Written by Brandon Flowers, it is featured on the compilation album Sawdust. "It took a day to break the ice with him," Flowers said of Reed. "The second day of recording was a lot nicer than the first. On the first day we were all really stiff. It's funny, because you refer to him as 'Lou Reed', not 'Lou'. I remember somebody came into the studio. They could only stay in the room with him for two minutes. They left, saying, 'Lou Reed's really freaking me out.'"[1] The song was made available for download on iTunes from October 12, 2007. A limited edition etched 7" vinyl of "Tranquilize" was available from November 5, featuring a lyric from the song hand-picked by Brandon Flowers etched on one side. The song reached number 13 on the UK Singles Chart and number 11 on the Download chart. It won Best International Alternative/Indie Track at NME's first ever USA awards. The song was featured in a trailer for the fifth and final season of HBO's original series Boardwalk Empire.[2] Track listing
Live performancesIn concert, Flowers changes the lyrics at the end from "the Bushes and the bombs are tranquilized" to "the vampires and the bombs are tranquilized".{{citation needed|date=March 2013}} Music videoThe music video features Lou Reed and was released on the 29 October 2007 in the UK. The video features Flowers wandering around an empty house. Somewhere in the house is Lou Reed, sitting at a piano. Flowers sings the song, including Reed's parts, making it look like he has been possessed. Intercut with this are shots of the rest of the band in a darkly lit, red room, around a table, apparently performing a seance. The video ends with Flowers finding and pointing at Reed, singing his outro. Charts
