Muse - Interlude

[yoavsterster]

final boss XD

[justplayfm]

This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

[serioussam886]

like the intro of Resistence!

[liroj10]

@serioussam886 nope, intro of the resistance is shitty, after hearing those 37 seconds, its pure genius

[CarMoves]

Sounds like "Adagio for Strings" from the movie PLATOON

[ColtonStone]

@CarMoves I think they sampled it

[johnciall]

@ColtonStone It's a guitar adaptation of adagio

[manco82]

It's impossible to listen to this and not expect Hysteria to immediately come on!

[ColorfulHyena]

Sounds like Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber

[ishallkillall]

Is is a breakoff of their song: "falling away with you"

so u should listen to that then listen to this

[2cool4you62]

this sounds like resistance....

[rongdisk23]

@2cool4you62 yeah, i bet this is were they got the idea from

[syndani9]

is this some kind of joke or wat? :O

[InsanityIsNecessary]

@syndani9 no, this is an actual thing on the cd

[maryjanesoares]

@syndani9

it's beautiful

[syndani9]

@maryjanesoares

nahhh, i dun think so -.-

[syndani9]

@maryjanesoares

-.- u suck. even GnR can do wayy better than that -.-

[ErasedMuseCitizen]

@syndani9 man, this is a transition song

[syndani9]

@ErasedMuseCitizen

err, wats that? x)

[ErasedMuseCitizen]

@syndani9 Sorry, I'm not englishspeaking ^^ hmmm, it is a short song between two songs. Don't know if you get what I mean :P

[diakae]

aghh agrghhh aah oo yeah *EARGASM*

[geeki66]

adagio

[JakJak478]

Its the chord progression from Adagio. Well inpsired by it at least.

[DelRockford]

No, this isn't Adagio. It's a reprise of the last thirty seconds of Apocalypse Please. Listen to AP from the 3:40 point. Then listen to this, but imagine those piano chords being played over it. It's not in the same key, but it's definitely the same concept. This is what ties the whole album together really.

[PhaseDaCipher]

@DelRockford I think it's just an extended ending to 'Falling Away with You'. Either way though, one of the best things I've ever heard.

[gan0nsl4y3r]

clock town.. -‿-

[CrapLouse]

isnt this Hysteria??!

[TheTak0King]

listen to this then the intro of the song resistance,not completely the same,but there is a striking resemblence.

[bwsSynik]

Muse has some stuff that reminds me of Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask.

[muurtalo]

Is this thing influenced by Barber's Adagio For Strings?

[Italianboy225]

i wish this interlude was longer! it's so saddening and so beautiful. i feel the same effect of listening to Moonlight Sonata when i listen to this.

[Cristilikn]

this song is like for the end of an apocaliptyc movie....

[SneakyJesus00]

i could see the world ending to this lol

[rafsil2006]

this is so perfect

[danielmuse89]

I don't know why.. back in 2003, when i first listen to this.. i was like "Oh my god.. this is orgasmic.. " and i felt like the guy on the artwork "Somebody is coming.." :P i think it is a clearly point where the album changes.... anyway, from that day to know, everytime i want to listen to Hysteria, i always listen to this before..

[DanYul55]

@danielmuse89 same. it should be how hysteria is always played, on radios, in concert, on personal MP3s, all over the world.

[danielmuse89]

@DanYul55 ;) I just find out now, that i wanted to wright "now" and not "know".. pardon to everybody!

[FortMinorSick]

Does anyone else think that it would be ridiculously amazing if muse did a full cover of Adagio for Strings?

[eponce09]

@FortMinorSick now THAT'S an idea i totally support!!!!!!!!!

[TurboAnnihilator5000]

@FortMinorSick that would be so cool

[Maindsy88]

Damn. I get such a strange feeling when I listen to this interlude. It's hard to explain but it's a really moving and almost tragic sound on the ears...

[mozartisgodly]

@Maindsy88 That's because Muse sampled the chords from Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings for this song -- and Adagio for Strings is one of the most singularly heart-wrenching and tear-jerking yet exquisitely beautiful pieces of music ever composed.

[chricolwould32rock]

It sounds like The Resistance song had a deformed baby.

[htfussman32]

@chricolwould32rock I think you mean this had a baby called The Resistance.

This is older

[chricolwould32rock]

@htfussman32 OOPS. Yeah that's what I meant.

[TgIiDgUiS]

@chricolwould32rock i was thinking the same thing

[peys87]

it's black metal/drone

[dunterd]

I can't watch/listen to this without putting on hysteria immediately after :P

[ashlinton]

@dunterd i feel EXACTLY the same

[putisimaperra]

It makes my blood boil!!!!!

[antisadism]

Interlude of awesomeness.

[Sh0wBiZ94]

i want to know if that guy is Matt and what is he holding o.0

[DarthCannabis]

@Sh0wBiZ94 Not sure if that's Matt on the album art, but it looks like he's holding a gas mask.

[Sh0wBiZ94]

@DarthCannabis ohhh

Thanx :D

[themcdvideos]

@Sh0wBiZ94 gas mask

[barfrog101]

This is definitely inspired by Adadio for Strings, but its not really a copy. Only the first progression is similar, the rest resembles AFS in style but not note-for-note. Also AFS is in B-flat minor, this is in A minor :)

Right, im off to get a life now... MUSE RULE!!!

[MissInformati0n]

@barfrog101 could just be coincidence. i find that with a lot of muse songs

[angierre]

@barfrog101 Ha, I thought of adagio for strings as soon as i heard the first chord change. That's funny, I didn't think anyone else heard that as well!

[VFDbranch13]

This 39- second piece is better than some full albums I have heard. Muse is brilliant.

[0EmmaG]

very short song hahah

[ryuga062]

Sounds a lot like the intro to Resistance. 0.o

[chazer96]

it sounds like the intro for hysteria

[Foz8675]

@chazer96 O rly? Hmm, I wonder why :)

[DromeG60]

o.O 39 seconds of heaven

[fireflame142]

very short song o_O

[Dozoy]

It is Adagio for Strings by Samuel Barber. Make no mistake about it, this is not their riff.

[bassethound22]

@Dozoy This is true, but if you listen to the very end of Apocalypse Please, this has the same chord progression. I think this is what ties the whole album together, like a concept album or something.

[Dozoy]

Totally agree. Just to those that are saying that this is such a creative move on Muse's part, THIS IS NOT THEIRS.

[Darthlisp]

well they roughly based it off of that song but i would have to say it is there own

[winrar88]

This is not a "riff" at all. It's a very forward moving melodic progression. Also based on a fairly common chordal sequence. I'm certain Samuel Barber wasn't the first one to use it.

[V4mPiRezZZ]

This is my favorite from Muse I think. I believe though that they shouldn't have made a song out of it, it is just wonderful as it is. This is what makes the band so special; Even one small bass riff from them can move you :')

[TheFrienemy]

omg this song reminds me of 28days/weeks later...

[james9408]

same with improv. shuda made asong...

[manco82]

This :39 is better then most other 40 minute albums....

[rockstar3600]

The riff is mad. They should of made a full song using the riff.

[masteredd23]

awesome, I love it.

A whole song of these riffs were better ;)

[mightyrearranger33]

I read somewhere that it's loosely based on Adagio For Strings (the famous song from Platoon); the two certainly sound similar in chord progression...

[filmweb13]

I was thinking the exact same thing when listening to this.

[FIFA4U]

I'm not happy that it only took 50sec.

They should have made an own song out of this.

Cause it sound great...

[Lucando]

It's just a song on its own, between 'Falling Away With You' and 'Hysteria' on the 'Absolution' album. It's called 'Interlude' and that's the full version.

[oxfan]

can somebody tell me, what's the original of this song? i've heard it all before, but i don't know where... anyway: i just love this song...

(sry, for the bad english ;-))

[845515786]

I have attempted this on bass guitar check it out if u can be bothered the other dudes is wayyyy better than mine

[RandomNutjob]

It may only be 39 seconds but it is well worth 5*

MUSE are quite possibly the best British band alive

Certainly the best live act we have currently

Long may it continue :D
