Lauren. Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Love the thread title. But not as much as I love this song. I'll love it endlessly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m0hawk Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 The strings in the chorus are beautiful. Complements Matt's voice perfectly. 3rd best off Absolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indyjones445 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I like the drums and the keyboard, vocals are a bit "meh" though . Great song though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man 0f Mystery Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 What part of him will we (she) never know, that what he'll never show? And yes, I love this song I think it's their best 'cheesy' song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3ker Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I love this song, as I've said a few times, it's so underrated I actually wish it was in the live set, like in the place of Undisclosed Desires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indyjones445 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Listening to it right now. Haven't actually listened in a while It's actually better than i remember Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack259 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 One of my favourites. Awesome track. The best soft song they've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miss_meadows Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Just beautiful, I love it so much. My, I love the Absolution so much in general, it's just perfect. A great lovesong but in a sad way (not just the cheesy way "I love you"), it's more about the complicated side of love (I'd say the reality of love/wrong time or wrong place or wrong person). I've often read comments like "Muse suck at ballads/slow songs" but I don't think like that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grw Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I love this song!! A couple of nights ago I discovered by best friend does too it's not one u tend to ever mention to people, but it's on my playlist that I listen to every night in bed to chill me out, so that and MOYH have playcounts that reflect being played every night for a year lol great music, and a little cheesy but beautiful lyrics. I see it as the forerunner to undisclosed desires Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forevermusic Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 That's what I think too. It's about wanting so much to have someone, to be able to give that person all the love one has and still not being able to find that someone or maybe not being able to be with the one, because she/he doesn't want to...? And the last line basically says that : ok, I I'm ready to give you may love, but you don't want it, so i'm done" - more or less. I don't know if it makes any sense, but that's how I see it. And btw, I love this song:) I love this song too - its one of my 4 favourite songs from Absolution (my favourite Muse album and one of my favourite albums ever). But that is essentially it - its a classic unrequired love song, but also touched with resignation and knowing that you're unlikely to get the one person you're ready to give all your love too. It is like a test-run to Undisclosed Desires. But personally I think Endlessly is better. Much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wingardium LevioSIA Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Endlessly is great. I'd say it's definitely about being desperately in love with somebody who is completely oblivious, and being too socially awkward to articulate your feelings. I believe that any "cheese" in the lyrics is deliberate, there to reflect that social awkwardness. So though a lot of people seem to think the lyrics are bad, I think their clumsy straightforwardness is actually really clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't personally notice any awkwardness or cheesiness in these lyrics, though I do agree that the song appears to be about loving someone without them knowing and not being able to express it.

I don't think it's cheesy either. But I doubt the Rick Astley reference ("I won't give you up; I won't let you down") is accidental. But that's just my opinion!

Victoroy Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 I finally started loving this song in the beginning of the month and it is now near the top of my list just a creepy/beautiful love song part of a creepy/beautiful/perfect album named Absolution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninsp Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 I can't listen to this song for a variety of reasons: a.) Matt rick-rolled everyone. b.) It sounds like Radiohead. c.) Lyrics are cheese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
