Muse -- 'Stockholm Syndrome': "2003, exhausted from years of dealing with Satan's minions in the music industry, started on anti-depressants. I began writing a song about it, called 'Normal.' I wrote the first line 'I just got a new medication ...' and then the drugs kicked in. It was like someone pressed a giant pause button in my head and I couldn't write another word, another note, anything. All the bad stuff in my head was silenced, and the good stuff, too. A year later, I was off the meds, batteries re-charged and waiting for the creative juices to start flowing again. It wasn't happening. It sometimes takes a fit of rage to break my head open and get the songs to pour out. And right on schedule, a prominent figure in the music industry tried to blackmail me -- that did it. The songs started flowing, and the Muse 'Absolution' album brought me great peace and inspiration during that time. Hearing it reminds me of being at a resort in Hawaii writing songs for the 'Normal' album. When I toured Europe later that year, we sometimes did a cover of the Muse song 'Stockholm Syndrome.'"

 

Nice :)

Hmm.... I actually think this song is a bit overrated. I like it and all, but it's definitely not in my top 10, or even top 25, Muse songs. It just gets kind of boring after a while, in my opinion.

 

True, the song itself is over-rated but it's one of the few songs that they still play with energy. The way they play it live is why it's so good.

I love it so much! I love it so much that I would marry it if I could! :LOL: If they played an entire 1.5 hr gig with just SS, I would be happy. :happy:

 

 

Ok, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration, but I still love it. It's definitely in my top 10. :LOL:
