This song is so popular in the UK that it still consistently reaches the main top 100 at least once a month.

Did you know that since Mr. Brightside was released, there hasn’t been a time where it stopped being in the Top 100 charts in the UK? It’s kinda insane. Even just in 2016-2017, a random spurt of time after it’s been out for this long, it charted for 35 consecutive weeks! It’s remained relevant for so long. It’s so bizarre, but pretty damn impressive.

It has been in the british charts since 2004, Also a british magazine said The Killers is the best british band to come from America.

I always thought that he was Mr. Brightside because he was tolerating her cheating. Looking on the good side of "oh she loves me even if she goes out with others". And that's why he chokes on the albis and says "I've been doing just fine", he is pretending he is fine but he is not. He is jealous but loves her so much that he pretends this is not killing him. He wants it all, he wants to be the only one and tells himself that "it was only a kiss", like she tells him (and she says she doesnt know how did it end up like this), but yeah he forces himself to stay and keeps imagining her with others, paranoid, jealous and stuff. But that was how i understood.

Restraint & accountability 😊

I think the Mr. Brightside part of the song is like an alternate ego or conscience of Brandon telling him to open up his “eager eyes” which are trying their hardest to not see his girlfriend cheating. Yet Mr. Brightside is telling him to open his eyes and realize that it is happening. But I think these lyrics are pretty easy to understand, jealousy was pretty easy to pick up as a main topic for the song. Love these videos, I’m a total junkie for looking at lyrics more in depth!

You should explain “All the things that I’ve done”. It’s another fantastic songs by The Killers

I was so excited, The Killers was huge when I was younger, and their music gives me a feeling of nostalgia.

You should do "Miss Atomic Bomb" by The Killers. It's the sequel to "Mr. Brightside".

Thank you so much for doing this! Mr brightside is one of my most favorite songs, it’s nice to learn the backstory and how it connects to the lyrics!

Do "read my mind" by the killers!

Mathan Pennington I agree other than Spaceman it’s probably one of the well written yet confusing song by them, especially the chorus.

This guy is actually so open with us no matter what on the deep meaning of the songs he explains

I absolutely LOVE The Killers, and I’ve been listening to them exclusively for the past three weeks, so I was so excited when I got this notification!!!!

I was about to go practice drumming but.... Now I've gotta see this...

you should do a vid on the pre/sequel to Mr Brightside: Miss Atomic Bomb

Please do a explaination on Be Concerned by TØP.

I absolutely love this song and over the years it's held so much meaning for me. thank

My favorite song! Thank you for explaning it!

Louis covered this and I wondered why. Thanks.

The Killers are frickin awesome! And this song is one of the best.

There is also another song paired with Mr. Brightside called Miss Atomic Bomb which is basically a more sad, regretful, and detailed look on the same relationship and the music video does the same except it suggests that the girl may of NOT cheated and I would like to hear your thoughts on that and also please explain more of the killers thank you

This song is so depressing.. (Can you do a song by Greek Fire next please? thanks fam!)

I’m surprised that you haven’t explained this song yet

Funny, I always thought about Mr Brightside was about a lost love and the most thought of being with another person afterwords. I guess that’s just music, how it can be perceived differently. Great video, you earned a sub!

I LOVE THE KILLERS and the last song you did was by Lorde who is flipping amazing.

Hey! I love The Killers AND your videos, and I was wondering if you'd break down the song Human by them too? I've always been curious what it means 😂

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES _YES_ yES YEs YES YES YES YES!!! _thank you so much for making this video, this is my favorite song of all time_

Still a bop after 14 years

One thing, he's not watching, as in actually seeing it. He says "it's all in my head" in other words he's sitting there imagining what there doing, he can't stop thinking about it, and it's killing him. It's just a guy alone driving himself crazy.

I would write a song that becomes famous just so that you can interpret it :) Love the way you break down lyrics

YES! CAN you do Read My Mind by the Killers? It's my favorite song of theirs and a beautiful one at that💖

i love the vid and the story behind it

Yo, you making videos bout 21 pilots, and the killers. My 2 fav bands. This is great :')

Regarding the video the girl is a dancer and he is a singer at the same place. He is always having this thoughts of her with other men (specially the business owner) due to his jelousy but she is actually not with anyone, is like the song say: "is all in [my] head" . I suggest you to check the second part Miss Atomic Bomb.

I love you man

I would probably actually die for this song tbh

Can you make a video on some other songs by The Killers? Like for example When You Were Young.

Also, can you do an explanation of PlayRadio!Play's "I'm A Pirate, You Are A Princess"? I love that song so much!

Getting cheated on while I knew something was up got me into this song. Damn

I always interpreted the song as him finding his girlfriend cheating and the jealousy blinding him and making him kill her (I connect it to Jenny was a friend of mine), hence why he's "choking on his alibis" and the price he pays is going to jail. I think when he says "destiny is calling me, open up my eager eyes" is when he feels/decides to kill her.

Could you do a song explanation of "All These Things That I've Done" by The Killers? It sounds like the writer is stressed from being the "perfect person" and needs some help from somebody. But the last lines of the song always confused me. Anyways, awesome video and I look forward to more of your content.

Yes

Please do something by Set It Off

Ok now can you please do Read My Mind?????? or something by half alive?

So I think what the chorus is talking about is the sirens. Saints turning to the sea filled with lullabies could be pure people (him specifically) falling for temptresses like his ex.

This is my song right now

To me when he says “open up my eager eyes! Cuz I’m mr.brightside” always felt like it meant that he wants to be aware that this is a serious situation but he is always so naive to notice that it’s better to let go instead of trying to find the brightside of a bad situation. I think this is what brightside means. Because even at the beginning he says “I’m coming out of my cage and I’ve been doing just fine “ meaning he is sucking it up and pretending everything is fine even though he is mad. “Gotta gotta be down because I want it all” meaning that he decided that being torn apart (down) by the event was just something that happened and he had to just let it pass by since relationship always have ups and downs (and he wanted it all, so that was just part of being in a relationship). Then “it was only a kiss, how did it end up like this” is him repeating the event in his head, that the girl probably told him “it was only a kiss” and him saying “how did it end up like this?” Brings up the fact that their relationship ended all because of that ONE kiss. And he goes on to say “it was only a kiss! It was only a kiss!!!” Because he can’t believe that it was just THAT that ruined everything.

Nancy Gonzalez good point!

At University of Michigan the stadium always does this song at the end of the 3rd quarter. It was confusing to me, as there really doesn't seem like there is a cited reasoning. So I checked into the lyrics. And that kind of made it more confusing. So I figured I would watch this video... And while the explanation makes perfect sense. It makes even less sense why a stadium full of people would sign this in unison at a football game. People are soooo weird....

how is that every song I think about you upload a video about it in less than 3 days, am I likey or do you work for the FBI?

Wait what? Shoot me an email and we can figure this out.

In my opinion after years and years I mean, literally I was 14-year-old when I heard this song and I fell in love but of course I gave it my own meaning now as a 27 year old woman and have been through the things that I've been thru and I am 85% correct that I know exactly what the meaning is And I'm going explain what I think it is before this video even starts because I feel like I am right about this specific one it is hard to catch on too but after so long of watching it and being in that type of situation I know I know exactly what it means. The small unnoticeable details I just truly feel like there's no other way then what is actually going on but I guess we will see because I have not watched this video yet so let's get to it

Just discovered this looking for an explanation for "somebody told me" by the killers. I have always wondered what the story is about the ex boyfriend and girlfriend. Are they the same person, was he dating a masculine woman, was the other person's boyfriend feminine, is it all a giant metaphor, what does it all mean with such chaotic open-ended lyrics in such a memorable and catchy song.

an iconic song 👑

PLEASE cover more killers songs they are low key my favourite band and there songs are amazing but some are shrouded in mystery like The Ballad Of Michael Valentine or Bling (Confession Of A King (PLEASE EXPLAIN VALENTINE AND BLING)

Ahhh finally!

I think the video was inspired by the film Moulin Rouge. If it wasn't it really reminds me of it!

Love like winter by A.f.i (Or any song by them please!)

He says " I never " at the end... What does that mean ?

The Killers 😍😍😍 Check Human by The Killers

I wished you would've touched on the word play in the first verse where he says "Now I'm going to bed, and my stomach is sick and it's all in my head but she's touching his---" before he says "chest" in the prechorus. I always thought that was a pretty cheeky line because if you're just reading the lyrics without listening to the song chest wouldn't be the first word to come to mind haha

You've hit 100k subs

The music video is a riff on Mulan Rouge

I donno if you did it already but if not plz do Human by the killers

Could you explain "The Battle of Evermore" by Led Zeppelin

the songs about him suspecting his girlfriend cheating on him.. “it’s all in my head”.. he’s having vivid visions of her cheating on him, and vivid visions of his girlfriend and another man doing the dirty.

Why not ‚miss the bright side‘?

Imagine writing your first song about a bad relationship experience and that becoming one of the biggest songs of all time. Having to perform and listen to the song a constantly and everywhere . Not what you expected from the first song you ever wrote

His hometown was actually Nephi Utah

Please do Jenny Was a Friend of Mine next 😊

I was just listening to Mr. Brightside.
