    The song makes me sad just by itself but this version specifically makes me feel so many things. It's so beautiful I can't even begin to describe how wonderful this song is. It's nostalgic, sad, but also heartwarming and heartbreaking.

    What a beautiful version of a killers anthem. His voice has such a vulnerability about it that brought a tear to my eye. He could sing the phone book listings and I would be smitten 😍😘

    You sit there in your heartache
    Waiting on some beautiful boy to
    To save you from your old ways
    You play forgiveness
    Watch it now, here he comes
    He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
    But he talks like a gentlemen
    Like you imagined when you were young
    Can we climb this mountain?
    I don't know
    Higher now than ever before
    I know we can make it if we take it slow
    Let's take it easy
    Easy now, watch it go
    We're burning down the highway skyline
    On the back of a hurricane that started turning
    When you were young
    When you were young
    And sometimes you close your eyes
    And see the place where you used to live
    When you were young
    They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet
    You don't have to drink right now
    But you can dip your feet
    Every once in a little while
    You sit there in your heartache
    Waiting on some beautiful boy to
    To save you from your old ways
    You play forgiveness
    Watch it now, here he comes
    He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
    But he talks like a gentlemen
    Like you imagined when you were young
    (Talks like a gentlemen, like you imagined)
    When you were young
    I said he doesn't look a thing like Jesus
    He doesn't look a thing like Jesus
    But more than you'll ever know

    i paid the killers little attention until i heard this, though my 61-year-old dad raved about them. stumbled upon this on the radio whilst driving into work at during the early hours. it took my breath away. the voice and the guitar - it's all pretty special.
