Would this be a cover of the 80's Patty Smyth/Journey hit?

I don't see this one being a hit.

I can't get into his debut solo record.
It sounds like a collection of B-sides from the "Sam's Town" era, and "Sam's Town" is the only Killers album I overall dislike to date in that it sounded overblown and self-indulgent, while "Hot Fuss" and "Day & Age" were great in that the band didn't take themselves as seriously and let loose, thus sounding invigorating.
"Flamingo" also lacks a "Read My Mind" or "A Dustland Fairytale" moment that really blows you away. There's no stand-out equivalent here either. At the very least "Sam's Town" had the former amidst an otherwise forgettable effort.
Namaste,
Lisping Hibiscus

agree 100% with the not being able to get "into" the album
Crossfire when I heard it made me think this would be chock full of good-uns alas a big let down overall...

It should have been Hard Enough or Jilted Lovers.

This is a gem!!! It blows everything else being played on radio right now!!! Much better than Crossfire and 90% of his work on The Killers!!

Would this be a cover of the 80's Patty Smyth/Journey hit? Clearly the answer is 'no'. Thanks for all the responses. And clearly this is a ghastly inferior song to "Crossfire". Heck, it is inferior to the other "Only The Young"s. |

I love the whole album, and the album track is great, but I am assuming that this the radio edit, and they managed to destroy the song  |
