This song just blows my mind. There's something about that guitar riff that electrifies me and makes all the hairs on the back of my neck bristle in the most uncomfortably comforting way.

If you don't know anything about singing- and I refer here to real singing, please consider that to sing certain melodies, hit certain notes, hold said notes, shift octaves, keys, etc. takes a great deal of concentration. Which is why the vast majority of singers in rock and roll aren't really very good singers- they're more or less vocalists who are fronting the band, i.e. entertaining the chicks, etc.. Chris Martin sounded much better singing live when he sat at the piano and focused rather than the rock star trip he does now. Same goes for Brandon Flowers. Personally I'd rather hear the amazing vocal performances of James Allan than see him dance around like a fairy. Tim Booth is about the only singer who can pull it off in my humble opinion.
