| Brandon Flowers – Welcome To Fabulous Las Vegas Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Since Brandon is a rather fervent Springsteen fan, I definitely think "You woke up in the rusted frame Of a burned out old DeVille" is a tip of the hat to "Thunder Road": "There were ghosts in the eyes of all the boys you sent away They haunt this dusty beach road in the skeleton frames of burned out Chevrolets" Considering that Brandon has expressed his appreciation for that particular song (and got to perform it live with Bruce himself...HOW MUCH BETTER COULD LIFE GET?! lol), I doubt it's a coincidence. Great way to set the atmosphere for the album...so many of the songs on Flamingo are stories, and "Thunder Road" is, to me at least, perhaps the most beautiful and well-crafted narrative song in rock history. I wonder if there will be a music video for this. It's very cinematic and grand just listening to it...it would make for a good one. |
