I played it at my wedding in Syracuse, NY!! An American anthem, with British influence I would say. This song is SO good that you think that they are British, but they’re not!! Lol.
Why do people play Mr Brightside at weddings? Have they not listened to the lyrics? The Police 'Every Step You Take' is another example. It's about a stalker.
well, the couples that get married may have been betrayed in the past, and because they looked forward and heard that destiny was calling them, they now live something beautiful and full of promises..
It's not about a stalker, it's about getting cheated on, and trying to look at the brightside. That's why it has lines like "choking on your alibi". Brandon Flowers was cheated on by his past girlfriend a bit before he wrote the song.
