The song doesn’t properly start until two minutes in. If you’re here just for that, then skip to that time. Otherwise, enjoy the seven and a half music video.

Though I’m not the biggest fan of 30 Seconds to Mars, I do think all of the singles released from “A Beautiful Lie” are great. Around the time that their music videos started appearing on TV, I was just starting my first year of secondary school. There never seemed to be a moment when one of their videos wasn’t showing on MTV. If, let’s say, “The Kill”‘s music video stopped playing because the single was getting old and didn’t need to get into the charts then the band’s newer video would start playing instead. It was mad stuff, though they had to be heavily edited due to the band’s tendency to make their videos as short films. “From Yesterday”‘s video did not differ from this, as you can see. Apparently there’s a thirteen minute version.

The track is the seventh on the band’s second album, and from looking at it’s lyrics I can only suggest that it’s about….. the President?…. maybe? You can contest me on that one. Generally, hearing it nearly every day either after coming home from school, or in the mornings when getting ready pretty much forced me to remember its melody and  everything else. Though it wasn’t a song that I found annoying or repetitive, so I wasn’t bothered. Still, doesn’t bother me today. Nice to hear it when it pops up on the iPod now and again. Reminds me of being in year 7.
