The Killers‘ tour may be temporarily sidelined by Brandon Flowers’ laryngitis, but they’re certainly not suffering from a lack of exposure.
The Las Vegas band has premiered the music video for “Here With Me,” which arrives just days after the debut of The Killers’ second clip for “Miss Atomic Bomb.” Both follow “I Feel It In My Bones,” their Christmas charity single and video released at the start of the month.
For the visual accompaniment to their Battle Born ballad, The Killers have re-teamed with Tim Burton, who directed their “Bones” video in 2006. “Here With Me” also stars Burton’s occasional muse, Winona Ryder, all of which continues a reunion thread present in The Killers’ recent music videos.
In a note posted by the band’s label, Burton explains his concept:
The first time I saw The Killers perform live was in Blackpool, UK, shortly after completing work on our first collaboration, the music video for ‘Bones,’ Burton says. “When I heard the song ‘Here With Me,’ I remembered seeing a wax figure of Winona in Louis Tussaud’s Waxworks in Blackpool. The concept of the video is inspired by the 1935 film, ‘Mad Love,’ starring Peter Lorre, as well as the works of Mario Bava.”
