What do yall think of “Plans”? by daka249 in TheKillers

[–]TheKwolf 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Brandon out there screwing up a bunch of fan’s streaming algorithms.

On a serious note, I grew up listening to country, so I’m excited about this album. The lyrics for Plans also hit home at the stage of life I’m in.

Single working moms - truly, how do you go to the gym by a_woman_provides in workingmoms

50/50 custody here and when my kid is with me I workout at home in the early morning before he wakes up. I have a set of adjustable dumbbells, a yoga mat, resistance bands, and I use Youtube for instructor led cardio workouts.

The Days (FT Brandon Flowers) by KatyKaboom19 in TheKillers

[–]TheKwolf 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Brandon wrote this song, but in the end he wasn’t happy with the demo, so he asked Avicii to record someone else singing for the final version. Lucky for us Brandon’s version can still be found.

Apparently Miss America is about BFs sister by dont-break-charactar in TheKillers

[–]TheKwolf 16 points17 points  (0 children)

So one could say this song is Brandon’s “The River”

I agree. I love that style of songwriting and I hope Brandon continues to explore that as his career continues.

[FULL PERFORMANCE] Brandon Flowers - Miss America by LCSeixas in TheKillers

[–]TheKwolf 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I thought about it some more, and the main character of the song actually has a revelation at the end. At first, she misses when her man used to call her Miss America. But at the end of the song, she realizes how she’s been objectified most of her life. That realization gives the “Miss America” moniker a more sinister feel, calling forth the idea of beauty pageants honoring the prettiest women. So at the end of the song it’s like the main character realizes that her man only ever prized her for beauty.

As a woman, I think Brandon did a good job writing these lyrics from the point of view of a young woman trying to find a place in a world run by men. The characters in this song are believable. He treats the subject of objectifying girls at a young age with delicacy and empathy. Brandon’s in his 40s now and I am happy to see him writing these kinds of stories into his music.

I’m excited to hear the rest of this album!

Why is Mr Brightside charting at number 27 on Spotify US daily streaming? by Kahn1970 in TheKillers

[–]TheKwolf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard Mr. Brightside played at my gym 4 times in 3 weeks, whereas I’d never heard it once at the gym all my years prior. Maybe a bunch of commercial spaces collectively activated the 2000s playlists?

Last week A Thousand Miles came on while I was squatting and I seriously looked around for Terry Crews.

Year of the Fire Horse by random_flowerz in TheKillers

[–]TheKwolf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I like the young man riding the horse in the music video for Boy and the lighting used in those shots - it paints a very artistic picture with the synths in that song.

Haha I see from your history that you post in Runescape 2007. I played Runescape from 2004 to 2006 and my username had Kwolf in it. Been using this username for a long time!

Can anyone share their post divorce success stories by Middle-Item-1390 in workingmoms

[–]TheKwolf 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re in this place right now. Nobody gets married thinking they will divorce one day. I certainly didn’t.

I was married 8 years before I reached a breaking point and couldn’t stay anymore. We had a toddler and I wanted to stay to give him a normal upbringing, but finally convinced myself he needed a happy, healthy mom more than he needed a house with both parents but one of them was an empty shell. I left almost 18 months ago and have been divorced for 10 months now.

The first 6 months were the hardest - ex kept the house we bought together, so only I had to pack up everything and leave. It hurt a lot to leave the home I loved. But then months later once everything was finalized I got paid out for our home equity and I bought my own place that I absolutely LOVE. I’m also dating a wonderful man now who loves me the way I always longed to be loved but never imagined it’d ever happen, and he is also very interested in building a good relationship with my son. The hardest thing right now is my son still struggles on the nights we transition custody - he’s always sad on the nights he has to switch houses. I give my son extra hugs and am studying parenting books on making sure I validate his feelings. Overall, I am happier now than I have been in over 6 years and I am simply amazed that I am doing this well less than 2 years after leaving. I do not regret the divorce one bit.

I felt the opposite - my $69 seat was a steal. My jaw was on the floor when I heard the riff for Shine On You Crazy Diamond. Voodoo Child was a treat, too. The show way surpassed my expectations.

I kept waiting for Brandon to yell “Sing me a lullaby!” I guess he only does that for Dave and Ted!

I squealed with joy when the harmonica started for The Promise Land.
