There's Only One Way...

To judge a band.

It's true though , isn't it? If you're a big fan, the number one hits are nothing. The good bands are the ones that can make amazing songs, that aren't released and that don't become huge.

In simple terms, it's the b-sides and unreleased tracks we need to keep our eyes on. And it's one particular unheard of track I'll be talking about here. Yes, it's The Killers. And yes, I'm rabid over it.

It's called Replaceable. It was written backa round 2002, I think. That's a couple of years before The Killers got big with the release of Hot Fuss. And, Brandon's voice sounds awesome! It's obviously Brandon, but you can tell he's a little younger from his voice. The song itself is beautiful(I'm love song-obsessed!), the lyrics are amazing. Here ya go-

Pick you up later on
What to do?
It doesn't matter
'cause you get what you want
Through and through
And if you shatter everything
That we've got
Will you call me on occasion?
If you like it or not
Oh no

So turn it up
Take me down from the wall
It doesn't matter
'cause you get what you want
After all
And now you've shattered everything
That we had
And you call me on occasion
Just to see how I am
I'm hanging in

But now time teaches me to pretend
It doesn't matter
'cause you get what you want
In the end
And now you've shattered everything
He looks a bit like me

Replaceable
It's cynical
Call me useless; just you wait
Put me down and call it fate
Broken bridges
Wasted hate
So just stand beside your man
The boy ain't wrong
Act like I never turned you on
All I do is cry

And soon you'll find
You're all alone
You call me on the telephone
Who'd have thought that you'd regret
All those evil things you said
Now as friends
We say goodbye
I think there's something in my eye

Replaceable
It's cynical
Call me useless; just you wait
Put me down and call it fate
Broken bridges
Wasted hate
So just stand beside your man
The boy ain't wrong
Act like i never turned you on
All I do is cry

And you watched me die
At least a thousand times
But it's great to hear you're doing fine
Tonight
Too late to fight
But you've got inside this naive head of mine
Now time goes by
You knew you would
You knew you would
I need to understand
Replaceable

Amazing, aren't they? I just realised, "It Doesn't Matter" would make a pretty good song title. Apologies if that's hard to read, but I think super short sentences add drama to song lyrics.

*sigh*, I can't stop listening to Replaceable. And it's annoying, since it's not on iTunes or CDs. so I'm watching it on YouTube. Seriously guys, listen to it. It will blow you away. It certainly blew me away, just as The Killers never ceise to do to me. Brandon has got some amazing lyrical mind going on...Because, Taylor Swift can write love songs until the day she dies, but it's the awful lyrics that take away the magic. Everyone writes love songs, but few people can actually write good love songs. Somehow, Brandon has that quality. At least, I think he does. Maybe the fact that I <33333 him makes his love songs more profound.

So, tell me what you think. About the lyrics, about the song, anything! Comment like you mean it! <
