"The Morning Hour": The Killers, Spaceman

It's the first post and since we have to begin somewhere, why not beginning from the Morning Hour?
The Morning Hour has been so far a mini-blog in Facebook though I doubt most of the "friends" have actually ever read the notes below the posted video.
The idea is to record the first song that the alarm throws at me in the morning - ok, sometimes it's the second or third song given the amount of snoozing necessary before some corageous brain cell decides to wake up. The song in the Morning Hour has a different power compared to the rest of the music I listen to in the rest of the day; it usually sticks in my mind and can, I believe, influence my mood and my day as a whole.

Today it was Spaceman from The Killers, from their new album. I didn't know the song but it sounded good and quite catchy. It's well within "the Killers' style" but it wasn't bad as a pre-coffee tune! I gave a look at the lyrics as well and, consistently with the band's history so far, they are not banal nor stupid; certainly worth a few minutes of your time.

It's funny that, among the first things that the song made me think today, it's another song from my time in high school by a band called Babylon Zoo titled Spaceman as well. It's funny cause their frontman had really weird blue eyes and his picture had stuck into my brain for months back then, but it was years I hadn't recalled it. It's a great song too!

Anyway, here's Spaceman from the Killers:
