Song of the Week 9

Origin of Symmetry - Muse - 2000

My brother told me I would probably like Muse. I asked where they were from, he told me England and I agreed I probably would like them. I have since found I really enjoy two of their six albums, though I haven't listened to the others yet.

This album is quite hard to only pick two songs from. Bliss, Space Dimentia, and Megalomania are definitely the top 3 songs from the album, and among my favoritest songs ever, but the other pieces are also quite enjoy able. Let's start with Bliss. I love high, electronic sounding, arpeggiated melodies (or really, they're more like harmonies).

Bliss - Origin of Symmetry - Muse

Everything about you is how I wanna be
Your freedom comes naturally
Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less

Give me all the peace and joy in your mind

Everything you pains my envying
Your soul can't hate anything
Everything about you is so easy to love
They're watching you from above

Give me all the peace and joy in your mind
I want the peace and joy in your mind
Give me the peace and joy in your mind

Everything about you resonates happiness
Now I won't settle for less

Give me all the peace and joy in your mind
I want the peace and joy in your mind
Give me the peace and joy in your mind

This song is mostly dark and creepy. I like that.

Space Dementia- Origin of Symmetry - Muse

H8 is the one for me
It gives me all I need
And helps me coexist
With the chill

You make me sick
Because I adore you so
I love all the dirty tricks
And twisted games you play
On me

Space dementia in your eyes and
Peace will arise
And tear us apart

And make us meaningless again
You'll make us wanna die
I'd cut your name in my heart
We'll destroy this world for you
I know you want me to
Feel your pain

Space dementia in your eyes and
Venus will arise
And tear us apart
And make us meaningless again

I LOVE the pipe organ. A couple of days ago I bought an electric guitar, so I can learn to play Through Fire and Flames by Dragonforce (and of course everything by Nightwish), but if there's one other instrument I'd like to learn to play someday, it's the pipe organ. On that note, on to Muse.

Megalomania - Origin of Symmetry - Muse

Paradise comes at a price
That I am not prepared to pay
What were we built for?
Could someone tell me please

The good news is she can't have babies
And won't accept gifts from me
What are they for?
They'll just grow up and break the laws you've loved

Take off your disguise
I know that underneath it's me
Who are you oooh

Useless device it won't suffice
I want a new game to play
When I am gone - it won't be long
Before I disturb you in the dark

And paradise comes at a price
That I am not prepared to pay
What were we built for?
Will someone tell me please

Take off your disguise
I know that underneath it's me
