The Killers - When You Were Young (Official Music Video)

My boyfriend who passed away a few weeks ago sang this song when we were at a bar doing karaoke one night. Since he sang it that night, I had been trying to figure out the name of it; I finally came across it tonight. The song has so much meaning to me. We were together for five years and were both young when he sung this song. Now I just watch the video of him in my phone when he sang this song that night at the bar, wishing he was still alive, wishing that we could go back in time to when we were young. R.I.P. Chris, I'll always love you.

You truly don’t appreciate the intensity of this song until you’ve come back to it a decade later, having lived some life and experienced some heartbreak.

It's 2023. I come back to this song sometimes and close my eyes to remember when life was a little easier. I hope everyone is safe and ok.❤

When you haven’t heard it in years it just hits different.

"Sometimes you close your eyes and see the place where you used to live" kills me every time

I'm 28 and the song hits harder and harder. I have a lot of regrets about decisions I made in my life don't waste your years guys, and enjoy everything with the people you love.

I remember this being one of the best songs in guitar hero to play and years later still love it this song was years ahead of it’s time.

The actors this video do such a great job. Brings tears to my eye every time. Love your woman with everything, men.

The legend says that the older you get the more depressed this song makes you...

As you get older, this song takes on new meaning and hit you harder. That's what makes this a classic.

Vivo a unos cuantos kilómetros de donde se grabo este video (Tlayacapan Morelos- México) y realmente es increíble ver cómo este video tiene ese toque especial que le caracteriza a la banda y al lugar en si, simplemente Perfecto y mágico! Gracias The Killers por este momento ❤️

Me and my son had tough times when he was young I was a single mum struggling but this song doesn’t remind me of those times. It reminds me of me and my boy playing guitar hero singing this song happy dancing it gives me shivers every time. My boy now a 26 year old man in love and settled and this song takes me straight back playing those cords and those times my number one favourite ever xx

the serenity of the part that says, "They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet. You don't have drink right now, but you can dip your feet, every once in the little while," in Guitar Hero was what drew me to this song. Now its nearly 8 years later and I haven't found anything as enchanting as that part. The Killers is one hell of a band.

I remember this came out when I was 15. Going to secondary school with no care in the world. Now I'm fast approaching 30. I miss the simplicity of youth and this song is a reminder of that. Really hits hard.

Thank you God for everything, every heartache, for every moment of love ❤.....

Lyrics: 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

Imagine walking into a tiny bar in some obscure town in Mexico and the killers are playing a set....

This song used to always be on in the morning on MTV while I was getting ready for school. Loved it ever since 😭

💜2024 And this gem continues to shine 💖💎🔥

Almost 30 years old and this song hits hard. Reminds me of all the good times I had growing up and all the people I went to school with and hung out with. I have no clue what most of them are up to these days. Fucking sad. We spent all them years growing up together and now we don’t even talk.
