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.

#TheKillers #LandOfTheFree
This song is painful, poignant and utterly beautiful. So many years later, it still hits me like a ton on bricks.
*of
This song sounds like a Bruce Springsteen or Jackson Browne song to me, which is a high compliment. It is compelling and desolate at the same time. Daaamn.
The message is clear for anyone who feels like listening. Unfortunately, the wrong people are in charge of the world at the moment and it isn't getting any better. One of the few bands to have the balls to stand up and say it in all it's painful damning truth.
Can I reply with a song by Queen + Paul Rodgers?
«I believe we need a hero to step boldly from the shadows
You believe there must be someone on the scene that fits the bill
A man or a woman who knows how to say "I'm sorry"
With courage in his heart to match his creed
A leader who can build a brand new morning
And match the tide of changes
Match the intent with the deed»
And we need to vote for him/her.
Still crying with this song, proud to be daughter of an immigrant who just was looking for better opportunities
Wow
How is this possible?! I'm losing it out here! How could you let this happen again?! How?! How?!! How!...
Agreed
What a horrible country
I'm ashamed to be American
I'm back here again too....I am heartbroken 😞
@beckaboolouwho Hi, I'm not from your country but I understand the pain you must be going through, we love you and see you, at least I do, have this as a reminder ❤🫂
@@beckaboolouwhoHi, for some reason the @ broke on the comment above
Musically this is their best song. hands down. Also production.
I think this is their best song ever. It is incredibly difficult to write a great protest song, and they nailed it
So here we are again. Yearning to breathe free.
4 years later its just as powerful and urgent a message , yet we as a country still have made little to no progress, too many think everythings fine as it is. I Hope Brandon Flowers continues to shout it from the rooftops, and use his presence on the world stage to try to drive the point home.
It’s not that often that The Killers address a serious issue or problem, but when they do, it is a thing of beauty!
actually, most of their music has these exact same themes, just stated more subtly. this is the first ive seen it put bluntly in their music
@@wackywally69420 💜
Land of the Free is the most inspiring musical work I have heard for many a year. Standing up to government with the wrong attitude. The fact it is written and recorded by 'The Killers' should begin an international movement to move from Killing to Saving, with The Killers as the watchword
America is just one single land from the North of Canada to the south of Chile… AMERICA IS JUST ONE LAND!
I think people forget that there are countries like Honduras or Venezuela where the situation is so dire and desolate, that it’s either run or be killed. I personally know people who have crossed the border illegally because, well it was either that or their children would have to join a gang. The legal issue is one that we, as Americans, look at from a comfortable side, from the other side of the wall. We criticize without empathizing, and that’s where we’re wrong. Thank you to The Killers for highlighting one of the many areas that we can still fix in the Land of the Free.
Thanks for writing this. You're exactly right.
Paul WT How cruel to turn our backs on those who need help. I’m glad that you aren’t in the same situation.
@Paul WT They aren't the government.
_Oscar Aragon_
*Empathy does no good unless the one you're giving it to, is emphatic towards you. Empathy shouldn't be given stupidly. That can get you killed. The girls that were beheaded and raped with a knife were emphatic to a fault. Empathy can and has been used as a masterful weapon.*
Oscar Aragon Total bullshit comment. Fuck you, fuck your ignorant comment and your thoughtless words which insult all the legal immigrants and natural born citizens that have been killed or victimized by illegal immigrants.
Who loves THE KILLERS???

I think we can all agree that our love affair with The Killers after this "song" filled with falsehoods is OVER...

Mr. Flowers, You And The Band Have Hit A New High With This Ballad! It's Raw In It's Truth And Beautiful In It's Glory, And I Love It!
Very powerful song. Thanks Brandon and The Killers. GOD speed.
Lyrics:
Can't wipe the wind-blown smile from across my face
It's just the old man in me
Washing his truck at the Sinclair station
In the land of the free (Ooh)
His mother, Adeline's family, came on a ship
Cut coal and planted a seed
Down in them drift mines of Pennsylvania
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
(I'm standing crying)
When I go out in my car, I don't think twice
But if you're the wrong color skin (I'm standing, crying)
You grow up looking over both your shoulders
In the land of the free
And we got more people locked up than the rest of the world
Right here in red, white and blue (I'm standing, crying)
Incarceration's become big business
It's harvest time out on the avenue
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Move on there's nothing to see
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm standing crying (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'm standing crying (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
So how many daughters, tell me, how many sons
Do we have to have to put in the ground
Before we just break down and face it:
We got a problem with guns? (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
In the land of the free
Down at the border, they're gonna put up a wall
Concrete and Rebar Steel beams (I'm standing crying)
High enough to keep all those filthy hands off
Of our hopes and our dreams (I'm standing crying)
People who just want the same things we do
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
Land of the free, land of the free
In the land of the free (I'm standing crying)
Thank you killers for making such an incredible and relatable song.
@Isaac Salema what???
Young Blood thanks
Thank for lyrics i sang the song enjoyed it
Brandon's voice is as powerful as it was 10 years ago. The Killers never gets old.
I agree. Such a powerful voice!!
Gay
Brendan Bloomberg lmao stfu idiot.
@@BusterSlice Dont like your own comment, thats gay too.
@@brendanbloomberg3283 Don''t reply to me bitch. Learn to stfu when you're told. Have a good night.
Being a child of immigrants this really hit home and made me realize even more so what my parents gave up for me to have what they didn’t. An education. An opportunity to be born in the U.S. and be a legal citizen. A college education. A good future. Thanks mom and dad for everything. I do often think about what they’ve sacrificed for me, but this made me sit here and cry and reflect upon my life for a solid 15 minutes. Jeez, once again, thanks mom and dad for putting your life’s in danger so that I didn’t have to one day endanger mine or my family’s, thanks. And thanks The Killers for making this meaningful song.
Except if they came here illegally and then had you, you have no right to be here.
@@Akihito007 shut up. You shouldn't be there as well then. Unless you're Native American.
@P. Doherty then don't complain if illegals start killing you.
@P. Doherty yeah, sure snowflake. It is completely different from what you said. I hope the "millions" on the "caravan" start killing and taking land. That's how an immigration process should be done according to you.
All of us born here legally are "Native Americans."
RIP to all the sons and daughters who died in Nashville or in any other terrible school shooting, which keep happening every year because so many Americans don't dare to face it: You got a problem with guns in the land of the free.
Thank you so much for acknowledging this and putting it on a song for the world to see. You all have a great heart. México loves you, God bless xx

Do you let strangers into your home when they need shelter? If you don't, then use that logic to understand borders. Rome did, and when they couldn't hold their borders... huh, they collapsed. So strange.
@@GoodGranted I was merely posting the lyrics , I was not commenting on the political stance of the song. I agree with what you're saying, but as with anything it is never just back or white, and there is obviously the human element to be considered. One of the other points of the song was about the irony of the view that anyone can come to the "land of the free" and make a name for themselves, except actually they can't - so how can it be land of the free.
Calm down,@@GoodGranted
@@GoodGranted Rome didn't collapse because they took in immigrants and refugees. That's what you're implying. There are a number of things that contributed to the fall of Rome. There's a huge difference between an invading force and having people cross the border illegally. The biggest contributing factors to the fall of Rome were an over-reliance on slave labor, invasions by Barbarian armies, unstable economy, over-expansion of the military, overspending within the military and rampant corruption within the government. Which kind of sounds familiar. So your fall of Rome comparison fits here. Just not the way you think it does. Pick up a book sometime.
@@GoodGranted You have never taken a single history class that covered why Rome fell, or done any research, have you?
Brandon Flowers is one of our greatest natural resources
Quinn David Furness hahahahaha indeed! So lovely and pure.
Well I guess that settles it. It is now more important than ever to funnel these immigrants to a legal port of entry so they at least have a chance in the future of becoming citizens.
To encourage them to cross illegally just puts them immediately on a course where they will never achieve it unless given amnesty... Think it through. We are now in a place politically that the democrats would need to win the house, senate and presidency and push through amnesty and then lose all power in the next election...hoping to grant enough amnesty to increase their own political power. The remainder of America including all immigrants who came here legally will turn away from democrats for decades after that. Only 14% of legal immigrant Hispanics in America are against the border wall. 86% are for it. The wall would be good for the democrats too. If they succeed in blocking it...they are just shooting themselves in the foot. The Republicans will make it clear that every criminal or terrorist act after that by an illegal is because of the Democrats. Coastal liberals are taking polls within their own coastal liberal communities. Take a poll in the "fly over" states where all the "deplorable s" live. See what they think.
I can't stop thinking about this song, following yesterday's election result. Thinking of y'all over there. Stay strong.
On December 12th 2012, I woke up, unlocked my phone, and, like so many others, saw the pleas to “Pray for Sandy Hook.” The news was devastating. Heart wrenching. A gut punch. But, sadly, not as shocking as it should have been. As a father I’ll never fully comprehend what that community and those parents went through. But my church upbringing taught me to mourn with those that mourn and I did it the best way that I knew how. I cried for those kids and teachers. I got on my knees and I prayed for those families.
If there was a single moment that I mentally began to assembly “Land of the Free,” that was it. In the months and years that followed, America would be hit with an onslaught of more mass shootings of innocents and too many examples of racial injustice to ignore. After some self education and soul searching- with the help of great beacons like Ava DuVernay’s “13th,” and my friend Jimmy Kimmel’s powerful opening monologues- I couldn’t help but sit down and commit how I was feeling into a song.
We dishonor our values, our ancestors and our heritage when we tear gas our brothers and sisters seeking asylum. I see my family in the faces of these vulnerable people. After all, it wasn’t that long ago that my grandmother and her family immigrated from Lithuania to escape the U.S.S.R’s oppression. They chose to leave everything they knew behind to come to America, and work grueling jobs in dangerous coal mines, rather than endure tyranny at home.
I love my country. I know that these are complicated issues but whether you stand the left, right, or straddle the line, you’ve gotta believe that we can do better.
-Brandon Flowers
Trump's family can also be seen in the faces of these people. After all, his grandfather immigrated from Germany to escape oppression. His wife is also an immigrant. The hypocrisy is staggering.
Oh look!, another snapchat flittered basic bitch social conformist spouting the most safest and gernic establishment/cooperate talking points as something “inspirational!” And “brave!”...
NPC as fuck..
They tear gassed people throwing rocks at police. It’s a simple fact that this video edited out.
@DOSTGOYEVSKY !
Why yes, yes I am.
"We dishonor our values, our ancestors and our heritage when we tear gas our brothers and sisters seeking asylum."
Yet if you asked the Founding Fathers, they'd say: if it ain't white, it ain't allowed to be a citizen of the United States.
I did a lyric analysis of this song with my 11th grade English students. It was pretty powerful. The Killers' use of Rhetoric is outstanding in this song, not just in the lyrics, but the tone as well. It's so heartland American, which is who he is making his plea to. It is a call for understanding when people have closed their hearts and will not see people, only difference. We've also cross referenced this song with Bob Dylan's "Shelter From The Storm".
Now that’s a great teacher 👍
My grandparents fled Leninist communism, my brother in law just got his citizenship last year... difference? Legal!! Please don’t feed these children your liberal ideologies through good music. It’s because of this backlash that we got Trump, and trust me... he won’t be the last for sure
@@taylorprocker I'm lost on your comment. At what point did you think I was teaching Liberal Ideologies? Is it a liberal ideology to care for those who are suffering or is that a Christian ideology, or a conservative ideology, or a Jewish ideology, or an Atheist ideology? You tell me...
every troglodyte understands these neoliberal garbage lyrics. lol
That's real teaching... trying to engage kids with music etc.
Siempre he admirado el trabajo de Brandon Flowers y compañía, por ejemplo, grabar When you were young en México fue una gran muestra de su empatía hacia nuestra cultura. Pero hacer un himno a la esperanza en medio de las sacudidas sociales que en pleno 2019 vivimos, habla de su calidad humana, esa que les hace falta a quienes dicen tener Poder. Gracias The Killers.
La neta, se mamó ese dios.
muy acertado
El siempre ha sido cercano a México. Creo que su hermano esta casado con una mexicana o una hermana con un mexicano. EL ha dicho que siempre ha convivido con Mexicanos desde su niñez. Bueno, hasta tienen una canción que menciona a la virgen de guadalupe...
@jorge alberto happy birthday Guadalupe
@jorge alberto ua-cam.com/video/C24KIIh_OzM/v-deo.html Bueno, no es exactamente a la virgen, pero muchos la toman asi.
This band just doesn't age.
And they were mature since they started too. Their sound was ahead of its time.
Maybe some day this song will be irrelevant. I hope.
They've aged a TON. Not necessarily in a bad way. They're just different. And it makes sense. 15 years ago they wrote break up songs. Now they're middle aged men so the content is going to be vastly different.
@@OurHereafteryeah I get it ! And he’s really hot still! But yes I can hear how they’ve changed! I love it !
It would be great to have it played during halftime at the Super Bowl this year.
YAAAAS
I don't give a shit about football but I would definitely watch half time this year if they played this song.
Im not left or right wing but i really just want to keep football being football. Dont put politics in everything.
@Liz Tester You know the answer dont be coy.
@Liz Tester So....I was right and youre feigning ignorance to make invalid points.
There is a serious Bruce Springsteen feel to this .. I say this as a compliment to the highest degree... Real music , vocals with heart and soul .. I do not foresee a tragic drug overdose or suicide.. Many of their songs give me chills that I thought at age 50 would not happen .. Please give me a Killers covering ' Backstreets '.. Flowers could ace playing a younger Springsteen !
I couldnt agree more. Bruce has some of the best protest songs and this really has the vibes.
“I say this as a compliment”….no shit lol
Please my FRIEND
Sie waren es

People thinking this is The Killers first “political” song have not been paying attention at all.
This song came out two hours ago, who's saying this is there first "political" song?
Woow🙌👏la mejor banda!
Probably the least subtle tho 😂 still a great song 🙌
@@candshoes1890 Read the comments, people are whining its political propaganda.
The kind of people against the message in this song can't stand opinions different from theirs existing.
@@Alice-May I haven't seen one comment that says "this is there first political song"
This song reminds me why The Killers are my favourite American band.
Made me think of Bruce Springsteen, John Lennon, woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan. We need more artists not afraid to make protest songs
Joey Lai I agree! Listen to WHERES the revolution by Depeche Mode!
You’re high as a kite to be reminded of any of those people. The song is crap and the whole video is just for likes
It mostly sounds like Springsteen to me.
Kip Vaughan I meant that it reminded me of them, in the regards of it being a protest song.
Joey Lai To protest against what; The fact that you live in the most free and prosperous nation in the history of the World, or that we actually have to enforce our laws to keep the citizens of this country safe?
Didn't expect to hear this from The Killers. Brought me to tears!
Please let this get The Killers a grammy nod for best music video!! Cannot believe they haven't been nominated at all since Sams Town
yeah virtue signal with a shitty grammy
Boycott killers and the bs liberal nonsense

Soy estudiante de trabajo social, siempre se nos pregunta en clases acerca del tema social que más nos duele... Instantáneamente aparecen en mi mente las imagenes de este video, sinceramente es el conflicto social y la crisis que más me toca, espero que una vez egresada de mi carrera, mis manos sean de utilidad para todos aquellos que sufren por la injusticia, por mínima que sea mi acción, mi esfuerzo sera gigantesco, los quiero ♥
Gracias por tus pensamientos. Suerte ❤!
Hoy 2022 y es una situación que sigue doliendo y de la que nadie habla. Soy profesional del área de economía, aún hoy me pregunto porqué los líderes del mundo no escuchan los que el mundo entero le está pidiendo a la economía. Por más gente como vos que piense en el sufrimiento del otro y trabaje para lograr mejorar un poquito sus vidas. De mi parte trato siempre de escuchar los reclamos de este tipo para poder hablar por los que no tienen voz en está salvaje economía de mercado.
Damn i truly believe brandon flowers is one of the best singers of our generation
I am the son of an "illegal" immigrant, my dad left when I was a kid and I haven't seen him in 27 years. With his work he paid for my college and I became a journalist. Today I write once again about the caravan of Hondurans and to inspire me to cry, I listen to this song. Honduras is still hurting.
Come legally
@@UnderCver-bd1xh Your ancestors didn't, and their descendants (that's you) are the ones that messed up the country.
Maybe return to Honduras and unite your own people, build up and fight for what you want! Nothing changes unless you take back YOUR country. We’re not the world police.
Grandparents fled Lenin communism and immigrated, brother-in-law just got... all LEGAL. God bless this country, please come in legal and please buy and own guns legally. It’s the only thing that keeps our government fearing the people. When the government fears its people, you have liberty. When people fear it’s government, tyranny.
Illegal caravans are invasions
This is heartbreaking. I love you for making this.
Very relevant song given what happened yesterday 😢
the only thing that i can say to The Killers is
Thank You So Much!!!!!
modesty, simplicity, serenity...
This... THIS is what we have been waiting for! This song brings together the soaring choruses of Hot Fuss, the sheer energy of Sam's Town, the social awareness of Day & Age, all while charting brand new territory for the band. THE KILLERS STILL HAVE IT!!
It vibes more with Battle Born but go off ig
And the vibe of Battle Born and arrangements of Wonderful Wonderful
totally fuckin making connections where none exist........and guess what they kinda dont...................dumbest "smart person" award for monday 1/14/19 i love them but im not gonna lie and say its better.
XanderRcage Jesus Christ. Firstly, it’s an observation about a song. Secondly, if you’re going to use unnecessary elipses at least format them correctly.
...I wish The Killers still had it
This song seems to fit the situation going around right now. Rest In Power George Floyd #BlackLivesMatter ✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
I'm using this video in a lesson I'm teaching to my 8th grade students.
all lives matter... or is one more worth than another?
@@slackerbeats I'm not saying that any other lives don't matter. But as for now, black community needed help the most for recent tragedy and oppression towards them that has been going around for God knows how long. Supporting them and help spread the messages are the least we can do.
@@slackerbeats Pretend you are in Holland in 1939 and you see some people protesting the way Jews are being treated. They are chanting, "Jew Lives matter" and you walk over and say, "No, all lives matter." That is what you are saying when you step into a specific situation, a protest where a specific race of people are being targeted. You try to bring the attention away from what is being fought.
It’s hard to listen to it and not cry.
From Mexico here. My parents have 5 children. All born in Mexico. Many years ago, they managed to take us all to the United States for a better life. They left first, leaving all their children behind, promising they'd take us with them eventually. That they'll see us again eventually. Little by little, they found the way to bring us with them. Me and my sister were the last to leave. I was just 4 years old. My sister, 7. It was a 3 to 4 day walk to cross the border, not mentioning the trip from where I'm from(Puebla) to the border. I feel this song so much, because my parents had to cross to give us a better life. It was definitely one of the things that changed my life forever.
My grandparents came to this nation legally from Italy in the 1920s. They crossed the ocean by ship. They arrived legally. They were processed legally. How can one be proud to enter the nation illegally? If I went to another country and entered illegally and set out to stay there without following protocol, then when I get caught I deserve to sent away because I am violating their laws. People need to follow the law of the nation they wish to enter. People don't oppose immigration - they oppose illegal immigration - side stepping and dismissing the laws of that nation.
KILLERS FOR PRESIDENT

@@yup8708 então sai porra, juro que já tou farta dos teus comentários anormais, só tenho fé é que maior parte dos americanos não seja uma poia andante como tu. Juro que não tencionava comentar os teus comentários de merda, mas és mais ignorante e hipócrita do que eu pensava. Por isso lê livros e vê notícias para te informares sobre as barbaridades que estás a dizer. Caguei para o facto de não saberes ler nesta língua, mas se escrevesse em inglês também não ias entender um piço porque não tiveste a sorte de ter um cérebro desenvolvido.
Great to see The Killers put into song an issue that they care about, well done. And a powerful short film to accompany it, symbolising the paradox of the Land of The Free, for some at least, with the Stars and Stripes flown upside down, indicating distress. Apt symbolism that strikes at the core of the issue.
What exactly is this “issue?” So many confuse broken humanity and our broken world and that reality and blame it on a country where you can do any job you want, go anywhere you want, date anyone you want, that has brilliant Constitutional checks and balances that allow “We The People” to challenge the government and make incredible change (Look at Brown vs bd. Of Ed). It isn’t always perfect, but don’t blame the country. All of us are empowered to make individual decisions every day that are protected by the Constitution and this great Republic.
I'd like to think I'm a heartless stoic, yet here I am shedding tears.
Masterful.
One year, and this song still in my spirit. I'm crying because Honduras hurts. Thanks The Killers.

As human beings I always wonder why we seem to hate each other so much and create so much division amongst us. For those of you throwing hate around so freely you don’t have to answer to me or to anyone. None of us knows what lies beyond death. I know life can be dark and not always the best. But what if this is a blessing in disguise and look at how we treat it..look at the world and how WE are the ones destroying it. There’s enough room in this planet for all of us. It is nobody’s land. Is it so wrong to help each other? Just fucking cut it out with all the hate I’m so tired of it...
>"human nature is compassionate"
>why do we hate each other xd?!?!?!?!
See anything wrong here?
I mean this doesn't really say anything
See what we've become....
my all time favThe Killers
Just did an analysis of this song for my music as literature class at my highschool. My group wasn’t very excited about my choice but this song is so utterly powerful, I cry every time
so dramatic
""Land of the Free” is a song by The Killers, which handles tough subjects in America such as gun control, immigration and racial tensions."
México los espera! 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Respect for the Killers
So beautiful. So underrated. So good.
May God bless our world! The Killers sure bless my world.
Que viva Latinoamericana . Que viva America. Que viva los seres humanos. Que vivan los sueños. Que viva The Killers.
Lloré al escucharlo y verlo :(
Que viva la Panamericana. Somos una sola tierra.
Los Dientes Del Perro.
Viva Manu Chao! JA
Pero si el mayor problema son los seres humanos
The Killers: "So how many daughters, tell me how many sons do we have to put in the ground before we just break down and face it: we got a problem with guns in the Land of the free?"
Americans: "Keep 'em coming, not nearly enough yet."
This song touched my heart it is just what America needs to hear
Years of listening to this band but this is somehow their best song. It soars in the air, does somersaults, lives, escapes and grows higher. His voice has a reverberating effecting like Billy Joel, Elton John, the voice of the ages and sages. Glorious yet rooted. Uplifting yet detached. So I say if Kings of Leon has Beautiful War, the killers have land of the free.
This is the most beautiful/hurtful thing i've whatched
Is this a new killers song. I'm new to them so I dont know. I absolutely love this song. The piano in this is beautiful. I listened to it twice in a row
Yes!
I’m literally crying. I love the killers so much and just that they’re not afraid to say all this knowing that there’s gonna be people who judge them is just so incredible. (I don’t entirely agree with everything in the lyrics but it’s still amazing.)
They will get no backlash for this, how is this brave
@@Skinner453 REAL backlash, not just mad comments from randos on the internet.
I just found this video. Been a hardcore Killers fan for the past twenty years. So proud of the guys!
Hermosa canción 🍃llore y llore soy de Honduras y se todo lo que está pasando en este país por la maldita corrupción ,Estados Unidos no quiere a nuestra gente,pero bien que si se llevan toda nuestra materia prima !! Maldito sistema en el que vivimos ,ojalá todos tengamos ese sentimiento de voluntad para todo los seres vivos
So how many daughters, tell me, how many sons
Do we have to have to put in the ground, that part hit me like a train!
gay
You really do have a problem with guns, Land of the Free.
@@kateemma22 What we have a problem with is gang activity, which is responsible for more than half of our country's homicides. And guess what? Disarming law-abiding citizens won't help.
as many as we have to till thet start listening to the law
Mannnn....ya know man..... this part of the video should flash from MOVE Philadelphia to Waco to Ruby Ridge to Iraq to Afghanistan. We really do have a problem with guns. We'll shake our heads when that problem flies the blue or red flag or wears a trenchcoat, but when it flies the red, white and blue, we salute!
Never been more relevant than right now.
Thank you guys for this beautiful song.
The biggest walls are not those we build at borders. They are those we build in our minds. They are those we used to define cultures, faith, and morals that negatively separates us.
You'd be an idiot to think all cultures/faiths/moral systems can just get along. Multiculturism has been tried, it was a gigantic fucking failure.
Believe what you will. I certainly didn't stated it will all get along & you are certainly corroborating my point. Thank you...
@@gaekae You can't make a coherent sentence.
I can't help you there or your anger
@@gaekae Calm down, learn how to read and type, come back in a few years
That's why I love "The Killers". Tell 'em!
Yo soy de México, quiero darle las gracias a "The Killers" por esta canción que expresa el apoyo a los latinos. Viva México y Latinoamérica.🇲🇽🇭🇳
so stop being illegal
Translation please
He's being thankful for The Killer's supportive lyrics, what does "legal or illegal" has do to with it?... just enjoy the freaking song or get lost
@@gavinbeutlin5398 Thanks
Que bonita canción, y VIVA AMERICA LATINA YOFOS SOMOS HERMANOS😢💕👍🇲🇽
Hebrews 13:2
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.
Leviticus 19:33-34
“When a stranger sojourns with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Romans 15:7
Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
Leviticus 19:34
You shall treat the stranger who sojourns with you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
Exodus 23:9
“You shall not oppress a sojourner. You know the heart of a sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Leviticus 24:22
You shall have the same rule for the sojourner and for the native, for I am the Lord your God.”
Deuteronomy 10:19
Love the sojourner, therefore, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Exodus 22:21
“You shall not wrong a sojourner or oppress him, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Malachi 3:5
“Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the Lord of hosts.
Leviticus 25:35
“If your brother becomes poor and cannot maintain himself with you, you shall support him as though he were a stranger and a sojourner, and he shall live with you.
Galatians 5:14
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Job 31:32
(the sojourner has not lodged in the street; I have opened my doors to the traveler),
Isaiah 58:7
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh?
Republicans are not real Christians
...if only Native Americans knew about all this on the Bible🙄 (notice my sarcasm)
Welcome immigrants, but following the laws.
Romans 13:1-14
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the governing authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring God's judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right by the law of the land and you will be right with God. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s appointed, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience. This is also why you pay taxes, for the authorities are God’s appointed, who give their full time to governing. Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor. Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves fulfills the law.
Titus 3:1
Remind them to be submissive to rulers and authorities, to be obedient to the laws of the land, to be ready for every good work
Matthew 22:17-22
Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?” But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the coin for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said, “Caesar's.” Then Jesus said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's"
1 John 3:4
Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness and lawlessness is sin
Matthew 17:24-27
When they came to Capernaum, the collectors of the two-drachma tax went up to Peter and said, “Does your teacher not pay the tax?” He said, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do kings of the earth take toll or tax? From their sons or from others?” And when he said, “From others,” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. However, not to give offense to them, go to the sea and cast a hook and take the first fish that comes up, and when you open its mouth you will find a shekel. Take that first and give it to them for me and for yourself.”
1 Peter 2:13-17
Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors appointed to punish those who sin and to praise those who do good. For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people. Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for sin, but living as servants of God under the law of the land. Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor and his laws.
Luke 2:1-52
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered. This was the first registration when Quirinius was governor of Syria. And all went to be registered, each to his own town. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.
Rosellen Provost I posted a reply to cherry picked scriptures the OP used to defend ILLEGAL immigration. Looks like you want to twist scriptures around too. God gives free will to all people. Many choose to follow God and many choose to follow evil, including leaders. If choose to use scriptures as your defense for a political agenda, you better apply them in their entirety and in the context in which they were written, regardless if you like them or not, or you're applying a blasphemous message yourself. Western civilization have laws based on Judeo-Christian values and laws, regardless if you like them or not too.
I support LEGAL immigration 100%. I absolutely do NOT support people from other countries coming into our country and refusing to pay taxes when the rest of us have to. I also don't support illegal aliens receiving government entitlements or taking advantage of privileges like education, when they do not financially contribute to the salaries or facilities. It's unconstitutional because it's NOT equal. We do not have a surplus of funds to support them. I also do not support illegals request to vote. I cannot vote for foreign politicians while I am abroad, it is not my country. We are not a one-world order.
There are no excuses why people in other countrIes can't come to the U.S. legally. A million people migrate here LEGALLY every year and we welcome them with open arms. Do those numbers reflect a horribly, broken system? If you want to go watch a movie but don't have money for a ticket, or don't want to stand in line, do you sneak in the back door, kick someone out of their seat onto the floor, and demand their popcorn too? A poverty defence doesn't hold ground for jumping ahead of the immigration line for refugee status when many Africans are desperate to eat and face genocides, abuses and desperation far worse than citizens in South America. Their efforts should be focused on overthrowing their corrupt governments and fix their own systems, not run to and take from our people. Illegal immigrants cost us, the taxpayers, 116 billion dollars annually. 1/4 of my paycheck is taken by the U.S. government for illegals who jump the ticket gate, along with handing out money to other countries, and other BS, when millions of our own people are left for dead, struggling, hungry, or homeless. My question to you is: Why do you feel illegals should continue to be tax exempt? At the end of the day that's the debate. When our government runs a deficit, our money tree for locusts to eat is dead.
If they want a freebie from us, then working citizens living in other countries should be forced by their government to pay taxes for their own citizens regardless where they are, or if they choose to break the law. Those taxes should be collected by the U.S. government to cover their costs and ship them back. If they want to come to America, they can do it legally, pay the ticket, wait in line, follow our laws, and pay their own way.

Our world needs more people like you💙 bless your soul
We need people like you to lead America. Someone who cares for others, despite where they live or what they look like.
Why are you making this about race?
@@SOULFORESAKER people of "color" are consumed by race that's why
I just heard "Wake up and smell the coffee" moment. Every word, every phrase, broke my heart. This is the most honest representation of the anguish this country has been going through for these longest, most bitter four years. I can't stop listening to it and I cry. It may not be an anthem. It feels like sorrow and fear and regret. Ever word sings America. Every word rings of truth. Truth that makes you want to hang your head in shame. Thank you Killers. You slay me. It hurts to hear but sometime truth and beauty hurt.
A little dramatic
2021 American let's get on track. This should be our anthem for the new year.
Last time I was this early I was coming outta my cage and I was doing just fine gotta gotta be down because I wanted it all.
i remember when it started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
last time I was this early it started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
Zoop yeah, I remember it was only a kiss, it was only a kiss.
Yeah, and i was falling asleep and she was calling a cab
Pelle Linde oh! that must’ve been while I was having a smoke, and she was taking a drag
The killers como siempre haciendo buena música. El vídeo muestra un mensaje sobre las situaciones que están pasando..saludos desde mexico🇲🇽
Thank you for yet another masterpiece.
Literal straight propaganda, it was disgusting
A sick horse does better masterpieces, if you know what I mean.
@Craig Pomeroy They would if angry Americans boycotted them.
@Craig Pomeroy Actually, they do. They just don't see it the same way you and some of the others do.
I would suggest they have a lot more compassion for their brothers and sisters than you and your ilk do.
And I guarantee they don't want you as a fan.
@@coyotelightning6881 Thanks For The Views💙🇺🇸
Funny people are just finding out about this song and The Killers now. Been a fan for years and this song is heartbreaking and true. They're the best!!🎶
My sorrow is deep and wide....this is our shame.
It’s not getting better.
I know. It sucks. Seems like everyone is goin insane. We need to chill and learn again to share and love
it wont...
@@emersoncoy8395
Stop it.
Emerson Coy the only barrier is the people of the world
@@keirandunwoodie8138
EXACTLY!!!!
Edit: Actually with all the action happening these days, I don't think the barrier is the people. I think the barrier is the fear within the people.
I'm in tears.
I’m in rainbows.
I’m not crying you’re crying
Ok we’re both crying
i'm not
I'm not
Nope, only you are
ok soygirl
Only morons cry to this
Beautiful song. Powerful video. Changed my perspective.
