The Killers – Here With Me

These dashing rockers are back after a long hiatus. Anybody who’s anybody has probably heard of The Killers and Mr. Brightside. Well, far from their previous sound, this new single showcases the band’s more Coldplay-esque vibe.

Here With Me is a dark, surrealistic video that features a young man’s obsession with a freak show mannequin. Of course, nothing short of morbidly amazing is expected since it is after all, directed by Tim Burton. This is his second collaboration with the band; the first was for the 2006 number, Bones.

The video features a tale of obsession and insanity, as a young man becomes enamored with a wax mannequin. If she looks familiar, yes, that is Winona Ryder! It’s nice to see her again and even better to see Tim Burton return to his classic horror style.

The track, meanwhile, is a beautiful mid-tempo rock love song that accentuates the anguish and longing for someone special.

Don’t hesitate to check this one out. The ending is slightly creepy but also very fitting.
