Claudia O Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Out tomorrow! Elisa is an Italian singer. Here‘s a snippet and a post on her Instagram site https://www.instagram.com/p/ClWIwvqI43p/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muse samuse Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Matt sings the first verse. Elisa sings the second verse in Italian. Matt and Elisa duet through the rest of the song. Elisa has also covered Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen in concert. You can find it on YouTube. She has a beautiful voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia O Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) Yes, their voices match well, her voice is good, but did they just take the song, added her voice into it or replace Matts parts? No, I don‘t like it. It sounds too dramatic now, not heartfelt anymore. Edited November 25, 2022 by Claudia O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Little Animal Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Yeah, a little disappointing that this duet is just adding the second singer’s vocals to the already existing song. But I suppose the vocals for a lot of duets aren’t recorded with both singers in the same studio simultaneously. Would be great if they get to do this live together on a few stops this tour. It reminds me of those Laura Pausini duets from the 90s. I could see this getting some radio play. For sure in Italy, but maybe beyond as well.

Spiralia-statica Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I prefer the version with Matt's voice only... His voice has a too powerful and ecstatic effect on me and I can't listen it with another one (except Chris' usual backing vocals of course), even if Elisa has a very beautiful voice too, because I feel like if my music ecstasy was cut in the middle 😟 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silentgod86 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Feels like I clicked a Muse Reddit link to a bad cover version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia O Posted December 8, 2022 Author Share Posted December 8, 2022 Aaand the next duet 🤔 https://muse.lnk.to/MF-Ghosts in how many languages then? Spanish, German, Chinese 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia O Posted December 9, 2022 Author Share Posted December 9, 2022 I like Mylene‘s voice more, but for this song Elisa‘s suits better. But I don‘t need any of those collabs, I prefer Matt only 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiralia-statica Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Agree, Elisa's voice suits better because more powerful. Mylene's voice can't rise enough in the chorus and it sounds a bit flat for my ears. And like you I prefer Matt only 🙂 I hope it's the last collab, I'm afraid when I read on YouTube comments fans asking for others in so many languages (Spanish, German, Serbian, Japanese, Portuguese...) 🤣 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia O Posted December 11, 2022 Author Share Posted December 11, 2022 I bet for a Spanish and a German version…but I don‘t want them. (But I speculate which German-speaking singer it could be 🤣) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Little Animal Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Dutch lyrics submitted for duet with (insert talented singer): Now and then My mind drifts to a place where I find you Lost in my head There are unsolved feelings that haunt me It's too late to heal I'll lay them to rest How can I move on When everyone I see still talks about you? How can I move on When all the best things I have we made together? Here's to letting go But I am lost in a void with your ghost and our memories Lest we forget The great reset Als je terugkwam dan Zei ik de woorden die ik je nog moest vertellen Ik maakte het goed En jij zou me dan kussen en ook vergeven Ik weet dat het niet kan Ik laat je gaan En hoe ga ik nou door Als iedereen om me heen over you blijft praten? En hoe moet ik nou door Als het beste in mij door ons samen gemaakt is? Ik moet je laten gaan Maar 'k zit hier vast met je ziel en het beeld van ons samen Ik ben zo bang Dat ik ons vergeet How can I sleep with this coldness beside me? How can I sleep with this coldness inside me? I know I can't bring back your love How can I move on When everyone I see still talks about you? How can I move on When all the best things I have we made together? Here's to letting go But I am lost in a void with your ghost and our memories Lest we forget The great reset 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paranoiawilldestroy Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I know this is an old post, just wanted to comment (I'm feeling a bit fucked and come on here whenever I'm feeling washed out by the world.) Anyway, I really enjoyed this song (prefer the solo version 2bf, it's got a cool classical sound). It's very honest, and lyrically its the best constructed on the album. I've used music as a framework to explore this strange planet throughout my adult life. I'm hugely attracted to songs that put the writer's heart on show. Pain transcends into something else entirely throughout this number... art. Storytelling is there too, which is sometimes something that Muse could do better at. I read the Apple Music article that told me Matt was just kind of fucking about on the piano for this one, and presumably penned the lyrics to fit the piece. I wonder if that process should be something that they try and do more of? Like, put personal lyrics into a piece of music, rather than write around themes? The sound in this song really suits the band. Music always makes a difference to people's lives, but when a writer is concerned with fitting lyrics into a preconceived idea, it shows. That idea could be as simple as a branding thing, as in trying to predict where music is heading, or it could be hitting onto overarching themes that don't fit into song as a medium. Music from the heart is soul food, and I want to hear more Ghosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoiawilldestroy Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Actually, thought the duet was auto tuned lol, must have given it a cursory inspection. Really like it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paranoiawilldestroy Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Last one like Ghosts was Exo-politics, another fine tune (chronologically). Thing with showbiz is it becomes the answer in itself. Folk get into music for various reasons, but generally musicians love music. Love. No matter how skilled, hypothetically a musician is making a contribution to an artform they adore . Not constructing a monument to their talent. That's what makes good musicians voices so incredibly special methinks- they inject their loving souls into the lives of others. I'm babbling now so I'll go and try and talk myself into trying to snooze. Probably after I've listened to the rest of Black Holes. Knights of Cydonia presents a strong counter argument to what I've just said. Suppose a balanced album should consider loads of things, just ignore these posts I'm mashed.
