Cross-Pollination is the best Muse song ever made

I think you'll find Redemption is.

[CarrieB]

Redemption is definitely my favourite of the three, followed by Overture and then Cross Pollination. I have to giggle a bit at the names, you can't quite take that seriously, but stunning tracks.

Well except for "Overture."

 

 

 

I hate the lyric "you stole my overture."

[ChasingDreams]

Eeeh I don't think I have a favorite chunk of Exo...I like to listen to all it as one long song. I do love playing Redemption on the piano though (mostly because Cross-Pollination looks too hard lol)

[Anxyous]

Why's that?

[BingBongPing]

I watched lord of the rings last night and just realised where part 1 was ripped from.

I would say its probably the best thing Matt has ever written.

Exogenesis is a stunning masterpiece. It is Muse's magnum opus. It takes you on an incredible journey through space while inducing great emotions along the way. The most powerful part of the song is definitely part III. The piece is so beautiful and well written that at the last time through the piano solo and strings section, I literally had tears streaming down my face. Never before has music ever penetrated my emotions so deeply. Hats off to Matt, Chris, and Dom for creating such a beauty.

I hate the lyric "you stole my overture."

 

It does sound a bit weird, using the word "overture" in the lyrics when it's a description of the movement. But I'm thinking that, together with the "aping my soul" line, it could mean that some oppressive outside force has taken away his "overture", or beginning. His past, his memories, even his birth, have been stolen, eradicated, so that he hardly has a soul at all. In 1984, it was said "who controls the past controls the future: who controls the present controls the past". The government that the resistance are fighting against controls everything, and in having control over his past, they dictate his future, and so he is "trapped in God's program". And that's why the end of the world is inevitable.

 

Cheery stuff!

Overture can mean several things

[Clunge]

Finally got round to glueing all three parts together. It makes no sense as three individual tracks.

 

My copy of The Resistance now simply runs:

 

Uprising

Resistance

Undisclosed Desires

United States Of Eurasia

Guiding Light

Unnatural Selection

MK Ultra

I Belong To You

Exogenesis

 

Much better.

I know. And I thought "introduction" or "beginning" made the most sense in the context of the other lyrics...

It's a good interpretation.

 

 

The way I see it Overture (the song) is about the fatality of what is happening to the human race at the beginning of the end.

 

Aping my soul / you stole my overture: we are told how to feel and what to do, our beginning escapes us we had no say on how it all started.

 

trapped in God's program / I can't escape: describe the fatality of the situation, we are trapped in the plan a divine power has decided for us (i.e. in this case the end of the world and the human race)

 

And then it moves on to the philosophical questions that we all ask ourselves (especially when faced with our own mortality): who are we, what are we, etc...

Agreed. Exogenesis should've been a single track with 3 index points. But if forced, I would say that Cross-Pollination is my favourite part by a small amount.

[Carbo]

I cant decide whether I like Pt 1 or Pt 2 the most. On one hand Pt 2 is a massive amalgamut of what is pretty much the Muse trademark and what I love them for. But on the other, Pt 1 is a chills-down-the-spine epic, melancholy, brooding and sad melody. Once the guitar comes in I always visualize a dystopia... It's inspired me so much to my stories and projects.

[Hopix]

Its one song ppl listen to it as oneeee

 

Oh don't worry, I've never listen to them individually. But you can still choose a best section.
