The tune is called ‘Tranquilize’. Brandon Flowers shares more details about the duet and an upcoming B-Sides compilation with NME: *”We were thrilled with being able to work with Lou Reed. The song was calling for a duet and his voice was just right. The sentiment of the song is very him. There’s a desperation to it. It’s one of our more depressing songs, but there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. I’m a big fan of ‘The Masterplan’ by Oasis and ‘Hatful Of Hollow’ by The Smiths. It’s for our fans who want the whole collection in one package.”*
