One of the fondest, realest memories of my music collecting career was going to Target and dropping eight bucks on The Killers’ Hot Fuss. I put countless hours into that album. Learning the words and singing to myself. Namely “I got soul, but I’m not a soldier.” If you know, you know. Hearing Brandon Flowers voice is known to take my mind down Nostalgia-Ville. RAC’s remix of their single “Runaway” simply puts me in a happy place. The song finds such a fine balance of the beauty of RAC’s synths, and the soul of Flowers’ vocals. The beginning of the track briefly reminds me of the intro to Dillon Francis’ “I.D.G.A.F.O.S. 2.0.” See if you agree:
