Spoiler for extra info:
These guys used to have a really cool video to this song. The music video was a collab they did with one of their friends. It seems like their label has stupidly removed it.
Dude, thanks for posting this. I tried getting some more info on this band by checking a lot of The Silver Comet's social-media links, but many of them no longer work. That's never a good sign, so I have no idea if they're still together. But thank you for informing me that before all that went poof, you were able to see a music video for this song that had a guy getting chased out of his car by what later turned out to be a shadow of himself, and that of his bandmates. The video finished with the band playing on a rooftop.

Thank you for also informing me that the band's lead singer tried out for American Idol, at least from what you can remember they had written about themselves. Normally, that may not go over for me, but I like the band's spirit and energy in "Lose Your Mind." It's very melodic too, although perhaps a little overly so if I'm being honest. I dig the part where it pauses for a few seconds in the beginning, and I also like the bridge in the third half. That was unexpected. Both of those additions help keep the song from falling into the verse/chorus/verse pattern.

If I had to take off points, it's because I feel that it could have gone even harder than it does. Still, a nice effort from a band comprised of friends whose stated goal was to re-infuse rock music with some soul.

7/10.
