Sparky_ Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I think that pretty much all of Muse's songs are sad, lyrically, but the music isn't 'sad'. For instance take Muscle Museum, "Can you see the i am kneeling(?) begging for so much more than you could ever give", is pretty sad but the music isn't 'sad'. Notice i'm putting 'sad' in inverted commas because i'm using 'sad' as slow, haunting etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banksy. Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Space Dementia has to be one, for the same reasons as one of the posters above stated, and Falling Away With You. Oh, and erm, Guiding Light. Although that's a different kind of sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I am totally the opposite, Muscle Museum is screaming, dramatic, minor-based, an aura of hopelessness... I actually feel it's one of their saddest songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I am totally the opposite, Muscle Museum is screaming, dramatic, minor-based, an aura of hopelessness... I actually feel it's one of their saddest songs I think of it as more of a "fuck you" song, quite strong but with lots of repressed sad emotion. So not an aura of hopelessness because of it's fighting spirit. I love how Muse use quirky music in dark songs. I feel that I understand it emotionally, I can actually feel what it means physically, but it's difficult to explain or put into words. It kind of makes the undercurrent of sadness worse because it's disguised. It's similar to the sad clown idea. I think the best songs are based on that conflict and Muse use it a lot. Well their music produces that feeling in me a lot, at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnfrozenPoles Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Well for me Shine is definitely the saddest Muse song because it makes me feel the saddest. The bleakest muse song is Megalomania. I think Matt has said that song came out of one of the darkest times of his life. Megalomania is more satirical whereas Shine is more sentimental. Muscle Museum and Escape are sad but I feel that the conflict going through make them not so depressing. Soldier's poem is very sad too but it keeps sadness at a distance really as there is a feeling of resignation in it, I think. Citizen Erased is kind of sad but I would say it is less about sad feelings than it is trying to get rid of them or rise above them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareeh Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Erm, I wouldn't classify Falling Away With You as a sad song. More of a shit song. As for Guiding Light, it is in no way sad. fuck up falling away with you is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee3Dee Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 As for Guiding Light, it is in no way sad. That's not entirely true. It's sad in the sense that it's so impossibly shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenshin11212 Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 That's not entirely true. It's sad in the sense that it's so impossibly shit. *likes this comment* Shine always makes my eyes water, so I'll go with that. Escape would be a close second. They're also definitely two of their best songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shotoku64 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I say that Falling Away With You is only sad if you let Interlude play after it. It sounds like crying, and is the most agonizing crying I could imagine. Escape has almost the same thing going for it too, but via yelling and screaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyaltomuse Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 Well for me Shine is definitely the saddest Muse song because it makes me feel the saddest. Agree.
