Love Tim Burton? Love The Killers? Me too. Dear reader, I give you...
Here With Me.
This is probably nothing new to Killers fans, but although I was aware that they had a new song out, I hadn't really heard it. And then I found out that Tim Burton had directed the video and I made a mental note to watch it as soon as possible. That was a month ago. As you may be able to guess, I only actually got round to watching the video today and BOOM. Song of the day! Sorted.
As you would probably expect from The Killers, it's kind of haunting and a little bit creepy and a little bit bitter and a lot lovely. I don't know who the lead singer of the band is (I'm too lazy to even Google it. Sorry!) but he is just asdfghjkl. Yes, asdfghjkl. Lovely! Well done, you. Congratulations on your voice.
Now, this probably doesn't count - in fact, what am I talk about, of course this counts. It's my blog, what I want to count counts - but this is partly because of the video too. Directed by Tim Burton, it was bound to be weird and wonderful and make you go "Whuuuut?". I don't really know why, but I love the video! The boy, Craig Roberts, (who isn't actually a boy at all) is just so creepy and weird and was born to be a Burton character! I actually really remember him from Tracy Beaker and Young Dracula from when I was a kid and getting a bit too old to be watching kids programs, but hey who. He's actually in some pretty big films now. Life for the the other half, ey. It also has Winona Ryder (apparently she's pretty big too? ;) ) in it so, you know. It can't be bad!
I love this song and I can't wait to get it on la Ipod and blast it in my headphones.
Favourite Lyrics :
You said "Come on baby, it'll be alright"
I must have been a fool 'till the bitter end.
Now I hold onto hope to have you back again,
I'd bargain and I'd fight,
But there's another world that you're living in tonight.
The Killers can be found on twitter at @thekillers
and Craig is here on @craigroberts10
Until tomorrow,
