My Name is Trouble – Nightmare of You
The thanks again goes to Pandora for this one. I had never even heard of Nightmare of You before. They are almost like a more techno version of The Killers. It does kind of sound like it belongs on The Killers 2004 album Hot Fuss.
My Name is Trouble is a cool song with quite a lot going on musically. I love the guitar opening, it just starts everything off so well and really has that eighties feel to it. My favorite part is the section at about 2:16 when the beat changes a bit and he starts talking about “crossing the line from fashion to crime”.
Sad minion of mine
Don’t be so unkind
I know I stole your coat
You can have the song I wrote
I’ve just crossed the line
From fashion to crime
But it’s such a perfect fit
When I am wearing it
Ok, so the lyrics are silly, but the song is great. The video is actually kind of familiar too. It has almost the exact same premise as Michael’s Arcade Fire post. Kinda weird huh.
*edit* new video – 2/16/10
