Enterlude

I think obviously it's referencing to the hotel the album's name is based after, "We hope you enjoy your stay And it’s good to have you with us Even if it’s just for the day" as if the hotel's talking. But something else I noticed is that they went from, "Heaven aint close in a place like this." in STM, and in this they say, "It seems like heaven ain’t far away." There has to be a reference. This is an amazing song/intro.

btw, i haven't heard this on the album yet, just the VMA performance. I wont download the album.

this song makes me feel special its like you just checked into a hotel and then the killers are all there and theyre singing hoping that we enjoy the cd/our visit and yeah...the heaven thingy i think its like goodness is on its way because youre at samstown with teh killers and the killers equals luv =)

Sweet song. I like it; it's a good opening.

Good song. Gives the album a nice personal touch. The Killers have definitely found their sound.

I love this opener.

I didn;t understand why they didn't put it as the First Track?

it's like when you watch a TV program (or a film in some cases) and they show you like a small part, then they have the opening titles.

and then with exitlude they have the closing credits, and then another song, liek a wee snip that they sometimes have at the end of programs (hollyoaks for example)

It turns out that Brandon Flowers is a mormon and they believe that God is a person somewhere. This could make sense of lyrics like 'heaven ain't far away' and 'heaven ain't close in a place like this' from Somebody Told Me, because if God is out there then presumably heaven is a place that can be found on earth.

Brandon Flowers is morman?!
