An iconic song that still gives me chills every time I hear it.
Once you hear those first notes it's like you've got no choice but to sing
When you are from the UK you are born knowing the lyrics to Mr brightside

When I heard Mr. Brightside for the first time I said this song is "Killer" then a co-worker laughed and said it is The Killers. Ahh the 2000's.
I cry after listening to this song because it reminds me of college days. The 00s was such an awesome for alternative & punk rock before electronic & pop music took over & music got ruined in general.
I saw this video while watching mr brightside and i really like this channel

Wow I'm SO glad I found your channel! I love hearing the back stories to wonderful moments, thanks for sharing!
This song is so catchy and the chorus make me SOOOO emotional
Wow thanks for background of this epic song. You are a great story teller man!!
Great info! I LOVE this song. They are such an awesome band.
First A quality video with great editing, can’t wait to see the channel grow
THE song of the first decade of 2000's.
You totally missed the main issue. Nobody in the USA wanted to know. It was only when a UK record label showed interest, they travelled to the UK and did some gigs and got signed to Lizard King that the US labels started fighting to sign them. Mr Brightside was not even the first release in the US, Somebody Told Me was. Mr Brightside was the first release in the UK (copies of that are hot property as only 500 were pressed). Mr Brightside was re-released in the US after Somebody Told Me.
Wow!! This was so fun and interesting. You deserve more subscribers. Keep going
It's crazy how they went from Mr brightside to are we human or dancer show tunes.
I love that i found your video! This IS my favorite song
Loved the dance versions remixes. 😍 awesome 👌
Fetus Brandon is on fire those days. He's still killing it now.

It never hurts when a genius musician could have popped out of Vogue magazine.
It's a song for everyone and anyone that's been there knows 💔🙌
Mr Brightside was their best by far, their other songs dont even compare. A song like that comes from deep inner feelings
I love this song.❤
This song is so awsome
I think I’ll know this when I’m gone! I hope❤
Excellent video.
Ok but why the hell does this only have 65 likes it needs so much more tho
All These Things That I've Done is by far my favorite but second place is definitely Mr. Brightside.
I can’t believe this came out so long ago
best song of theirs by far -- they wouldnt have gotten so big without it
Tell me why this feels like this video had 1 or 2k comments but instead it has 4 now 5.
I had and still do have the biggest crush on the blond girl from the music video 😍🤤

Love this video! I'm a massive Killers fan as well and I enjoyed learning some more about the hit song! Curious, what's your favourite single off Hot Fuss? Mine personally would be either Smile Like You Mean It or All These Things I've Done. But my favourite off the album would have to be either Andy You're A Star or Indie Rock and Roll ❤️

All These Things. Saw my first Killers show three weeks ago, and there was that moment - when a concert transforms into church - and it was during All These Things. The collective energy of everyone during the buildup and then the roof just blew right off. That moment - and every show has one - is why I go to shows and The Killers were bang on!

Lots of good ones off that album but my top has to be "Jenny Was a Friend of Mine" or "Smile Like You Mean It"!
The queen's last words was Mr brightside
A song about betrayal, It hurts to listen to because people can relate.

Its not a song, its an anthem in the UK ❤❤❤
One of the best songs of 2005. Ever.

Mr. Brightside then Can You Read my Mind.
Was this the first song from the album? Or was that just in the UK? Wasn't Somebody Told Me the first song in the US?
Xfm is probably the best UK radio station lol.
Smile like you mean it is better change my mind

But you never tell us what the hell the song is about. You just say that Brandon is Mr. Brightside, and it’s about his gf. That’s not very specific. What exactly happened?
I lived it. I was the other guy in a relationship and watching this video made me feel guilty. Even though his story was different It made me feel feel guilty for being the other guy. We got caught they broke up but we still hooked up till we got bored

That iconic overproduced synthesized "guitar riff", lol. Their biggest hit off their first record? Their only actual "hit".
