“Runaways” by The Killers – The Song of the Week for 7/16/2012

“Runaways” by The Killers is the lead single from the upcoming album Battle Born, set for a September 18, 2012 release date

Genre: Alternative Rock, Indie Rock, Heartland rock, New Wave

The long wait is over; The Killers are back and no one is happier about it than me. “Runaways” is an instant hit and sounds very reminiscent of Brandon Flower’s solo material. Here is to the band reclaiming the title of one of the best bands on the planet!

“Let’s take a chance baby we can’t lose
Mean we’re all just runaways
I knew that when I met you, I’m not gonna let you runaway
I knew that when I held you, I wasn’t lettin’ go

We used to look at the stars and confess our dreams
Hold each other to the morning light
We used to laugh, now we only fight
Baby are you lonesome now?”
