That Little Animal Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 In the same vein, could 2133405057 be a phone number or something? Probably. Los Angeles area code if it's an American number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemian-Cygnus-Running-Out Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Probably. Los Angeles area code if it's an American number. Called the number, robot siri-type voice reading what must be the lyrics to Something Human. Pretty standard Muse love song lyrics, but gave me major Starlight vibes and that was welcome. I need something human, human human is def the chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartianSpaghettiRider Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 They're already reported on MuseWiki under SH page, if anyone's curious. After reading them, it seems to me this album might be a sort of sequel to the story of Drones thematically speaking, despite the drastic differences in sound.

Claudia O Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I never thought about a mention of my long-time favourite band Simply Red here :eek: but I can't hear a similarity... It reminds me of 80's music, for some reason "Take my breath away" by Berlin, from the movie Top Gun. don't ask me why... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewez26 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 No idea how this link will go but Matt just posted a video of himself playing SH solo acoustic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyjackk Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I really like the solo acoustic version he posted. Be interested to see how the actual version sounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alesi08 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Now I want a acoustic session. Kinda like Biffy has done when they promote a new album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSmallPrint02 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Matt posted a video on Instagram of him recording the first verse and chorus. Whoever suspected it would be acoustic was right. It's a brand new acoustic guitar as well, not the one he used for UD last year. From what I've heard so far, I actually really like the song - it kind of reminds me of Falling Down from Showbiz, probably mostly due to the use of numbers like "1000" and "500". Though I have a feeling my liking of the song will become an unpopular opinion. Worth noting, he also states Something Human was the first song written "after the Drones tour", presumably meaning the first written on the new album.

MartianSpaghettiRider Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Aaawww... That was... So good. And it's so fucking refreshing hearing this stripped down style after years of going commando production-wise. The lyrics are very peculiar, but they work so well. Simple but great chord progressions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum IV Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) Nice 5 second teaser you bellends. Matt reads the forums confirmed. Sounds really good. Can't wait to hear more! Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oGWeHPK3NC4 Muse seem to be taking a few pages from the Paramore book lately.

Jobby Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 That’s the cutest video of Matt you’re ever gonna see. Song’s alright, defo seems like a layover from Drones lyrically (which is....kinda a shame tbh ). I wouldn’t draw much from it sonically ‘cos the studio version clearly has a lot more going on but it seems refreshing in style at least. Couldn’t compare what we’ve just heard to any past Muse song.

Your ear for comparisons is....interesting Nah, they’re in the same key but that’s about it. Falling Down is vvvvv much a blues song through and through, totally different planet to something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that's exactly what I said! I'm glad someone hears it as well! Additionally, the use of numbers like "1000" and "500" in the chorus reminds me of the infamous "5000 houses burning down, no one is gonna save this town". Gotta bring this up again though due to the use of an acoustic, chances of a CoD return next year? And at a push, the aforementioned Falling Down too?

JessicaSarahS Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I’m actually feeling like this song might be decent. Agreed. I didn’t really care for the sample in the teaser, but the acoustic version is lovely. Matt is just so adorable in the video that I’m convinced that it’s my new favorite song.

HannahG123 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Adorable video. Not sure what I think about the song yet. ditto I'm actually surprised at how positive the reaction is so far. Also it's damn hard to speak and play an instrument at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clunge Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I fear whatever the studio version ends up being, I am going to prefer Matt's acoustic version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s3ker Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I fear whatever the studio version ends up being, I am going to prefer Matt's acoustic version. Same! But in general, I thought this was pretty good. Ive been pessimistic but this album might have some surprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSmallPrint02 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I thought my opinion on Something Human was going to be another uncommon one, but I'm glad to see most people agree with me. I think this song is beautiful. I love the acoustic version. It's the way how Matt just plays it so 'gently' with such a soft voice. I love it, it throws me back to Showbiz (sorry for continuously bringing that reference up ) I am very optimistic about the rest of this album now. I get that all the songs are likely to be different, but this song proves a risk like that pays off extremely well. Is the version from the sample the actual release and the acoustic is the live one? I hope the acoustic one is released as a studio recording so badly, it's just absolutely amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3ker Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Sample is the studio version. This acoustic thing is just to create a little hype around the tune and finally fulfill the bringing out the acoustic decade long prophecy. Doubt we'll ever hear him have a go at it acoustically again though. Which is a shame, a full version would be nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Little Animal Posted July 13, 2018 Author Share Posted July 13, 2018 Awww. A much more pleasant way of teasing a new release than weird pictures of 80s cars, if you ask me. I'm having a hard time envisioning (is there an audio equivalent of that word?) what the complete thing will sound like, but this was quite nice. I like it as well, I think, because we have indeed been waiting for something human from Muse for a while. Something a little more intimate, heartfelt and less forced and artificial. But that may just be me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
