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.
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
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.
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 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.

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 :)
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.
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.
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.
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
I spent five years living in San Antonio, two timezones from my family. Since my family is very tight, it was quite difficult and sad every year when Christmas time came around. This was basically my song.
This song has a universal appeal for highlighting a different side of Christmas, but it definitely hits the feeling of being a working professional in the LA area.
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.
two ofmy favorite bands every what.a find this morning. I never heard this before WOW fantastic, being a transplanted New Yorker in LA soooo resonates.
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!
Miss their usual Christmas songs, this one is great for many reasons. Love the Warren Zevon references, and I’ve spent Christmas’s in LA it is different. All their Xmas songs are great
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.
Something about all my years in Southern California, and now being away for so long, this video made me miss it- the melancholy of another year rolling away but no one notices since it's always the same; it takes me right back...
ill sign it. im proud of you all too. one world. one race=human. one love. freedom for all. enjoy. too blessed to stress! from Longgg Beach to the world. god loves you. lets stop chasing brandon around. thank youu The Killers !

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.
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..
Yeah! A new The Killers Christmas song! :D Christmas is not Christmas without a song from you guys, its a tradition for The Killers fans :) I felt bad last year :\
Странно, но с каждым прослушиванием больше нравится. Это, конечно, не те "The Killers" из 2004, но ведь тоже неплохо. Не динамичная, но грустная композиция.
En relidad conocí a the killers este año pero puede decir en tan poco tiempo, que esta banda , es la mejor que e escuchado asta ahora, espero conocer mas de esta excelente música .
Came here after pushing play in 'Torn apart' by Bastille, I regret it really. 1st time I listened and watched that one, 1st time I do this one and must say, it feels like a breath of fresh air. Thank you The Killers you never disappoint me.
@@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
What a great Christmas gift you guys! I think your music has matured alongside each one of you in the band. I simply love the thoughtful harmonic melodies you continue to create! Merry Christmas.
This song gets better and better every year.
“Who do you think you’re foolin’ man, of course she did.” So good.
"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. 🎄💔
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
Back again for another Christmas with The Killers. This has become my favorite of their Christmas tunes.
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
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?
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.
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
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’ve only just discovered this gorgeous Christmas song and now wondering how it’s gone under the radar and not played in the UK 🤷🏼♂️
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 ♥
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.
It's become a tradition that the Killers release a Christmas song
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
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 ❤️❤️
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
This is simply the greatest Christmas song ever written
It’s good but don’t be ridiculous.
Owen Wilson and the Killers! Excellent combination. Truly excellent song.
Perfect Christmas song. Thank you Brandon, Dave, Ronnie and Mark I love you guys.
I just love Harry Dean and Owen Wilson. They are just perfect.
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*
Owen Wilson has been a refreshing light in the scene of comedy actors, i love it how he does it.
''Another pitcher of Sangria
In an empty beach café''
That part sound so amazing....:D
incredible lyrics and melody - captured it totally
The Killers carry on their Christmas tradition in some style. Great Christmas tune, full of melancholy... Love it
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 :)
Every Christmas season..i listen to The Killer's Christmas songs.
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.
More Dawes/Killers collaborations please!
November 2024…first time hearing this. Such a great song.
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.
2 years later and Dawes is one of my favorite bands ALMOST even with the Killers. Very underrated.
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.
Come to Utah and spend Christmas with me Owen.............you will never be lonely. wwwhhhooooooaaaaaaahhhhhhhoooooooooooooooo Fuckin Owen yeah!!!!
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
2:33 Warren showed up and my heart melted a bit.
If Warren Zevon wrote an original Christmas song this would be it.
Rest in Peace Harry Dean. You'll be missed.
I spent five years living in San Antonio, two timezones from my family. Since my family is very tight, it was quite difficult and sad every year when Christmas time came around. This was basically my song.
Harry Dean Stanton in *Paris, Texas (1984)* is a must-watch.
Jared Hess 3:42 awwwwe yeah!
and jerusha!
Here for it again! From Ann Arbor this time around.
I've started to listen to The Killers because of their song called Shot at the night, and now they're my favourite band!!
This song has a universal appeal for highlighting a different side of Christmas, but it definitely hits the feeling of being a working professional in the LA area.
Impressive animation work by a bunch of young BYU students! Love the song, love the Killers, love the cause!
Merry Christmas everyone!
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. 😅

Universal had better release all their Christmas records on vinyl as soon as there's enough for a good 12" - love all of them.
Hold me tighter Carmelita, with Warren Zevon sat in the back of the church… fantastic.
Man this song manages to put beautiful and sadness in one song, this song is so perfect
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!
another Christmas song, thanks The Killers!!
Beautiful beautiful song, amazing lyrics and nice melody!!
Love The Killers!
My 6th year coming back to this video every Christmas season
This is such a good song, I physically cannot wait the whole year to hear it again
two ofmy favorite bands every what.a find this morning. I never heard this before WOW fantastic, being a transplanted New Yorker in LA soooo resonates.
this was super depressing. Owen Wilson always has a way of making me cry.
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!
Lived in LA for about two years... this song is too true and breaks my heart!
Miss their usual Christmas songs, this one is great for many reasons. Love the Warren Zevon references, and I’ve spent Christmas’s in LA it is different. All their Xmas songs are great
my life is basically a cycle of 11 months sitting and waiting for the month I can listen to this song nonstop
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.
I just can't stop listening to this song.
The Killers Christmas album honestly has to be my favorite album by them.
The Killers + Owen Wilson =
My second favourite Christmas song of all time.
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.
underrated Christmas song by the killers...puts alot of things into perspective family and friends etc ..never forget where you came from.
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...

Rest in Peace, Harry Dean Stanton.
ill sign it. im proud of you all too. one world. one race=human. one love. freedom for all. enjoy. too blessed to stress! from Longgg Beach to the world. god loves you. lets stop chasing brandon around. thank youu The Killers !
animated Zevon at 2:33 and 3:44. nice touch.
Guess a sunny Christmas ain't what its cracked up to be, according the Killers. Once again they kick some ass with another Christmas song.
Esto me pareció una canción de navidad especial para los Latinos, que pasan una navidad con muchísimo calor. Nice VIdeo, Greetings from Paraguay!
The Killers can't go wrong. Love this song, this video, moves me to tears as so much of their work does.
Animated Warren Zevon cameo! Love it❣️
Don't Shoot Me Santa is still my favorite Christmas song from The Killers.
Another to add to the list of excellent Killers Christmas songs
I love the fact they do one every year and never disappoint top top band awesome
I lived in LA for 20 years and almost every xmas there felt like this.
This song is amazing. Love it !
I REALLY LOVE OWEN WILSON
For me, this song is as integral to Christmas as turkey, crackers and German markets.
GOD I LOVE OWEN WILSON.
THEN A CITY OF OWEN'S WILSON OOOH MY GOD
I wasn't really a fan of Battle Born but this has restored my faith in The Killers. Really like this 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...
this song is perfect for the ones who say that is too low, well i'm happy they do some low sad songs and diversify
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
Love this song so much
Yeah! A new The Killers Christmas song! :D Christmas is not Christmas without a song from you guys, its a tradition for The Killers fans :) I felt bad last year :\
this song is so relatable yet it has nothing to do with me
Странно, но с каждым прослушиванием больше нравится. Это, конечно, не те "The Killers" из 2004, но ведь тоже неплохо. Не динамичная, но грустная композиция.
I have been waiting for months for the Killers' new Christmas song, and it definitely doesn't disappoint.
En relidad conocí a the killers este año pero puede decir en tan poco tiempo, que esta banda , es la mejor que e escuchado asta ahora, espero conocer mas de esta excelente música .
This dark beautiful depressing track somehow sparks the spirit of Christmas in me.
Rip Harry Dean every year you tell me to do nothing
Listen to this every year but this one I actually feel like this... great song. Now for some Warren Zevon
My favourite Christmas song
Came here after pushing play in 'Torn apart' by Bastille, I regret it really. 1st time I listened and watched that one, 1st time I do this one and must say, it feels like a breath of fresh air. Thank you The Killers you never disappoint me.
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
