30 Seconds To Mars - From Yesterday

"From Yesterday" was the third single from 30 Seconds to Mars' second album, A Beautiful Lie, hitting US radio in October 2006, and when it went to the top of Modern Rock Tracks, it gave them a Billboard chart-topper for the very first time. Josh Abraham produced it with the band, who share the writing credit, and Ryan Williams recorded and mixed it.

It's widescreen alternative rock, all pounding drums, swelling synths and a chorus that sounds built to fill an arena. It also won the Kerrang! Award for Best Single. Its video is thought to be the first American clip filmed wholly inside the People's Republic of China, and it was the last one to feature bassist Matt Wachter.
