| Song |
"Lonely Town" is the third single by American singer Brandon Flowers from his second studio album, The Desired Effect.[1][2]
Composition
Sonically the track appears to be a breezy love song but lyrically it features lines with dual meanings (e.g., "When will you come home again? Did you lock the door when it shut?"), potentially attributable to a stalker.
Danielle Haim (of Haim) requested to play the drum part and features on the recording.
Music video
The music video follows around a young woman (Penelope Mitchell) while doing random things around her house with headphones on while dancing to the song.[3][4] Someone is watching her from outside her window.[5][6][7] The video is retro-styled.[8][9]
