Many people are not too found of The Killers anymore, but I still have plenty of room in my heart from them. Either way, no one can deny the brilliance that is “When You Were Young”. Still till this day the song sounds as urgent, and epic as it did when I first heard it. It is without a doubt one of the best songs of the decade.
Noisettes agree with the notion that the songs kicks ass on all cylinders and covered it for BBC’s Live Lounge. The Noisettes are an indie band from London that you should totally check out if you like what they did to The Killers classic. Shingai Shoniwas’ soulful vocals really give the track a totaly different feel. There are soft backup vocals from backup singers over delicate strings that totally transform the song into their own. They even changed the lyrics! This is a brilliant cover, totally worth a spot in your itunes collection 🙂 .
Brandon would be proud!
