I'm speechless. I think most of us are used to forgiving singers that become the weakest part of a band when you see them live. But this... he could eat up the whole band, the stage and the audience if he wanted to.
This song is about a magic town in Mexico (some of old style towns in Mexico are called pueblos mágicos because they are colonial style). This town is about 1 hour far from the frontier with the US in Arizona. I’m from Sonora. In the downtown of Magdalena de Kino there is a kiosko and there you can see Padre Francisco Kino’s corpse (most bones). Every year on october people do mandas and procesiones from Nogales, Sonora or Santa Ana, Sonora walking to pay favors to San Francisco de Asís, and usually there is music and a big fest around the town. I recomend you percherones de carne asada and gorditas de nata 😊
que orgullo ser de Sonora, yo soy de Hermosillo y que alguien de este nivel haga una cancion de un pueblo de mi natal Sonora me hace saber que no estamos tan exiliados jaja te la rifaste Brandon
Please don't tell me I can't make it It ain't gonna do me any good And please don't offer me your modern methods I'm fixing to carve this out of wood From Nogales to Magdalena There are 60 miles of sacred road And the promises made to those who venture San Francisco will lift your load In the land of old Sonora A shallow river valley cries The summer left her without forgiveness It's mirrored in her children's eyes Prodigal sons and wayward daughters Carry mandas that they might Be delivered from the depths of darkness And born again by candlelight And born again by candlelight Blisters on my feet, wooden rosary I felt them in my pocket as I ran A bullet in the night A Federales' light San Francisco, do you understand? Tell him that I made the journey And tell him that my heart is true I’d like his blessing of forgiveness before the angels send it through And I will know that I am clean now And I will dance and the band will play In the old out to cantina Cause we’ll runneth over the ancient clay And if I should fall to temptation when I return to evil throes From Nogales to Magdalena As a two time beggar I will go where I know I can be forgiven The broken heart of Mexico The broken heart of Mexico The broken heart of Mexico
I recently move 2 hours from Magdalena city, here in Mexico, and yesterday this song went viral, basically nobody here knew about this song and they are very flattered that Brandon wrote this song about his visit to this city and Nogales years ago, what it’s great it’s that I have seen coments from older people who doesn’t even know who is Brandon least the killers, sharing, this video but with subtitles. Love Mexico and happy they found out about this piece of art just like flamingo album. Ps. I’m soon to know Magdalena and Nogales, 🙌🏽

My grandma was born and lived in magdalena till she was 18 due to the drought and came to San Luis Río Colorado. I loooove this song. Magdalena is such a cute town
This song is about the town I'm from, I get chills when I listen to this song. He has it all spot on, I have made mandas, and I've walked to San Fransisco's shrine a few times. This song definitely motivates me to finish the walk when I feel like giving up, I get chills from listening to it. :)
Thank you Brandon I made that pilgrimage for 42 years, it's so enlightening how you are amazingly spiritual in all your music 🎶. It is such a blessing you wrote this😇Thank you
I live in tucson,az and weekends I always go to Magdalena to visit my grandmother. And every year my family take the walk from Nogales to the church in Magdalena, then party and celebrate. :D
I had lost dad, He was my best friend. His music inspired me to live and become better. Been listening to Killers ever since the last 9 years and Brandon's two solo albums are so heart felt.His mix of Southern, Folk and Pop Rock just makes it for me. Lots of love from India.
Bosco 2002 I'm very sorry for your loss, bother, and I know what you feel, Killers' songs mean so much to me as well, their songs transmit so many emotions! GET WELL SOON BROTHER, greetings to India from México! :D
I discovered this song recently, and love this acoustic version too!! When I was a little girl my Mom had a beautiful hand tooled Mexican leather purse... I remember being obsessed with it, tracing the details with my finger for hours... I recently bought my own Mexican leather handbag, with ornate crosses on each side... I call it my Magdalena bag because of this song....
One reason I adore Brandon Flowers is because he has this way of writing songs that really capture your interest. With songs like these, you feel the warmth spread through your heart. While I absolutely love the album version, I think this acoustic version adds more emotion. :)
He has a voice I just enjoy immensely. There is beauty in it that you just don't come across all the time. Passionate, much like when Freddie Mercury sang like an angel.
Yo tambien soy Sonorense de Hermosillo y Magdalena es un pueblo muy bonito, me encanta esta cancion! I'm from Sonora, drove pass Magdalena so many times, love this song!
Si alguien de los comentarios que es de Sonora no ha vivido la experiencia de ir caminado o peregrinando a Magdalena, se los recomiendo es una experiencia increíble así tal como lo cuenta Brandon, quién guste puede vivirla con nosotros, partiendo de Cananea a Magdalena, sin detenerse son 24 horas, descansando y sacando cotorreo salimos el viernes en la tarde y llegamos a Magdalena domingo a medio día 😊 11 años caminando y contando 🚶🏻🚶🏻 es una gran experiencia inolvidable 😊
Went to Magdalena in 2018 for work with Agnico Eagle, the only town in Mexico I’ve stayed. It was a bright and loving little town, lots of music! Coworkers there love this song!! God bless!!
How could ten people not like this video... His voice is so beautiful and his falcetto is even better, he is one of the best singers i have ever heard!
Muchas gracias Brandon por cantarle a nogales sonora a Magdalena a México en la caminata a pie de San Ramón asta Magdalena por las mandas k hacen los mexicanos a pie a ver a San Francisco viva mexico
Lotus Bloom Meditation: July 10, 2022) I had the 'Lotus Bloom' while in meditation at my childhood home in Spokane, WA at 12:06am in the early morning. It was blissful, very high frequency, worked with the Christos energy from April 18- July 23, 2022 (very intense), the bloom was golden yellow
I'm so glad The Killers haven't broken up. Imagine if The Killers weren't a band. This would be an effort. I'm a huge fan. They're my second favorite band. Hire a new band, Brandon!
Beautiful song about my land of Sonora, thank you for this song dedicated to this beautiful journey from Nogales to Magdalena to pay the mandas to San Francisco de Asis (saint who speak to animals while he lived)
I've seen the Killers live a few times and pretty much every time Brandon's voice has never sounded that good which is why i've always thought of them as an studio band only but listening to this has made me think his voice has developed massively since i last heard him sing live.
Nogales here true and proud and yes the walk (la caminata) will lift your load and lift your spirit because for one day you know what will power and true sacrifice feels like
Thx for this song bro i from sonora and this song is unique and explaint abaut the mandas to the peopke do it walk 60 miles from nogales to magdalena nice song
What a Great song especially coming from the border town of Nogales (45 minutes from Magdalena) great job. Everyone whos walked that long stretch can appreciate this song. ;)
@Rofanchu the song is about the people from the town of Magdalena, in Mexico, every year they make a pilgrimage of many miles to revere their patron saint San Francisco, and the hardships they endure during their journey
I love how he always looks a little helpless and doesn't seem to know what to do with his arms or where to look. Makes him even more adorable :D
He is fucking on point live and acoustic.
@Brandon Flowers is this for real??? 🤯
"I heart rootbeer floats-"
God, I love him so much.
that was cringe
I'm speechless. I think most of us are used to forgiving singers that become the weakest part of a band when you see them live. But this... he could eat up the whole band, the stage and the audience if he wanted to.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Brandon seems nervous on stage but when he starts singing it goes away, amazing performer, talented singer with incredible voice and lovely Man, 😎🥰
Brandon desperately needs an acoustic album
His voice really shines in these acoustic performances 😀
This song makes me cry because I grew up in Nogales Sonora and having one of my favorite music artists sing about Magdalena
i love it

I recomend you percherones de carne asada and gorditas de nata 😊
No its about Peyote
He's just fantastic. His acoustic sounds just as amazing as the original version
He has a slight awkwardness that works. Not many people can pull that off without looking stupid on stage. Brandon Flowers is amazing. =3
he’s had that since day 1 lol
"I will go where I know I can be forgiven" gets me everytime
I love Brandon's solo sound as much as I love him in Killers! He's evolved musically so much. Amazing and creative guy
que orgullo ser de Sonora, yo soy de Hermosillo y que alguien de este nivel haga una cancion de un pueblo de mi natal Sonora me hace saber que no estamos tan exiliados jaja te la rifaste Brandon
ME SORPRENDE MUCHO EL IMPACTO DE MEXICO EN LOS VIDEOS Y CANCIONES DE THE KILLERS... SALUDOS DESDE EL SALVADOR HERMANO LATINO
Yo soy de Magdalena y justo hoy se celebran estas fiestas ✨
This album gave me the courage to repent and find God multiple times.
'I know I can be forgiven, a broken heart in Mexico'
Please don't tell me I can't make it
It ain't gonna do me any good
And please don't offer me your modern methods
I'm fixing to carve this out of wood
From Nogales to Magdalena
There are 60 miles of sacred road
And the promises made to those who venture
San Francisco will lift your load
In the land of old Sonora
A shallow river valley cries
The summer left her without forgiveness
It's mirrored in her children's eyes
Prodigal sons and wayward daughters
Carry mandas that they might
Be delivered from the depths of darkness
And born again by candlelight
And born again by candlelight
Blisters on my feet, wooden rosary
I felt them in my pocket as I ran
A bullet in the night
A Federales' light
San Francisco, do you understand?
Tell him that I made the journey
And tell him that my heart is true
I’d like his blessing of forgiveness before the angels send it through
And I will know that I am clean now
And I will dance and the band will play
In the old out to cantina
Cause we’ll runneth over the ancient clay
And if I should fall to temptation when I return to evil throes
From Nogales to Magdalena
As a two time beggar
I will go where I know I can be forgiven
The broken heart of Mexico
The broken heart of Mexico
The broken heart of Mexico
My name is Magdalena (:
he's. just. so. good.
His mouth is just.. beautiful!
I recently move 2 hours from Magdalena city, here in Mexico, and yesterday this song went viral, basically nobody here knew about this song and they are very flattered that Brandon wrote this song about his visit to this city and Nogales years ago, what it’s great it’s that I have seen coments from older people who doesn’t even know who is Brandon least the killers, sharing, this video but with subtitles.
Love Mexico and happy they found out about this piece of art just like flamingo album.
Ps. I’m soon to know Magdalena and Nogales, 🙌🏽
Rodrigo Martinez when you get to Nogales you need to try the tacos de perro..
thechemist26 oh I will , thanks for the tip
thechemist26 tacos de perro? Are you serious? Dios mio! 😣😢
Archangel lmao, must be a nickname. I dont think is legal to sell dogs tacos here in mexico
There is something about hearing your name in a song...
M G whatever maggie
You're weird mike
Sooo your name is Mexico?
It’s a magic town in Mexico (some of old style towns in Mexico are called pueblos mágicos because they are colonial style), close to the frontier with the US. I’m from Sonora.

I recomend you percherones de carne asada and gorditas de nata 😊
Its better when he mentions literally the town i live and grew Up in (Nogales)
This song reminds me of my Dad, he grew up in Magdalena and took me there all the time as child, I miss him...
My grandma was born and lived in magdalena till she was 18 due to the drought and came to San Luis Río Colorado. I loooove this song. Magdalena is such a cute town
Gracias gracias por esta canción. Me encanto. hasta se me puso la piel chinita al escucharla Que orgullo para Sonora para el pueblo de Magdalena.

I felt them in my pocket as I ran.... my favorite part!
I'm an atheist, but I love this song, it's so sincere and passionate.
There’s something about the energy of this song that I just love. The lyrics he’s singing work really well with the instrumental
Lotus Bloom Meditation: July 10, 2022) I had the 'Lotus Bloom' while in meditation at my childhood home in Spokane, WA at 12:06am in the early morning. It was blissful, very high frequency, worked with the Christos energy from April 18- July 23, 2022 (very intense), the bloom was golden yellow
he's such a perfect human being.
His singing voice just gets better with age
What an incredible voice he has!
I become addicted to this song. Just can't stop to listen it like a Pogo....:D
10 years already!! I was so in love with Brandon in this
Love-love the way he sings!
I'm so glad The Killers haven't broken up. Imagine if The Killers weren't a band. This would be an effort. I'm a huge fan. They're my second favorite band. Hire a new band, Brandon!

ALL THE TALENT YOU NEED IS SINGING UP AT THE FRONT, YOU CAN'T MISS HIM REALLY!
I've seen the Killers live a few times and pretty much every time Brandon's voice has never sounded that good which is why i've always thought of them as an studio band only but listening to this has made me think his voice has developed massively since i last heard him sing live.
Fabulous song... Considering I hate most everything please accept this as my highest praise.
Hugs
