    I stumbled upon gem a few years back. A week later, I owned every piece of music The Kills made. They are everything I ever wanted rock to be. Their fuck-you attitudes, their strung out style, their incessant coolness, and most importantly, the way all that oozes out into their music which sounds perfectly underproduced and unpolished. This album is particularly moody. It's great for late night listening. I'm so glad there is still a band like this out there, putting a good name to rock and roll in a world where Nickleback and One Direction is considered good good music. Ya done good, VV and Hotel. Don't ever stop

    2024 and beyond. I'm 36 but this has always been my favorite genre of music. People talk about music of the past (70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s) . My favorite decade of just random music overall (across all genres) without a doubt has to be late 2000s to 2010s.

    On the edge of a dream that you have, had any body told you it’s not coming true...
    .. I hope the kills know that this is a song for the people searching to fill the empty holes in their lives. This song heals me. When I’m hopeless but feel I can keep going, I listen to this. I hope they know the impact of the lyrics, about the struggle of addiction. This song is not well known, and that’s why it’s so special. This has gotten me through the death of my father and my addiction through it all. It’s a powerful trait to have to reach into the uncomfortable places and open them up with your song, power, strength and femininity. Cut wide open about addiction and loneliness. You make a difference to the right people. Thank you

    "Let the weather have it's way with you" means the author won't be altering reality with whatever (person, drugs, alcohol) they used previously to protect them from life. Personally, You can hold on but I wouldn't waste your time".
    The part about "On the edge of a dream that you have, Has anybody ever told you it's not comin' true?" represents finally giving up the fantasy about the person and seeing the reality.

    I'm not even sure how I got to this video. It just randomly popped up in my suggestion box and I clicked it. One hour later after backtracking and watching/listening to this band's other work on here I think I'm officially in love.

      +1ls376 I just saw the movie, and was like "oh hey The Kills, sweet", they're pretty awesome you should definitely check out they're other songs. This song also fits perfectly with the end of the movie as it's about getting over a heroine addiction.

      +: Brody : I've definatly been checking out their other songs, very nice. I thought the movie was great also. Cant beat a good Indie movie with good sound track.
