When people say this songs makes people feel better people don’t realise that this was written after he found out he was being cheated on, so he made a draft that night and most of the lyrics weren’t changed as he wanted it to be as close to how he felt in that moment as he could, so at one of this legends lowest times he made a song that will be timeless and I have full respect and hope that this will never be forgotten

the “because I want it all” in the second verse wrecks me also the “I never…” x 4 at the end my theory of what I feel like he was saying: “I never…would’ve done this to you” “I never…imagined you doing this to me” “I never…did this to you in the past” & “I never…could comprehend doing this to you in the future/it ending this way” side note: this music video & the direction of brandon’s movements & facial expressions/the editing is stunning.
I ABSOLUTELY agree!!! It’s like you can feel his pain but also relief …! It’s hard to explain but yet so simple … like neverrr in a million years ….

@@EkardRimidalvno? It’s sarcasm. He walked in on his girlfriend cheating on him, it’s when you’re angry as hell but you want to show you’re better than them.
It's also a sin for 5-minute crafts to put the intro in their video and not give credit. My sister was watching a video from them and this started playing,I thought it was karaoke so I started singing and guess what it fucking cut off right before the chorus. You don't even want to know how mad I got.
only 11 hours and this is already at the top of the comment section. im usually not the kinda guy to point out that stuff but that's genuinely impressive to me
2004, a unknown band called The Killers released Mr Brightside from their debut album Hot Fuss, 20 yrs later one of the best albums and songs ever released and it will never be forgotten. Thank you The Killers for making one iconic album and songs.
As of today, Mr. Brightside has been in the U.K. charts for 320 weeks, which is more than 6 years. Unbelievable. No song will ever come close to that level of success.
I had never heard pf this song before today, never even heard of the killers before. Guess I can thank youtube suggestions for dragging me out of under that rock.
Played on my prom a couple days ago. All the other songs were kinda shit. (For God's sake, they played Despacito!!) And I said that as soon as a good song plays, I'll get up and dance. Then I heard that opening guitar... didn't step off the dance floor for a couple hours... Thanks to Mr Brightside, my prom night was the best night of my life.

Lauren Campbell Why the hell is this the top comment on every music video? It's so dumb, no shit its still a good song, songs don't deteriorate with time, they don't age like cars or people.
It really is true-this track has maintained the same emotional power and relevance for almost 15 years. Every time I hear it, I feel myself reliving a thousand other days when this track helped me to calmly analyze a difficult situation or time. Never has a song had more therapeutic value like Mr. Brightside.
Hey Daniel, Below I will post my comment that once became the top comment on this video. I saw The Killers on 6 March this year at the front row. When they played this song, I jumped the highest I ever did. During this song Brandon Flowers looked me right in the eyes so history was written that day. Lately he says before playing this as last song of the set: 'Listen. I know life can be tough. Sometimes that's the way it goes. But you gotta remember... Sometimes, it goes the other way too.' Words I will never forget, and I hope you will do the same. Short said, but straight to the heart. When he said that, I was already in tears because I knew the moment of my life was coming in a few seconds. Some things will never be forgotten. This is my story: You can interpret the song in different ways but for me personally it remembers me of the hardest time of my life. I have the Asperger syndrome (a kind of autism) which makes me have obsessions. My main obsession is music. Once in my life I fell in love with the no. 1 perfect girl I could imagine. Beautiful, smart, attentive, sense of humor... We talked / chatted every day (whether on Facebook or in real life) and became best / good friends. I thought about her every minute. She made me smile and laugh every time. She always read and listened to all the shit I had to say and always reacted so helpful. One day tragedy happened... She became together with a good friend of me and I felt so angry and sad. Me and her were still good friends, although he didn't really like that haha, I felt too scared to tell her my intense, passionate, insanely, deep love for her. One day they broke up for a while and decided to tell her my true feelings. That was the end of our friendship. The guy was even totally pissed at me because I didn't tell him first before saying it to her, while I was thinking like: What's your problem compared with what I go / went through... Through that time, this song made me cry for over a hundred times and I smashed my fist many times on the wall 'til it was bleeding. Once when this song came on in my playlist on shuffle, I even fainted. This is the only well-known and good song I know that I can relate to with my experience / story. After our friendship broke, I decided for myself to oblige myself to never fall in love again, because it might kill me. I don't need compassion or anything, I just wanted to share this with random strangers. Maybe some people can relate to it and went through the same like me, although I hope you all didn't. Btw, I even didn't tell any of my friends that this is my favorite and most emotional song. ;) In March I will see The Killers and when this tune starts, I'm already sure I'm gonna cry like a total baby, haha. If I would be in the mood to rage, then I still got the fences, right? ;D Sincerely, Mr. Brightside
Daniel Varney had to be the 300th like to certify an agree 100% to dis post this song is golden I remember watching it on MTV back in the day somehow without cable
You know, Mr.Brightside is still on the charts. Imagine being the one this song was written about. Years later hoping the song would die out, the song hasn't left. I'm feeling big karma vibes 👀🤔
Kate Smith it's basically a slightly altered version of ode to joy. If you listen to the breakdown of the song and then hear Beehoven, they are eerily similar. I'm not sure if that was accidental or intended
Me too!🍷😎That moment when you remember the pain you felt when you looked in that window and saw EVERYTHING!AND then remember that that was 30 yrs ago and you dont give a shit.Just want to hear a badd azz song!100%😎
I feel I had my difficulty level set to novice back then, now I live on expert mode, and even though I love every second of it, I would appreciate if someone could show me how to set it back to moderate level 😅
Same dude. But its all good. Shit happens but life always goes on. It'll feel horrible for a while, but once you get to the point that you just feel bad it'll be alot different. If that makes sense 😂
Brandon isn't actually the one who was writing a lot of the lyrics, especially when they first started out. He's credited so I'm sure he had input, but Ronnie and Dave (the drummer and guitarist) are known as the ones who do most of the writing, Brandon is more on the music side. You can hear the difference in his solo album-- the music is stylistically the same, but the lyrics aren't on the same level.
Not just anyone can get more than 550 million views on a video, besides this song is "practically" England's anthem. So yes, he is a genius.@@davidcrooks8642
@@joeyrooney7151 I always thought it was about having sex with someone and them dumping you for someone else. I guess what you said makes more sense though.
If I ever have a son or daughter, I'm going to play this song all the time when they're really small then suddenly stop playing it. And wait for them to discover this.
You know, it's funny, the YT algorithm has been improving a lot lately and I think it's due to the fact that there are so many more viewing hours feeding their datasets lately during these Covid times. The algorithm has also brought me here to this video again, somehow, just like you and most of the others that are watching as of late, and it's obvious that it's benefitting from our fear and despair; our desire to go back to times before. Anyway, the memberberries are strong in us but we need to be strong as well and embrace the coming unknown. Cheers!

Hey Daniel,
Below I will post my comment that once became the top comment on this video. I saw The Killers on 6 March this year at the front row. When they played this song, I jumped the highest I ever did. During this song Brandon Flowers looked me right in the eyes so history was written that day. Lately he says before playing this as last song of the set: 'Listen. I know life can be tough. Sometimes that's the way it goes. But you gotta remember... Sometimes, it goes the other way too.' Words I will never forget, and I hope you will do the same. Short said, but straight to the heart. When he said that, I was already in tears because I knew the moment of my life was coming in a few seconds. Some things will never be forgotten.
This is my story:
You can interpret the song in different ways but for me personally it remembers me of the hardest time of my life. I have the Asperger syndrome (a kind of autism) which makes me have obsessions. My main obsession is music. Once in my life I fell in love with the no. 1 perfect girl I could imagine. Beautiful, smart, attentive, sense of humor... We talked / chatted every day (whether on Facebook or in real life) and became best / good friends. I thought about her every minute. She made me smile and laugh every time. She always read and listened to all the shit I had to say and always reacted so helpful.
One day tragedy happened... She became together with a good friend of me and I felt so angry and sad. Me and her were still good friends, although he didn't really like that haha, I felt too scared to tell her my intense, passionate, insanely, deep love for her. One day they broke up for a while and decided to tell her my true feelings. That was the end of our friendship. The guy was even totally pissed at me because I didn't tell him first before saying it to her, while I was thinking like: What's your problem compared with what I go / went through...
Through that time, this song made me cry for over a hundred times and I smashed my fist many times on the wall 'til it was bleeding. Once when this song came on in my playlist on shuffle, I even fainted. This is the only well-known and good song I know that I can relate to with my experience / story.
After our friendship broke, I decided for myself to oblige myself to never fall in love again, because it might kill me.
I don't need compassion or anything, I just wanted to share this with random strangers. Maybe some people can relate to it and went through the same like me, although I hope you all didn't. Btw, I even didn't tell any of my friends that this is my favorite and most emotional song. ;)
In March I will see The Killers and when this tune starts, I'm already sure I'm gonna cry like a total baby, haha. If I would be in the mood to rage, then I still got the fences, right? ;D
Sincerely,
Mr. Brightside
Daniel Varney had to be the 300th like to certify an agree 100% to dis post this song is golden I remember watching it on MTV back in the day somehow without cable
Thank you so much for sharing Jacoby! I can relate on so many levels

that is a lot to write
You know, Mr.Brightside is still on the charts. Imagine being the one this song was written about. Years later hoping the song would die out, the song hasn't left. I'm feeling big karma vibes 👀🤔

I sampled it 😉

Beat that.
Does anyone remember actually hearing this song for the first time or is just implanted in our brains?
Kate Smith Implanted.

Kate Smith
I remember my dad said, "You might like this song."
And i did.
I fucking did.
Kate Smith I remember hearing it on the radio on the way to the beech in 2005 with my parents I guess I'm happy to not have grown up with auto tune
Kate Smith it's basically a slightly altered version of ode to joy. If you listen to the breakdown of the song and then hear Beehoven, they are eerily similar. I'm not sure if that was accidental or intended
Those bass lines are incredible.
Was it “tight”?
That awkward moment you're coming out of your cage but you haven't been doing just fine

I feel I had my difficulty level set to novice back then, now I live on expert mode, and even though I love every second of it, I would appreciate if someone could show me how to set it back to moderate level 😅
Can’t believe it’s been twenty years since British people were made
20 years 😢, let me go back a little bit to listen to it as if it were a hit again...
Go nathan aspinall, gogogogogo

That's okay. Just keep going until you do.
Same dude. But its all good. Shit happens but life always goes on. It'll feel horrible for a while, but once you get to the point that you just feel bad it'll be alot different. If that makes sense 😂

That would take you about 7 and a half years by my calculations.

Without pain, unfortunately, the world wouldn't know this guy's genius.
No pain no gain
Gain is after the pain just like sun is after the rain
Same with most singers somehow
Brandon isn't actually the one who was writing a lot of the lyrics, especially when they first started out. He's credited so I'm sure he had input, but Ronnie and Dave (the drummer and guitarist) are known as the ones who do most of the writing, Brandon is more on the music side. You can hear the difference in his solo album-- the music is stylistically the same, but the lyrics aren't on the same level.
Genius is a bit of a stretch
Not just anyone can get more than 550 million views on a video, besides this song is "practically" England's anthem. So yes, he is a genius.@@davidcrooks8642
This isn’t a song
It’s a story of life
What's the meaning of this song?
yo yo jealousy and regrets, but seeing a better future
Rooney wow thank you only if the whole world was like this but alot of people have evil spirits in them and dont know
@@joeyrooney7151 I always thought it was about having sex with someone and them dumping you for someone else. I guess what you said makes more sense though.

I like how aggressively he sings the 'just fine' line in the second verse.
Yes! I also appreciate all those slight moves\expressions he makes.. very subtle and artistic. I think he might have been a great actor as well!
Love this I used listen to this song when I’ve asked out a girl
This is possibly the worst song to listen to when getting ready to ask someone out.

Can’t believe this song is 20 years old. It still hits me in my angsty little heart every time I hear it.
Same, it kills me every time.
Even wilder, as of June of this year it was still charting in the UK.
?
20 YEARS???????????
It says it was posted 14 years ago also I remember being in high school when this came out so it can’t be 20 years old I’m 29
I was driving and this song was played on the radio then my 5 years old nephew asked me "what song is this"
Im like "welcome to the phase"
I sure hope he never has to have the mr brightside feeling though. It's horrible.
This is my first time listening to this song. But I am past my emo phase.
Nonetheless this song is Amazing
@@anasmakky4429 it's amazing...but depressing
@@yofavloser yes it is
who knew levi had an emo phase
i feel like the reason we all love this song is because we can relate to watching someone you love fall in love with someone else.
JoeyGuacomole I’ve never been in love so no
Pain.
i feel like its more about the paranoia of being cheated on in the relationship due to jealousy i think probably
@@hyenagametalk7293 I think this is the universal anthem for romantic jealousy, whatever the situation.
or just cause it's a masterpiece.
I loved this when it was released, and now at 56...
I still bloody love it, was played at my 50th birthday bash.
I wish I could reverse time a bit.

You know, it's funny, the YT algorithm has been improving a lot lately and I think it's due to the fact that there are so many more viewing hours feeding their datasets lately during these Covid times. The algorithm has also brought me here to this video again, somehow, just like you and most of the others that are watching as of late, and it's obvious that it's benefitting from our fear and despair; our desire to go back to times before. Anyway, the memberberries are strong in us but we need to be strong as well and embrace the coming unknown. Cheers!
then reverse
