Don Diablo - Mr. Brightside
Mr. Brightside by The Killers is not only one of the biggest indie rock anthems of all times it has also been a big part of the soundtrack of my life since the day it was released. Originally I just wanted to make a special version of the song exclusively for my DJ sets, but reactions have been so strong that we decided to reach out to the band and their management. A few years went by but then suddenly the last pieces of the puzzle fell together and I got the official blessing to release my version of “Mr Brightside” for the rest of the world. I tried to maintain the spirit of the original whilst adding some more emotional and melodic layers, so I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I enjoyed working on the song. Sometimes we all need a little reminder to embrace the bright side of life, especially in times like these. - Don -
