The Killers - 'Runaways' (Music Video)
Check out above the music video for The Killers' brand new single "Runaways", from their upcoming fourth studio album entitled "Battle Born" due out on September 18th via Island/Vertigo!
Certainly "Runaways" was a grower! At first I was like, 'this ain't the 'instant' The Killers first single I was looking to jam this summer', and also, 'okay Brandon Flowers, why are you releasing one of your "Flamingo" tracks as the new The Killers single?', but after about 20 plays, I'm completely hooked on "Runaways". So if any of you are still on the fence about the band's new single just keep playing it, and try to get into the mood. As for the newly-premiered "Runaways" MV, it's a pretty simple, yet kinda awesome performance video. I'm sure Island Records were more than willing to put a higher budget on the table for the "Runaways" video - I mean, it's The Killers, hello! - but I'm thinking it was the band who wanted a simple video for the song in the first place. Must be that they like staying a tad 'indie'. In any case, I like the intensity of Brandon's singing in the vid, and the effects, and lights were cool as well.
What do you think of the video?
