Stars are blazing like rebel diamonds , cut out from the sun.....

“Woman open that door don’t let it sting , I wanna breathe that fire again “ WOW

I love that Brandon sounds exacly the same live as he does recorded. He has such a unique voice! Love,Love,Love him and Love The Killers!

26 years old and lonely af. thank you the killers for keeping me company after all these years. ❤️

I discovered this video a couple of years ago. I was going through a very fucking dark time, the worst year in my life. I remember it was like 6AM and I stumbled into my room with half a bottle of Jack and just put on an indie rock playlist, and was gonna smoke ciggies and drink myself to sleep. But then this song came on, and for the first time in a long time I smiled. So cheers Brandan for helping me out of a bad time

I took my 15-year-old daughter to see The Killers last December. We've been through a lot together, and it's rare for her to be in a good place where she just feels good. It was her first 'real' concert, in the mosh pit, surrounded by fans, hand in hand with her Mum as we sang along with the crowd - the line 'cause I don't shine if you don't shine' hits so deep for us both, and has become our personal mantra. I love this band so much ♥

one of the best songs ever written,,,,,no other way to put it!!!!

He’s literally a normal guy, a parent, a son and a husband, he’s so humble and down to earth, not letting the fame get to him, it’s one of the many things i love about The Killers!

Brandon Flowers seems like a very genuine person. He has a wholesome air and a humbleness that shines through in his demeanor and music. He's real refreshing, he's a rock-star but a stable family man.

You can see Brandon is emotional attached to this song from his past experiences because he still sings this song like he just wrote it the other day

look at this angel in an angel sweater with his angel face and his angel voice

Okay Brandon. We're gonna need you to release a full acoustic album and tour again with this amazing band. This is too good.

Seriously, can we talk about those backing singers.

This is 7 years old & I've only just found it! Pure magic ❤️ x

This is so beautiful. There are five angels on stage here. The female backup singers are such a nice touch. Brandon Flowers is one of our consummate contemporary composers and cantantes. This is something like a perfect piece of music.

That’s one of the best unplugged performances I’ve ever seen. His vocals are incredible. Great song, Springsteen would be proud of it.

On the corner of main street Just tryin' to keep it in line You say you wanna move on, and You say I'm falling behind Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind? I never really gave up on Breakin' out of this two-star town I got the green light I got a little fight I'm gonna turn this thing around Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind? The good old days, the honest man The restless heart, the Promised Land A subtle kiss that no one sees A broken wrist and a big trapeze Oh well, I don't mind, you don't mind Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Before you go, can you read my mind? It's funny how you just break down Waiting on some sign I pull up to the front of your driveway With magic soaking my spine Can you read my mind? Can you read my mind? The teenage queen, the loaded gun The drop dead dream, the Chosen One A southern drawl, the world unseen A city wall and a trampoline Oh well, I don't mind, you don't mind 'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Before you jump Tell me what you find When you read my mind Slipping in my faith until I fall He never returned that call Woman, open the door, don't let it sting I wanna breathe that fire again She said, I don't mind, you don't mind Cause I don't shine if you don't shine Put your back on me Put your back on me Put your back on me The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds cut out of the sun When you read my mind

Brandon Flowers makes me lose my shit.

This song, specifically, this version, is my happy place.

Such a Masterpiece! Leaving a comment to come back when I get a notification. Music are for moments!

Physically, Flowers often looks almost ... childishly ... awkward performing in a studio setting. But he is built to crush stadiums, yet its this video here, that brings me almost to tears. A modern day band that will leave a legacy like the big name bands of yesteryear no doubt !

how can I not comment....This is haunting. How I understand and interpret thid song in a way that is so thought provoking. And.......BF voice. I'v heard him say he was never a singer before...So grateful you discovered your voice Brandon and contiunue to cultivate that gift. We are the recipiants of your soul and voice. The lyrics say it all. You really want us to have an experience that you know only yu can deliver.

I'm in my 40s and I am back in school. I listen to this song before closing my computer most nights. It is unbelievably comforting during this uncertain time. I am scared to start over, but this song makes me feel like it is okay to take a chance. Luckily, I have a very understanding and patient husband. "Put your back on me" makes me cry. 3:43 I hope everyone has someone who has their back.

You don't know love until you feel that calm glow of them and then your heart gets squeezed just enough to hurt. Yet it's still pleasant. And you're excited, and scared. And really, really scared about leaving; more scared of it than dying because you have to live without them, and you don't even want to fathom you minus them. How can you pick up the pieces if they took them with them? That's what this song is about. Nothing would separate them from you because of your love. We must believe that to be true to be with someone. It's not always true. Some people are meant to leave because of some reason. Maybe they never loved you, but more likely was it was hard enough on them, or they weren't no good and they should have gone. And maybe you should have known they were no good for you. Some people are scarred from people leaving or abusing them and making them leave. I think that heals, but it takes time, and more than not leaving. My boyfriend was in a hard spot recently, he told me to leave, because 'everybody does'. Nobody else wants to make the sacrifices necessary to help him, to really be there. Because it's really hard, and there's little for you specifically to gain; it's not about you. Lots of risk to yourself personal and risk of failure. Maybe I'm wrong and I can't help. I considered it as he asked me to. Weighed it like the Egyptians. I guess maybe what you won't do gets pretty extreme because of love, because I was running scenarios where terrible things befell me and thinking, yeah, I could do that for him. I refused. I want to try. I knew he thought giving up hope would be easier because it meant he could give up, he wouldn't have to try for my sake. Throwing that away throws everything away, bad and good. I have been trying since this, even more than when I thought I was doing everything I could and it was tearing me apart, tearing us apart. My job now is not to make it better, as I should have known was his, but to be there. I got what he said. I had thought I did but I really did get it. Carry the weight when it's too heavy, holding his hand and listening, no pushing, not leaning too much. And now that he's taking getting better seriously consistently, and stopped trying to hide when it wasn't, it seems to be working. I knew I couldn't watch whatever happened knowing I could be there for him when nobody was, knowing he could leave ME and leave a lot of effort 'wasted', knew full well just how easy it wouldn't be, and goddamn terrified of having what I wanted, everything being good, and feeling secure and having it ripped away from me. Or being forced to choose between him and where I wanted to be and wanted to do... but completely willing to bet on being happy whatever happens with him. I knew I loved him when I thought of how often that hard heart squeeze would happen with no glow if I chose the 'easy' way and bad things happened. It wouldn't be my fault, since he asked me to go, though it was my choice to prove him right, but I know it would feel like my fault and I would be miserable. Watching from afar, helpless. And I would be watching because I do love him. God, physically holding his hand has been so, so important to me. When he told me to leave I was so scared he wouldn't take it. I'm glad I didn't assume he would make me go whether I wanted to or not, or that he wouldn't take my hand when I told him it would be okay (again). He's so special. Oh, I can't even describe it. I've never met anyone so incapable of ever looking down on me, as people seem to tend to do... the way he pulls me closer half asleep if I have a nightmare. I understand him more than anyone and he understands me and that is something to be treasured. So many things that you know you don't want to let go, even with everyone you know telling you that you should try; somebody else may be good, ' ' better ' ', but everything inside you screams at the thought. Some things that language was not made to describe. Like his smile or the tinkle in his laugh, it's like a breath of life. It's so nice to love and be loved that it crushes, you realize hard things can be beautiful, and you're willing to fly close to the sun. You can take a little risk if you put your back on them. Of course, if they choose them over you, they take along fewer pieces and it isn't quite so hard to put yourself back together (though it doesn't seem to make you forget about the good times), which is good for Brandon. Imagine if some girl tried to take most of the good bits. Hmpf.

HIS VOICE HERE IS BETTER THAN IT WAS IN THE STUDIO VERSION

Best acoustic recording of anything ever. Full stop. This floors me every time I hear it. Brandon at his platinum finest. Flawless and heart wrenching ❤️⚡

Why am I just now finding this, this is golden 💕

Makes me think of my son, Tommy, who loved The Killers.

Coolest fucking rockstar of all time. Legend

Now the back up vocals is something

Just realized I've been watching this video--featuring the best male vocalist and one of the greatest songs of the century--every few months for the last five years. See ya again in another few months.

i wanna breathe that fire again

Choruses and songs in general don't get much better than this lyrically.

I've listened to this about 60 times this week. Amazing version.

Pull up to your driveway, with magic soaking my spine....🎶 WOOHOO

Awesome song and awesome voice. Going to Lollapalooza 2018 to see Killers. Dream come True!!

"magic soaking my spine".... Yep I got the spine goosebumps listening to this.

I can't stop listening to this. I need help.

Fui a um festival que o The Killers era uma das bandas a cantar, eu não os conhecia, e fiquei apaixonada, o Brandon tem uma presença de palco que me encantou! 👏👏👏

I had never experienced liking a cover more than a song I already knew and really liked. Up until now, I loved it. Thank you for sharing your art.

I drink this in. It's so incredibly beautiful.❤️ Brandon.🥰

After so many years, this song still breaks me! Brandon's voice is perfect ❤️

HOLY SHIT BEAUTIFUL! I have always loved the killers have not seen this and it re affirms that they are one of the greats

I’ve known his voice for a long time.. and yet every time I am amazed by its beauty🖤

These acoustic videos of him singing killers songs should be illegal. I'm literally dying

acoustic instrumentals enhance an underrated vocalist in the history of music. Maybe being underrated is a blessing for him. Some of the time vibrations of the human voice invoke a connection in us as human and as dancers.

The lady on the very left's hoop earrings are my spirit animal.

I love the striped shirt. Reminds of one I used to wear a long time ago in a lifetime far away...

This made me tear up abit. My favourite Killers song played acoustic. It sounded great.

This song just gives me such a beautifull feeling of calmness, neither happy or sad, just calm and content. Love that feeling. thank you for that killers.

I'm sitting here smoking weed 3 am NZ time 29 years old holding back the tears. This is one of my favourite songs ever. Best version ever . Makes me hopeful for the future and reminiscing on what was at the same time. 2022. Totally wasted.

Miss u guys together... I hope The Killers never ends, S2. Everything happens for a reason, even the bad things. Sometimes you just need to see the glass as half full, rather than half empty, to be able to achieve something greater. Nothing happens by the chance.

This was the most beautiful thing i have ever heard in my life. Its been my fave song since 2007 and this version has me crying. Even if its 70 years away, this will be played at my funeral

I love this. When you strip away the rock productions of killers albums (which I love), they are basically country songs. He’s such a great vocalist

the back up singers are quite impressive. damn brandon never gets old

When I feel down, I sing along with the lovely backing singers and it lifts me up.

It's annoying that you can only like this once.

I don't know why but every time I heard the backup singers it just feels like I am enter to heaven and angels are waving at me

Jaw dropping version. Unbelievable !

That's real rock n roll lyrics. They don't mean a thing to anyone except the writer. Then one day they mean everything to somebody.

I've just seen this for the first time. Left me tearful and emotional. What a beautiful song and man. 😍

So if anyone has depression, really listen to the lyrics. This hits so close to home. So many times, I think, “I’m going to turn this around, can you read my mind?”

Absolutely beautiful.

Fuckin mint!!!!

I really really really really really love this band

i got the privilege to see Brandon Flowers a couple weeks ago and I must say that he is an outstanding performer. Brandon sounds amazing on his records and live. Talent just radiates off of this man once he hits the stage and puts his all into every song. I would give anything to see Brandon perform again and again. This version of Read My Mind is truly amazing.

THE VOICE, THE MEN, LOVE BRANDON

This was our wedding song

Those backing singers have such a heavenly voice 😍

Top notch, beautiful composition, one of the few singers who has come out of the 'modern generation' who can create and has a real voice, love it.

The back up singers and pure amazing there voices our amazing

I know the killers are a huge band but I feel like in a lot of ways they don’t get enough credit. This song is up there with Dylan and Springsteen stuff, plus he’s an actual good singer. I’ve always loved the killers lyrics they’re far from the filler refrigerator poetry of their era of indie rock, I feel like they’re very evocative and paint vivid emotional pictures, and like I said they wrote amazing ear worm melodies both instrumentally and vocally. I think Brandon is just a great vocalist. This was amazing.

I have no clue what I'd do if I get the opportunity to watch the killers live. I am crying while watching it on my PC

Beautiful voice! Please sing more of these! ❤❤❤❤

What a Tunee not many like this I always try An read my mind so much I insomnia myself this Tunee reminds me of the day I made up my mind saved me this Tunee

Bless the universe my dear God. I'm yours. May peace rule the universe and all the damage souls transform. Enough violence!!! Woman you are a warrior fight till the end!!!! You CAN!!! Believe in yourself.

Like a slice of paradise, hearing that voice.

Sometimes when I’m sad I wake up and listen to this song... and makes me remeber that I have had a good life, full of Love and friendship and The Killers 🥰🤩

The man sings with soul and passion - Doesn't just go thru the motions like its a job. Respect.

First time I'm hearing this version, made me cry.

To the 289 people who've disliked this video what on earth possessed you dislike an absolutely beautiful flawless performance of an incredible song ?

The voice of this man is so unique 💗

Damn I love this so much.

Coming back here 2020 for a pick me up. Such a beautiful song. Life is short people, let’s enjoy the beauty this world has to offer.

I love Flowers much more in his solo vibe, this is his purest form.

I watch this a couple of times every week since like a year ago. I just can't stop. I love Brandon's voice so much

i wish i could have been in middle school forever so me and my crush could listen to the killers forever like we always did

Take heartland rock, make it acoustic, and all of a sudden you've got yourself some country music

Perfect! Great job on guitar boys! Beautiful girls!! Brandon = total stud!!! Killers live must be on every music lovers bucket list....

This song is so special to me but this version is just... I can't describe it with words, i love the lyrics of this song and yes, this is by far the best song they have written

Holy fuck his voice, absolutely STUNNING! the name "The Killers" sums Brandon's voice up superbly

The moon is bright tonight

This song takes me back to when I was getting kicked out of my apartment and the love of my life broke my heart. But still, a bitter sweet feeling it is.. so so so much love fornthis humble man and this amazing band. 🖤

get back here ini 2020 just to watch his awesomenesses this show is bery precioustic

I cried so hard listening to this, I love Brandon so much. I will forever cherish the 2 set lists I own from Leeds Festival 2008 when they headlined and also the one from the royal albert hall when they did their live DVD back in 2012 I believe

Absolutly LOVE LOVE LOVE Brandon Flowers and the killers.

The greatest break up song ever written in my opinion. Like I can listen to this song and actually be okay that me and my girl on 5 years broke up... It's been already a year and I'm actually okay with her leaving thanks to this song

Don't see any props to the backup singers, so here it is. They've really accentuated an old Killers classic here.

Best voice in the business and only got better with age

Hey sweet baby, why don't you perform at my wedding and while you're at it, marry me. 😍
