Castles in the sky

I have a new favorite song, A Dustland Fairytale. There is something about this song and this rendition that speaks to my soul. I think I could be bordering 3-4 dozen views of this music video during the past three night shifts. I just can not get enough of it. What do you think?

Brandon Flowers, the lead singer of the Killers, co-wrote the song about his parents and nostalgia for a simpler way of life. Especially moving, is the very emotionally charged lines pleading with Cinderella (his mother) not to go to sleep-a bitter form of refuge. That the kingdom is under seige and everybody needs her. Brandon's own mother battled brain cancer for two years before going "to sleep." A beautiful and valiant woman. Her obituary is a tribute of this. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/lvrj/obituary.aspx?n=jean-flowers&pid=139671234
Doesn't it ring true that our families are under seige and how difficult it is to lose Cinderella or our American Prince father?
I read almost every article and interview I could find. One of my favorites was this one about his faith...and flaws. http://www.mormonwiki.com/Brandon_Flowers
A little more about the song from an on-line article:
"Written by Brandon Flowers, frontman and keyboard player, this track was released by the American alternative rock band in 2008. It's a very personal song which tells the story of his parents, beginning with how they met when only aged fifteen and living on the same trailer park. Flowers said in an interview, ``It's an attempt to come to grips with the fact they're getting older. They're in their mid-sixties and my dad is my connection to...the pure America. It's like a love letter I guess. I see what's happening now with the kids and...it was just simpler back then. There's so much junk now.''
With his unique brand of lyrics, Flowers poetically paints a fairytale image with his parents, in their youth, playing the lead roles of Cinderella and Prince Charming. The theme continues with mention of `castles in the sky,' although the passage of time is being recognized by the line, `the drawbridge is closing.' Perhaps the most memorable point put across through the lyrics is one accepting the inevitable with the fact that time will continue to pass and we'll all continue to grow older described beautifully by the line, `and the decades disappear like sinking ships.'
