Muse - Space Dementia

[21stfelice321]

pure awesomeness : The Piano , the lyrics !, Matts voice, the fuckin` whole song!

one of the best onnOOS :)

[shogun1556]

Probably the best song on Origin Of Symmetry, in my opinion.

[123mene]

fucking awesome piano :O

[Witsarunemitea]

@paris111191 The very first word is H8 and I think it stands for Hate not Height =\

En gros je pense pas qu'il veuille dire la hauteur mais la haine, c'est peut-être plus logique

[EvilViolentAstewoids]

@Witsarunemitea hey, check out this link

/Space_Dementia_(song)

it's from musewiki (youtube won't let me post the whole link)

Matt explained H8 himself

[Witsarunemitea]

@EvilViolentAstewoids Oh thanks. Now that's clear but at the same time even less clear xD

[EvilViolentAstewoids]

@Witsarunemitea haha:D yeah it's Matt, he's the only living person who can understand it:)

[DeathTimer]

3 favorite songs from Origin Of Symmetry:

3. Feeling Good (took the original song to a new style, completely. Absolutely amazing)

2. Citizen Erased (one of the toughest songs I ever heard)

1. SPACE DEMENTIA (the piano, the bass-line, the drums, the effects, the singing, the ending... many artists tried to make a crazy musical piece by enhancing all of the things above, and they're failing most of the time. Muse did it and all of these things magically connected to a tremendous musical piece!)

[TheWildfireGate]

Sami Callihan!

[AlotofLucy]

replay button is evil, cant stop hitting it

[rockerpunK0]

Not listened to this in ages and just did,Gets even more amazing each listen :')

[Yamamanama]

Oh no! I know what you want! You've coveted my ice cream bar! No you don't! You can't take it from me now! I've had it ever since I was a child. Everywhere I go, people always try to take it from me! Why won't they leave.. me.. ALOOONNNNNE!!!"

[Simon0]

@Yamamanama i love that!!

[Yamamanama]

"They think I'm crazy, but I know better. It is not I who am crazy, it is I who am MAD! Can't you hear them? Can't you see the crowds? Oh, my beloved ice cream bar. How I love to lick your creamy center! And your oh-so-nutty chocolate covering! You're not like the others, you like the same things I do! Wax paper, boiled football leather- DOG BREATH! We're not hitch-hiking anymore! We're riding!...

[ravenswoodsable]

I don't know if you guys noticed, but space dementia is a derivated song deeply inspired by Rachmaninov piano concerto No.2 in C minor, op.18. Go watch it. You'll see.

[ILostTheGamelul]

@ravenswoodsable Yeah, you can see a huge influence from that. It's quite beautiful :3

[mrsCorzoo]

ahhh <333 this song make me alive :* <33333

[Tayuya12611]

You make me sick

Because I adore you so

I love all the dirty tricks

And twisted games you play

On me

[SculptedThoughts]

I love songs that place love and hatred in juxtaposition. Oh, and Matt sounds hot.

[SuperLovekatyperry]

awesome song

[jiopazos]

Es la reencarnacion de jeff buckley :O!....

[Kamyu03]

Muse is so great, the greatest band nowadays and the greatest since queen.

[Barmyandlight]

"You know what you should do, Sami? You should kill Corvis."

[grymreepar]

4:56 best part

[Noisedown]

Sorry I meant classically-influenced.

[Noisedown]

Fantastic song from one of the best albums in the XXI's century. The classically-piano is amazing.

[wtevwwe11]

@TheJuicyEmily Yes, I don't know who wrote that, but it wasn't matthew xD

[Emilyyllove]

@wtevwwe11 Hahaha!

[Xzanten]

@TheJuicyEmily

my OoS booklet says "Height"

[wtevwwe11]

@Xzanten It's wrong in the booklet, it's H8 :-)

[Sham00oo00]

this is f****** hard to play on piano

[SaiyaAkuma]

@Sham00oo00 I believe that O_O

[TheDancinTree]

@Sham00oo00 disagreed, and im not even that good on piano. its all about flow.

[1975nefertari]

so emotional great ! I love it, jhaah

[DA87i]

5:10

[hackett152332]

What is the actual meaning of this song?

[yellowmetalcyborg]

@hackett152332 The interpretation of the lyrics is up to you and only you.

[Phenomenon58]

@yellowmetalcyborg Like all their songs. 

[seanqwertybob]

@hackett152332 space dementia is a condition some astronauts suffer from. Once in space they are overwhelmed by the vastness of space and are overcome with extreme anguish. Matt applies this to a love, it's a string metaphor. Every time you look at a girl you crumble as if you were looking at the stars.

[mattgraco]

@seanqwertybob holy shit that beautiful

[laurafernandez98]

Me encanta =)

[Misscarter1997]

Saw these guys live at Leeds this year, fucking amazing!!

They certainly know how to put on a kickass show!

[tijesus2]

Origin of symmetry est de loin le meilleur, le plus abouti, le plus travaillé et le plus original des albums de Muse.. même si les autres sont tous aussi bons..

[LiamCrowley1990]

You make me sick because I adore you so. I may get that tattooed on me.

[MrMcWeirdo]

Every time I hear 2:02 it makes me imagine like I'm in space and I'm gently falling down back on earth in a wormhole while my mind is hallucinating giant killer teddy bears and huge spiders feeling a shocked/paranoid state of euphoria.....

Man, this guy gave me good stuff.

[lewymorry]

H8 not height...H8 being a piece of music equipment Matt likes having..

[FearlessCicada]

TOO GOOD...

[susurration2dot0]

I live these lyrics. That lusty fucked up limerence you have over someone who represents and absorbs your darkness.... when you're both in an existential nightmare, both aware of the finiteness of existence...

[Tayuya12611]

@susurration2dot0 you're stupid.

[blblblfkdjdjf]

@susurration2dot0 Gayest thing I've ever read, give me five seconds of my life back.

[michael3005]

@blblblfkdjdjf just because you don't understand it or it's above your level of knowledge does't make it gay...

[aMomentofBeauty]

@susurration2dot0 well said.

[enticingmuffin]

@susurration2dot0 i find your comment rather shallow and pedantic

[blackshadowbass]

@enticingmuffin Shallow and pedantic.

[ggddrr26]

@susurration2dot0 wow, that's deeep man

[EddThe19th]

@ggddrr26 Naaa it is utter rubbish.

[ggddrr26]

@EddThe19th may be, but it is deep. xD

[EddThe19th]

@ggddrr26 No it is shallow and pretty meaningless.

[Tayuya12611]

@susurration2dot0 how does that even make sense? are you trying to seem like poetic or deep? wtf

[facecheek]

@Tayuya12611 he/she might have been high

[AlmightyArceus]

Jeeez this is epic

[azurescens420]

Smoke weed and listen to Muse

[KloesviK]

@azurescens420 yesssssssssssss i like it !!!!

[masterchieftan827]

@azurescens420 OMFG YES

[husseinahmed95]

@azurescens420 mate, Muse are way better than drugs. there's no need at all to smoke weed or drink if you listen to Muse at least three hours everyday and eat healthy.

[EclecticSceptic]

@husseinahmed95 Or you can take acid while listening to muse = analagous to constructive interference in a wave, i.e. your mind falls out.

[azurescens420]

@EclecticSceptic

Good idea, the only thing better than listening to Muse is listening to Muse on LSD.

[mrsim961]

chills sa serais pas frisson? :p

[MrMuseboy]

it is DEFINATLY H8 that he is saying go look on the muse website i the discography section and the lyrics for this song

[Physis08]

just to clear things up it IS "hate" but because of he holds the "H" long it becomes as if he were saying "H" and then "8", which would also make more sense lyrics wise

[Dungeon287]

@Physis08 No, he's saying H8.

[roekkva]

@Physis08 in the text of the cd-booklet it said height.... i always thought he was singing about heroin

[InsanityIsNecessary]

muse songs like this make me want to buy a piano

[BlackCranberries4]

I think Muse is unfairly lumped together with bands like Radiohead. Radiohead's more indie. Muse can even be called progressive, especially with their early albums (depending on who you talk to), but they're still very accessible for people who don't listen to a lot of prog.

[SuperTwilighter24]

@BlackCranberries4 Dude, Matthew gets his inspiration for the classics. Like during the Romantic Era. I agree radiohead is a very good band but come on Muse can not even be categorized. No bad intentions just the truth. :)

[balltopleft]

he's like the elton john of piano players

[zuzublast]

voice and keyboard are awesome. it's the strengh of this band

[ErotiCheezBread]

H8, not height. I included this in my essay on space rock and H8 is a computer. > < (Not "hate")

But omg amazing song btw.

[Babygirl123luvsyou]

<3 i adore this song, the lyrics are my life completly

[cebuei]

the best one, I think.

[aLiiIamTheoNe]

2:58 - 3:33 EPIC WTF I LOVE IT

[SBH95]

The way he says "you make me SICK, because i adore you so" makes me shiver every time<3

[Babygirl123luvsyou]

@SBH95 YESS <3 amazing

[TheAvento]

I really don't get the 16 dislikes...I can understand dislikes in other Muse songs, but on this one? Seriously people, why? :P

[bellamyissocoollike]

fuckkkk muse, HOW I LOVE YOU!!!

[twilightinshiny]

it makes me sick because I adore it so.

[aMomentofBeauty]

so deliciously sinister

[RoyMunnson]

i like this song alot.i just don`t like the end part.

[TheBlutelfenfee]

... I adore you so...

[Ladei4Lyfe]

If you listen to this in the middle of the night, and you're way past sleepy, it's awesome on a whole new level lol

[waldocalvinhobbes]

dat outro

[JasmineHurr]

This song is amazing. I have had it stuck in my head all day. :D

[thewriter1008]

@paris111191 Just thought you'd like to know - the opening lyric isn't height, it's H-8. I think it refers to some sort of computer.

[GnomerChief825]

@thewriter1008 H8 as in Hate maybe...? lol idk

[OmNomNomNom96]

@thewriter1008 Actually, if you look at the way 'height' is spelt, it is H EIGHT.

[TimPaiste97]

Matt Bellamy went on a rocket and came back with space dementia.

[unclesamfatg]

@TimPaiste97 lolz!

[missRockoula]

i can't stop listening to this song....it's just fuckin' awesome!!!!

[X95Z58X]

epic lyrics

[fevercovers]

like rachmaninov

[SpecialAgentKit]

Someone needs to make a video for this song, with clips from Dead Space XD

[marcoconti90badbad]

where is the "EPIC!" botton?

[Musefan98]

@marcoconti90badbad i don´t know !

[FaraCajou]

He doesn't mean 'Height'.

'H8' is a microcomputer.

Look up the lyrics at sing35 and in one of the first comments the meaning of 'H8' (and the rest of the song) is explained.

The original meaning is 'H8' (as in microcomputer), Matt said so himself.

[FudgePackProductions]

@FaraCajou Never knew that. Thanks.

[FaraCajou]

@FudgePackProductions You're welcome :)

[SpoonmanXD]

He means Height, in some songs he doesn't pronouce the H because it makes him sorta spit everywhere.

[yoyoyock]

whats with the full minuet of white noise at the end there?

[maria123n]

The best song ever!

[JuliaWindle]

im getting a tattoo of lyrics from this song :)

[ashleekrumnow22]

isn't it "H8 is the one for me" ??

[wtevwwe11]

@ashleekrumnow22 Yes, but in the album it says height (which is wrong)

[ashleekrumnow22]

@wtevwwe11 Okay thanks! :)

[aa428507]

after have heard loads of shitty music is good to listen clasic muse to clean your ears (and brain)

[ashleekrumnow22]

I've been listening to this song A LOT lately. I love it! Its soo unique on so many levels :)

[FaraCajou]

This is unreal

[CGSC2323]

Listen to rachmaninov's piano concerto no 2 in c minor it was probs the inspiration to write this

[xxreckoner]

Does anyone know when the goosebumps go away?

[msbeerlover93]

Love this *____*

[cookiemonkey1004]

been obsessed with this song! u guys should check out their live performance of this song from hullabaloo - it's completely mesmerizing!!!

[GreenDayandMuse]

mmmm Matt is being dirty for once ;) 1:28

[jasonfu6699]

H8* is the one for me

[ThePetaaaaaa]

those fucking french lyrics ^^

[robistheking]

this is DEFINITELY a piano

[DaftPunk2673]

I LOVE MUSE i need to change my youtube name to something with muse...

[Xyeho]

I am wondering something...why did they add this song in Kangaroo Blues? Did they improvised something? Because I am trying to add all their music into my ipod but its just too confusing with same name.

[RisuBento]

probably the trippiest of their songs ive heard so far....

[XxboVodxX]

Matt Bellamy is like, the second best keyboard player n modern music. The first is Jordan Rudess of course :)

[alexplayero]

@XxboVodxX is this really a keyboard? i mean i play classical piano, and have had experience with keyboards. IMO this sounds exactly like a regular piano with some effects done in a studio

[XxboVodxX]

@alexplayero Well piano is a keyboard based instrument, so by keyboard I mean organ, piano, electric piano etc.

[edarjane]

beginning of this song Fucks my brain

[Wewillbevictorious03]

Matthew bellamy is my god and muse is my religion !

[rococoness]

This will always be my favourite Muse song. :) It has been my fav for years.

[catsaretheshit]

i play the same instruments as Matthew..

But damn I could never compare to this. fml

[LiamCrowley1990]

Wow, 100 thumbs up, thanks guys.

[PROCOMBATHOG]

Replaying is my favorite part of the song :D

[Jimmy9298]

why he would make a song about missing the earth

[DirtyFilthyDubstep]

@Jimmy9298 cause when ur on mushrooms you might miss the reality you're familiar with

[Jimmy9298]

@DirtyFilthyDubstep

oh i see didn't know that one

[createsumchaos]

@Jimmy9298 He's comparing the feelings of insignificance and vulnerability as felt by astronauts in space with being similiar to experiencing the emotions of a relationship. Or at least that's how I see it :)

[shukaku]

@createsumchaos Your almsot right but he's comparing those feeling to a beautiful female

[ratchetandclankf]

0:00 through 6:21 is my favorite part. ^.^

[IslesGirl14]

2:50-2:56 is my favorite part... this whole song is just <3

[penisland1023]

h8 is a super computer used by nasa dont know 4 sure if that is what hes referring to but it makes sense for obvious reasons

[Klickthishype1]

you can hear the hatred in his voice.

[DreamingForANewDawn]

@Klickthishype1 I know, right? and it's overwhelming

[Klickthishype1]

@DreamingForANewDawn hell yeaa, thats what i love about this song

[oilmeupbro]

what is this supposed to be? football goals?

[Zellig]

@oilmeupbro Tuning forks.

[ObrienHouseProd]

5:12 gives me chills.

[createsumchaos]

You make me sick. Because I adore you so.

- Haven't we all been there....

[xTaraLaurenx]

just...wow <3

[ChiakiShinichi1]

I hear the rachmaninov in this song.

[letsbeamazeing]

Only way to listen is headphones and really loud.

I'm not lying. If your ears aren't ringing you're not doing it right.

[TheRob9393]

cannot wait for leeds fest 11

[LoveConnieAndTH]

This album is monumental

[skiinnyloulou]

shit !! I love this song

[PoisonedParty]

I love the chorus, talk about chills. :$

[MrSushi1984]

I enjoy this song

[MartyrofCake]

Fucking beautiful.

[InsanityIsNecessary]

GOTTA GO TO SPACE

[Drakozap]

Classical music inspirations. Good god Muse is just awesome.

[Dragonfly77films]

Reasons to have space dementia: Star Trek, Star Wars, Nyan Cat, Wheatly and Space Core from Portal 2, Dead Space, Halo, Super Mario Galaxy, and everything else that takes place in space I can't think of. In space...it's getting too crowded.

[POPULARtunes]

13 people have space dementia.

[MrHystericMan]

Height? He says H8...

[venomsugar]

H8 is the same as h eight? just... in letters... not numerals

[xXFR057Xx]

@venomsugar its also h ate..as in hate. but what hes talking about, i think, is the h8 guitar which is an 8 string guitar. it was also used by jimi hendrix who was one of the people that inspired matt.

[DecoyCruz]

idk... the band itself is good.. but the singing is irritating to me..

[auntiepicklebottom]

This is just a wierd song on a whole new level... Damn this is fun to listen to whilst smoking we... nevermind

[smackythefirst]

@auntiepicklebottom pussy. you're entirely anonymous. are you afraid your mom will see you wrote the "W" word? you must be 12 if you're bragging about getting high. yea you and millions of other people all around the planet. not that this song isnt fucking great and hearing it for the first time high would be intense.

[MagicBulletsX]

@smackythefirst chill man hes just joking and trying to be clever. Anyways great song, peace

[cheekyrhi]

@auntiepicklebottom Or at Reading festival on the main stage :P

[PockyMclover]

@auntiepicklebottom it really is ^.^ atm xD haha
