She dreams of love with Thirty Seconds to Mars

Song: "Bright Lights"
Artist: Thirty Seconds to Mars
Album: Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams

Quite a few of the songs I listen to are ones that I've chased down after hearing them on a movie or television soundtrack. This one is certainly no exception, as it's from the Nikita series finale episode. My wife and I are rewatching the show on Netflix, so this song was fresh in my mind. Even though I'd heard of Thirty Seconds to Mars years earlier, this is the first song I'd heard from this album, and it's probably my favorite song that they've done, although I haven't listened to every one of their songs on every album. Which is probably something I should rectify...

Thirty Seconds to Mars is actor Jared Leto's band, which he started with his brother Shannon. They've been recording and performing in the band since 1998 and have sold fifteen million copies of their four released studio albums in that time. They also set a Guinness World Record for the "Longest Concert Tour by a Rock Band" in 2011 when they finished their 309th show for their album This Is War. By the way, those 309 shows were performed over the course of only two years, which means they spent two entire years averaging a concert every other day.

I highly recommend checking out their music (and the show Nikita of course).
