(3.0) otaM_GZTzvA Produced by Stuart Price and Shawn Everett, Spirit is taken from the band’s greatest hits album Rebel Diamonds released in 2023. The synthesis of synth and rock-pop in the song creates an inviting aura. Also, it caters to audiences that may lie outside of the Killers usuals listeners. It failed to chart and no official music video was made for this single.

March 28, 20241 yr 'Tranquilize' is alright but it's not really classic Killers. If it didn't have Lou Reed on it, I'd probably agree.
March 28, 20241 yr Tranquilize and Spirit are my favourites to drop out so far, would definitely have both of those top 20

After meeting with Australian musician Alex Cameron in Las Vegas, he finally had a breakthrough as they kept on working together until the verse was finished. The video tells the story of a woman who tries to run away from her ex-lover, backing up the recurring abusive relationship theme of the song's lyrics.

March 29, 20241 yr Author 16. The Man Release Date: June 14, 2017 ==================== Total Points: 113.0 Average Score: 7.1 Highest Rater(s): WhoOdyssey (11.0) Lowest Rater(s): Severin (1.0) w3xcybdis1k The Man is from their fifth studio album, Wonderful Wonderful and was released as the lead single from the album. The artwork for the single features Flowers's youngest son Henry and was shot by Anton Corbijn. The song is a new wave, pop rock, disco-rock, and glam rock song written by the Killers and Jacknife Lee, the latter of whom also produced it. The track contains elements of the 1975 Kool & the Gang song Spirit Of The Boogie. Lyrically, the song is a self-reflection of Brandon Flowers' cockier early years and described by himself as a way of reconciling that wide-eyed character with the man he is now.
March 29, 20241 yr Only just catching up with this. Of that last bunch, 'Here With Me' is definitely very under-rated, I'm a sucker for a power ballad and that's up there with the best of them! 'The Man' was pretty good too, a slightly different sound but it suited them.
