    Today is May 20, 2023 and while everyday tasks are much, much harder to do, I'm still here on this ride with you beautiful people and listening to some good music as I type this. Thank you for all of the encouraging words. You are the best of humanity. Much love!

    “I don’t shine if you don’t shine” that lyric came to me this week as I was struggling with my upcoming graduation with a masters. My daughter who loved The Killers passed away a year and a half ago at 26. I don’t want all this attention because she didn’t get much fanfare for her pandemic graduation. But I feel like I got her permission with this song. Love you Lin - I’ll shine so you can shine

    May the sun shine warm upon your face;
    The rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
    May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

    LYRICS:
    On the corner of Main Street
    Just tryna keep it in line
    You say you wanna move on and
    You say I'm fallin' behind
    Can you read my mind?
    Can you read my mind?
    I never really gave up on
    Breakin' out of this two-star town
    I got the green light, I got a little fight
    I'm gonna turn this thing around
    Can you read my mind?
    Can you read my mind?
    The good old days, the honest man
    The restless heart, the Promised Land
    A subtle kiss that no one sees
    A broken wrist and a big trapeze
    Oh well, I don't mind if you don't mind
    'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
    Before you go
    Can you read my mind?
    It's funny how you just break down
    Waitin' on some sign
    I pull up to the front of your driveway
    With magic soakin' my spine
    Can you read my mind?
    Can you read my mind?
    The teenage queen, the loaded gun
    The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
    A southern drawl, a world unseen
    A city wall and a trampoline
    Oh well, I don't mind if you don't mind
    'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
    Before you jump
    Tell me what you find
    Can you read my mind?
    Slippin' in my faith until I fall
    He never returned that call
    Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
    I wanna breathe that fire again
    She said, "I don't mind, you don't mind
    'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine"
    Put your back on me, put your back on me
    Put your back on me
    The stars are blazing like rebel diamonds
    Cut out of the sun
    Can you read my mind?

So, I was pleasantly surprised when she covered it and took me instantly back to my school days. And thanks to Rose I'm re-listening their songs, lots of attachment and memories, happy ones that is. I'm rediscovering them all over again.

    The song “Read My Mind” by The Killers explores themes of longing, introspection, and the desire for connection. The lyrics depict a sense of restlessness and a yearning for something more than the current circumstances.
    The protagonist seems to be stuck in a small town (“two-star town”) and feels like they’re falling behind while others are moving on. They express a desire for change and a determination to break free from their current situation (“I never really gave up on breakin’ out of this two-star town”).
    Throughout the song, there’s a plea for understanding and connection, as well as a sense of vulnerability. Lines like “Can you read my mind?” and “Before you go, can you read my mind?” suggest a longing for someone to truly understand them and their feelings.
    The references to “the good old days,” “the restless heart,” and “the Promised Land” evoke nostalgia and a sense of longing for a better, more fulfilling life. The mention of a “teenage queen,” “loaded gun,” and “drop dead dream” suggests a sense of danger and excitement associated with youth and ambition.
    The chorus, “Oh well, I don’t mind if you don’t mind / ‘Cause I don’t shine if you don’t shine,” underscores the importance of mutual support and understanding in relationships.
    Overall, “Read My Mind” explores themes of longing, nostalgia, and the search for meaning and connection in life. It’s a song that speaks to the universal human experience of yearning for something more, whether it’s personal fulfillment, understanding, or companionship.

    • @riaunderwater
      @riaunderwater Před 8 lety

      +mrsuns10 I guess it's up to interpretation. When you listen to the lyrics "You say you want to move on, you say I'm falling behind" and "I got the green light, I got a little fight, I'm gonna turn this thing around", it sounds very much like coming to terms that a relationship is breaking. Maybe it's not necessarily a breakup song, but it could be interpreted as a post fight song. I dunno. It's just gorgeous.

    • @riaunderwater
      @riaunderwater Před 8 lety +4

      +ellzedd41 I can definitely see that point of view! Like I said, I totally see it both ways. I can see how it is the end of the road- a couple that had their ups and downs and despite being over, he's reminiscing and giving ode to the relationship. Maybe he's replaying the high points of the relationship, when it ended and what he should have said/done in that moment. However, what you said is very strong. Like I said, I can see it being up to interpretation. That's the beautiful thing about Brandon Flower's songwriting- it makes you feel things you didn't know were capable of being felt by using a complexly beautiful set of words.

    You say I'm falling behind
    Can you read my mind?
    Can you read my mind?
    I never really gave up on
    Breakin' out of this two-star town
    I got the green light
    I got a little fight
    I'm gonna turn this thing around
    Can you read my mind?
    Can you read my mind?
    The good old days, the honest man
    The restless heart, the Promised Land
    A subtle kiss that no one sees
    A broken wrist and a big trapeze
    Oh well, I don't mind, you don't mind
    Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
    Before you go, can you read my mind?
    It's funny how you just break down
    Waiting on some sign
    I pull up to the front of your driveway
    With magic soaking my spine
    Can you read my mind?
    Can you read my mind?
    The teenage queen, the loaded gun
    The drop dead dream, the Chosen One
    A southern drawl, the world unseen
    A city wall and a trampoline
    Oh well, I don't mind, you don't mind
    'Cause I don't shine if you don't shine
    Before you jump
    Tell me what you find
    When you read my mind
    Slipping in my faith until I fall
    He never returned that call
    Woman, open the door, don't let it sting
    I wanna breathe that fire again
    She said, I don't mind, you don't mind
    Cause I don't shine if you don't shine

    Put your back on me

    The Killers are so underrated. The music sounds way better than most popular music these days, the lyrics have way deeper meaning than most popular music these days and they generally have way better music than the stuff these days. I thank my parents for listening to them and giving me so much nostalgia with this band and overall introducing me to some of the best music.

      I noticed how most of the comments are wholesome and nostalgic. I remember this was the music for a old video. God knows what happened to thecarsall

    Eight years ago at college, a friend of mine and I put a lyric video of this song's song in the classroom video projector. Then we started to sing and act like if we were on stage.
    After some months, I framed that day as the moment that I started to stop being extremely shy; I just allowed myself to dance and sing for no reason. Six years after that, I attended a show of The Killers and ran into that same friend.
    It was a special moment when they sang this song at that concert.
