William Fitzsimmons - "When You Were Young" [Official Music Video]

William’s version of "When You Were Young" is out now: https://williamfitzsimmons.ffm.to/whe... From William - "The Killers have made a career out of massive rock hits, but have always found a way to explore vulnerable themes in a way that captures you before you even know what the song is about. I've always been mildly obsessed with the contrast between young innocence and mature resignation. That awful point we all must go through when magic yields to mortgages. We often still look for saviors to fix us and bring back those original feelings of warmth and safety. For my version of “When You Were Young” I wanted to remove the grandiose anger and focus instead on the painful nostalgia. But the masterful instrumental melody remains firm."

I don't know It’s higher now than ever before I know we can make it if we take it slow Let's take it easy, easy now, watch it go Burning down the highway skyline On the back of a hurricane that started turnin' When you were young When you were young And sometimes you close your eyes And see the place where you used to live When you were young They say the devil's water ain't so sweet You don't have to drink right now But you can dip your feet Every once in a little while You sit there in your heartache Waiting on some beautiful boy to Save you from your old ways You play forgiveness; watch it now, here he comes Doesn't look a thing like Jesus But he talks like a gentleman Like you imagined When you were young When you were young When you were young When you were young
