mint Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 The end of Bliss, I still remember the first time I herd that song, I was out in the woods during the day listening to the radio, I was how I first got into Muse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious Resistance Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Whenever Matt sings eternally missed in Eternally Missed.... It just makes me want to cry. It's beautiful.

Jemma Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 The random noices Matt makes during Dead Star, and the backing vocals in the chorus. The opening riff in Citizen Erased The "destroy yoooooooou" in HTAILY Yes, yes, and YES. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sing_For_Absolution Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 The end of Bliss, I still remember the first time I herd that song, I was out in the woods during the day listening to the radio, I was how I first got into Muse. I just got the most beautiful mental image from that Whenever Matt sings eternally missed in Eternally Missed.... It just makes me want to cry. It's beautiful. Whenever he starts singing I don't love you in hyper chondriac music Natural disaster in Nature_1 the falsetto in shrinking universe Yes and most definitely yes. I think the falsetto in SU is one of the best moments of Muse's career. It's just so effing gorgeous, the way Matt sings it. Luff <3 Also. "And blaze through your skies, so unafraid to die..." from Hate This & I'll Love You The far-off siren sound in Hyper Chondriac Music Fillip @ Bizarre in 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicePockets Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 this: But I wanted more With the cuts and the bruises Touch my face A hopeless embrace from glorious... it sounds amazing, every time i listen to it it makes me want to cry :'( beautiful... that whole song is beautiful, but that bit in particular *goes to listen to glorious* EDIT: [OR] But I still want more With the cuts and the bruises Don't close the door On what you adore <3 i think it's just the sound of that line, it just sounds so... :'( iunno, the notes are just... again, i don't know how they do it, it's genius.

NicePockets Posted December 31, 2009 Author Share Posted December 31, 2009 (double post) "shame on you for think you're a-a-a-alllll alooone" and then the little "If you want I'll make you wish you were" that whole song though... oh my god... *jizz* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starraxx Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 The most gorgeous thing ever in the history of songs from Muse is the last "Get it right" in Exogenesis: Symphony Part 3 (Redemption). Shivers, goosebumps and tears. <3 Exactly how I feel! I'm pretty much left in awe after this and once the songs is over. Then my CD starts over and Uprising kind of ruins it.. Also! Backing vocals for Assassin and Soldier's Poem Drums in Map of the Problematique And drums in TIRO the second and third time "bury it..." part comes around.

Enemy Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Hmm, I think this thread shows that although soooooo many people nowadays think lyrics aren't one of Muse's strong points... well, that that's just a bit wrong. They're fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetttodd Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 The "oohs" in Blackout. In Citizen Erased, the music before it goes into "For one moment..." When Exogenesis Part 3 starts to get faster [from 1:35 to 2:10] And of course, the part after that bit ^ The guitar solo in Guiding Light The 8 quick guitar strums along with some kind of shouting in Hyper Music. The guitar solo in Invincible The swallow in Map Of Your Head The part in Mk Ultra [2:12] When the drums start in New Born The harmonies in Soldier's Poem, plus "No I don't think you do", and the high pitched "juuuuustice". The half scream in Sunburn when he sings "hiiiiiiide from the world" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're fantastic. The lyrics have parts that sounds really good, which makes people like them, but that doesn't really make them good lyrics. Most of Matts lyrics are either really really simple or just bullshit that sounds good when you sing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hat Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 What's the difference? If they sound good then they're good Well then, if it was like that, why would the bands even make any effort in trying to make the lyrics mean something? Why not just put random words in it? And that would mean that good lyrics become bad if the music is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of Matts lyrics are either really really simple or just bullshit that sounds good when you sing it. That's the difference between lyrics and poetry then; lyrics are meant to be sung with songs, where one line sung out can mean more than the sum of the whole, unlike poetry (or at least most of it). So, Muse have good lyrics, no? Bands like The Smiths with their wordsmith lyrics are great, but that relates to different people, or at least different parts of people. I just think Muse have a great mix of hooky lines, and thoughtful lines. Good example - Supermassive, versus Hoodoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meep Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 "All of history deleted with one strooooooooo ooo oo oooke" Funny that I love that one a lot but MK also has one of my least favourite lyrics from the whole album "universe is trapped inside a tear" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, then we agree to disagree on what makes lyrics good then Muse are really good at what bthey do(did?), and their lyrics fit the music. AP, SS and S4A are perfect examples of pretty crap lyrics, that makes the music a whole lot better because they sound so fucking awesome, like the chorus of all the songs, it's just epic. Feels like I'm not really helping my own case right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do like singing the lyrics as they fit the songs really well and are quite memorable .... but really, I'd never consider them "good". I like clever/funny/pretty lyrics, of which Matt doesn't really have any hang of Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sing_For_Absolution Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I think the lyrics are pretty decent. Matt may not be a poet like Ben Gibbard or whom ever you like, but the words set the tone for the songs. I must admit, he got a little bit sloppy where The Resistance is concerned (When these pillars get pulled down, it will be you who wears the crown ), but there have been some good lines: "I've had reccurring nightmares that I was loved for who I am and missed the opportunity to be a better man" "There's no justice in the world, and there never was" "We'll pray that there's no god to punish us and make a fuss" etc. Or at least, these are the one's that have had potency in my life. "Who takes the longest in the bathroom?" *both point at Dom* When Matt jumps really high whilst playing guitar The TIRO/Hysteria bass intros The chimes in the Screenager intro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just meant that if the lyrics sound good in the context of the song, then they're good lyrics. Because they fit. Anyway I like lyrics I can relate to, not rambling profound poetry. Not in music anyway. However, having said that in general I like their lyrics, this is one of the worst lines I have EVER heard in a song, period... "Stretch it like a birth squeeze" It just makes me cringe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The exception would be GL or USoE, they just leave me whatever... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
