Muse - Screenager

[SaraHussain]

Had a nap yesterday- got only 2 hours the night before thanks to a freaking essay I had to do- and I played this song first to help lull me into sleep. Closing your eyes and listening to it is brilliant. And then just when you think it can't get any better: DARK SHINES. Just perfection. Such a f*cking good album.

[vincentscousin]

Awesome Muse is awesome!

[Jfog8]

This song is just so relaxing. It really calms me down.

[Lokishades]

No one's voice is like his..



[Mathematica0]

muse's origin of my musical cultury

[AJ2240]

Such a beautiful piece. I love it!!

[ReneDHilton]

Renee Diamond VS muse?

[EternalHysteria]

The chorus of this song is the most beautiful thing i have ever heard...

[stopsiqn]

I was born exactly 14 years ago from this very minute.

12/26 2:00 am.

glad to be here

[mandiibel]

anyone know of a safe site to download this song?

[Repav1]

@mandiibel Well, you could buy the song so the band gets money for the work they put into this song. Just a suggestion, though.

[mandiibel]

@Repav1 in my city cannot find the disc, is imported & expensive, however, I'll consider your suggestion, thanks.

[EternalHysteria]

@mandiibel If you are willing to pay a reasonable amount, no matter where you are, iTunes, Zune Marketplace or the online store of a musical retailer are all possible options

[mandiibel]

@EternalHysteria is all, thanks.

[LiamCrowley1990]

@mandiibel Download Vuze and go on Pirate Bay and just download the torrent for the whole album.

[aranfrancis]

thumbs up if you're a screenager

[AGQ181]

Beautiful!

Screenager, I know a real one. It's heartbraking.

[Nuts8769]

Makes me think of a robot wearing a mexican mariachi hat and playing an electroacustic guitar

[SpoonTree666]

@Nuts8769 hahaha nice description xD

[cookielover734]

I love this song too much for words to even describe.

[InsanityIsNecessary]

Whenever I hear this song, I picture myself at a campfire somewhere in Africa.

[MartianDiscoFish]

This sounds like Spanish themed elevator music on acid!

[itachinika]

matt is glorious :)



[BrownEyeBeauty19]

This song is so sexy!

[grungebabe13]

@BrownEyeBeauty19

This song is about self injury and body distortion caused by the media....not really sexy...

[BrownEyeBeauty19]

@grungebabe13 It can be hard to understand what Matt is saying sometimes, and the only thing I understood inthis song was "you're so beautiful." But when I looked up the lyrics and read what it was about, I saw that it was about "teenagers being brought up by the screen who develops a distorted image of their body because of pictures in magazines and because technology is rejecting the physical bodies we live in"(quote on quote by Matt). But I still think his voice is very sexy ;)

[Mewigi]

@BrownEyeBeauty19 Who listens to lyrics? I already orgasm enough from his voice; I think the lyrics would kill me.

[evmuketa34521]

@BrownEyeBeauty19 I did NOT get a word if what you JUST SAID. BUT! I don't care. Why? Because I am absolutely DROWNING in the SONG.

[iamJosefine]

Matt I love you,you are a genius.

[charvisiokuu]

Matt's voice. Just. Matt's voice.

Ahhh :)

[Aacis]

cant wait to see this song live with good quality

[IHateEveryoneLots]

LEEDS ON FRIDAY I AM FUCKING BUZZING

[phlopped]

@IHateEveryoneLots I have to wait until Sunday, ahh the wait is killing me!

[pooeyyeoop1]

Nothing like an intro make using bubble wrap and paper :)

[pearceokeeffe]

I know it's not OoS, but I REALLY hope they play Dead Star at reading and leeds!

BTW, I've got a day ticket for sale (reading sunday), England only

[pooeyyeoop1]

@pearceokeeffe They wont. I am sure its ONLY OoS.

[thecitizenme]

anybody else expecting this

and darkshines

and futurism

and megalomania and space dementia at READING AND LEEDS!??!..:D

i hope they're gonna play these songs...:)

[0Genus0]

@thecitizenme Well, they're definitely playing this, Darkshines and Megalomania :D

[thecitizenme]

@0Genus0 never see them with futurism before...:(..

[FretsonFireMuse]

@thecitizenme Futurism maybe or maybe not. But of course they'll play the other songs. They've confirmed several times they're playing Origin start to finish.

[thecitizenme]

@FretsonFireMuse the instagram of dom practicing screenager already makes me nervous lol

[phlopped]

@thecitizenme theyre playing the whole 'origin of symmetry album ;)

[thecitizenme]

@phlopped ok :|

[thepandatamer8]

How the fuck can 6 people dislike this?!?!

[lovetrain1234567890]

@thepandatamer8 they though it was the like button lol

[Godlysound]

Muse are my favourite song :D

[DaSuperKitty]

Who's so phony and always surrounded?

The 6 people who disliked Screenager, I guess...

PS: Post no bills.

[hungoverontues]

this song is epic

[NakedCupCakeKitty]

:3 wub it! 

[volleyballplayer54]

i mean genius

[volleyballplayer54]

anything by muse = a pure genuis work of art!!!!!!!!

[andyfromrafelroad]

Happy Be-lated birthday Matt.

[DavidTennantLover7]

First heard muse in September 2008. Been a better person ever since.

MUSE <3

[SupaMarioX]

@DavidTennantLover7 D: My lips are chapped. I'm sorry... ;w;

[Shyreenify]

Green Day isn't THAT bad. They have a few good songs and I have them on my Ipod but Muse is better. That's a fact.

[mccartneygirl151]

@Shyreenify Exactly how I feel about them. I'm not gonna go and hate on them because 1. I don't know enough by them and 2. The songs I do know arn't horrible.

[BassAdams6661]

And stop with all these Green Day comments. Green Day is one of my favorite bands. And I'm starting to like Muse more and more with each passing day. Both bands have "Real" Musicians. They're both alternative rock (My favorite genre), they both write songs I can relate to, they both have songs I can listen to when I'm sad, depressed, angry. Both bands have songs that I can mosh to in my bedroom when I'm full of enegry. And both bands will go down in music history. End of.

[ciyvi9]

muse is out of space but i dont liked last album (resistance)

[citizenpaparazzo]

MUSE hit their peak on album, I hope they can surpass it someday.

[luccasgb]

I love Green Day and I like Muse, but I have one question: what the fuck do they have in commun to start this discussion? :S

[jujuto1]

His voice cuts off a little at 3:33

[0Genus0]

I like Muse and Green Day. Suck it, music snobs :D

[lebronnash]

People seriously stop insulting Muse with comparing them with Green Day. Have at least a little respect for real artists.

[carmenmaria94]

/watch?v=AA5gC6TR15A&feature=c­hannel_video_title

[JomerTheGreat]

Why are you discussing about Green Day and Muse? They are GREAT bands, one is PUNK and the other is ROCK. They are incomparables. I love the two bands. We must stop discussing about that and we must ally to fight against reggaetón and house. Who´s agree?

[MrSpencyr]

muse are real musicians.. but their melodies vocally are too generic for their amazing instrumentals.

almost all muse songs start with a long vocal syllable. IT takes ages to hear what hes saying.

My favorite song off this album is plug in baby. The sounds on this album were too good for these vocals...

[drunkenlout123]

the only thing that really sucks about muse is that they attract a fanbase thats full of pretentious assholes. 

[HunterGathera]

@drunkenlout123 its a shame isnt it. Ahwell at least assholes can appreciate the beauty

[FretsonFireMuse]

@drunkenlout123 Actually I'd say Muse have a pretty small number of pretentious assholes compared to some bands.

[xVictimOfADownx1]

@drunkenlout123 NO KIDDING, like majority of the comments on here lol

[Ark1non]

37 likes now. Green day is nothing compared to Muse.

[MaravillaAM]

green day and muse are very different, i like green day (American idiot album in particular) but muse are better with regard to the sound effects, emotion, quality of music and technically...however green day have a completely different style and are very good in their field ;)

[sofroniaful]

This is their best album, in my opinion

[youtaughtmehowtolive]

here's some trivia for ya: @ around 3:33, his voice cuts out for a split second

[callumnixon]

looking forward to hearing this at reading&leeds!

[Astrologon]

This is like a cross between Neverhood's and Psychonauts' world that hosts a Muse concert.

[TeEnReBeL100]

this song remind my of Take A Bow (by Muse) because i'm a little hesitant at liking it.

Muse is still awesome, though.

[FunkyMelon1603]

personally, my favourite part is from 0:00 - 4:21

[gabbyakabaggy]

Llama's toenails are used in this song. 

[DirtyBirdLaserbeak]

Muse...

[cutiecookie23]

lovley song. :)

[tofumunky]

The chorus on this song is really amazing and all the little riffs in between too.

[Dannielaw]

i like that guitar riff from Recess

[AnnabelStarlight]

Beautiful

[Traci9988]

wow just wow...so smooth

[TheNatty549]

the verse guitar rift is fucking awesome

[jadecatbellamy882]

Llama's toenails! :D

Jeez these guys are creative geniuses. Love em!

[evmuketa34521]

@jadecatbellamy882 Its 'post no bills' genius!

[jadecatbellamy882]

@evmuketa34521 I meant they used llama's toenails in the song, genius...

[evmuketa34521]

@jadecatbellamy882 IM A FREAKIN' HEART!!!

[elyKyle95]

Worst song on the album......... but still amazing!

[Wookash96]

@elyKyle95

more like most underrated song on the album.

[KeTeVemCovers]

Dom used animal bones in this song :)

[DEATHNOTE0x0]

HEY!! this is razer blades *or is it the other way* lol i love muse!

[fireiciclespark]

Their electro-riffs are beautiful constellations in the night sky just before dawn.

[Sjweardy]

@fireiciclespark Muse = Jizz

[Happyfacesmiles25]

ok....so i'm listening for the llama toenails and can't hear em.....anyone know what the heck i'm talking about? lol

[xOoMUSEoOx]

@Happyfacesmiles25 Yeah, I know what you mean :) I think they were used as percussion, sort of like maracca style, you can hear them pretty clearly around 1:18 :)

[mailliw102]

I just love the way they can say : "You were so beautiful, remember who you were" in over 40 seconds <3

[DEATHNOTE0x0]

@mailliw102 no other band is greater than MUSE. if the yeah yeah yeahs or the killers tryed this they would fail.

[DEATHNOTE0x0]

i have this CD in my house my brother gets angery cuz i listen to this song to much!

[nic0lekA]

sometimes it makes me think of Aladdin, like the beginning always does haha

[Planez4meh]

I performed a small child sacrifice to this song last weekend. It was the perfect mood-setting-song.

[iron5350]

@Planez4meh Cool story, bro.

[Planez4meh]

@iron5350 Oh definitely. It was magical.

[BSGOV21]

mmmmmmmm.....EPIC?

[penclaw]

Quote from MuseWiki:

Did you know..that Dom used animal bones as percussion on Screenager?

[madridista4life7]

@penclaw sweeet!!

[MrGergasikuat]

People need to stop comparing Thom Yorke and Matt Bellamy and just appreciate both artists individually. They are NOT in any way the same. So shut the hell up and enjoy the music. but my vote to bellamy

[Monanged]

@MrGergasikuat Totally agree :D

[rockangel166]

why this song only has 50262 vieuwsssssssssss ? O_o

[88HUSE]

this song makes me so sad and its revolutionised by life. i used to be so depressed for no reason at all. i wanted to harm myself, take drugs to take the pain away of my sadness. but then i heard this song and it changed my life. i now am thankful for what i've got and will always thank muse for how they changed me

[saintsfan454]

@88HUSE no it didn't lol!

[88HUSE]

@saintsfan454 haha no you're right, i was looking back at that comment and i dunno wat i was thinking. guess i was feeling sentimental lol

[saintsfan454]

@88HUSE lol, fair enough, i guess we all get those moods! :P

[TheDukeofluke1]

ok, itunes is terrible at the previews. becasue of those, i thought that this was the worst muse album, and hell was i wrong. no that i actually listened to them on youtube, i want every album on cd. cds have the best sound quality.

[thepandatamer8]

@TheDukeofluke1 you based your initial opinion on iTunes previews? Uhhh... ok then.

[CaraCali]

People need to stop comparing Thom Yorke and Matt Bellamy and just appreciate both artists individually. They are NOT in any way the same. So shut the hell up and enjoy the music.

[Zanelag053buhbyLP]

This is my favorite song of all time. Why?

Well because it's true. Look at who you are and who you were. Who were you when you were young and innocent? Who is more beautiful?

Well to me, that little girl was so beautiful.

I'll stop my screaming now that I know that no one will hear.

[Trisscarr]

@Zanelag053buhbyLP weirdo.

[giomets154575]

Every Muse Song Is A Masterpice from beginning to end from the rhythm melody chorus intro outro and bridge , its why i love them every song is them putting their best into it everytime

[JupiterRoom]

@giomets154575 agreed

[eddgiles]

don't get me wrong i like muse but i really think they're tryin soo oooo hard to sound like radiohead's ok computer even the singer force his voice so he can sound like thom yorke .

[Jaffell]

@eddgiles Other way around.

[eddgiles]

@Jaffell which band came to exist first ????

[aa428507]

@eddgiles listen closely, exists a sea of diference among both singer's falsseto, muse's falsetto is like the one on the cave, new born & this song, and radioheads falsetto is like the one on paranoid android, karma police or my iron lung ;)

[mylo48]

@eddgiles Whahaha, Matthew is not even TRYING...I know that with just one sigh, he could blow Thom Yorke from the stage.

[cooljane2]

Once I listened to Muse, all other bands seemed primitive in my eyes

[Saprakilon]

@cooljane2 You're s right man. There's no such thing as music once you've heard Muse and then turn on the radio. I mean, Muse makes music real.

[ogrefetus]

@cooljane2 because youve never really listened to radiohead.



[RolandsSh]

@cooljane2

Then it's about last time for you to check 80s or early 90s thrash. Also NWOBHM are musicly almost as epic and complex as classical music.

[juliaeve]

@cooljane2 exactly

[benjaminw42]

@cooljane2

I feel exactly the same!

[RIESENII1234]

I always paint this CD cover to my nails :] OOS nails!

[mromnikon]

GTFO MUSE ! 

[psuravens37]

The piano in this song is ripped straight from the theme song for the Truman Show.

[sestrensaz]

@psuravens37 What song are you listening to? There is no piano in Screenager. I assume you are referring to the acoustic guitar, which only has a vague similarity to the Truman Show theme at best.

[blessed85]

I wanted to buy this cd original yeaaars ago when i was in middle school.// never did though, downloaded it from kazaa at the time... years later they have the same power like then

[spaztech44]

lol sounds like a a twisted Spanish tune lol

[swmbat]

oh my god. my ipod is broken right now, but if it was n't i would download like ALL of muse's songs on to it, so im kinda mad. this song is soooooooooooo good!

[myyyname]

Matt's voice is really outstanding in this song!

[mrceriel]

This is a beautiful song. How can you resist THE guitar accord which actually make the song:03:50. I love accords like this, it gives a Thriller-effect to the song.

[HailinJune]

Hope they play this live! (=

[piccadillyX]

I love the bones =D I love this song, I love Muse, and I can't wait to see them again and again in Wembley =D

[Rhapsody47]

@bwsmaze So I have heard lol

[roake0331]

ya, origin is probably your best bet.

[malcomer1]

My goodness this song made me cum and my cum cum itself also!

[hcvideoproductions]

0:41 - 0:45ish... do I hear that guitar riff from Recess?

[Museatlantis]

Great lryics and good song

[spaceshipable]

reminds me of jungle book

[SEAchefMojii]

@spaceshipable lol me to im gonna go watch it now D:

[Rheainstoun]

Matthew Belammy´s 146 IQ in work :)) awesome song !! genious :) no doubt..

[sisabesdemusica]

exelente disco!! exelente tema!! bueno es de la marca de muse

en verdad lo keremos en peru

[slbdevil]

this song is sooo radiohead'ish.. (not like that's a bad thing)

but it's def. not my favorite from Muse!

[pizzaz192x]

@aukis

Holy shit! Exactly the same fucking tune!!!!!! they must have copied this then 'cause that was 2007, this 2001. do the math.

[Zimakaku]

@pizzaz192x actually, no

The song that's presented was posted in 2007, but the song is actually from 1999

At least that's where i got with my research.

Muse turn Spanish stuff into rock

Darkshines is like tango if you notice the rythm and the guitar.

City of Delusion also.

This one right here.

Also, to powerredbull

The sleep in is also a great part in the song, its the mysterious feel it gives to the song, its so macabre, and wicked with the wierd drums :)

Just my opinion

[PowerRedBull]

incredible hypnotising chorus, but very boring verse .

especially going back to the chorus after the verse seems a "sleep in" moment...

The bridge "all the skies..." is nice though, and a great transition to the breathtaking chorus

[aa428507]

citizen erased, newborn & this are my favs. of the album

[BlackAndWhite9999]

Hide from the mirror, the cracks and the memories.

[aukis]

/watch?v=6VzsT5OswHk check this song and tell me how similar they are.

[Darthlisp]

muse takes influences from a lot of different ethic music and makes new songs out of it.

[ExcessiveHorse]

@aukis They sound so alike!
