April 5, 20241 yr I really like Shot At The Night... it was a great single for a best of and I'd forgotten all about M83's involvement in it until you've just reminded me
April 5, 20241 yr Author are there only tracks from the first 3 albums left at this point? That would be a bit of a giveaway wouldn’t it. :kink:
April 5, 20241 yr 'Runaways' deserved top 10 but I'm happy that at least 'Shot At The Night' made the top 10, that's SUCH a tune *.* 'Caution' and 'My Own Soul's Warning' are both great too but I'm happy with where they ended up.
April 6, 20241 yr Caution making Top 10 is great to see, I feel everyone has such great nostalgia for classic Killers songs and their newer stuff gets overlooked quite often
April 6, 20241 yr Author 8. Spaceman Release Date: November 4, 2008 ==================== Total Points: 129.0 Average Score: 8.1 Highest Rater(s): gavindeejay, One_For_Sorrow, Roba., Steve201 (10.0) Lowest Rater(s): JulianT, Severin (5.0) Hc16Y9fiCvQ The song was released as the second single from the band's third studio album Day & Age. It was was number 17 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008. The song has been used regularly as the opening song during the band's tour. The music video was directed by American director Ray Tintori, and shows Brandon Flowers walking around a party in progress, happening on a unique tiered structure adorned with long white vertical lights. Many humanoid creatures (all dressed up in very colourful, carnival-like costumes) are dancing, occasionally as a group, but usually individually. The other three band members can also be seen at the party throughout the video. As more of the structure is revealed, it can be seen that it is in the middle of a wide open space, surrounded by the camera crew filming the video. The song peaked at #40 on the UK Singles Chart.
April 6, 20241 yr Author 7. Smile Like You Mean It Release Date: March 14, 2005 ==================== Total Points: 131.5 Average Score: 8.2 Highest Rater(s): Severin (10.0) Lowest Rater(s): Roba. (5.0) ZAErD8xzjCM Originally released as a B-side of Mr. Brightside in September 2003, it is featured on their debut studio album Hot Fuss. The music video for the song shows ghostly figures of the band wandering around a house that the characters of the song presumably used to live in. While Flowers sings to the camera, flashbacks of the old house are shown behind him, including a children's party, a Christmas morning, a high school party, and a funeral. While these extras are oblivious to being watched, at the end they turn to the camera to look at the viewer while the band fades away. The song reached #11 on the UK Singles Chart.
