Song of the Day: "Fire and Bone" by The Killers




You can't tell me Brian Eno didn't have a hand in "Fire In Bone"— a 2020 single from Imploding the Mirage, the' sixth studio album by The Killers—if only via inspiration.  I could look it up, but sometimes a gal's just too tired to Wikipedia. 

My song of the day also follows a now-familiar pattern, in which the Killers purposely straddle myriad eras. You can hear it in the rollicking rock 'n roll wild west romp that is Sam's Town and in the disco-kissed flavor of a number of subsequent songs. 

A we move further through "Fire in Bone," we find ourself ensconced firmly in the '80s.  Brandon Flowers' wavering voice channels more than a bit #gray Bruce Springsteen's Rage Against the Lonesome Inner Fire growl. 

The Killers are always redefining themselves. I've been away, but I have a feeling I"m going to enjoy catching up with these gents.
