When You Were Young

The Killers depart a bit here from some of their angrier work on an earlier album and venture into more upbeat territory with "When You Were Young." Someone plays a great keyboard on this single, while lead singer Brandon Flowers sings his heart out and the other musicians collaborate to make it even stronger. Like Foo Fighters' "The Pretender," this song makes a brief detour into a softer segment around the middle, then speeds up again as it reaches the end. Compelling and easy to remember.
