This song, Recess, Shrinking Universe and The Gallery really make Hullaballoo something that is worthy of its own tour. Imagine how immense this song would be live?
I love this! I never thought a song as powerful and loud as Hyper Music could ever sound this good as a ballad, but Muse has pnce again proven me wrong :)
Oh Muse, where have you gone? I miss how you used to be. Really hoping that if they play the entire Origin of Symmetry album(or parts of it) at their upcoming gigs it still actually sounds good. I'm afraid the sound they used to have is lost on them.
@CitizenErasedRulez They said in an interview that they were jamming Hyper Music and it sounded like a school band cover :( i think us real musers who have been here from the start have to accept that we got the peak and should be happy for it
@RECON828 No way is this song better then Exit Music (for a film), it doesnt sound like it either, this song is off Ok Computer, where all the tracks are great, it's considered to be the greatest album of all time :p, to even compare muse to radiohead is just silly! i love muse and their 2nd and 3rd albums, 1st and 4th are good too.
@gon2bed86 I'd disagree with both the things you just said there. It reminds me of EM and a few other radiohead songs a lot because of the mood and tempo and you definitely can compare muse to radiohead as they're the same genre and muse obviously took a lot of inspiration from radiohead. I actually prefer EM, just think this has more powerful lyrics and didn't want to offend any muse fans. I personally converted to radiohead but still listen to muse - they're a good band.
@TheMusesongs i'd say angry would definitely be micro cuts! so much hate coming from that song haha :) and depressed would probably be space dementia :) my opinions though, people hear songs in different ways xx
To be honest this is one of the songs where I think they do sound like Radiohead. I've listened to Muse first so when I heard Exit Music I immediately thought of this song. I don't have a problem with it though, but I can see why people can find them similar. Unlike some songs where Radiohead fans just purposely try to find resemblances.
As for the song meaning, well I think there is a metaphor involving hyperspace in there somewhere- I read this book called Hyperspace which is about higher dimensions and string theory, and pretty sure that's where Matt got the phrase 'origin of symmetry' from
@jimim22 Okay, I guess I went a little out of line when I said Muse was Radiohead's younger brother. That's not really true. But this song in particular is VERY similar to Radioheads work. Including the guitar.
@KristianCollie For the record, Radiohead are incredible. I did meet thom yorke once though, surfing as it happens. He was a bit of a moody prick so I like to pretend that was someone else.
Really don't get the Radiohead Muse comparisons any more. I mean Radiohead are all about subtlety, Muse about epicness. thom yorke would NEVER put drums and distorted guitar like this in one of his songs.
@jimim22 Are you serious? Have you even LISTENED to Radiohead? What, did you try them out on Guitar Hero and decide you've already made enough observations on their songwriting style to deny the comparison? Muse is like Radioheads younger brother. You, sir, have lost your privilege to make intelligent commentary on music.
@KristianCollie what? Didn't I just say that they aren't very similar? Radiohead are great, but stylistically they try and avoid the whole stadium thing, with beautifully crafted songs and subtle changes in texture and harmony (ignoring KoL which I don't really think does that save codex). I just think their guitar work is really different, you don't see Jonny Greenwood bringing out a tapping solo halfway through Exit Music. I just really don't think they are similar bar vocal ranges.
Muse =/= Radiohead in any way. The comparison is usually directed at the vocals. Yorke did not invent falsetto. Radiohead are a phenomenal band in their own right, but to say Muse sounds like them is blasphemous. Maybe comparing both bands' debut albums makes a little sense, but they have both taken two very different paths as they have evolved and sound nothing like each other.
@MrNesk04 this song does sound like Radiohead. The difference is Muse do Radioheads sound better than they do it themselves...And! They do other sounds. Radiohead is just all "life is so sad" I like both bands, but I only Love Muse.
@xDeeJayBee Fucking hell...Radiohead fans are never gonna get over it are they. And I looked at your channel, I absolutely adore Andrew Jackson Jihad and Neutral Milk Hotel aswell :)
@MatthewAlfrey Haha both amazing songs, but I used to be a huge Muse fan who would slag off RH at any point. Now RH are comfortably my fav band, Muse aren't even in the same universe when it comes to creating original genre defining music.
@antrii O_O Did you REALLY just sat that? Oh. My. God. I can tell right now that you are not a major Muse fan. The lyrics have TONS of meaning. Apparently you're just blind!
@GreenTwiMuseDay12 lol, i think i am a major Muse fan, I've been to 2 of their concerts, have all their cd's, really love their music!!!! =) But, i don't like their lyrics normally. Ok, in the last album Matt putt more sense in the lyrics of the songs, which refer to resistance, conspiracy... But normally, it's just sentences without sense, put together... The same in this song i think.
@antrii They are not random lyrics. Just because they're hard to decipher does not mean they haven't any. For instance, ExoPolitics. Who would know what "sign" he's waiting for when he sings "I'll wait for the sign"? Turns out the song is about PBB (Project Blue Beam). It's not random at all.
@GreenTwiMuseDay12 ExoPolitics is on of the songs where Matt Matt put some sense in the lyrics. Look for example "Recess", where is the sense then? :) Recess is just the first example that came to my mind. Tell me please, what is the deep sense of that song.
@antrii Using the lyrics, what others think, and my own interpretation, I think Recess is about a person who is unhappy, doesn't really get the point of living, like "You live, and then you die. Nothing more," but when he finds someone special, he's a changed man ("You've kissed my life"). It's called Recess because it's short for "recessitate" which means to revive.
@GreenTwiMuseDay12 Hm, than the whole sense is put in just 1 or two phrases from the whole song, and the rest of the phrases, what do they do there? "Plains and trains are to blame....." Blame for what, what do the trains have to do with the unhappy person?
"tempting... to cut the chord Dis every word Of the truths absurd" - what is the connection? It reminds me on a 5 year old child, who is just putting words without sense together, so that they sound like a poem :))
@antrii PLains and trains to blame could mean that maybe the person he loves left, or had to go somewhere. '"Tempting to cut the chord dis every word of the truths absurd..." Again, the person doesn't see the point of life. "Tempting to cut the chord" probably means to end his life. "Dis every word of the truths absurd" people could be telling him things he doesn't believe, whether it's religion or life or whatnot. If you go into deep thinking about it, it DOES make sense.
But I don't blame just Matt for this, almost the whole rock and pop music of today is like this, the songs don't have the poetry any more... No one will write his poems nowadays like Samuel Johnson, Thomas Grey, William Shakespeare. Today, if you want to become a famous musician, you have to write senseless songs(pretending that they have a veeeery deep, hidden meaning), and some notes together, which don't have to be very melodical... Of yes, and you have to be able to make a good show!
Amigo!!!!!!!!!!! If you mean it in this sense, than i am not a "true fan" :) I am definitely not going to put a bullet in my head for someone i never met in person (even though at the concert i was in the first row!), someone i don't know personally. This is not being a fan, you know, this is being a fanatic! Just admiring something/someone for everything without seeing his negative sides, and doing everything he will say.
@antrii I didn't mean it in the sense that Muse fans are going to go shoot themselves in the head! Of course not! What I'm saying, is that why would we be so insanely devoted to something that made no sense?
@antrii And I'm not saying you are not a true fan because you wouldn't die for them. I'm saying you're not a true fan if you really think that Matt throws words together that sound sophisticated to make money! That's not what Muse is about AT ALL!
@GreenTwiMuseDay12 I'll stop the argument. It doesn't change anything. I advice you to try to look at the things from more sides, there is nothing perfect in this world. Neither Matt!!!
P.S. I laughed a lot after you deleted the comment where you were saying that a true muser should be able to put a bullet in his head for Chris, Dom or Matt :))))) I hope you will never be a true muser in this sense! :)
@antrii Anyway, Matt has nothing to be blamed FOR! He writes about TRUE things, but you have to find the meaning! Most good, rational music doesn't blunt out tell you "Life is boring, and then I met you and you showed me how to live," or "I can't believe I was betrayed in such a way." No, you're going to use METAPHORS, and SIMILES, and EXAGGERATIONS! Along so, the tune of the song can hint you in. Slow song, despair or relaxation. Loud, hyper. Normal, content. It helps put together the pieces.
The same as many Islamic radicals, who are ready to blow themselves just because their leaders say it's right. You know, no one is perfect, everyone has smthg to be blamed FOR! :)Maybe it's just me who doesn't see the meaning in the lyrics, or maybe it's you who is a fanatic.... Anyway, this is just my opinion:)
P.S.With "music of today" i mean music of the last decades,it's degrading more and more. Muse is an exception in my opinion, they still have good high quality music, but their lyrics...
@GreenTwiMuseDay12 --I wonder if anyone out there reads poetry on a regular basis. Like the works of Emily Dickinson, for example. She used words in a very unconvetional manner in her works. Poetry, like song lyrics (good ones at least) are metaphors for emotions. Sometimes a phrase is the only way toexpress one's feelings, or to use it as a comparison for something else. Sometimes the lyrics are deliberately nonsensical; if you really want to know--ask the lyricist themselves about it.
hello, radio DJ? I'd like to dedicate this song to my ex boyfriend, because this means so much to me....okay, I had to say that, because he is so deserving of it. Especially the lyric 'I don't love you, and I never did'.
Hate me if you will, but if you only knew what that cretin did to me, you'd see why.
@GreenTwiMuseDay12 --appreciate the support. You'd think the schmuck would leave me alone after we broke up a LONG time ago, but the turd has taken up cyberstalking me instead. All that aside, I could never get tired of listening to this. Some songs just click with you--this is one of them.
@GreenTwiMuseDay12 --see, there's two versions, depending on what mood you're in ;) Hyper Music when I feel like screaming at the walls, and Hypo-Chondriac Music when I want to tune the world out. Works beautifully. Oh, and I broke up with that jerk 10 YEARS AGO!! He doesn't get it. Sick freak he is. I'll just listen to this again to soothe my nerves.
I am so torn between the two versions, though I find myself drawn to this one more. It's like an audio hallucination, a delirium that you don't want to end. I keep picturing a movie sequence where this song is the backdrop. It's just so epic sounding. And yeah, I could listen to this in endless loop.
There is currently a contest going on to see which Band/Artist has the most loyal fanbase. Muse is Currently #5 guess who is #2?!?! JUSTIN BEIBER!! YES THATS RIGHT!!!! So go, and Vote for muse, so that we, The band and fans alike, can win!!!! MUSERS UNITE!! (p.s. spread this to every muse video so that everyone will know) Go to Muse's official website to get the link to vote. Muse (dot) mu

@MuseForAbsolution So true. I don't know why, but sometimes I even cry when I look at people at listen to this. I just think how selfish and blind people are. Damn it, that looks so stupid when I read it again but hey, it's true.
...You wanted more than I was worth.. you think I was scared yeah, and you needed proof. Who.. really cares anymore..? Who.. restrains..? ..epic guitar solo!
This is the only song that has ever made me break into tears. I was trying to get this girl to dump her boyfriend and be with me instead. i was having a rough time, Then this song started playing on the ipod and i just couldn't keep my tears away.
i month later she dumped her boyfriend and has been my girl ever since, which is 1 year and a month now.
Ho Putain la chanson la plus profonde EVER de Muse putain de bordel de mother fucker fuckinf fucker fucking fuck of fucking kind of fucko mother fucker fucking perfect song :'O
I love driving to this song at night when it's raining and something really shitty just happened to me. But I feel like I'm going to get into a car accident and die, especially around the guitar solo and the "I don't love you and I never did, I don't love you and I never will" part...so dark.
very end sounds hilarious xD, but it is an extremely well made song, even better with minor speed tweaking... muse is the best band of all time! and, ive noticed that their newest album, The Resistance, if you listen to the lyrics, I think Bellamy plans to overturn government and start a revolution <---just a thought, but ill support if somehow muse finds a way...
@l12l674l496l lol thanks, the response video leaves more of the intended emotion rather than Matt just having fun with his fuzz factory. I mean, this song is still amazing, its just that i guess it sounds more happy at the end in this one, but if anyone is serious, then they would enjoy the response vid more... God bless
@SCHLOBABABER i think the same as you bro, i love how after the loud chorus and the massive electronic distortions only left the nude acoustic guitar to finish the song, is how if at the end it comeback to the start, it feels kinda cyclic, like the universe starting and ending again and again, yeah i know i'd sound eerie.
let me see... a song probably writen on the Showbiz era who has a turbo-hard rock spin-off on their Origin of Symmetry album which lyrics has strong religious/apocaliptical undertones like their Absolution album but it's sound definitively fits better on their Black Holes & Revelations album ratter than any other album, but is a b-side... only Muse can do something like that.
I've added it to my favorites a long time ago, but I can't stop listening it last few days. So I removed it from favorites and added it again, so it can be on the top. Cool story bro, I know.
I actually like this version a lot better than the original

This is not being a fan, you know, this is being a fanatic! Just admiring something/someone for everything without seeing his negative sides, and doing everything he will say.

@antrii I didn't mean it in the sense that Muse fans are going to go shoot themselves in the head! Of course not! What I'm saying, is that why would we be so insanely devoted to something that made no sense?
GreenTwiMuseDay12 8 months ago
@antrii And I'm not saying you are not a true fan because you wouldn't die for them. I'm saying you're not a true fan if you really think that Matt throws words together that sound sophisticated to make money! That's not what Muse is about AT ALL!
GreenTwiMuseDay12 8 months ago
@GreenTwiMuseDay12 I'll stop the argument. It doesn't change anything. I advice you to try to look at the things from more sides, there is nothing perfect in this world. Neither Matt!!!
P.S. I laughed a lot after you deleted the comment where you were saying that a true muser should be able to put a bullet in his head for Chris, Dom or Matt :))))) I hope you will never be a true muser in this sense! :)

@antrii Anyway, Matt has nothing to be blamed FOR! He writes about TRUE things, but you have to find the meaning! Most good, rational music doesn't blunt out tell you "Life is boring, and then I met you and you showed me how to live," or "I can't believe I was betrayed in such a way." No, you're going to use METAPHORS, and SIMILES, and EXAGGERATIONS! Along so, the tune of the song can hint you in. Slow song, despair or relaxation. Loud, hyper. Normal, content. It helps put together the pieces.

The same as many Islamic radicals, who are ready to blow themselves just because their leaders say it's right. You know, no one is perfect, everyone has smthg to be blamed FOR! :)Maybe it's just me who doesn't see the meaning in the lyrics, or maybe it's you who is a fanatic.... Anyway, this is just my opinion:)
P.S.With "music of today" i mean music of the last decades,it's degrading more and more. Muse is an exception in my opinion, they still have good high quality music, but their lyrics...

@GreenTwiMuseDay12 --I wonder if anyone out there reads poetry on a regular basis. Like the works of Emily Dickinson, for example. She used words in a very unconvetional manner in her works. Poetry, like song lyrics (good ones at least) are metaphors for emotions. Sometimes a phrase is the only way toexpress one's feelings, or to use it as a comparison for something else. Sometimes the lyrics are deliberately nonsensical; if you really want to know--ask the lyricist themselves about it.

hello, radio DJ? I'd like to dedicate this song to my ex boyfriend, because this means so much to me....okay, I had to say that, because he is so deserving of it. Especially the lyric 'I don't love you, and I never did'.
Hate me if you will, but if you only knew what that cretin did to me, you'd see why.

I am so torn between the two versions, though I find myself drawn to this one more. It's like an audio hallucination, a delirium that you don't want to end. I keep picturing a movie sequence where this song is the backdrop. It's just so epic sounding. And yeah, I could listen to this in endless loop.

This is the only song that has ever made me break into tears. I was trying to get this girl to dump her boyfriend and be with me instead. i was having a rough time, Then this song started playing on the ipod and i just couldn't keep my tears away.
i month later she dumped her boyfriend and has been my girl ever since, which is 1 year and a month now.
amazing how strong this song is

@l12l674l496l lol thanks, the response video leaves more of the intended emotion rather than Matt just having fun with his fuzz factory. I mean, this song is still amazing, its just that i guess it sounds more happy at the end in this one, but if anyone is serious, then they would enjoy the response vid more... God bless
SCHLOBABABER 10 months ago
@SCHLOBABABER i think the same as you bro, i love how after the loud chorus and the massive electronic distortions only left the nude acoustic guitar to finish the song, is how if at the end it comeback to the start, it feels kinda cyclic, like the universe starting and ending again and again, yeah i know i'd sound eerie.

let me see... a song probably writen on the Showbiz era who has a turbo-hard rock spin-off on their Origin of Symmetry album which lyrics has strong religious/apocaliptical undertones like their Absolution album but it's sound definitively fits better on their Black Holes & Revelations album ratter than any other album, but is a b-side... only Muse can do something like that.
