I'm gonna join in the sappiness and say that Muse mean the world to me. I love their talent so much, it has always blown my mind in a way nothing else could for so long, and so many times, again and again.
I just can't believe how good songs like New Born are, they have the power to make any bad feelings go away when I put my headphones on and focus on the music. I, too, have felt like making music because of them, and I am learning to play the piano now so I can play the songs I love so much and feel them even more deeply.
I am still in love with them, too! I love The Resistance and The 2nd Law just as much as I love Origin of Symmetry and Absolution
