SHAZAM!

Oh shit.

You guys don't understand.

I have never heard a song called Runaway/Runaways/Refugee that I didn't love.

The National
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Kanye
Del Shannon

Yeah. Those are definitely good songs. Is your favorite band The Runaways?

I have...never heard anything by them, I don't think.

(But you are just proving my point, fucking hell the bands you listed songs by those names? )

The National's Runaway is probably their most boring song.

The National's Runaway is probably their most boring song.

probably my least favourite song on High Violet. Not sure why they open shows with it.

 

[BoMac]

The new single, Runaways, is premiering tomorrow on KROQ in the U.S. and Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1 in the U.K.

I shall be listening to some Kevin and Bean tomorrow morning.

I like it on the album a great deal, but it's a bizarre show opener. Really fell flat when they opened with it at fucking Lollapalooza of all places.

Here's hoping Runaways doesn't completely sink my interest in Battle Born the way Human did Day & Age.

Maybe I'm just blind, but I can't find anywhere that shows what time these guys are on the air.

The song will premiere at 7am Pacific. Kevin and Bean are normally on 5am to 9am Pacific.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

It's already out there. I listened to it earlier.

Just do a search on Google or Twitter and it will show up.

It's definitely a Killers lead single. Big and bombastic. The song felt kind of busy to me on first listen, but I liked its energy and it was definitely filled with hooks. I remember digging the familiar piano intro. I think I like it, though I'll have to hear it some more.

EDIT: Here's a link that popped up on Google. Listen: The Killers' 'Runaways' debuts online | Gigwise

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy, because I really didn't feel like that about anything on their last album!

 

[Danny Boy]

I wonder if it smells like freedom when you swear on an unborn baby's head?

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so happy, because I really didn't feel like that about anything on their last album!

Yep.. me too.. last album was a meh.. This is just great.. I have it on repeat all morning so far.



I can't believe I will get to see them perform new songs and old before the new album comes out!

[Catman]

The Killers "Runaways" - YouTube

I like it.

^seal of approval

 

[bono_212]

At first I was kind of like, "Well this is nice, but I don't know that it's all that great a lead single" then there was that awesome little synth solo and I was like, "Oh, hello!" and then it turned into a fucking Tom Petty song near the end with all those "Oh OH OH OHs" and now I'm all like, Yes, let's hear this again.

 

[bono_212]

Also, I'm going to start making all vows upon the head of my unborn child.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Yeah I started listening and I wasn't really crazy about it but I like it.

Whatever was in the teaser trailer though... that is gonna be fire.

 

[intedomine]

Wasn't blown away by it after one listen

Wouldn't sound out of place on Flowers' brilliant solo album, Flamingo.

 

[LemonMelon]

Good song, the closest they've gotten to replicating When You Were Young.

It's pretty much Beautiful Day (listen to those opening piano notes, seriously) and Heat of the Moment spliced together, but I'll gladly take that over the cheesy Numa Numa synths and meaningless blather of Human.

 

[cobl04]

It's undeniably catchy. Got a fair bit of Bruce about it. Very 80s.

[iron yuppie]

Wow, Flowers sounds exactly like the leader singer from Keane in this song. Exactly like him.

No he doesn't . Being a a big fan of Keane and have seen them live several times. Twice last month.
