For Reasons Unknown

“Any of you people ever loved somebody? Sometimes it comes very quickly, very easily. As easy as the way a beautiful English girl’s hair falls across her shoulder. Sometimes it disappears just as quick. You wake up one morning, the butterflies stop fluttering. But you want it back and you want to fight for it. You want to breathe that fire again! So you call for it. You call out.” - Brandon Flowers (Lead Singer of The Killers), 2009

For some reason I’m addicted to the song "For Reasons Unknown by The Killers". I was first made to listen to the song by my friend Joe. He was drunk messaging me at some ungodly hour at night, going on about this and that and he sent me this video of The Killers live at the Royal Albert Hall (Link at the end of the article if you’re interested). Despite the half awake/half asleep haze of 1am I knew immediately that this song was important. It’s a earthy song about love fading away and not really knowing the reason why. It’s also just quintessentially The Killers sound and I love The Killers. There’s a good chance that if you like this song you’ll like most of the rest of The Killers work. To me, this song represents both the band and the feeling of losing love perfectly.

I know that feeling, how confusing and weird it can be but you just know. One moment you just know that you no-longer love someone and that’s ok. Mostly. It’s like losing your favorite toy as a kid, your sad but you know you’ll never get it back, so what’s the point in crying. But toys don’t have feelings or hearts. Hearts that don’t deserve to be broken and you don’t want to break but feel like you have to. You want that little toy rabbit back but you’ll never get it, the maid took it home for her kids. It doesn’t belong to you anymore. Just like for reasons unknown, love doesn’t belong to you anymore.
