El lanzamiento de ‘Imploding the Mirage’, que salía el 29 de mayo, ha sido postergado “debido a retrasos en su finalización” según la nota de prensa oficial. The Killers son uno de los grupos confirmados en el cartel de Bilbao BBK Live, uno de varios festivales españoles que no han aplazado ni cancelado por el coronavirus, al menos de momento.

De momento, The Killers al menos sí presentan novedades en forma de una canción nueva que ya puede escucharse en las plataformas de streaming. Se trata de ‘Fire in Bone’, una composición extraña para la que los británicos han vuelto a colaborar con Stuart Price, que antes de participar en el exitoso nuevo disco de Dua Lipa, produjo ‘Human’. Guitarras acústicas y teclados cósmicos se funden en esta canción de ritmillo funky que vuelve a plantear un panorama muy interesante de cara al sonido de este nuevo largo ahora aplazado. 

Antes del estreno de ‘Fire in Bone’ había sido el turno de ‘Caution‘, un primer single lleno de energía que recordaba tanto a The War on Drugs que el mismo Adam Granduciel aparece en los créditos. Por otro lado, The Killers acaban de participar en ‘One World: Together at Home’, el macroconcierto solidario organizado por Global Citizen, la Organización Mundial de la Salud y comisariado por Lady Gaga, y donde han cantado su éxito ‘Mr. Brightside’.

Letra Fire In Bone

I felt cast out
I felt eighty-sixed I felt darkness

But I felt fire in bone
I felt no good
I felt lowdown
And I felt alone
I felt unknown

But I felt fire in bone
I felt fire in bone
Wrongly accused and disowned
Then I felt fire in bone

When I came back empty-handed
You were waiting in the road
And you fell on my neck
And you took me back home
After all that I took from you
After all that I put you through here I am

I felt big time
I felt major league
I felt weird sin
But I felt fire in bone
I felt ripped off

Run down, wrung out
Empty, unseen
And preyed upon
But I felt fire in bone
I felt fire in bone

They say no one's gonna save you
You've gotta make it on your own
But I called from the dark
And you picked up the phone
On my back in the raging blue
I looked up, and you cut right through
Here I am

I felt washed up
I felt tempest-tossed And seasick
But I felt fire in bone
I felt mislead

I felt chained up, unclean, unknown
I felt unknown
But I felt fire in bone
I felt fire in bone

They say no one's gonna save you
You've gotta make it on your own
But I called from the dark
And you picked up the phone
On my back in the raging blue
I looked up, and you cut right through

Here I am
And when I came empty-handed
You met me in the road
And you fell on my neck
And you took me back home
After all that I took from you
After all that I put you through here I am
