L. Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Thank you so much! Merci beaucoup! Tres bien! (I've only been doing French for two years (this is my third), so I'm still a beginner really). Thanks again Found the post here you do Okay translation Ah! Respond Respond to my tenderness Pour out to me, pour out to me the euphoria Respond to my tenderness Respond to my tenderness Ah! Pour out to me the euphoria Google took the first meaning of ivresse (which is "drunkness" ) but in this context it means the intoxication or euphoria caused by the sight of another person Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L. Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Ah thank you! I only got the drunken one from the translator before! Yes that's the main meaning so that's what online translator pick up in that case it's not drunkenness from wine but being intoxicated with a person (even tho we all know Matt loves his red wine) Just wish he could pronounce the French bits right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dying~Atheist Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Beats Guiding Light for the worst track on the album, sounds like the Scissor Sisters, the French bit is just horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dying~Atheist Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Sorry but you can't feel music . Who the hell are you to make a comment like that? I don't think it's a great Muse song and the worst track on the album thats my opinion and I'm sticking with it. There aren't many Muse songs I don't like and believe me I feel most Muse music big time, especially MK Ultra which is awesome. To be honest if you like this song so much maybe your'e the one that can't feel music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not that bad of a song... not the best, but it really isn't that terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarrieB Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Well I love it! I know it's a cover but the opera bit is sublime, gorgeous imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really not that bad of a song... not the best, but it really isn't that terrible. I've no doubt it will grow on me but I still think it will always be the worst song on the album as far as I am concerned. I don't think its a terrible song (the French bit doesn't help it) but compared to most other Muse songs it just doesn't do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoBear Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 think you guys have to realise that people have different opinions about this song, not everyone has to love every muse song (and if they don't, they're horrible horrible people). just because someone expresses the opinion that they don't like the song, or that they don't get it - doesn't give cause to tell them to get the fuck out or shut the fuck up. in real life, you're going to meet a lot of people who don't agree with you, get used to it.

Blocpartyanimal Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I actually sat down just now to pay attention to the lyrics and I have to say that they really are cringeworthy. Especially the pronunciation of the French lines are How I heard them first was more like Ah, wee pond Wee pond I might undress you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't cringe when I listen to non-native English speakers singing in English. As long as I think the song is good, I could care less if their English is less than perfect.

As long as I think the song is good, I could care less if their English is less than perfect. That's one way to look at it. I just think that if you're going to use a gimmick in one of your songs you better do your research before you actually do it because it WILL come back to bite its own tail if it's not done properly. I also fail to see what it actually ADDS to the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkadelic Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 As someone mentioned earlier, the French adds to the atmosphere of a jazzy French cafe set in the 40's. It feels like a magical, melodramatic love story in a similar vain to Hoodoo. Along with the clarinet solo, it's the icing on the cake for me. I think in order to appreciate this song you just have to let go and embrace the campiness of it all, including the cheeky lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abolyss Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 so my girlfriend was doing a bit of snooping and Mon cœur s'ouvre à ta voix is an aria from the opera Samson and Delilah. The part he sings in french are the last two lines in the first verse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mon_c%C5%93ur_s%27ouvre_%C3%A0_ta_voix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azulmono55 Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 So I have been unable to get this song out of my head since my CD/DVD arrived today... So good, yet it should be bad. HOW DO MUSE DO THIS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beeSides Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 i love the first section of the song...love love until the use of the word "muse" this fucking bugged me like nothing else...well ok...like julia roberts impersonating herself in that oceans 12 (?) movie. SO CHEAP...why do it? then the french bit kicked in and the look came on my face. the clarinet bit was cool.. that said..there have been many muse songs that i didn't like after one listen and that i grew to appreciate over time. but that's my initial impression of it. leading to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
