"'Out Of My Mind'" is the 28th single by English new wave band Duran Duran. The song is part of their ninth album, 'Medazzaland' (1997), but was released as a single from the soundtrack to the 1997 Val Kilmer film 'The Saint'.

Background and release



During the development of 'Medazzaland', "Out Of My Mind" was written by Simon Le Bon as the last of a trilogy of songs for his late friend David Miles (the others being "Do You Believe in Shame?" and "Ordinary World"). After the album was complete, Capitol Records shopped around certain tracks to Hollywood movie studios, hoping to get a Duran Duran song attached to one of the year's summer blockbusters. In January, Paramount Pictures showed interest in including "Out Of My Mind" on the soundtrack album for 'The Saint'.

In March 1997, the soundtrack and single for "Out Of My Mind" were released internationally on Virgin Records, marking the first time a Duran Duran release (single or album) had been released on an imprint other than EMI/Parlophone (or Capitol/EMI for North America). Virgin was also a division of EMI at the time. The single peaked at #21 on UK Singles Chart in May, and at #14 in Italy.

Music video



The accompanying music video for "Out of My Mind" was filmed by director Dean Karr in February, at the historic Krumlov Castle in the city of esk Krumlov, in the Czech Republic.[http://www.duranduran.sk/stories/fanstories_KrumlovENG.html Duran Duran at Krumlov Castle] It featured many special effects, including the use of sophisticated prosthetic makeup to age singer Simon Le Bon over the course of the video.

B-sides, bonus tracks and remixes



"Out Of My Mind" featured the two b-sides "Sinner or Saint" (written specifically for the movie) and "Silva Halo", an album track from 'Medazzaland'.

There were a multitude of remixes done for the track, mostly by the Perfecto crew (Paul Oakenfold and Steve Osborne).  In 1997-2001 live performances, the band chose to perform the darker and more rock-oriented Perfecto version rather than the album version.
