear this as a song about settling.

When we were young live at the MTV awards Axl said they were his favorite new band at the time

Joy Division, Siouxee and the Banshees, Gang of Four and U2 influenced a lot of good '90s and '00s post punk, dance rock groups like The Killers, The Strokes, Muse, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Interpol, Bloc Party, Arcade Fire, Franz Ferdinand, Metric, etc. 🎸

Read My Mind is still the best song I;ve heard by any band. Killers have some absolute bangers and songs that grew on me over the years like Miss Atomic Bomb... I could listen to that on repeat for days... Lately, the title track of the Pressure machine album is a bonafide classic

Lollapalooza same day The Killers and NIN headlined so I did first half NIN last half The Killers and my family still gives me ahit for it no regrets seeing this live

🎶THE KILLERS ~ SMILE LIKE YOU MEAN IT🎶

Brad I imagine you would of heard a lot of these 2000s tracks on film soundtracks. American pie dude where's my car road trip style films loved these tunes.

Back when this came out I worked at Urban Outfitters and my manager played this album every single day on repeat. I will always remember this song playing as I cleaned out fitting rooms 😂

It was on Guitar Hero!! The first album by The Killers was amazing, not one bad song!

I absolutely love The Killers! Any thing from Hot Fuss is fire but there are great songs on all of their albums. Brad likes Guitar Hero and this song makes an appearance in I believe Guitar Hero 3. I think what originally drew me to the Killers was their music had the sound of the 80s synth to me and the 80s are my favorite decade of music.

Brandon Flowers is highly influenced by Robert Smith of The Cure and it's reflected in his vocal style..

The killers in ~2008 sounded like Bruce Springsteen or U2 in 1988. Kinda cool band. Maybe the last true rock band.

The video helps alot. The killers have been my favorite band for so long. Twenty one pilots has been the only band since then I love as much. Sooooo many good song. Hey Johnny, All the thing we have done, Sam's town( song not album lol) midnight show. Great way to start my morning today, thanks for that

A great song from the Killers is “Sam’s Town” live from Royal Albert Hall .

Ah the killers..... such a good time back in this era..... lots of good guitar rock bands like this....

This song was in one of the Guitar Hero games. I think I remember you mentioning that you played that, so maybe that's why it sounds so familiar.

I love watching you guys listening to music!

The killers are GOATED

First Guitar Hero song I ever mastered on expert. The good old days

Love The Killers. The first album was their 80s album, and this was their Bruce Springsteen album. lol

search 'killers when you were young letterman' or 'killers when you were young british awards' on here to see amazing live versions of this from when it was - young. 06ish. also has a beautiful music video, a whole story set in mexico w actors and so on. very emotional. killers have a bunch of great songs but i'd also recommend first of all Read My Mind and All These Things That I've Done. Along w Muse, Modest Mouse, etc the Killers are probably one of the best few bands post-2000.

also i think it's a credit to their weird lyrics that the girl who never listens to the lyrics or cares what the song means wanted to know what the song meant. some killers songs have direct meanings, others are more poetic and elusive/allusive. All These Things and Read My Mind are more like this, cryptic meaning, good weird bad poetry lyrics, good emotion. hard to pin down.

Read my Mind is probably their best song.

Brad probably played this on Guitar Heroes III. I liked playing this one

Best song is by far "All these things I have done"...it should be on every motivational/workout playlist.

The Killers are amazing live 🔥

Just watched you Hall and Oates She's Gone. The #1 duo of all time. also Daryl Hall had a show and all kinds of musicians come and they all jam together, very cool.

this was a guitar hero song as well, if you ever played that, you might of heard this one

GUITAR HERO blessed me with this classic at a young age

Brad you might have originally heard this song on Guitar Hero! I know this was one of my go to songs on GH3🎸🎸🎸 Lots of great music from this band👍

The Killers music to me always sounded a lot older than it actually was, like it should be played alongside Kansas, Rush, or some other music from that era.

Brad you had a little sway going my man. The Killers do that too ya. I am 60 and the Killers hit that right nerve. Wish i could remember the show a few years back but the tequila would not let me. Seriously i hit the turf lol. Less learned dont drink with your daughter. Good times great pop band.

“All These Things That I Have Done” is the one to listen to next by them! Please, and thank you! ❤️

Gotta see this LIVE!

Huge band period

This is one of my favorite two Killers songs. The other, which sounds completely different, is "The Man", which I'd love for you two to react to!

Great reactions, love your vids

Brad knows this one from playing Rock Band.

What I would give to hear this song for the first time again

First heard this song while playing Guitar Hero. It's a great song.

Love this band. Runaways is a nother great song by them.

Sam's Town is one of the greatest rock albums ever recorded.

Brad played Guitar Hero for sure that's where he knows these songs from and why he's finding them familiar hahaha what a game by the way

Going to college in early 2000s and bunion to the killers must have been epic

Honestly, the whole album this is from is absolute fire! I know everyone loves Mr Brightside, but listen to Sams Town, it’s amazing!

"All These Things That I Have Done."

Everything they do is awesome even the lesser known songs are amazing like dustland fairytale,sweet talk, shadow play, tranquilize etc

This was on guitar hero as well, so I think that's where you know it from.

Love the Killers. If you like this, try out Gaslight Anthem - Boxer. Great band too.

I think its about a girl who has this fantasy of being loved by the perfect guy. Then a guy comes and he is not perfect. He might even be pretty flawed. She sees past his faults and gives him a chance and he tries to prove his love to her. All that about devils water is about surrendering to temptation and giving him a chance, climbing the mountain is all the obstacles in their journey; its all a love story. It has a very nostalgic sound to me too, like a lover you lost but still want to be doing well in life.

One of the best live bands I've ever seen!

This song makes me miss Las Vegas ❤️
