From Yesterday is the third single off 30 Seconds to Mars's second album, A Beautiful Lie.
[edit] Chart Success
From Yesterday has shot to #1 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart[1], making it 30 Seconds to Mars first #1 on any Billboard chart. From Yesterday's success even eclipses that of The Kill, a song considered to be the band's breakthrough single.
[edit] Music Video
The video to From Yesterday follows in the footsteps of it's predecessors and is over 13 minutes long, telling a detailed story about a Chinese ruler. The ruler seems to be a fan of the band and requests their presence at his birthday as a present. Upon their appearance at the castle, they are presented with decrees and Jared questions, "This is a gift?"
The band is then shown putting on traditional Chinese armor before meeting in an alleyway for a battle against 4 others who are dressed in identical armor. This scene is mixed with scenes of the band walking through the palace, encountering many peculiarities of daily Chinese life. In the end, 30 Seconds to Mars is shown performing in the courtyard, with fireworks in the background.
[edit] Trivia
- Actor Willem Dafoe makes a cameo in the video as a member of the Emperor's court.
