I'm leaving this comment here so that after a week or a month or a year when someone likes it, I'll get reminded of this masterpiece
Here is your reminder ❤
Here's another reminder
I agree 100%. It is a masterpiece! 💜
I think it’s their best song. I just wish they performed it more live…I imagine it’s very taxing to sing.
Stop stealing comments u fool😂😂😂
He's Mr. Brightside; She's Miss Atomic Bomb
Miss atomic bomb sucks but Mr brightside rules. 🤘 According to video
@@binodyumnam2562 technically, Miss Atomic Bomb didn't do anything wrong...
@@gobbleswells2883 seems to me it was a case of Mr Brightside jumping to all the wrong conclusions
@@gobbleswells2883 why?? can tou tell me ??
@@dhennisuharmans2207 He was jealous of a relationship that was only in his head. She only ever had eyes to him and he let his insecurities get the better of him. He walked away from his relationship with her because of that. I would say this is a cautionary story of jealousy being a big ugly mask for insecurity.
This is probably their most underrated song by far.
Brandon and the guys are genius, I am still listening in Dec 2023
I love the connection this song has to Mr Brightside, I actually prefer this song. One of the The Killers very best this is, so much emotion and fire, Battle Born was incredible. I feel the part at the end when Brandon walks away with that sad look on his face so powerful.
the most underrated band ever. amazing lyrics , video, handsome look. the good old days. 0 nudity, 0 bad words , pure talent here.
This hits harder when you realize it’s about the same girl from Mr. Brightside
How do you know this and who is the girl from Mr. Brightside?
Natalie Schwartz In an interview, Brandon says “It’s a companion to ‘Mr. Brightside’.” The woman’s name is Izabella Miko. Also, at 3:50 she has a flashback, which is the same scene (1:35) on the Mr. Brightside video.
Sandra Cruz So she just acted and danced in his videos? Who was the song actually written about in his real life?
Natalie Schwartz yes, she’s an actress. But the song is about his real life ex girlfriend who actually cheated on him.
so is this song a prequel, or sequel?
Some one needs to make a broadway show or a movie based around The Killers music.
Holy shit... yes. The main character can be named Andy and Andy You're a Star could be the finale.
And the girl can be named Jenny ;)
I need this now
***** Andy Brightside
oh like Green Day's American Idiot? that's a nice concept!
This was my dad's favorite song of the Killers. He came to know them much later in life (he was 67) and it was probably the coolest thing to get in his truck and hear him say "You've gotta hear this song!" and it turns out being one of the songs I'd known for years. For at least the past year, right up until his death in February, this was the only song he'd play in his truck. It came to be known as "Track 17" (he had a friend make a compilation for him). He'd play it as loud as possible, restart it as soon as it was over, and- no matter how many times he'd already done it- give the longest and most in-depth analysis of it. It was hilarious and wonderful and one of my favorite things.
I'll never listen to the Killers the same way again. I'll always appreciate them in a different way and cherish the joy they brought to my dad in his later years. Thanks guys. Keep writing these beautiful songs.

EDIT 2020: So I haven't gotten any notifications for this comment in awhile, and after stopping in to watch the video, I'm just so surprised by all the likes and beautiful comments and love you guys have shared. Some 4.4 thousand people have read this and liked it and I just can't fathom that it's touched so many people. it's mind boggling. Thank you so much for taking a moment to read my story and to comment, and thank you even more to those who hold my father close to you in some way after reading this. Yesterday was five years since we lost him and I didn't realize how badly I needed these comments and the love they exude. It's like a soothing balm to the perpetual ache. I can't wait to share these comments with my family. Thank you all so so much. You have my gratitude forever. Sending you so much love 💙
Jo Irwin beautiful story
Leonardo Cortes a sad one also ; [
Leonardo Cortes Hudx Hawk3000 Thank you both. I listen to the song with nothing but love and joy in my heart now. I hear my own interpretation while keeping my dad's in mind. Things like this help me stay positive and uplifted when the inevitable sadness creeps around the corner, so it's not really bad for too long. Have a nice day and thank you for your words :)
THIS. KILLS. MY. HEART.
Agnieszka Capone ya :(
My roommate in freshman year of college played this on repeat after him and his girlfriend broke up. He died of a heroin overdose this year. Here’s to you, Zach. We miss you.
rest in peace.
F
My cousin lost his girlfriend in a car accident then he also ODed.
Glad I turned my life around but I will never judge someone because of who I used to be rip to your friend addiction is an awful thing..❤🕊
That’s rough, may he Rest In Peace 🙏
This song actually connects with Mr. Brightside, The Man and Just Another Girl.
The trailer in this song that the old man ends up in is the same one used in "The Man." Which is the beginning of the story.
Brandon Flowers is established as being super confident but having a distorted view of reality. He isn't as great of a singer as he believes he is, he gets kicked out of the casino, etc. Both "Miss Atomic Bomb" and "The Man" show that he believes he's against the world.
His luck starts to turn around when he falls in love with a ballet dancer. But he believes that she cheats on him "and it's all in my head but she's touching his chest now." to get ahead in her career and he loses her.
He tries to get over her but he sees her everywhere he goes and he becomes old and miserable which are in the lyrics to "Just Another Girl." "All of my friends say I should move on. She's just another girl. Don't let her stick it to your heart so much."
He fantasies that she ends up dumped by the rich guy and chooses him. She writes him a letter and then they get together and he envisions a future with her. But it turns out that she never wrote a letter and it's just a wasted fantasy.
"When You Were Young" "Mr. Brightside" "Miss Atomic Bomb" aren't straight forward romance songs. They're more like cautionary tales of not wasting your life by loving someone that will never love you back.
No,he doesn’t lose her.He walks away from her,in a fit of delusional insecurity and jealousy. He can’t handle going out with the beautiful ballerina, a girl who is way out of his league. Her letter to him is about her confusion on why he left her on New Year’s Eve. She searched everywhere for him after finding his engagement ring in the street. She ends up going back to the first place where they met in the desert. She doesn’t find him there and she goes back to her car. They never get back together. The video ends with him in his trailer, thinking about what could have been. Warren Fu, who directed this music video, has said in an interview that it was not about infidelity but rather about bad decisions,insecurity and regrets.
@@thomashong2938 Thanks for the insight.
@@thomashong2938 thats what i was thinking because in the end you never see her fooling around. YOu see shadows from a window from the OTHER guys perspective. And originally the man in the desert had no face. It was his insecurities already blooming even in his initial triumph. Now i have this beautiful woman but who will come to take her from me. LATER on when he sees this rich fancy executive type THEN the face of the man becomes his face. THEN he starts seeing them in every couple he sees.
and in both Mr. Brightside and Miss Atomic Bomb one woman is playing the role of the girl
Why didn’t I read the signs sooner 😭😞😔🥺 I learned this lesson the hard way I had a crush on a smart beautiful girl who ended up crushing my heart and not sounding like a good person at all.
love's a pretty shitty thing, even if you get a happyly ever after, you have to realize that for you to be happy, someone's heart had to be broken. When you love someone you take that person from everyone else.
Maybe im that persone with the broken heart .....
yup
So what do you think about my view?
100% true
+Shu Ouma Are you a prat - you talk rubbish.
This shit is so deep even adele can't roll in it
champion of the internet for 2014
Well Adele can roll in anything. :P
She'll probably drown.
MrLegonator hahaha random Internet guys are so hilarious!
XD
I discovered the Killers this morning by seeing them on Jimmie Kimmel, singing Caution. I love this band. I am 66, and grew up as a teenager in the great music of the 60's. I've been looking for years to hear really great groups again. FINALLY! I love Brandon Flowers' singing. The lyrics are really good, too, just like the songs in the 60's. There are sweet spots in his singing that are so pleasing. They're so right. I can't go over it. I'm in love with this music!
Hi I'm 66 as well but the difference is that I have been with the killers since 2002. I am very jealous of you because I wish I could here all their albums for the first time. You are going to have so much fun and enjoyment discovering their music. Good luck and enjoy.
Good to hear you like their music, I've grown up with this band, I also love classic songs
Yay!!! You have arrived! Make sure to listen to the album “Sams Town”!
@@jennydv oh yes the best.
Give a shot at a band called Palace...also Temples, they got that 60's psych vibe.
Moral of the story:
It's better to express your feelings and be rejected,
than to be silent and never knowing the truth.
And some of us know already that in our hearts we got to set them free. A few of us know to keep quiet at times because we love them enough to let them go...
damn this hit , it was my countless hesitation but in the end i was a loser at love
I could not agree more!!!
This video is exactly the story of my marriage and how it ended, even to the details that she was a dancer and left me for someone with more money due to the family he grew up in. The video makes a good point in the end. Don't spend your life waiting around thinking of what might have been. Just forgive the person, let them live their new life and open yourself up to new love. Otherwise you'll find yourself alone. I chose to love again and the world is an open place with all kinds of choices to make.
+Jeffrey Root Congrats dude!
+Jeffrey Root Actually in the video, the girl didn't leave the guy, the guy thought that she was with someone else even though she wasn't. The video is about the guy looking back and thinking about what he did, and what he could have done. I'm sorry about your marriage, and I'm glad you're able to move on.
+the cheesedr I'm pretty sure the girl and the rich guy were together- there's a scene where they have kids
+kliqit if you put attention all this scenes are in the thoughts of the guy, everything is in imagination, it's about trust in your couple because things aren't what they look all the time
+kliqit No, before that you see her sitting alone and the scene with the kids has a different guy. I think the rich guy left her and she was left with nothing and then rebuilt with a third guy
THE KILLERS BETTER WRITE A PART 3 SONG FOR THIS!!!!
check out "just another girl" by them.
I think it's sort of a part 3.
+Foxhound 248 nah it's more like for fans to remember the years of the killers
+Julian Salazar Music videos don't have to correspond to the lyrics, Just Another girl's video does commemorate his past songs but that doesn't mean that's what the song's lyrics were for.
+Daniel Martinez well what I think now is it reminds us that this whole time they were playing for one girl the whole time
if they done this it would have to have brandon his future self plus the actress of the girls who he falls in love with. this video one an award for the video and if it had a party 3 I think it should atleast have it in the ending
Interesting relationship songs from Mr. Brightside.
Miss Atomic Bomb telling the other half of the story.
Brandon Flowers is genius in making the songs connect with each other.
This, dear boys, is why you don't waste your time chasing a free spirit.
Even rock stars don't have a chance when Eric Roberts comes around...
RUdigitized lol....
hjuguetes gran
RUdigitized If only he had that kind of luck in Mariah Carey's videos
Eric is just bigger than life in the villain world of Hollywood ....
+RUdigitized The dude is in every music video.
This isn't a regular love song, it co relates to Mr. Brightside. What I take away from this is that he's old now and is regretting his decision to leave her at the end of the Mr. Brightside video, it also revealed in the lyric "you're gonna miss me when I'm gone." Then he starts to reminisce about the past. Also Eric Roberts isn't just stealing her "cause he's hot", he represents his negative imagination. He thinks she's cheating on him, but he's just imagining it. Also in this video where she kisses Eric, that also never happened(Mr. Brightside lyric : "it's all in my head...") , she was actually just waiting for him to come, since she immediately comes out afterwards and there is no one behind her. The scene in which Brandon proposes her, is what he wishes what he should've done, while in reality he threw away the ring. Also at 3:20 you hear the opening guitar track of Mr. Brightside. Check your privilege.
Yup. But the thing is... He walked away, and she let him.
Josh Sweetvale what was she supposed to do? Chain him to the wall?
***** it would get a bit like 50 shades if she chained him to the wall
Check your privilege hahahaha
Chris Cooke Sarcastic, it's a running gag on one of my favourite youtube channels, Jacksfilms.
The Killers made a lot of great songs but I would have to say this is their masterpiece . Spaceman is also one of their best
This is my reminder, good music is out there if you look hard enough❤
damn brandon flowers is too gorgeous
he's truly gorgeous.
even as a cartoon 😂
His voice is also gorgeous. ^-^
This would make a killer graphic novel.
damnit
For sure
_The Killer(s)_ graphic novel
It actualy and metaphorically is 😅👌🏻
go for it my dude
My mom loved this band and played it when I was a kid, so I played it at her funeral when she passed away
Your mom had great taste 😊
Rip your mom and strength to you friend, someday you'll see each other again.
Sorry to hear about your mom. May her soul find eternal peace...
RIP to your momma.
♥️
3:21 I love that you can hear the og intro tune from mr.brightside
Dude i just realized that
This song and this music video break my heart but i love it at the same time
+Nova S i just heard it today after hearing mr. bright side and it connects so well. i felt how much emotion was in that song. it's amazing.
+Tailyre Matthews Yes I agree, one of the most interesting bands around by a mile.
+Nova S Yes yes yes. I feel like the echoing of the guitar kind of makes the mood.
I understand this song now. It isn't about being angry or upset that things didn't go the way we wanted them to. It's about appreciating the times that were enjoyed together. This song and the accompanying video show us not to let ourselves waste away waiting for something that can never be. There are magical times that should always be remembered, but they need to be just that - fond memories of the distant past. After everything, I can honestly say I've appreciated the time that we've spent with one another. I've learned so much and I'm happy that I was able to feel the way that I did with her.
It's alright now. I'm free and I'm happy. I will learn to love again. I only hope that she finds what she is looking for. She won't find it with me, and that's okay. I did all that I could to save her, but it just isn't my role anymore. Separation is merely a part of life, but we need to stop looking at it as a bad thing when in actuality it is a beautiful thing. We have stories within us that are always a part of us. They are unique to us and no one can ever take your feelings and experiences away. Cherish them and never let them go. These things are what make us human. Learn to move on, but do not forget what taught you how to be human in the first place.
i'm...i'm not crying... my eyes are just sweating, i swear... :/
The song is more of a story about a man who lets jealousy and insecurity cloud his judgement to the point where he thinks his lover is cheating on him even though she isnt. and then he just feels deep regret, but eventually resolves it and makes peace with it, despite the occasional pang of bitterness. and then he receives that letter from her and he realizes that he should have proposed to her from the start because she was more perfect for him than he could have imagined. the regret comes back in renewed waves as he realizes the true magnitude of his mistake, but he has grown old enough that he knows he can't let it be what defines his life. he makes peace with his folly, though inevitably wishes he could have a second throw of the dice.
I agree with you more than with Brian.
Well said
spot on Arvel, good job decoding this :-)
If you are listening to this during the lockdown, you're a legend
Iʻm actually making a poem about this video for school!
No I'm not, but this song is good
Sorry, that was uncalled for
i have been listening to this since i was born
No, YOU are a legend! Hope you guys are well!
Never heard this song before, and was never a big Killers listener, but I really enjoyed this song.
So, it really was all in Mr. Brightside's head: "She's touching his chest now, he takes off her dress now..." He imagined the affair. She loved him but he let his fear that she was with someone else drive them apart. How very sad...
Yeah that's why he says "it's all in my head" in the song Mr.Brightside
i wonder what inspired the song then...
ARE YOU KIDDING ME APPLE MAN FROM MR.BRIGHTSIDES BACK DANGIT
+Mark Lovett he's also in Batman !
+Mark Lovett 'APPLE MAN' hahahahaha what a name!
that exactly what i was thinking too.
"OH SHIT! IT'S THAT GUY THAT THREW THE APPLES NO IT'S ALL GONNA GO TO CRAP NOW HE'S EVIL NOOOOOOO!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
this comment was the funniest shit 😂😂😂😂😂
Brandon Flowers just won't ever get over girls who dumped in high school... and then torments them with his success. love it!
Uhm..ok. Not at all what this is about, but ok.
Exactly he is a great role model and is backed by god.
Cheers to all of us who couldn't be with that one person.
Can we all agree that the animation style is freaking amazing?!
I agree. Love it
I dont know who made it but I'm pretty sure they're the same person who made the video for Jon Hopkins-Emerald Rush. Really incredible video, check it out.
It looks great but most of the motions are just looped which is kinda lazy but it looks good nonetheless I like it I just look at it from a animators view but idrc
Yesss, freaking amazing! Loved that animation since the first time I saw the video
Its done by titmouse studios! They do tons of pretty recognizable shows, and other musica videos. Good shit
This video shows that the reality can be more cruel than you can think. Is sad that the old man (Brandon) recieved a letter from his lover of the past, but then you figure out that the letter never really came. Shit is deep.
Never noticed that until you said it,thats some deep stuff right there
The letter never came because nothing really happened between the girl and that man... It was Brandon's jealousy that ruined everything. He thought that the girl cheated on him so he left. This song is connected to Mr. Brightside where he sings about jealousy. SHE was the one who waited, not him.
Brandon has written a lot about this girl. Mr. Brightside, Miss Atomic Bomb. I think some others are less obvious, Jilted Lovers and Broken Hearts, A Matter of Time, The Way it Was, Just Another Girl, maybe The Rising Tide. A stretch would be the cover of Romeo and Juliet. She had a huge impact on his life/music and I'm here for it. I'm happy for him.
This song cope me with the broken heart 3yrs ago...Thank you "the killer"
I hope you are healed ❤
lets just take a moment and slow clap for the killers. They saw the chance with Mr. Brightside and they took it.
3:20 I JUST REALISED, that's the main riff from Mr Brightside (Just slower and changed a bit to fit the chords of this song) :O
NO WAAAY!!!!
Ur making me cringe
2:31 And this from Mr Brightside video.
sure it is, they even said, that this is a Prequel to Mr Brightside
It's all one big story
That look he gives her at the end just speaks a thousand words, Brandon is actually a cracking actor he can say a lot with his face, that look says "You've absolutely done me, no more", It's a look i've had to give many times, I know it well.
I can recall my ex-girlfriend at the time played this song to me a week before she left me, and I didn't think a thing about it at the time, but after it happened I remember how much of a dagger to the heart this song was. Now I can truly appreciate the beauty of this song without it being a painful memory to me now.
This love story always makes me feel sad.
hahah me to like the my reality
Izabella Miko is absolutely stunning.
Also the guitar at 3:20 is playing the guitar riff from Mr. Brightside :)
+viperhalberd I haven't noticed that D:
is great ! :3
+viperhalberd Considering the parallels between this music video's story and Mr. Brightside's story, I wouldn't be surprised it both songs were intended to be about the same love affair.
Hell, they even use the same actor as the 'old rich classy guy'...
+RobotnikPlays And the lover/dancer is also the same actress, Izabella Miko, as well
+RobotnikPlays Definitely. Eric Roberts is still the same character, they all are.
+RobotnikPlays It's the end of a four part story. Originally the first three songs on Hot Fuss were supposed to be "Leave The Bourbon on the Shelf," followed by "Jenny was a Friend of Mine," and then "Mr. Brightside." "Leave the Bourbon on the Shelf" didn't make the cut for the album but showed up on Sawdust.
The story starts with a breakup, Brandon asks Jennifer to leave him his bourbon if nothing else, she's leaving him for another man. He plans to spend the evening drinking her memory away. In "Jenny was a Friend of Mine" Jenny has gone missing, presumably dead. Brandon is in questioning for her murder, and is fighting for his innocence. "Mr. Brightside" is after he's been wrongly convicted and released from prison "Comin' out of my cage..." He goes to Jenny's apartment and sees her with the other man, she is alive, and she is taking him to bed. As hurt and upset as he is, he attempts to get over what he's been through, and look on the "Bright Side" he has his freedom, he leaves the apartment and moves on with his life.
Finally, in "Miss Atomic Bomb" he is wondering where she is now. It's been eight years and he can't help but reminisce about when they first met. Even though she destroyed him, he can't help but remember fondly on what they used to be. He's over it, but he still carries it with him every day.
TL;DR: I look into these things way too much.

Can’t believe I am just hearing this masterpiece. Love when you find a song you know you’re going to listen to and never skip for the rest of your life.
For a second there we'd won...tears.
I was watching it for years and I just got it. She never cheated.
What do you mean?
The traition was in his mind
She was playing with him, he wanted him but was with the other guy.... Can u explain your view plz?
@@camilosuarez9622 she wasn't with him. He was never there. The older man was a figment of his imagination. In Mr. Brightside she is in love with the protagonist, but he's constantly so paranoid about her cheating on him because of her job as a show girl seducing men. But to her, all it is, is a job, but with him it's love. So now in Miss Atomic Blonde, when he goes to propose to her, we see a shot of her dancing alone in her room. But then when he sees a car resembling the older man's from earlier, his imagination kicks in, and when he looks up, he sees the older man appear out from the shadows, dances with her, kisses her, and then looks down through the window at him. But when it cuts back to her perspective, she is still dancing alone, and the older man is no longer standing by the window, as if he had just imagined all of it, and he walks away. Then there's also the animated shot of when he walks away, and he is growing older, and then you see three images. The first is the protagonist's imagination, which is the girl with the older man. The second is the reality of what happened to her after he left, which is that she was depressed and drank herself to tears, and the third is how her life turned out. She married another man, not the older man from the protagonist's imagination, but instead someone else, and they had children.
There's also more to it, but I think that's enough to get the idea across.
@Brad Neece But in the end the letter disappears... the letter where the girl is inquiring about what happened that night is not there... It may be because he can't accept that he left the love of his life just because something he "imagined" to happen that night... as for the drinking and marrying into another guy, those images come out from "thought clouds"... The guy ran away, never to see her again, he doesn't know what happened to her after that. he imagines that the girl lost her stardom (like most young stars) which made that rich old guy look for another pretty lady (like they do always) leaving her in a drunk (doomed) state but she probably married (according to our guy) to live a very average life. I think the song just tells the story of miscommunication between lovers. Because he never spoke out, he is going to live a life of confusion and uncertainty... maybe if he knew that she cheated for sure, he would have a family just like he imagines for her or with miss atomic bomb if he knew she didn't cheat for sure. He still loves her and also hates her for that night. This is what makes this song, i don't know, sad!!
I feel like Mr Brightside describes jealousy perfectly and Miss Atomic Bomb describes regret perfectly. And a question. Does it scare anyone that a past mistake may have fucked you over in the long run. For me I lost the girl of my absolute dreams. I know that's probably said a lot but she really was, yet I was dumb enough to be so addicted to a medicine and never listen to what she was saying she ended up moving on and found another guy. Now I believe love is wanting happiness for another even if you're not the source of it, so soon she'll be getting married and I'm supporting her entirely. But every once in awhile I just think, "What if I wasn't so stupid?" I know I have to live with the life decision I made then and move on but it does worry me that, what if I never find another woman that perfect. I'm not exactly great at being social, and it was a total fluke I met her (well really she met me cause I thought she was too good for me lol). It worries me sometimes.
dude I just went through the exact same thing. I had a girlfriend in the past who cheated on me and she just really messed with my head. Now a few months ago me and this beautiful funny harass girl started seeing each other( And really it was more like she found me cuz after she got my number she started texting me a few days later) but we would hang out and talk every night for hrs.. and just a few weeks ago she suddenly became really busy(literally, she wasn't doing anything wrong at all) and all day I'd try to reach her n my mind would race, but then eventually later those nights she'd call me back and had a rational reason everytime. But my paranoia started causing misunderstandings!! N about a week ago I tripped out on her and just started asking everything that was on my mind, when I should of bit my tounge or been more logical about it. But I explained and she understood and everything was fine after, but then a couple days later she wouldn't respond to me again. like I completely screwed up such a perfect thing going.. all because of my stupid paranoia! Lol like one of those days she was getting a new cat. But anyways sorry for the rant and ramble. I just thought it was crazy how similar our stories were, cuz I stopped being social and hanging out with friends a couple years ago. and now I'm 26. So now everyday I've been thinking if I'll ever get a chance to make things right, or find someone who was so perfect for me again.
The same here mate.I lost my perfect girl,the girl of my dreams for the same reason.She is 4 years more than me.We were just...amazing togheter,perfect sex,perfect sintony and same tastes for all and a wounderfull empathy.After 3 godlike years togheter I failed the school and relations for another year,my life starts to be totally mad,I fall in anxiety for everything,starts to abuse medicine,starts to have suicidal tendeces,being aggressive and start to don't care about her and at the same times being jeolous.After some month she lefts me and 3 weeks later she has found another man and in the same times I was in hospital because I tried to kill my self with 50 pils of Zoloft...I totally fucked up my life with that and now 8 months later I definitly can't go on.I feel so stupid about the choice I've made in my life...and I really can't erase how I treat her in the lasts months of our story,sometimes I sometimes cry for that
I know what it feels like to be in that state but you gotta try to push on if not for yourself think I'm doing it for her so that I won't hurt or drive another person like that away again
it may be hard man but definitely don't ever give up. The thing about humans is that there are a lot of us lol. meaning that there's never just one perfect girl in the world for everyone. The hard part is now you have to find another perfect girl for you, and when you find her you'll have the lessons from your past hardships to guide you on the right path. A little hard to explain in text but hopefully that makes sense :)
I lost my crush because I was too afraid and too much of a coward, ever since then, I have never been afraid to do anything
the summer heat brings with it all the scent of old passions.
He's Mr. Brightside, She's Miss Atomic Bomb. So nostalgic 2024
Dont mind me, I'm just gonna go cry in the corner.
"You're gonna miss me when I'm gone" is so true it hurts to listen in such a beautiful way.
Friend just recently reintroduced me to The Killers. I was aware of Mr. Brightside and When you were young, but I had no idea they had such an extensive catalog. This song has been repeat since rediscovery, I absolutely love it.
I love how they've grown from one song to the other. In the first video we can see the anger and wrath of youth feeling cheated on, and in this one we can see the acceptance and wisdom of age just wondering how a past happiness is doing.
I love how from 3:20 the electric guitar plays a riff similar to what plays constantly in the background of Mr. Brightside. Nice and not too blatantly the same. The nostalgia it evokes just hits me and I feel emotional haha
Wow, that's so cool.
+AiLoveGaara Now compare the Videos ^^
+AiLoveGaara This was written as a prequel to "Mr Brightside". He is a Genius songwriter!
DJ Spotti While I already knew this before I looked up the song, it's just the right amount of a hint to ring a bell in the mind of a listener who isn't aware of this beforehand. Such is a stroke of genius, I agree :)
it has the same actors and themes but i think the story told is different
Jealousy, one of the only things I wish I could have been born without...
Add ugliness and I'm in total agreement with you
Kamila Kawczak Lol dw my friend, im sure some grill will find you hot eventually, trust in me
yeah only problem is I am a 100% strait girl!!!
Kamila Kawczak if youre a girl and youre not extremely overweight/thin, I can 220% assure you it is just a matter of when, not if.
Thanks I guess..............
This song hurts different when you can relate too much
It explained the exaxt situation I went through about 7 years ago. Never felt love or loved a person like that, then & doubt I ever will. Can only be 25 & in your 20s once & no longer get to enjoy that youth & ambitions I once had, adventurous, fun, optimistic years where I went out every weekend full of hope, eyes bright but heartbreak, & dissapointment was all I got. All the women I dated or been with since have never quite came close or compared.
Crazy is I would still get hit up randomly by her periodically yesrs after seeing her, but she has kids & with another guy now; the thought of entertaining anything with her is long dead.
Weird is she will randomly comment on my social media posts, especially on my looks once in a rare while.
I'm still not over this entire album. It is so amazingly well written and soulful. Absolutely one of my favorite Killers albums
It's the best
Battle Born is their masterpiece. I feel it was written just for my life.
It's their best album, it's just underrated.
@@jrmy__youre right my dude.
@@jrmy__definitely underrated for sure
This is such a sad video. It made me feel like crying.
Me too it gives you that feeling inside
Its like the sequel to Mr Brightside! Forking love it! :D
When this song came out in 2012 I was dying to meet my miss atomic bomb, a few years later I was finally lucky enough to meet her, she had a curly long blonde hair and she was cute as hell. We lived like we were dying, we cheered every single moment, we laughed, we fucked, we lived, we loved. We had a fucking blast. Then we fell apart, she left, we were kids playing with love not knowing what to make of it. Although she left, I smile at the memory of our younger times together, it was a hell of a ride, it made me felt Alive, it made me feel what true love feels like.
Good luck out there, miss atomic bomb.
Beautiful and amazing, 2 words to describe this video/song. This song will always live inside my heart. Have a blessed 2024❤
❤🙏🏻
when i saw Eric Roberts i was like "hey! its the guy from Mr. Brightside!" then, through stifled tears i said, "my word, its a continuation of Mr. Brightside."
liek if yu cri every tiem.
I just wanted batman to swoop down and take out falcone
The blond girl is the same as Mr. Brightside too.
Hummingbe-backwardsR-d Saltamalachia I might be wrong, but the band playing the song seems to be the same as in Mr Brightside, too.
Listen at 3:20, it's the same guitar riff as mr brightside
When I watched this when I was young, I thought; how could she do this to him? How could she betray him and let him live a miserable life and then just be so happy.
Now I am a little older and I think..this man threw away everything because he misunderstood what was going on, he needed to talk to her and remember that she loves him and wouldn't do anything to hurt him.
I feel like I take music far to seriously..
+Aaron Marceau Not far enough I say
go on
thats it
oh wow, i didn't eve know it was just how I felt props bro for the clarification!
+Aaron Marceau I see the video as more a sad heart break story, as much as I hate to say it.
The young man (brandon) loses her to a richer, more defined (whatever) bachelor.
He imagines a better life with her, sees himself grow older (through the cartoon)
In the end, though, he realises the truth.
She left him for a man she thought was better than him.
All of the scenarios he thought up in the carton continue, but he realises it was just a dream, as they carry on without him.
Killers are actually really poetic or are very good with their meanings in their songs
this album came out when I was in high school, limited freedoms, dying to be more than I was, working at the mall after school, no car. I'm about to turn 27 and while I'm no millionaire or wildly successful, I am the dream my 17 year old me dared to dream
Sometimes we cannot wait to see who we can become. Time and life experience can shape us into the person we wanted to be ... or not. Remember that you can ALWAYS remake your mold and grow into You.
A boy with eager eyes- Ms Atomic Bomb
Open up your eager eyes cause I'm Mr Brightside- Mr Brightside

THE MAN WHO CAN'T BE MOVED IS BETTER...IS MORE SAD
The way they linked Mr. Brightside and gave us this sad back story is brilliant. Just a masterpiece lying here to be discovered for a few chosen by the universe itself, Lucky you (reading this)

I will never regret the time I find out about The Killers.
I used to give a damn about The Killers. I mean, I knew them, but I didn't care about their music. I never listened their songs besides "Bones" or "Mr. Brightside." Two years ago, I met this amazing girl, who used to love The Killers. Everyday, she played them and made me listen to them, especially this song and "Read My Mind". I started to like them. Once, I got bored and I started to ignore her. She dedicated me a song from them, and I forget about it because I didn't care about what she said (Later, I found it was "The Way It Was"). At the end, we broke up, but she loved me anyways. I didn't. I hurted her. We kept being friends, though. I love Dianna Agron so when Just Another Girl went out, I showed her and was excited because of her. Then I realised that I wasn't excited because Dianna, I was excited because the song talked about her, the girl. I realised I did love her. I started having feelings again, and we tried to date. It didn't work, because there was another person who told her I cheated. Even though I explained, she didn't listen and stopped talking to me. So do I. I have been listening to this song for a year, and I can't forget her. I was a bitch and an idiot. She is dating a boy now and is engaged. I want the best for her and I hope he is the love of her life. I want her to have the family she always wanted. Last month was her birthday. So... Happy birthday, Em.
+Mariana Mihaljevic thats sad man
***** I am! Actually, we've been talking since December. She has a baby and she's ok. Currently I'm dating someone :) Thank you for your concern.
ha nerd
+Damian Enriquez Yas. Any problem with that?
+Mariana Mihaljevic nerd
The girl I care about loves the killers and so do I. I ended up hurting her feelings over something trivial. She said she needed space and here I am crying while watching the video for the first time. The song always reminded me of her and i'm afraid that this music video is my story. its hard because I feel like I would do anything for this person.
i hope it gets better for you ^^
You're a simp, dude.
Don't be.
@@maga-hat709 bruh leave the man alone, it's his life not yours.
Don't overthink it. Everybody makes mistakes.. she's not excluded from that. Would you break up the moment she does something wrong? Probably not. So don't beat yourself up over someone who doesn't value you enough.
I remember a ride back to my ex's house from a party after a fight, this song started playing and I was staring at the moon on the passenger side and saying the lyrics "You're gonna miss me when I'm gone" out loud. She started crying and we broke up a couple of weeks later. Greatest love of my life. Hope she's doing well.
Sounds like she already had decided before you eve sang that song
This animation is beautiful. This should be a movie
david stanley
I agree.
It reminds me of Peter Chung's work, and brings me even harder to my younger years
i think it has some moebius influence
I also agree😝
I'd love to see a killers movie
I think we all have a miss atomic bomb in our lives :'(
just one?
Rich Mancave You have only one true love,
I mean the real one.
i've had 2 so far. and yeah it's taken me years to get over it when it's gone south and at the time and for years later i really felt nothing for anyone else but eventually someone new comes along.
I hope someone comes along 'cause nowadays I've been felling like shit due to the girl I thought was the only one.
Yes, I had a "Miss Atomic Bomb". Let me tell you how that worked out. I partially ruined a relationship because of my jealousy, which is what this video depicted. I admit now, it was 60% my fault, 40% hers (I was jealous, she showed little interest in me, though we lived together, as time wore on). Eight years after the fact, I was in a new relationship, older and much more mature. Miss Atomic Bomb contacted me to meet up.
My new "Miss Atomic Bomb" was miraculously gracious and confident enough to allow me to meet with my ex, alone. I had one mission: to show how pleased I was in the present. It worked. My ex was pretty unhappy in her current long term relationship. Her ridiculously successful boyfriend had no idea she was out with me. We talked, relived old times, bar hopped and drank really hard. Her hand traveled a second south when we were saying our goodbyes. I stopped it. I was happy where I was and she was shocked. She was still very much attracted to me and I was totally not into it.
I still have her on Facebook. Her now-husband, with whom she bought a small New England mansion they are restoring, carries her financially while she hops from profession to college to profession to college. Never totally satisfied. Imagine that. I could have been carrying that load. #hashtagwin
You were standing with your girlfriends in the street
Falling back on forever, I wonder what you came to be
I was new in town, the boy with the eager eyes
I never was a quitter, oblivious to schoolgirls' lies
When I look back on those neon lights
The leather seats, the passage rite
I feel the heat, I see the light
Miss Atomic Bomb
Making out, we've got the radio on
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Racing shadows under moonlight
Through the desert on a hot night
And for a second there we'd won
Yeah, we were innocent and young
Cast out of the night, well you've got a foolish heart
So you took your place but the fall from grace was the hardest part
It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back
You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack
Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black
You should have seen your little face, burnin' for love
Holdin' on for your life
All that I wanted was a little touch,
A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much, no
Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time
Miss Atomic Bomb
Making out we've got the radio on
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
Racing shadows under moonlight
We're taking chances on a hot night
And for a second there we'd won
Yeah we were innocent and young
The dust cloud has settled, and my eyes are clear
But sometimes in dreams of impact I still hear
Miss Atomic Bomb, I'm standing here
Sweat on my skin
And this love that I've cradled
Is wearing thin (Miss Atomic Bomb)
But I'm standing here and you're too late
Your shock-wave whisper has sealed your fate
It feels just like a dagger buried deep in your back (it's a proving ground)
You run for cover but you can't escape the second attack (and you turn it to chance)
Your soul was innocent, she kissed him and she painted it black (on a loser's game)
You should have seen your little face, burning for love,
(Miss Atomic Bomb)
Holdin' on for your life
But you can't survive (All that I wanted was a little touch)
When you want it all (A little tenderness and truth, I didn't ask for much)
There's another side (Talk about being at the wrong place at the wrong time)
The video it speaks so much in this beautiful technological world and just regular human conflict. Simple and beautiful. Thanks Brandon!
The killers Always have such Beautiful videos, its Always a thrill to Watch their videos their so creative and really want to impress their fans. Unlike some artists who just stand behind a green scene and dances, theirs Always a story to their videos.
+1
well.....I mean... for their music video "For Reasons Unknown" they kinda did that, literally. But I get what you mean. They even got Tim Burton to direct the killers music video "Bones" which is my all time favorite music video.
Woah, I just realized the last lyrics, "but you can't survive, when you ant it all, there's another side" are directly referring to "Gotta gotta be down because I want it all" and the term Mr. Brightside in general. God damn man. Almost five years later and I'm still discovering shit about this song.
RedTV8888 this is also why they play me bright side guitar rif at 3:20...genius
@@thecelestinejourney7574 holy shit you just blew my mind! For years I've listened to this song and just now heard that😲
This band continues to amaze with music.
Cada vez que escucho está canción siento una motivación para hacer aquellas cosas que no podía lograr, te amo The Killers ❤️
Vamos a Lograrlo! 🎉
Llegaste al punto
This comments section is making my day. I go to school in Indiana, and there are no Killers fans here. I mean, there are people who know some of their songs, but I have not met any die hard fans like me. It makes me happy and feel less alone when I see so many comments of people connecting to their songs and enjoying their music :) I feel like you guys are a family to me thru The Killers. I hope you all are having great days and remembering not to break character because you have soooooooo much heart
Clarice Tweeten same here. my friends don't even know their songs.. even just one song 😩 I can only talk about the Killers with my brother..
Jajajajajajajajajaajjajaa I do the same, my friend doesn't like the killers, I don't have nothing to talk about that I understanding this song..... XD greetings have a nice day B)
Same here in brazil.its so sad..
Wow...that Fallout feeling...
Raiders!... Where... Raiders!... no no! not... The Superdupermart...
DeneuveesthabilleeparSoandso. crax Worry not, we can take them out and take it back!
I didn't see any Deathclaws or Radscorpions, though.
Gabriel Hole-Jones my brass knuckles took care of those deathclaws easy.
DeneuveesthabilleeparSoandso. crax Woah, we got an Unarmed 100 over here!
My resentful mind never forgive her but my courageous heart keeps praying for her... Miss u Doni...
I watched this the night it came out, obviously since i was 11 i didnt understand the circumstances of the song but ive visited every other year or so and it just makes more and more sense.
I dont know how, but the Killers seem to be able to capture feeling in their music more so than any other artist i've ever heard, its frankly pretty amazing.
The Killers are great and they absolutely do what you say. I challenge you to listen to Bob Dylan's original work of 'Girl from North Country' and 'Boots of Spanish Leather.' Also, the live 'royal albert hall' version of 'Visions of Johanna.' Believe me, he does it too.
Maybe not your style, but I deeply recommend you to hear Florence + The Machine
Try listening to Hurts as well...they also have an amazing way of capturing emotions in their music!
Aw, man! A motorcycle just blasted past my house at exactly the right moment!
This video profoundly changed my outlook on life. I didn’t wanna end up being a sad, broken old man filled with regrets...I changed, opened up and started a new life. Choice....gods greatest gift.
3:41 his smile dammmn😭
❤️❤️❤️❤️dammmn,he makes me see the love through his eyes
Love it
THERE'S SOMETHING SO SAD AND SPECIAL IN THIS SONG...BUT WHAT IT IS?
Cool Guy Caleb THANKS MAN...NOW I KNOW IT ALREADY
maybe his keyboard is busted? lol
I know it's been a while, but to me the most special part is that the singer declares that she "will miss me when I am gone" - powerful, and sad.

I got my first ever tattoo as a reference to this song, and the feelings it evokes in me about my fiancé. It is an atomic bomb with the day I met her on it. We are to be married November 6, and she will forever be my Miss Atomic Bomb.
Brett Borden that was fucking beautiful
Brett Borden *Mrs. atomic bomb
The right guy doesn't always get the girl. That's life. I live it.
Dejo mi comentario acá para que cuando a alguien se le ocurra dejar un "me gusta", me llegue una notificación y me recuerde que tengo que volver a escuchar esta obra de arte.
Sucks to say, but the best thing that ever happened to Mr. Flowers was being heart broken, otherwise we would no have Mr. brightside, Ms. Atomic Bomb, Another girl, Human... So many of us feel the same right now Sir. Thanks for putting it in words..
Why is Eric Roberts always stealing Izabella Miko from Brandon Flowers?
Old man Roberts is one smooth cat, its gonna take more than a broken hip for him to stop hittin it.
xXOd3adkatOXx Jones He's actress Emma Roberts' dad.
Because he's effin hot :)
Because he's a nozzle?
Right! He sure is hot. Please don't use "f" bombs, because swearing upsets me.
She could have anything she wanted , and he just wanted her. She blew his world up .
I almost cried when it showed that clip of them from the Mr. Brightside video lol it was so quick but I felt it 😭
you RUN FOR COVER but you can't escape the second attack
💔😭
This made me appreciate Mr Brightside more 8 years later
When the riff of Mr brightside starts playing I just can't
