An iconic song that still gives me chills every time I hear it.

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.

A song about betrayal, It hurts to listen to because people can relate.

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.
