THE KILLERS - ULTRAVIOLET (LIGHT MY WAY) COVER U2

From the Q Magazines 20th anniversary cover album of Achtung Baby. ENJOY!!!!

Just so all the haters and U2 defenders understand: Bono said the Killers did something with this song U2 couldn't (not necessarily better). He then said the radio needs Brandon Flowers' voice. "His voice!" So there is mutual respect here. Great original. Great cover.

As a diehard fan of both U2 and The Killers, I can’t believe I’m just now discovering this in 2024. This definitely has the spirit of the original with The Killers’ signature style.

I’m a U2 fanatic. I’ve loved the band since 1980. I’ve seen them live over 100 times. I hate anyone who tries to cover U2 songs. However, the Killers have absolutely blown me away with their version of my favourite song of Achtung Baby. I can’t get enough of it. When Brandon sings “Ultra Violet ….baby baby baby light my way” I’m literally floating.

I fucking love the original . ALL TIME FAV LOVE BALLAD. But this is brilliant. They did a great job of changing it just enough but retaining the beautiful feel of the song.

I've been a U2 fan since 1982 and Achtung Baby is my favorite record. And I love this cover. I love the killers. They did it to honor U2. Just accept it as an ode and move on with your lives. You don't have to like it. And if you like it better than U2's original, that's fine. You might recall: we're one, but we're not the same.

As a long time U2 fan — at least 40 years — I’m extremely partial and bias to any band doing a remake. Bono and the boys are a classic whiskey that doesn’t need any additive or sweetener.
That being said, it’s pretty rare that a remake could actually touch the soul in a different, dare I say more powerful way than this one. This arrangement, the harmonies, the build up, holy crap, it’s so moving it brought tears to my eyes. Minus the video part just the audio and letting it settle into my bones…. So powerful! Well done!

In 27 years, I've never heard any cover of U2 that I've liked. Until now!! Amazing!

Not everybody can sing U2 songs. Brandon done it perfect!!! Masterpiece!

[reggieluckman]

Brandon Flowers has one of the most beautiful, haunting, melancholic, emotive, pure voices I have ever heard. When he sings it’s as if you’re seeing inside his soul. A rare gift indeed.

Why am I just hearing this ten years later? Fantastic. My favorite U2 song, and I love this adaptation.

[aponytale]

I am U2 fun since 12, 1991 and in my humble opinion this is the best Cover of a U2 song I have heard!!

[luieu]

I have been a U2 fanatic since 1985 and i gotta say this version is incredible

[mollyco]

One of my favorite U2 songs, covered by my favorite band!!!

[tdurb]

My life is better because U2 exist. But I’ve got to say, as covers go, this right up there with the best of them

[TuijaLeino]

This is so incredibly good! Why on earth isn’t it on Spotify?!

[mariatheocampo]

I love that Brandon can sing any song and make it sound it like his own 💙

[eduffonseca]

Achtung baby is the best Record that ever listened. Since 1991.

[EmrysMyrddin]

How he sings "baby, baby, baby, light my way" 😍😍😍

[GenEXReviews]

I've been a U2 fan since 86 and I hereby proclaim this cover is better than the original.

[MsTriangle]

As a huge fan of both bands all I can say is: SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL. but hey, what did you expect: Brandon has a 4-octave range, totally agree with Bono about the quality of Flowers' voice.
