It’s not supposed to be “just a cover.” When the Killers cover a song they keep the integrity of the original, while spicing it up with their own blend of genius. Personally, I like the Killers version more. Fiiiiiiiires me up.

i disagree with the band not being great at doing covers. they actually did a great version of “romeo and juliet.” they’re getting there.

I’m not a big fan of the Killers but I have to say that the only reason I like them has been because of their covers. The covers sound extremely better than the original. And they’re covers, of course they have to put their sound in it. Bravo!

It was okay but… I’m not sold. Lacking something. Did see the Killers play on Saturday though, and I have to admit I’m a little in love with Brandon Flowers. Was an awesome gig, better than I expected. Cheers for the Bright Eyes original.

[...] this song for their new Spaceman EP. I didn’t know this cover was happening until I saw it on PMA an hour ago. In his review, Luis (PMA’s blogmaster) said that the cover was lackluster and I [...]

It would have been a little more respectful if they had actually tried. This cover took them 30-minutes, tops. Snooze.

Lol, thanks for the love. And damn this IS nowhere near the original but give it some love. I think they did a good job, they totally transformed the track into something danceable. Keep those covers coming I’d say. I also dug the Shadowplay cover and the Girls Just Wanna Have Fun cover (even though it was in rubbish live quality).

damn.. you have to sign on to IMEEM to listen to the full version. I didn’t know that.

That’s a problem.

It wouldn’t be too crazy for me to say The Killers are one of my favorite bands.

I still don’t like it.

^Yeah I realy like it too! I was sick today and so not at school and I listened to it basically all day! I’m generally not that big a fan of synth music but I love the opening synth on this! Very addictive:)

It probably helps that the Killers are my favourite band though:D

Aw, I actually really like their version. Of course it’s not the same as Bright Eyes but that’s the point. I’ve listened to this cover a million times this weekend, it’s addicting as all hell.
