"Be Still" by The Killers

Led by Brandon Flowers, The Killers is a modern rock band that formed in the early 2000s in Vegas. The band's unique sound pulls from styles that were pioneered by 80s new wave bands like The Cure and The Smiths; in fact, their name is taken from the bass drum featured in the song "Crystal" by New Order.

The Killers found success almost right out of the gate, and their first chart appearance came in 2004 with the excellent "Somebody Told Me" (#51). Shortly thereafter they secured their only (to date) top ten hit with "Mr. Brightside." Their sound began to dominate the decade and was copied by numerous other bands. Other notable chart appearances included "When You Were Young" (#14) and "Human" (#32).

"Be Still," which appears on the band's 2012 record entitled, "Battle Born," takes a break from their fast paced rock. It is a quietly moving and inspirational piece that reminds you to stay strong in the face of adversity.
