Citizen_Eraser Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Idk why I didn't hear the country stuff my first listen. Probably because it drags on and I lost interest. This is like some Toby Keith post 9/11 lets all stand together shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wickerman Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Not sure about this... I like the guitar work at the start,but the rest... It's not bad,but the vocal melody is a bit of a cheesefest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainer219 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Listening to this again. Wow, it really builds up well! That tremolo guitar and Matt's notes - I don't care how cheesy it may be a song - it's really passionate and expressive and it does it REALLY well!

JessicaSarahS Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 It's so country! I wonder if they were hoping to pull in more US fans with this. You know what it could be true but, I dont care. It's something beautiful and different from the other ballads muse has written as a band. It's just not something I would expect from an English rock band. Maybe that's what they wanted to accomplish. Idk why I didn't hear the country stuff my first listen. Probably because it drags on and I lost interest. This is like some Toby Keith post 9/11 lets all stand together shit. Just gotta add in something about loving his pickup truck and beer and it'll be the damn national anthem!

blinkin fightuse Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 For some reason, I thought I'd like this song at the beginning, but that chorus throws me off every time. Just sounds like some sort of choir song. Not at all what I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucasWay89 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I've cried every time I've listened to it for this. I lost the love of my life in August and she was as big as Muse fan as I, I genuinely think this would have been our first dance. (Though it may have taken some convincing, she was dead set on Starlight). I don't know whether to love or hate the song for getting that reaction from me.

Man, I seriously cried when I read this while listening to the song. I'm so sorry for your loss. Just message me if you need someone to talk About the song: What does it remind me of? The beginning sounds like a musical I think. Edited June 3, 2015 by Michi2801 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt's Jawbone Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 This song has stuck with me since hearing it for the first time. Absolutely haunting track with beautiful lyrics and gorgeous harmonies. This was the unexpected hit of the album for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losco Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I like very much the first 2/3 of the song. The ending is pretty shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really lame seeing kind of shit posted about every song's ending, I literally have no clue what it is that "ruins" these songs for everyone.

bananaman_ Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) Lol Exactly what i was thinking when i heard the last part. Sounds like a fucking christian rock song, I hate it... Edited June 3, 2015 by bananaman_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridic Ditto My favourite song of the second half Agreed, I think it's beautiful. Ten times better than Save Me and Explorers, and possibly my favourite slow song of theirs since Endlessly.

Mr Problematique Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I like the guitar work and the verses, not that much the chorus though. Not Musey at all but I like it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black4bird Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 The only thing that could've made the ending cheesier was an uplifting modulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillyracer Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Best ballad type song they did since Invincible. I just wish that sing-along backing vocals in the end wasn't there when the guitar work really kicks in, it just keeps on going and going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
