About The Killers:
The Killers are a Las Vegas-based four-piece who formed in 2003, featuring the talents of singer/keyboardist Brandon Flowers, drummer Ronnie Vanucci, guitarist Dave Keuning and bassist Mark Stoermer. The band has received countless accolades for their artistic achievement, including multiple Grammy nominations, American Music Award nominations, MTV Video Music Awards, NME Awards and more.Their first album, Hot Fuss, was released in 2004 to worldwide acclaim.The album contained the singles “Mr. Brightside” and “Somebody Told Me,” in addition to the anthemic song “All These Things That I’ve Done,” which has since been referenced by the likes of U2 and Coldplay.The band toured for two years straight behind Hot Fuss, playing more than four-hundred shows, and eventually returned to Vegas to begin to work on the follow-up album with legendary producers Alan Moulder and Flood.The result, a love letter of sorts to their hometown entitled Sam’s Town, was released in 2006 and spent forty-two weeks on the Billboard Top 200.A b-sides collection entitled Sawdust was released in 2007, followed by their third studio album, Day & Age, which was released to widespread critical praise in 2008, anchored by massive single “Human.”The Killers released Battle Bornin September 2012, which saw them expanding their world tour into countries they’ve never visited before, and finally were honored to perform at the world-renowned Wembley Arena, one of the most monumental and significant shows of their career.After a decade of making music, in November 2013, The Killers released a “Best Of” collection, Direct Hits, which featured two incredible new songs alongside classics from the band’s revered catalogue.The band, who have sold over twenty-five million albums worldwide, and headlined all of the world’s top festivals (Coachella, Lollapalooza, Glastonbury), released their newest studio album, Wonderful Wonderful, in September 2017, where it landed at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 chart the week of its release, as well a stopping the charts in the U.K. and Australia. The album is the band’s fifth consecutive number one in the U.K., and Brandon Flowers’ seventh U.K. number one overall.

Merry Christmas folks. I come back to this every year, and don't plan on stopping
Still here in 2024.
"we understand you staying and we're proud of you" is such a powerful line.
I think alot of people can relate to the idea of this song.
zura iashvili Yeah man :) its a beautiful song
I cry every time. Anyone who is pursuing their dreams understands the tenacity it takes and appreciates those who don't really get it but are still supportive.
Relatable af. The songwriting here it's phenomenal.
Every year for the past 22 years. 🎄💔
I propose every year on Christmas, we all meet here on this video. Who's in?
Why not?
Im in brothers and sisters, i love this song, its so sad that isn't in Spotify
I’m in see you next year
See you next year mah doods
@@lup3ortiz649 sounds good Coach Steve *arm stretch*
“Who do you think you’re foolin’ man, of course she did.” So good.
The best part of this is that you really can't tell if Owen's character has made it as a successful actor. For all anyone knows half of Hollywood is as lonely as he is shown to be here. Christmas is quiet in Los Angeles. No snow so there is no push to be inside with your family. I spent my Christmases at the beach or at the movies. Successful millionaires with kids or not, loneliness is loneliness. And the hot chocolate really exemplifies what it's about when you're lonely... the little things, the cute comforts. This video captured it all so beautifully.
amen!
+onegirlrev
Well said!
We all feel loneliness differently, but this video sums it up so well.
i live in a country where never snows and thats doesnt stop anyone to see their fams
i iived in san diego looking for christmas cheer 20 yrs ago and i know its not LA but its just not the same as where i'm from in VA
It's funny I'm from la and christmas always felt like christmas but that's cause its home. It's not the place it's just whether your home or not.
Back again for another Christmas with The Killers. This has become my favorite of their Christmas tunes.
This song gets better and better every year.
From someone who moved away from a small town to a bigger city, this song is perfection. Your parents are proud, but the climb is such a struggle. To be a thousand miles from your family trying to figure out who you are and what you want to be with no support system is a struggle. But as always, the killers get it
Is anyone back here this year? I love this song so much. A Christmas regular for me. God bless you all x
I think everyone is here for that same reason:) well at least i am such a beautiful song makes me feel nostalgia and i dont even live in LA
This is one of not many Christmas songs that expresses loneliness during Christmas time. This makes this song different and I like it a lot.
Not everyone gets to be with their families during the Christmas season :(
If you'd rather avoid your family during Christmas because of dysfunction, alcoholism, mental illness, are you not lonelier?
For me, this song is as integral to Christmas as turkey, crackers and German markets.
Every Christmas season..i listen to The Killer's Christmas songs.
I come here every christmas evening just to remember how far I have traveled in my life and how much people I have met on my way. This song is my safe place and it will ever be. Merry Christmas and remember that you'll find your way no matter how hard things get
I feel exactly the same ❤
The same here, merry xmas to everyone!
Merry Christmas, all year round.
Merry Christmas, just jumping into January ❤️❤️❤️
tks
I don’t think there’s a lot of people listening to this album all the way here in 2024’s Christmas but they should
🙋🏼♂️
The Killers should do a whole album with Dawes! Their styles mesh well.
I love The Killers Christmas songs. And I love the voice of Brandon, always adapts perfectly to any type of song ♥
I’ve only just discovered this gorgeous Christmas song and now wondering how it’s gone under the radar and not played in the UK 🤷🏼♂️
Just found this & been a Killers fan for at least 15 years.
Owen Wilson is pretty damn good in melanchonic roles! Thumb up for him!
It's a shame he doesn't do more serious roles. I find him to be a very capable dramatic actor.
Wow
Owen Wilson and the Killers! Excellent combination. Truly excellent song.
I kind of wish it would've been old Owen Wilson at the end leaving the bar with a younger actor trying to talk with him, because that's life. People are replaced, so spend time with the ones you love now, before they're gone.
Merry Christmas 2024 you heartbroken kids. It might not be okay but Christ loves us and has heaven prepared for all of us
Rest in Peace Harry Dean. You'll be missed.
I listened to this song many times some years ago and I realized that you can feel yourself lonely even if you have lots of people around you. This song has this meaning to me.
Merry Christmas
It's become a tradition that the Killers release a Christmas song
So beautiful.
Also, all the best to Owen. Good to see him happy and doing better these days.
Yeah was nice of the Killers to give an unknown actor a big break like this.
Hansel's so hot right now.
November 2024…first time hearing this. Such a great song.
I just love Harry Dean and Owen Wilson. They are just perfect.
11 years in a row… this is my Christmas song for lifetime…
the pressure always come from within
dear lord it's so sad knowing theres no possible way that this year's song could be better than this one.
oh but it isssss
The new one is class. Joel the lump of coal :)
I have to agree with this, actually. It's a great song in general.
and here in the UK its raining.
Strange it never rains here...

The Killers carry on their Christmas tradition in some style. Great Christmas tune, full of melancholy... Love it
Perfect Christmas song. Thank you Brandon, Dave, Ronnie and Mark I love you guys.
More Dawes/Killers collaborations please!
Hold me tighter Carmelita, with Warren Zevon sat in the back of the church… fantastic.
Owen Wilson has been a refreshing light in the scene of comedy actors, i love it how he does it.
Corrected lyrics
(Intro)
"Excuse me Harry Dean? Can I ask you a question?"
"No."
"Do you have any advice for somebody trying to make it?"
(laughs) "Oh boy."
"You know somebody trying to break into acting."
"Do nothing."
"Do nothing?"
"Nothing."
"Why?"
"Why not?"
"I feel like I've been doing nothing and that hasn't gotten me anywhere."
"Well then you're in a great place then. You're nothing."
"I'm nothing?
"Yeah. I'm nothing. There is nothing."
"What's the point, then?"
"None. Simple, huh?"
"It kinda takes the pressure off."
"All of it."
(Music)
Woke up to sun streaming in my room
One beach front palm December afternoon
You close your eyes another year blows by
Somewhere in the wind of just another life
My parents sent a Christmas card and tennis shoes
"We understand you staying and we're proud of you."
There's a well rehearsed disinterest in the atmosphere
I don't know if that's what this town gave me
Or if it led me here
And I've played so many parts
I don't know which one's really me
Don't know if I can take
Another Christmas in LA
Another pitcher of Sangria in an empty beach cafe
Another Christmas in LA
Hold me tighter Carmelita
I don't know how long I can stay
Left a girl behind in my old man's truck
Sometimes I wonder where she ended up
Maybe she got married
Had a couple of kids
Who do you think you're fooling man?
Of course she did
I'm walking in Ventanas bar
Trying to talk with Harry Dean
I don't know if I can take
Another Christmas in LA
Another casting call on Thursday for a job that doesn't pay
Another Christmas in LA
Another burn out in a tak top who seems to bask in his decay
A fat protagonist in flip flops with an extensive resume
From Echo Park to Catalina
Dreaming of a white Christmas
The one I used to know
Treetops glisten children listen
To sleighbells in the snow
Another Christmas in LA
I've played so many parts i don't know which ones really me. Hits you different tye older you get.
I don't know why this song isn't as popular as the others, this is one of my all time favorites
Just getting round to messaging everyone. Merry Christmas, see you next year ❤️❤️
My 6th year coming back to this video every Christmas season
Kan ngaithla leh nge nge zel e😅
@ramsiamakhawlhring4335 Ka la ngaithla e keipawh, Merry Christmas aw
Come to Utah and spend Christmas with me Owen.............you will never be lonely. wwwhhhooooooaaaaaaahhhhhhhoooooooooooooooo Fuckin Owen yeah!!!!
This is my favorite Christmas song. And yes, I’m listening early.
This is brilliant. I bet owen loved the song idea since he's such a lovely melancholy man. The warren zevon reference and musical nod is choice as well. Thank you for another holiday gem.
Top-class songwriting on this one.
this song is so relatable yet it has nothing to do with me
Here for it again! From Ann Arbor this time around.
I spent 5 years in San Antonio, all by myself without my family or any friends really. This is basically what Christmas felt like every year. Even though I'm not alone anymore, I still remember how much sadness this time of the year would carry with it.
Merry Christmas everyone!
The Killers + Owen Wilson =
wonderful X-mas song
Woke up, the sun streaming in my room
Warm beach from palm December afternoon
You close your eyes
Another year blows by
Somewhere in the wind
Just another life
My parents sent a Christmas card and then it’s true
We understand you’re staying
And we’re proud of you
There’s a well-rehearsed disinterest in the atmosphere
I don’t know if that’s what this time gave me
Or if it lead me here
And I played so many parts
I don’t know which one’s really me
Don’t know if I can take
Another Christmas in L.A.
Another pitcher of Sangria
In an empty beach café
Another Christmas in L.A.
Hold me tighter Carmelita
I don’t know how long I can stay
Left a girl behind in my old man’s truck
Sometimes I wonder where she ended up
Maybe she got married, had a couple of kids
Who do you think you’re fooling man?
Of course she did
I’m walking in that tennis bar
Try and talk with Harry Bean
I don’t know if I can take
Another Christmas in L.A.
Another casting call on Thursday
For a job that doesn’t pay
Another Christmas in L.A.
Another burnout in a tank top
It seems your basket is the case
A fat protagonist in flip flops
With an extensive resume
From Echo Park to Catalina
Dreaming of a white Christmas
The one I used to know
Tree tops glisten, children listen
To sleigh bells in the snow
Another Christmas in L.A...
It's Dan Tanas bar to try to talk to Harry Dean. Harry Dean Stanton's favorite hang out was Dan Tanas. You will find videos of him at the West Hollywood hangout if you search for it. He was a terrific actor we lost last year.
I wouldn't trust everything you find on the internet...
Rest in Peace, Harry Dean Stanton.
This song kills me every xmas but I love it . I come from a warm country (moved with my partner to the dark cold europe) .So me and him will always feel the loneliness shown in this song not being with our families :( . When I listen to this song I feel my feelings are being heard, that's why I love it. It makes me sad sometimes but at least gives me some comfort :)
Como todos los años 😁
another Christmas song, thanks The Killers!!
Hello you stranger,
Have a lovely Christmas!
Josue Calle Right back at ya stranger! Merry Christmas from the UK!
Merry Christmas from India mate..
1:55 owen wilson became too expensive so they decided to animate him instead
Lmfao
+noodlefire64 also saved on the budget for the scene where he sees all the copies of himself on the street.
+noodlefire64 LOL
or they just needed acting in that part
WOW
the killers + owen wilson + christmas = ♥
Love the Warren Zevon reference in the song and video.. great song!
That's what brought me here. I'm a huge zevon fan and one of my friends told me about this
I caught Carmelita, we’re there any other ones
@@Y0urMisterDirty Rosarita beach cafè is kinda quoted in the lyrics (and there are multiple references to Carmelita); plus, in the church bit of the clip, Warren is sitting behind Owen Wilson
@@salvocaccamo8089 I never noticed that. That is genius.
Animated Warren Zevon cameo! Love it❣️
There's no christmas without The Killers
Lonely Christmas 2023
I was going to listen to the Vulpeck song, but then clicked this. Now I'm crying.
+VendibleUser same. here.
+VendibleUser me too
crying is babies and dumb bitches
Zintendo and you
*VulFpeck.
2 years later and Dawes is one of my favorite bands ALMOST even with the Killers. Very underrated.
Songs like this makes you nostalgic for places you've never been to. I've never been to LA, let alone to a proper beach, never drank Sangria, nor have I even talked to a person named Carmelita. And even chronologically speaking, there are 5 more months for Christmas. 😅
So, was it relatable? Definitely not. Does it refresh you, or calm you in any way? Surprisingly no, contrarily to it, it makes me all the more uncertain.😅 Was it worth it? Yes. Yes. Yes.
My second favourite Christmas song of all time.
''Another pitcher of Sangria
In an empty beach café''
That part sound so amazing....:D
incredible lyrics and melody - captured it totally
my life is basically a cycle of 11 months sitting and waiting for the month I can listen to this song nonstop
Who is listening on November 2019
Meeeeeee ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Me! I only discovered this song at Christmas 2018; I've been watching this video all year...
👍
Dec here. Stuck in a foreign land during Christmas this yr 😥
I'm listening in December mate now bore off!
I just can't stop listening to this song.
I really don't now why, that song makes me cry every single year... but I still love it so much
me too. every year
Ohh, hello again...
And again!
If you're a true Killers fan then you understand that not every phase is gonna be your favorite. Stop hating. Where they are now is the result of a journey, which is beyond respectable. They're a diverse group. They're not gonna spit out the same stuff from ten years ago. Get over it.

That's odd, 'cause I *least prefer* I Feel it in My Bones, and really like LA / Joseph / Boots.
But still, the "bad santa" songs are really funny. :-)
Listen to this every year but this one I actually feel like this... great song. Now for some Warren Zevon
Esto me pareció una canción de navidad especial para los Latinos, que pasan una navidad con muchísimo calor. Nice VIdeo, Greetings from Paraguay!
I lived in LA for 20 years and almost every xmas there felt like this.
This is simply the greatest Christmas song ever written
It’s good but don’t be ridiculous.
Merry Christmas everyone
Rip Harry Dean every year you tell me to do nothing
The only Christmas songs that I listen to (& all year around) thank you guys looking forward to the 2015 one! Actually makes me want to spend a christmas in LA..
+OnCam31 and your/ours wish came true!
awesome man thanks for the heads up, its a great track for 2015
Go check your ears babe
My favourite Christmas song
Half an hour till Christmas where I live. It's great how fast life starts going, it has its pros and cons. It's so easy to look at where you will be or where you have been and forget where you are. You get knocked, but you get up again! Keep on everbody, and Merry Christmas
Universal had better release all their Christmas records on vinyl as soon as there's enough for a good 12" - love all of them.
Where in the hell has Dawes been all my life?
who cares it's May... still love listening to this song
i do too!had to listen to it in june :)
You know a Christmas song is good when you can listen to it any time of the year and still enjoy it
Omg the Killers are absolutly the best!
Jared Hess 3:42 awwwwe yeah!
and jerusha!
Странно, но с каждым прослушиванием больше нравится. Это, конечно, не те "The Killers" из 2004, но ведь тоже неплохо. Не динамичная, но грустная композиция.
Man this song manages to put beautiful and sadness in one song, this song is so perfect
Impressive animation work by a bunch of young BYU students! Love the song, love the Killers, love the cause!
I miss the killers so much
me too.. but I guess they're releasing a new album this year! :)
Glad to see some Zevon love from The Killers!
Amazing song, and great video. It can make you cry.
Indeed it made me to.
Merry Christmas team CILA
GOD I LOVE OWEN WILSON.
THEN A CITY OF OWEN'S WILSON OOOH MY GOD
....I cried......
Thank you, from a Zevon lover...
my daughter went through a bad time 2 yrs ago christmas time but she got through her demons she is now back to that loving caring person again this song always takes me back to that time but now when i listen to this song it helps to remind me how precious life is
Beautiful beautiful song, amazing lyrics and nice melody!!
Love The Killers!
This is such a beautiful story telling song and the music and voices are so touching... Can't believe it hasn't been played much on the radio. It's beautiful!
