One More from Imploding
August 09th, 2021 by John Mansfield
Friday will be the release of the Killers’ next album, Pressure Machine, so here is one more highlight from Imploding the Mirage.
Here is a link to a video for the opening track, “My Own Soul’s Warning.” Three questions for the listener and viewer: Who is the singer addressing when he says “I just wanted to get back to where you are”? Where is he or she? And wouldn’t it be cool if you presented your recommend to enter the temple and it was examined by Bro. Flowers serving at the desk that day, wearing the same clothes from the end of this video, tuxedo labels and all?

I mean, considering Flowers is LDS, it’s pretty clear who he’s addressing in the chorus. Considering context clues in that particular video, this is like a rock-n’-roll version of ‘O My Father’, which is actually delightful. As a call for repentance, this song is a home run.
Also, yes. That tux is A+.
