  • Murder to Marriage: Love and the Evolution of the Killers
    Murder to Marriage: Love and the Evolution of The Killers By Tosha R. Taylor Published online: October 2018 http://www.jprstudies.org Abstract: The Killers’ music crosses genres and seems to alternate between upholding or challenging the conventions of rock music. This is particularly evident in their depiction of romantic desire. Through their recording career, their work has undergone a dramatic shift in its engagement with love. Early songs often dealt with spurned male lovers who react violently to rejection, culminating in what is known as the band’s Murder Trilogy. However, their more recent work has departed from rock’s critically cited fixation with freedom and sexualized love to concern the struggles of prolonged relationships in which partners face the pressures of romantic disillusionment. Their evolution has conspicuous ties to frontman Brandon Flowers’ own marital and religious commitments. This article traces such thematic changes to investigate relationships between love, masculinities, and spirituality in rock music. Through close readings of The Killers’ music, with particular care for the influence of their frontman, the article uncovers the cohesive evolution of the theme of romance in their discography. About the Author: Tosha R. Taylor holds a Ph.D. in English from Loughborough University, where her doctoral research concerned identity and body politics of captive Americans in contemporary horror cinema. She has published a number of chapters on gendered subjectivities in comics-based media, as well as past and forthcoming work on American Horror Story and, respectively, The Walking Dead. She is a lecturer at Manhattanville College in New York, where she teaches first-year composition and topical seminars.

[Maybe you could give me another name too, and we will having fun changing our names, our faces, our costumes and our stories, "so(we)", our spirits, bodies, hearts and speeches, can experience some true love with some true intimacy...] [When a lie is known as a lie before it is said, it is not a lie any more, it becomes a theatre play, a figure of style, a representation of the art of life, an indirect picture of a living world. So I can now express officially that all this text is a true fiction fabricated in my mind, invented and imagined by a simple shaman for a blue green meditating sister, to better reflect the illusion of a shared reality and to illustrate what might be a Buddhist Love Affair: The Lotus Dream.] Letter to Ishtar : The Lotus Dream, page 1/91 http://hautrive.wordpress.com I have to write to you so I tell you how I feel, so I ask you how do you feel, and so ªI(we)º can sleep in peace again [and think about something else than you you you always you, me me me always me and us].
