I can dig the acoustic version of this. the lyrics are kinda touching ... and I though I'm a straight guy, I will admit that Brandon is an attractive man
Change your ways while you're young Boy, one day you'll be a man Oh girl, he'll help you understand Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it Looking back at sunsets on the East side We lost track of the time Dreams aren't what they used to be Some things sat by so carelessly Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it And someone is calling my name From the back of the restaurant And someone is playing a game In the house that I grew up in And someone will drive her around Down the same streets that I did On the same streets that I did Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it Oh no, oh, no, no, no Oh no, oh, no, no, no
I honestly have this emotional connection with this song I have trouble explaining, I just turned 14 and I had to spend it in isolation due to covid and as you know my I didnt get to have a 8th grade graduation either and it honestly hurts that I'll never experience it but we gotta smile like we mean it to get through it, recently I started doing lsd and during one of my trips I was looking in the mirror and my reflection was just scolding me about who I've become and who I am and was telling me to get my shit together and while coming down this song came on my spotify and I was staring at my ceiling and reminiscing about how great my life was the few months before the world went to hell and the words just spoke to me. Idk I just wanted to say that
14 is a powerful age for your music taste, it’s when we start listening to “emotional music” whether it be sad, happy, or even angry, at that age it just happens to resonate with people the most. I sure as hell wouldn’t enjoy listening to the killers if I hadn’t found them when I was 14. Yea it’s strange at that age trying to find out why it resonates with you as much as it does, but when you get older it’ll make more sense to you, I know it did for me.
Save some face, you know you've only got one Change your ways while you're young Boy, one day you'll be a man Oh girl, he'll help you understand Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it Looking back at sunsets on the East side We lost track of the time Dreams aren't what they used to be Some things sat by so carelessly Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it And someone is calling my name From the back of the restaurant And someone is playing a game In the house that I grew up in And someone will drive her around Down the same streets that I did On the same streets that I did Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it Smile like you mean it Oh no, oh no no no Oh no, oh no no no
you know what i really think is missing in these acoustic performances big time? backing vocals... i mean, at least a second harmony voice in the chorus every now and then.. it adds a lot of power. and given the fact that brandon was ill that day (so they say?) it would've been even better for the sake of the performance to put a mic in front of dave.
Usually I do preferer the acoustic version of a song over the original version. But in this song, it's not the case. I feel like there's something missing in this version.
he is so clearly sick in this one - you can hear it, especially when he's singing words including m/n ("smile", "mean", the "oh no" part) and his nasal cavities must've been pretty stuffed, which is why his voice appears to be pretty flat while he's singing. Brandon wasn't a phenomenal singer back then anyway, which has also a lot to do with nerves, technique and stage fright (as the only time he took singing lessons was before battle born as far as I know). it's incredible how much better he's gotten.
I don't care if this wasn't their best performance, this song will always make me feel something i've never been able to explain c:
he was in pain from all the hot sauce he drank and poured in his eyes before the performance
it makes me feel aroused
Kylee Webb epic
Amazing performance still
Its my favourite cause he wears a certain vulnerability on his face and that hits me in my feels.
2024, and still selling out full arenas around the globe.
Despite having lost it and created nothing new worthy more than a decade ago.
I just wanna give him a hug
i wanna do a lot more than just that
This version is awesome.
I play guitar and I play this version for my girlfriend every time I want head😊
The nostalgia is strong in this one
😍
you can tell he’s in pain because before this performance he actually drank a lot of hot sauce and poured it in his eyes, also he roasted his penis
i recently found out about this one, and i made a cover of it, i simply love it so much
feel like these videos are little gems
Missy Jensen they absolutely are!
i feel bad for brandon he’s hurting in this video because he drank so much hot sauce and poured it in his eyes and got his weenie roasted
I remember I cried the first time I watched this video I love this song so much :( ♡♡♡ I can't explain my love for this wonderful band
brandon is cute
I used to be a cook at hooters right after high-school and this album was in constant rotation. This is the main song we'd put on replay.
Great song! 🗿
G Am7 Em (first part) G/B C G D/F# (chorus) D Em C (during the solo) Am Em Am Em Am B C D (last part, restaurant stuff xD)
@PixelPops yes, he was sick as fuck it seems
@PixelPops one step down ;)
fun fact brandon’s penis fell off before this performance
damn, i had this album on heavy rotation while drunkenly making my way around sacramento when i lived there
i love this song, and i love this band!!
the Killers are the BEST!!!
I swear to God this will be my future baby's lullaby whether my husband likes it or not 😂
Mine will be Hiding tonight by Alex Turner... I understand what you mean it!
Seeing as its a song about Paternal abuse I wouldn't advise that : )
Victimized Idiot I wish I could find a wife like you
Lucas Hulsey how bout let's get married, watcha say? HAHAHAHA 😂😂😂 let's name our kids Brandon, Ronnie, Mark and Dave
@@victimizedidiot1612 But how old are ya? 😂 I freaking love the killers
Brandon looks a little shy... he looks so adorable I just want to kiss him!
i wanna do more than just that
dave koenig man....best musician ever in my opinion. pure genius
brandon better
Aww bless young Killers!
i cried because i want to snuggle little brandon
Love this version of this song !!!!!!
brandon’s making me feel funny
Love that you express you and found those who are willing to be there for you!
I don't have words for it... wonderful!
When we were young!
i wanna snuggle young brandon🥺🥰
To who ever uploaded this, THANK YOU C':
Hot Fuss and Battle Born are both wonderful albums imo
Hard to find someone who can actually like both the old and the new, likewise...
yes! i love all their albums
hot sauce is my favorite i like to drink it and pour it in my eyes sometimes, burns a little, actually a lot but i like pain
Sam’s Town
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things sat by so carelessly...♥♥♥
I can dig the acoustic version of this. the lyrics are kinda touching
... and I though I'm a straight guy, I will admit that Brandon is an attractive man
I used to party to this album back in my ramblin days. I really like this version of this song. It's my favorite along with replaceable
hot sauce is my favorite i like to drink it and pour it in my eyes sometimes it burns a little, actually a lot but i like pain
Brandon was sick and he still sounded great!
aww poor bb🥺
10 fucking years ago, damn
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Looking back at sunsets on the East side
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things sat by so carelessly
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
And someone is calling my name
From the back of the restaurant
And someone is playing a game
In the house that I grew up in
And someone will drive her around
Down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Oh no, oh, no, no, no
Oh no, oh, no, no, no
love the killers!!!
i
A great, best version. And I mean it.

fun fact brandon’s penis fell off before he performed here
I was 12 when it came out and felt things
This song came out when I was about your age. I'd say you hit the nail on the head. Different circumstances sure, same vibes though.
excelent!!!!
i love it
you're the best
THE KILLERS ARE THE BEST BAND EVER
He's a real Killer! Outstanding!!!!!
i’d let him kill me because he’s cute🥺🥰
thank you to The Killers for this wonderful song.
Thumbs up ! It's my favorite song they sing :-)
Eu tô chocada com esses bebês! Que coisa mais maravilhosa!!♡
beautiful
Love it.
step one: say, this is a song called smile like you mean it. step two: huge shit eating grin. step three: sing the best version of the best song ever.
i feel like he drank a lot of hot sauce and poured it in his eyes before this performance
Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh girl, he'll help you understand
Smile like you mean it

baby brandon🥺🥰
you know what i really think is missing in these acoustic performances big time? backing vocals... i mean, at least a second harmony voice in the chorus every now and then.. it adds a lot of power. and given the fact that brandon was ill that day (so they say?) it would've been even better for the sake of the performance to put a mic in front of dave.
bor ist der geil.der macht besoffen ok ich bins schon vorher aber der st geil
ahhh i brandon is soooo amazing
i’m 💦🌊💧
The video was uploaded 10 years ago. But this performance, is about 13 years old.
Guns n Roses - One in a Million, particularly the bass line
best period of the killers.
I keep coming back to this video, I might need help lmao
Smile like you mean it.
@NewWendyCann...he has what I call a subliminal beauty. The kind that transcends the spoken word and can only be sung.
brandon is beautiful like a flower because he is
love brandon flowers he looks so cute when hes nervous too :)
aww my brandon🥺🥰 he’s baby
mayo 2020
@0o0o099999 The bassist is playing the rhythm guitar, they don't have one and for acoustic version a second guitar would be helpful.
#MissedYaaa
Anyone can tell me what are the cords of this version, there are different than the original and i dont find them. Thanks
Pretty sure it's "slide by so carelessly."
The tags say "Somebody Told Me". Hee hee.
Is it just me, or does this sound quite a bit like The Smiths?
It's like Morrissey singing an REM song
I’m not a big Killers fan, but I want this live performance on vinyl. Can someone tell me when and where this was filmed?
This is so heavy.
brandon isn’t that heavy he looks kind of thin
Yeah, I know what you mean. I had high hopes. "Woah, an indie band with a great second record!" and then they did... well, the rest.
Usually I do preferer the acoustic version of a song over the original version. But in this song, it's not the case.
I feel like there's something missing in this version.
Fucking good!..
mad
10 years ago????
You're fucking insane the. Battle Born is amazing.
yes
The problem is that the song' signature hook is the keyboard line - hell, a backup violinist playing the line would have done wonders...
Look like it's from the early '90s.
it’s from 1865 actually
Those 8 people can't smile like they mean it...
anyone know how old he is in these videos? 24-25?
22 or 23 probably
I know this comment is about 9 years late, but he was probably about 23 because I’m pretty sure this was 2004
@TVGirl96 hahahaha sweet
I never knew Andy guitar was in the killers
Anyone know the chords to this???
10 people smiled and didn't mean it
he is so clearly sick in this one - you can hear it, especially when he's singing words including m/n ("smile", "mean", the "oh no" part) and his nasal cavities must've been pretty stuffed, which is why his voice appears to be pretty flat while he's singing. Brandon wasn't a phenomenal singer back then anyway, which has also a lot to do with nerves, technique and stage fright (as the only time he took singing lessons was before battle born as far as I know). it's incredible how much better he's gotten.
aww poor brandon🥺 he’s still perfect to me❤️
The oc
Historical and nostalgic The OC❤️
who wouldnt?
Brandom looked like me
marry me
humble
do you think brandon’s ding dong is big or small
@@KyleeWebb-fw5qw hahahaha random!
