I first heard this when I was maybe 15. Now I'm 25 and it completely resonates in a different light. It's like a time loop of our ever changing being. Everything that has happened, and everything that hasn't happened yet is happening right now and tears are falling down my cheeks but I can't help but smile.
This song brought me back to life after my husband's death. This music, this text seemed to have been written for me ... And I'm standing up, I'm going forward, I'm falling asleep with this song ...
This song got me through one of the most complicated parts of my life, and I'm listening it to it again for pretty much the same reason. This will always be my favorite Muse song for getting me through what I thought would be an impossible time to make it through.
I'm even not a Muse fan, but this song is beautiful. I mean a fantastic piece of music. Everytime this plays, I go to my happy place. A dark winter street in the town where I grew up in. I'm walking along the road with the snow crisping under my feet and the lamppost glares down. A quiet winter night, with my grandad's house in the distance. My family, everyone alive, enjoying Christmas. Cheering for the presents to come. The dream only means one thing: Good memories.
Last Saturday in Manchester this was so emotional, an oasis of tranquility in a concert that blew everyone away with it's sound, lighting and theatrical. These guys entertain and captivate the soul at the same time. Muse - the MASTERS
I want to play this when I get married when i'm older. The song is so beautiful, as are the lyrics. There's no way to describe how amazing and talented Muse are. They are truly musical geniuses
this is just... awesome song. I have no memories to think about, I dont have a great story to tell, but I can say now, that I am happy. This song makes me think about all my friends, all my family, everyone I love. Thanks for everyone who has ever put a second of their lifes to say something to me.
Their songs usually have to grow on you, especially the new ones for me. For example survival; it was so weird when I first listened to it, and I was like "nope, this is too much for me" but then with time I started to "understand" it and pay attention to all the little details and now I really like it.
This song re-energizes me...it doesnt calm me down, or hype me up...it sort of clears me and pumps me up a little...re-energize is the best word to describe it
This song means so much more to you when you've been through or are going through what it's about. This song is so true to real life. Being heart broken is one of the worst feelings in the world... :'(
Holy cow! These lyrics are the best thing I've read in english this past... existance! Paradoxes, rich rhymes, actual meaning, incremental repetition. This my friends, is a little marvel. Shakespear can vanish into oblivion for all I care! I should show this to my english teacher from last year.
I recall driving and it was snowing, yet the sun was shining. It was such a beautiful day and this song was playing in my car VERY LOUD. It was heavenly.
This song is undoubtedly the most beautiful song. Ever. I feel at peace but at the same time, torn inside when I listen to it. I got chills all over my body when I first listened to it. This song paints a picture in my head. Close your eyes and listen.
I think this song is written to every teenager out there, who's on the cusp of becoming an adult and facing the harsh, scary realities of the world, but still just enough of a child to be innocent and carefree, and is torn between these two universes. The song tells us to live in the moment and love yourselves and live to the fullest the life and youth that you have now, because when you no longer have that liberty, the world is painful and cruel.
This is the kind of song you listen to in the car when the rain streams down the windows and you think about things. Muse rule, when i listen to them they take me into another world. Hypnotic
All Muse songs are so full of emotions and have a way of reaching our heart and making us feel those same emotions as well. That's perfect. That's what Muse means to me :)
In my personal opinion, I think this song deserves more credit than what is already bestowed upon it. It's great not only for its beautiful music, but it's lyrics as well. Everything Matthew Bellamy and the rest of Muse writes always gets me tied so close to reality, no other artist has yet accomplished that goal.
I've been playing along with my mandolin to this, what a beautiful piece of music. Muse could release a classical version of this and also quite a few classical versions of their other material.
this song makes me smile and wanna cry at the same time. the lyrics are just brilliat and since i learned them i keep singing it i just think the message is so... true and touching. it makes me think about my friends and family. its beautifull
A triumph of music and emotion. Muse manage to do everything right, play every genre, blend the lines between rock and classical in ways never done before. So,listen to them as much as possible, because in the words of this song, "This life's too good to last."
I just wanted to quote this one thing you said.. ''But when you understand that life has no meaning,you'll feel free'', emm first time I hear anything similar..Your point of view of life has made me feel 'chills'..And made me happy I guess:)..So thanks..
I believe the song has an attempt at telling us someones view on life, stages in it. Our life wont last forever, those we love will die, we all grow up to fast, parts of who we are and were die. We forget about them, and lastly. Holding onto the past, achieves nothing. I believe that is only a small portion of what these words say to us. They tumbled the strings with the drums and vocals perfectly to create just the right emotion. The song conveys more than I comprehend.
i used to dance to this with my ex next to the tree we had out first kiss, i havent listened to it since, until i remembered the lyric ''and dont embrace the past'' so i got the tissues and here i am, thanks for the memories muse ♥
Everyone says what this song makes them think of, for me I'd have to say that I always find myself falling out of the sky, crying. It's such a mellow and yet deep song.
I remember slow dancing to this song with my girlfriend. I met her when I was five. She was my only friend. She held me when I was sad and lonely and I shared my happiest moments with her...she was killed in a car accident the day after our dance to this song. I buried her in the meadow we used to sit in when we watched the sunset together... Her love was too good to last...but I still sing for absolution with my muse. R.I.P Alexis, 1991-2009
I love the bit where the fuzzy guitar comes in. That tune reminds of the bit in Edward Scissorhands where the snow starts falling down. So easy to lose yourself with this song!
I listen to this song, and then I want to leave a comment, but this song is too amazing to be described in words, so I can't, but I have to do more than just click "Like", this song deserves more than that. So this is my comment explaining why I cannot comment. Muse forever♥
This song is like a haunting lullaby. Its beautifully meloncholly and sickningly sweet(': Absolutely wonderful. But how could anyone expect anything less from Muse?
love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love muse! Matt Bellamy is a freakin' genius! how can you possibly not love this song? ♥
Ι know how it feels,i was a christian,fanatic.I was raised in churches.But when you understand that life has no meaning,you'll feel free.When you'll feel alone in your both legs standing in a world full of dangers and crimes, you'll understand that the meaning of life is to live.And to live peacefull! This is the point of living, that we are expendable!Each moment is unique,we are not special,we have no purpose,that's why we are equal!That's why life is so nice!There's only one life,this one!

yeah when i first heard this around when I was 13 and I'm 29 now hahah i just really liked the song and now when I listen to it, it hits hard
I can relate so much. At 16 I first heard this after I bought the album. Beautiful song, amazing album.
I guess, by coming here, we've all marked ourselves as having some aspect of the same identity. We've marked ourselves unique.
Cella Mondegrine I can't agree more.
This song brought me back to life after my husband's death. This music, this text seemed to have been written for me ... And I'm standing up, I'm going forward, I'm falling asleep with this song ...
❤️
❤
So peaceful, so bittersweet... If death itselft was a music, it would be this song.
couldn't agree more
Agreed! This music is the synphony of a bridge to another life.
its got to be better than death ffs. it is the highest expression of the beautiful tragedy of life .
This and "Undisclosed Desires" remain tragically underrated.
what a strange statement.
This song got me through one of the most complicated parts of my life, and I'm listening it to it again for pretty much the same reason.
This will always be my favorite Muse song for getting me through what I thought would be an impossible time to make it through.
ayevah I hope you are doing okay! :)
Did u know we used to hunt for food everyday? Everyday was dangerous and loved ones were lost everyday yet people still loved and appreciated life
I'm even not a Muse fan, but this song is beautiful. I mean a fantastic piece of music. Everytime this plays, I go to my happy place. A dark winter street in the town where I grew up in.

My family, everyone alive, enjoying Christmas. Cheering for the presents to come. The dream only means one thing: Good memories.
Dear god, this is amazing. It can calm you down so fast but it also can remind you of something sad or good from your past
Makes me want to slow dance and run at the same time!
Sends chills down my spine every time i hear this
Going back to this song after seeing a young person die, appreciate your life kiddos
TheKina What happened? R.I.P.
Last Saturday in Manchester this was so emotional, an oasis of tranquility in a concert that blew everyone away with it's sound, lighting and theatrical. These guys entertain and captivate the soul at the same time.
Muse - the MASTERS
I want this to be played at my funeral
Yup m 2
+Rose Padfield I want this played at my wedding
me 2 but won't that make your family members even sadder
+Octavio Vega yes but THAT is funny, for a douchebag like me ^^
+Rose Padfield
I was thinking exactly the same thing...
I want to play this when I get married when i'm older. The song is so beautiful, as are the lyrics. There's no way to describe how amazing and talented Muse are. They are truly musical geniuses
How is progress?
This song sounds like heaven, literally like heaven.
the song works better than any damn anti depression drugs on the world.
Fanna Ham it does omg
Proof that the fact the nothing lasts for ever is what makes it all so wonderful. In a world where nothing died or faded this would be meaningless
this is just... awesome song.
I have no memories to think about, I dont have a great story to tell, but I can say now, that I am happy.
This song makes me think about all my friends, all my family, everyone I love. Thanks for everyone who has ever put a second of their lifes to say something to me.
Finally found the song I loved forever in Millions.
Imagining that scenario is a very powerful Feel....enough to fester a manly-tear in awe.

In my life soundtrack, this need to be at the last moment.
One of my favourite songs... ever!
I take music lesson, last day, I sang this, my mother was here and cried.
I love you mum
I can't believe how a band can write lyrics like that, has a voice such amazing, and make music like Muse do it.
This song means so much more to you when you've been through or are going through what it's about. This song is so true to real life. Being heart broken is one of the worst feelings in the world... :'(

the best part begin at 0:00 to 4:23
darel olguin even a second over 😂 the song ends at 4:22 but you said 4:23, but I'm not complaining
so sad. 😢. my brother played this over n over when he lost his 1st love.
Oh, dear! I hope he's fine right now! ❤
I believe this might be their best song. It sounds so timeless.
This song makes you feel like your flying or something!
So relaxing...
so peaceful

I'm crying, this is beautiful!
Aki me too
All those voices combined.. And then the leadsinger's soothing voice.. I love this song.
Bellamy was born to write and sing this song.
a song like this could be a good "emotional medicine"...
I just wanted to quote this one thing you said.. ''But when you understand that life has no meaning,you'll feel free'', emm first time I hear anything similar..Your point of view of life has made me feel 'chills'..And made me happy I guess:)..So thanks..

The lyrics are so perfect, is it bad that I want this playing at my funeral? C:
Jess Beeby no of course not!! I feel the same way.
This is one of their songs that I grew fond of only when I heard it played live... It is ten times more heart-wrenching and touching
As always, MUSE amazes me with a ground-breaking song. Don't stop leading the art of music!
i used to dance to this with my ex next to the tree we had out first kiss, i havent listened to it since, until i remembered the lyric ''and dont embrace the past'' so i got the tissues and here i am, thanks for the memories muse ♥

This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard.
words do not describe how utterly amazing this song is. of the all the brilliant muse songs, this one is definitely my favorite.
I went home and listened to this when my last band broke up. Never have the words of a song made more sense to me.
very nice song! made me cry =-(
I remember slow dancing to this song with my girlfriend. I met her when I was five. She was my only friend.

this song is the definition of beauty.
Its so amazing how Matt takes a guitar with severe distortion and turns it into a mellow work of Art
This is such a brilliant song, it does wonders when you're writing.
unbelievable, amazing, breathtaking song by one of the greatest bands ever. when i listen to this i'm taken away to higher places!!
the best songs generally dont have too many veiws ..
Who on God's Green Earth could DISLIKE this song?? It is stunning.
That's the beauty of music. It has a different meaning for each person. :)
The album cover goes so amazingly well with this song! I always look at it on my IPod when I'm traveling =]
I love the bit where the fuzzy guitar comes in. That tune reminds of the bit in Edward Scissorhands where the snow starts falling down. So easy to lose yourself with this song!
When I listen to this song while sleeping, I dream. While walking, I fly. While thinking, I imagine. That song, indeed, really makes you blackout.
thank you for posting this
Last time I listened to this song was in May, since then in July my grandmother died, and oh boy, listening to this again after that hits hard.
I'm so in love with this song... hopefully they play it in Athens ❤
Absolutly
to describe this song with words.......would undermine this song the only way to truly unravel the beauty of this song is to just listen
Starting off my new year listening to this
makes me forget everything apart from how life sucks and how Muse are awesome . Love it .
this is the most beautiful song ever
nuff said
God, this song gives me chills. So incredibly gorgeous and haunting and heartbreaking.
this is the only song ever that brings tears to my eyes
This song couldn't of have been any more beautiful!! I love Muse!!
I Love This Song
I listen to this song, and then I want to leave a comment, but this song is too amazing to be described in words, so I can't, but I have to do more than just click "Like", this song deserves more than that. So this is my comment explaining why I cannot comment.
Muse forever♥
i know everyone has his own oppinion but how can you dislike this song, this song is the best song ever made.
This song is like a haunting lullaby. Its beautifully meloncholly and sickningly sweet(': Absolutely wonderful.
But how could anyone expect anything less from Muse?
when you buy a cd you're lucky to get two or three good songs ...but with MUSE its like all their songs are good....it's rare to see talent like this
this is like a shorter version of Exogenesis Symphony. full of powerful emotion that you fail to realize is coming only from 3 people.its beautiful
love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love muse!
Matt Bellamy is a freakin' genius!
how can you possibly not love this song?
♥
My fav Muse song. One of the greatest songs of all time.
the beginnings of their songs are the best x) love them
"We saw the shadows of the morning light, shadows of the evening sun, til light and shadow are one... Go! Before it is too late!"
this is just too awesome.. the sound is so beautiful, and the dudes voice.. very soothing.. Muse rules
Muse are such good artists! They have what it takes to be called musicians
always after listening to heavy muse's stuffs, this is the one who makes me sane again. :D
This is going to be played at my funeral. And my graduation. I wish I'd discovered Muse earlier!
If this song had been playing on Flights 11, 175, 77, and 93, September 11th would've been another regular old day.
As bittersweet as hes ever been musically and lyrically.
addictided to this song. played OVER and OVER again for at least an hour.
WAIT TILL YOU HEAR THIS SONG LIVE....
They are so loud and clear ...matts best guitar solo....
Ι know how it feels,i was a christian,fanatic.I was raised in churches.But when you understand that life has no meaning,you'll feel free.When you'll feel alone in your both legs standing in a world full of dangers and crimes, you'll understand that the meaning of life is to live.And to live peacefull! This is the point of living, that we are expendable!Each moment is unique,we are not special,we have no purpose,that's why we are equal!That's why life is so nice!There's only one life,this one!
This song is majestic, perfect, beautiful...
i can listen to this song over and over. His voice is so dreamy!
Reminds me a little of "Edward Scissorhands"... even lyrics seem to fit a bit. Brilliant muse
