Can you imagine how otherworldly would it be if it was used in the climax of a deeply emotional movie about life, death, space, God, time and the human nature? I'd cry like a fucking baby. I almost do listening to this heavenly piece of music by itself.
My wife is a 72 year old great granny and she is listening all the time to the whole lot of them, especially we are fucking fucked,as we realise what is happening all over the world to everybody, especially the great culling that is starting and going going to remove millions of people.
There are only two proper ways listen to Muse: 1. With high quality headphones to experience everything as if you yourself are the music and 2. Blasting their music with your best speakers so the entire neighborhood can hear their genius whether they like it or not.
I'll keep that in mind for the next music war my neighbor and I have. Gangster rap doesn't sound so good at higher volumes. Muse, Dimmu Borgir, Amon Amarth, some Metallica, and 80s thrash metal all thrive at high volume. I know what gets on his nerves though. The Bloodborne Soundtrack. I've heard him die literally hundreds of times to the Bloodstarved Beast. That cranked to max with a Bose system. Let the suffering commence.
True dude. I do have an alternative though. I'm old, and deaf. My hearing aids Bluetooth to the phone. The sound quality out of a £3500 hearing aid makes airbuds look like something Argos would sell for a tenner. The neighbours can't hear it though.
I listened to this song when I hit rock bottom at the literal worst part of my life... I cried and wailed in absolute anguish... and then the musical conclusion actually made me feel better. This song literally saved my life.
Then you understood what the symphony represents. Probably steer clear of Stockholm Syndrome until you feel 100% stable. An amazing track to look back on the past with.
'The Resistance' was the first MUSE album I heard, it seemed incredibly good to me until 'Exogenesis Symphony' came along and the first time I heard it I had no words to describe the feelings it produced in me. It is a masterpiece of the incredible Matthew Bellamy, inspired by the progressive rock of the 70 'and the finest pieces of classic composers, it reminded me of Pink Floyd (another of my favorite bands) and their album' The Dark Side of the Moon', the constant experimentation with sounds, chords, and vowels, that juxtaposition between digital and analog elements, at the sonic level presents a deeply rooted complexity. My interpretation of the symphony is panspermia. Humanity, reluctant to take for granted that the Earth is finished, is forced to flourish again elsewhere in the Cosmos. The physicist Carl Sagan used to say: "Nitrogen is in our DNA, calcium in our teeth, iron in our blood, we were made inside collapsing stars, we're made of star-stuff." In a way, we are a product of the celestial bodies. The word "exogenesis" means "originated from outside", and each piece is told in a linear way with different musical arrangements, but capable of connecting the story in an epic way. The first part (Overture) embodies humanity's struggle against its own final destiny, a consequence of its own actions. "Caught in God's program. Who are we? Where are we? Why are we?" describes the natural questioning of human beings about questions that will never have a clear answer. In the end, when Bellamy sings: "I cannot forgive you, and I cannot forget", he may be referring to the "God's program" that could do nothing to prevent the jaded end of earthly civilization, or to the very human beings who seek passionately blaming their peers for those acts they commit themselves. "Overture" is a hymn to anxiety, exasperation and that feeling of not being able to go back in time and the acts that happen in it, in the end, humanity, without hope, questions the very reason for existing if the final end is already written. The second part (Cross-Pollination) begins with a surprising piano arrangement, similar to the pieces by the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin and the Hungarian virtuoso Franz Liszt. "Cross-Pollination" is actually a natural process, this type of pollination is characterized by the transfer of pollen grains loaded with genetic material from a flowering plant (angiosperm) to another that is further away, unlike the auto-pollination (pollen transfer) in the same flowers of a single plant. For obvious reasons, cross-pollination has evolutionary advantages. The Encyclopedia Britannica argues: "Genetic variability within a cross-pollinating population may allow some individuals to adapt to their new situation, ensuring the survival of the species." The incredible thing about this is that cross-pollination usually occurs thanks to a natural agent such as wind, and in this piece of the symphony, Bellamy sings: "Rise above the crowds, through the toxic clouds and break the outer sphere" and sentence in an epic crescendo that "it is up to you to spread our codes to the stars." That parallelism between a fully natural fact and the hope of humanity to perpetuate its species in the middle of an epic cataclysm, loaded with a sublime arrangement performed on the piano, almost brought me to tears the first time I heard it. "Cross-Pollination" is the hope that humanity will find a space outside its "container" flower (Earth) in the farthest reaches of the universe. Unlike "Overture", this piece contrasts the feeling we have when something that we thought was totally lost, still has opportunities to be reborn; It is there when we engage in any battle in order to preserve it. Finally, the piece with which I could not contain emotions arrives: "Redemption". The third part of the symphony represents humanity that has managed to escape its imminent end, with great difficulty and sacrificing everything it could have had. This piece begins with a timid progressive crescendo, unlike the previous part that symbolized a sense of setback and urgency. "Redemption" begins shyly because it represents all of us when we recover from a fall, we return to ourselves progressively but not in a hurry, also the product of our own psychological reaction to the fear of failing again, but previously we seized on the opportunity to survive, so now we have to look up again. After a majestic progression on the piano accompanied by the violin, Bellamy sings, "Let's start over again. Why can't we start over?" and it starts with a sweet but energetic melody. We have regained our vitality. I believe that this final part represents humanity seeing a new horizon, those who went into space to look for a new home realize that everything is part of a great cycle, of the great phase to which everything is subjected, up to the existence itself. At this point, Bellamy sings: "Just let us start it over again, and we'll be good. This time we'll get it, get it right. It's the last chance to forgive ourselves" hinting that if we do not change, our destiny will be ruined again. The diminuendo at the end is the representation of humanity accepting its past mistakes, with a view to starting over without making the same mistakes. Almost 13 minutes of pure magic, an ethereal sensation that cannot be expressed in words. When I finished 'The Resistance', one night when I was not feeling well, I could only feel a few tears falling. I am someone who enjoys art and music, it seems to be the most sublime expression of a human being; Since I was a little boy I have dreamed of the stars, I have observed them and I have asked myself the same questions that some people usually ask about existence, amid innocence and bright eyes. "Exogenesis Symphony" is managed to condense years and years of emotions into a single song. A musical and literary masterpiece. Since then, MUSE is probably my favorite band.
Yesterday was the first time i listened to this beautiful incredible unexpected piece. So since yesterday, i listen to it, whenever i have a couple of minutes and i cry every time. I dindt expect this to be so overwhelming. Didn't know about this piece of art from MUSE. It hit my heart and soul. And the third part hits my soul everytime, the beauty, the music, the lyrics. Thank you MUSE. I love you.
+Martin Adshead I can't believe I actually had this happen to me when I was listening to part 2... I've literally never had that happen before... I think I tripped without drugs...
Bien sûr qu'on est d'accord...de toute façon le morceau tout entier doit être la plus belle chose jamais Composée depuis que la musique existe 😛.. bon j'exagère peut être un peu, mais j'assume être un des plus grands fans de Muse de la planète..ce groupe est tellement au dessus de tout les autres ( et pourtant il y en a des bons) que ça devient indécent..Muse un jour,Muse toujours 😀🎸🎸
this IS pretty much a muscial version of Interstellar, as it talks about an apocaliptic future where earth has gone to sh*t, so they're sending humans to the moon so they can make it a living place.
My ex-gf showed me this musical piece. She died in 2013, I listen to it every year to remember her and her undying lack of faith in humanity to survive. She might be right. But music will skyrocket the human species to heights unheretoforeseen. This symphony is evidence of our universally human desire to strive and transcend our existence, to reach new pinnacles of culture, science, inventions, human achievements that solidify the grandeur we feel when we commune with the universe at large. The numinous shows itself in its purest form in this song, on par with classical music at its most refined.
My late husband, who died suddenly four and a half years ago, introduced me to Muse. We saw them live at the Emirates, which was a truly fantastic experience. At his funeral we entered to Explorers. It was so appropriate.
This kind of stuff renews my faith in the human race. It's not the MOST complicated orchestration or arrangement ever, but it's full of emotion, pays homage to so many forms, styles, and periods of music, and makes me feel good when I listen to it. I also love the juxtaposition of analogue and digital instruments. It's really sonic genius. If an alien race light years away hears this (assuming they process and perceive the vibration from mechanical pressure waves like we do), they will want to meet us.
My favorite is Cross Pollination, is like desperate and I can imagine the humanity feeling the end. Also the part "Spread our codes to the stars, you must rescue us all, tell us, tell us your final wish, now we know you can never return..." is great, I got goosebumps every time and I love to sing that part, well, the whole Exogenesis :)
The whole symphony it's truly beautiful, but Cross-Pollinitation really makes me cry: The lyrics and arrange are so powerful to me; specially the verse "Tell us, tell us your final wish? Now we know you can never return" … Hell… That's really gonna happen sometime.
This is what sets Muse apart. They do stuff that no one else does, and do it so well that you just HAVE to notice. Muse is a true band, as they explore and create so many different types of music that have only one thing in common. They are incredible.
My favorite Muse song of all-time and easily in my all-time 5 top songs across all music genres. Matt Bellamy is one of the very few Mozarts of the modern times. I'm 100 % sure Wolfgang himself would approve if he heard this song.
Aping my soul You stole my overture Trapped in God's program Oh I can't escape Who are we? Where are we? When are we? Why are we? Who are we? Where are we? Why, why, why? Woah I can't forgive you And I can't forget Who are we? Where are we? When are we? Why are we? Who are we? Where are we? When are we? Why are we in here? /////////////////////////// Rise above the crowds And wade through toxic clouds Breach the outer sphere The edge of all our fears Rest with you We are counting on you It's up to you Spread, our codes to the stars You must rescue us all Spread, our codes to the stars You must rescue us all Tell us, tell us your final wish? Now we know you can never return Tell us, tell us your final wish? We will tell it to the world /////////////////////////// Let's start over again Why can't we start it over again Just let us start it over again And we'll be good This time we'll get it, get it right It's our last chance to forgive ourselves
Imagine clicking the save button after composing, playing, replaying, recording, fine-tuning. Should this bit be added or not. Is this couplet spot-on. The doubt. Everybody telling you it's enough. Still doubting to publish.... And then finding out you just made a masterpiece...
Also Redemption can be very calming if you're listening to it while it's sunny and slightly windy outside and just the right temperature. Especially if you hear leaves calmly blowing in the wind.
Ashley Wagner, a figure skater, skated to Redemption. She conveyed such beautiful emotion for the piece, it was absolutely outstanding for a visual to anything so perfect and sincere~
I just looked up that performance and I literally for the first time appreciated figure skating. She brought that song to life before my eyes. Thanks for sharing!
I've always considered this piece my favorite part of this record, but I must say Redemption is my absolute favorite of the three. Every second of it has meaning and purpose... the drums, the notes his voice can hit, the piano, the simple lyrics that jab you right in the heart. it's such a hopeful and positive piece... I wonder what was going on in his life when he wrote it. This time we'll get it right...
Of course. I think Redemption is everyone's favourite part. Part of the reason it's so poignant, though, is because of the first two parts. The context gives it power.
When I was a kid, I used to listen to this and think through a story I made up in my head. It was about a guy who was snatched from his own time by a corporation far into the future and taken to that future to be essentially turned into a god using the future's technology. Of all the people ever born throughout history, he was the only one who had the physical, mental, and chemical composition that would allow the procedure to be successful. With this procedure, and the technology that was implanted into him, he could control and change any matter he wished to on command. He could appear in any location at any point in time, he could reverse or speed up the flow of time around him, and he would live forever, with the incredible technology that had replaced so much of him during the procedure constantly renewing him and making it impossible for him to ever die or be destroyed. He was given a suit that acted as an extension of himself, whether he was inside it or not. The goal of this corporation was to create a tool that truly had a human mind, something that they could teach to save the universe from problems that they saw threatening it. This proved extremely effective, as the technology he was endowed with gave him abilities that even a god would struggle to comprehend. This man could end wars, end lives, end galaxies with a single thought to simply separate the matter that whatever thing was causing the problem was made of. Eventually, the corporation had fulfilled their goal in solving the problems that they saw throughout history. At this point, after lifetimes of service, all the man wanted to do was return home to his own time and his own life. But this was something he could never do. Having made so many enemies during his service, plenty of word had spread around, and the man knew that returning home would allow any enemies that the corporation had been unable to identify to discover who he is and kill him before he was ever turned into this machine. Knowing this, the corporation implemented technology into the man that would prevent him from ever returning to his own home on Earth. Being unable to return home, the man had one request: to die. He begged the corporation to kill him, knowing that he would spend the rest of eternity simply existing with no direction. The corporation was unable to do this, and it enraged the man. The corporation had informed him midway into his service that he would be unable to return home, but had promised him that they could end his life with the snap of a finger. As the man found out, this turned out to be a lie. His service has changed the man into an aggressive, impulsive weapon, and with one enraged thought he destroyed every person and facility that once was the corporation. He simply erased them, and he never once regretted the action nor tried to undo it. With nothing left, and with no end, the man had nothing to do. he was broken and lost. He would spend thousands of years at a time aimlessly floating through space until he was caught in the orbit of a planet and discovered by humans that had colonized space over the course of their existence. This far into the future, legends of the man had spread everywhere, and inevitably those who discovered the man begged him to help solve their problems. His solution? Erase everything. Separate atoms, molecules, all kinds of matter of the people on the planet and everything they owned. He simply could not make himself fight the battles of anyone else after what the corporation had made him do. During his service, he thought he had been doing the right thing, but after learning the hard way that he had been used as a weapon, he would never allow anyone to use him as a weapon again. If they knew who he was, they could not be left intact. Finally, after having existed for trillions of years, the man stumbles on a planet that has created a device that will completely erase an object from existence throughout all of time. He uses this device on himself, a device that can manipulate time's rules on continuity and paradoxes. The man is completely erased - just as he had erased so many people before - and the universe returns to how it would have been if he had never been turned into the awful machine that the corporation had made him. The chord at 11:48 is the moment this idea first started fleshing out in my mind. It's such a powerful chord, yet it's barely there. It isn't some aggressive breakthrough, its just a soft, beautiful dying of an emotional symphony. It's amazing how this song can spark imagination, especially in the mind of a 13 year old kid. Maybe one day I'll make a book out of this.
When I was hearing Redemption, I thought of a man drowning. As his thoughts went into the dreaming,a last resort of comfort before the inevitable. He spent these last moments bathing in the sun, dancing in the grass, feeling himself float away. He felt his sins dilute, his memories flow into the darkness. As the song went one, I imagined one person, a lover, a friend, a brother, a sister, swimming down to reach him, to save him. I couldn't avoid imagine him being saved. To be dragged back into the shore. Forced to understand that it was not yet his time. This loved one wouldn't let go. The man decided that, as his life was valued by at least one more person in this world, there was a reason to, perhaps continue. As the song ended, there was a thing. The man dancing around but not alone. The companion taking his hand, and from his smile, a little bubble escapes and goes up.
Overture was my favorite part. But after listening to this song more and more I like redemption more. Redemption kind of sounds like it's a Hero's last effort to stop the Menace from achieving his goal. Resulting in both of their deaths.
During the iheartradio concert for Simulation Theory they mentioned something about taking an orchestra on tour and someone in the crowd yelled out “EXOGENESIS” and Matt made a face that was either “crap they shouldn’t have figured it out this soon” or “ew why would we do that” and I’m really hoping it was the first one
What Muse can acheive musically, as a trio no less, rivals full on orchestras. They are as phenomenal live as they are on a laid down track. I've had the pleasure of seeing them three times, once as a teeneager at 89X's chill on the hill, i also seen them twice in the past 4 years or so. I highly recommend seeing them, as they are true artists, performers and great musicians who put on an eclectic concert visually, emotionally and musically. One of my all time favorite concerts as well as an all time favorite band.
Chef d'oeuvre absolu ♥️..du jamais vu du jamais entendu de la part d'un groupe de Rock... Matt,Cris et Dom sont des pur génies.. assurément le meilleur groupe de tout les temps ❤️❤️🇲🇫
Love this masterpiece the overture is so foreboding but so beautiful then there is Cross Pollination with absolutely awesome keyboard playing the intro almost brings me to tears and finally he ending almost Beethovenesk. One word PERFECTION.
I am not a religious man, but I feel I must go to the church and confess as a sin to the priest that I am 25 years old and I didn't even knew about the existence of this song.
I cannot get over how genius this piece of music is. If I didn't know Muse was technically a rock band I never would've that Uprising was in the same album. May Muse always ring our halls with beautiful and epic music.
They are quite simply three ex schoolmates…plus their multitalented back up guy…who have devoted their lives to producing music which is quite simply unique and always evolving. As I said in an earlier comment, I also feel that I can relate to them. They haven’t developed a grandiose pomposity like some bands. They’re still three…or four…guys turning out momentous, groundbreaking music but firmly connected to reality. The kind of guys you could have a great post covid night out with.
I wasn't a big fan of the album, but these three symphony tracks are amazing. Like this is one of the best things Muse's done in general. I also love the first 3 tracks off the album though. I guess it's only the middle section of the album that I don't really care for.
remembered listening to this in my car at my apartment's mutli-storey carpark at full volume, near midnight, waiting for the full song to end. bliss. other returning residents were probably puzzled why i remained in my car for so long.
Funny that one of their weakest albums would have what I consider to be their greatest piece. But I absolutely love this. Would love to see them do something like this again, perhaps even for a whole album.
Can you believe it has been 7 years since this album came out? I almost listened this song to death when I first got the CD. It was my last CD CD. But 7 years guys!!!
+NGC4622Spiral Jesus Christ. Muse helped me get through a very tough time in my life as a teenager, their down-to-earth straight-up passionate music basically helped me to believe in humanity again. I was at a very dark place (literally considering blowing up my school) and the shining light of Muse was probably one of the most important influences I had at the time...Matt Bellamy is VERY talented, and while I can sing, I know I'll never be as good as Matt Bellamy (without genetic modification that is haha)
+ghostsade3 That horrible! I can only imagine how it must have felt to truly almost give up on humanity and feel the hopelessness it must have created. I'm so glad Muse helped you through that time in your life, it shows how powerful music is. And honestly, you don't have to be as good as Matt Bellamy to be a great singer!
Thanks, it was a tough time. But I'm a better person for it. They say that people who have been through depression turn out to be the best people because they know how bad it can get. I didn't have depression as bad as some people, and anxiety for me was ultimately worse, but I was definitely at a very, very dark point in my life, considering suicide and wanting to take out as many ungrateful douche ignorant teenagers at my school with me. Hatred can fuel a person. Make them do things that they would literally never otherwise do. Muse doesn't pretend to care about what people think about their music. They just make amazing music that they are passionate about. And that sold me as a teenager. Just pure passion and a disregard for negativity. It may even have saved my own and others' lives. That is how powerful music is to the human soul. Another point, and I just realized this today, is that Muse may have actually contributed to my intellectual awakening. "MK Ultra" Made me google that phrase and I was quite astonished to discover what MK Ultra was. It helped me to question EVERYTHING, and to believe that the government isn't perfect and, in fact, can be outright evil and manipulative.
For months I was hooked on this piece. I couldn't go more than four hours without listening to it. Finally got past it, but it was so beautiful to my ears!
My sweet sweet god this is magnificent. A true master piece finale. I was enthralled. Completely astral throughout it's unraveling. So many delicate phrasings that are so well spoken.
+Matthew Delgado I started to tear up at Cross-Pollination "Tell us, tell us your final wish? We will tell it to the world" made me tear up a bit... such a burden one would have to never be able to return to humanity. But you can send a message to the whole world...And literally after not having heard this song for years, when Part 3 came on and I remembered it I started crying cause of how beautiful the last part really is...I had forgotten. So goddamned beautiful...definitely have tears streaming down my face lol. The genuine plea for redemption from evil ways is so powerfully moving to me...probably one of the most beautiful things a moral human can experience.
Been listening to lot of rap over the years and finally decided to listen to this sort of music again, first time hearing this and it is an absolute masterpiece
These three pieces move through every fiber of my being. Every cell and atom. Such an intelligent piece, a story even. No song or piece of music has made my soul dance the way these symphony's do ^_^
Una vez que escuchas esta obra y la comprendes, te das cuenta que es otro nivel musical, un nivel divino que pocos son capaces de alcanzar y el señor Matt lo superó con creces. Bravo.
Dan Reynolds |-/ And Imagine Dragons. Muse and Imagine dragons are excellent but... Twenty one pilots is the most overrated thing I know only after Minecraft
I want this played in remembrance of me. One of the most beautiful sings, if not the most beautiful I’ve ever heard. Reminiscent of Ave Maria, Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven), Lord of the Rings Soundtrack, etc… I
First time I heard these guys was watching the big day out on MTV at my in laws and they played the Knights of Cydonia song,loved it that much I went out and bought all their other albums and I've loved everything they've done since,the Exogenesis Symphony is mesmerising,everytime I listen to it I get goosebumps and I mean everytime ,(listened to it at least a hundred times,if not more),When I listen to it I close my eyes and it makes me feel like I'm standing on a cliff overlooking the ocean with a a strong cold wind blowing through my hair,absolutely epic,don't know how a three piece band puts out a sound like a ten piece band,seen them live like eight times,absolutely one of the top elite bands in the world in my opinion.
Muse can do everything... they can mix sounds unbelievably well, sometimes almost unreal. They vocally make all there pieces interesting and exciting, and they as a band make both fierce rock songs and beautifully done music.
Remember? .. so powerful.. so beautiful.. yes, Matthew Bellamy is a genius.. i love this symphony.. i do not like everything he does.. but he is among those i love, those who have impressed me the most.. he is a master..
Cuando encuentras el equilibrio entre lo sinfónico, melódico, la voz de Matt y los riffs de guitarra, simplemente te transportan a ese universo utópico. When you find the balance between symphonic, melodic, Matt's voice, and guitar riffs, you are simply transported to that utopian universe.
Moscow winter, tears instead of New Year celebration, destroyed hopes... And this music Bringing me back to life, helping to believe What are we without beautiful music?...........
+Lucas Moraes true, but when you play triplets at the piano with a slow beat it is really easy to "copy" Moonlight sonata ...it happened to me many times :)
![Muse - Citizen Erased (XX Anniversary RemiXX) [Official Audio]](/img/n.gif)
Overture is SO fucking epic, i can't get over it
Can you imagine how otherworldly would it be if it was used in the climax of a deeply emotional movie about life, death, space, God, time and the human nature? I'd cry like a fucking baby. I almost do listening to this heavenly piece of music by itself.
+Lelija45 but Part III is just taking you straight to cosmos, 11.00+

My final wish is to hear the whole Exogenesis live!
Sounds like a hard wish to become true but it would be great :)
I have, at Wembley, it was awesome. :)
Nu uh, they've never played Part 2, and they've played part 3 once in Japan.
its youtube to probably yes
They played part 1 many times in 2010
I'm a 58 year old Grandmother and I still listen to all Muse songs...they speak to my soul especially The Resistance
55, and same here.
I am 62, and I love so much the Muse.
@@irihangodi my son gave me a muse tshirt! lol!
My wife is a 72 year old great granny and she is listening all the time to the whole lot of them, especially we are fucking fucked,as we realise what is happening all over the world to everybody, especially the great culling that is starting and going going to remove millions of people.
A great album with lyrics that are more prevalent than ever…
There are only two proper ways listen to Muse: 1. With high quality headphones to experience everything as if you yourself are the music and 2. Blasting their music with your best speakers so the entire neighborhood can hear their genius whether they like it or not.
Bonus points if you've got surround sound, so that you're completely engulfed by the music.
I'll keep that in mind for the next music war my neighbor and I have. Gangster rap doesn't sound so good at higher volumes. Muse, Dimmu Borgir, Amon Amarth, some Metallica, and 80s thrash metal all thrive at high volume. I know what gets on his nerves though. The Bloodborne Soundtrack. I've heard him die literally hundreds of times to the Bloodstarved Beast. That cranked to max with a Bose system. Let the suffering commence.
I do the second part with open Windows and Balkon, everyone here should listen to this ( sry i'm German)
❤
Exactly what the neighbours are getting now 😂 i
True dude. I do have an alternative though. I'm old, and deaf. My hearing aids Bluetooth to the phone. The sound quality out of a £3500 hearing aid makes airbuds look like something Argos would sell for a tenner. The neighbours can't hear it though.

I hope you're doing alright now, bud! All the best.
Then you understood what the symphony represents. Probably steer clear of Stockholm Syndrome until you feel 100% stable. An amazing track to look back on the past with.
@@Lucas98M My life is a gift
'The Resistance' was the first MUSE album I heard, it seemed incredibly good to me until 'Exogenesis Symphony' came along and the first time I heard it I had no words to describe the feelings it produced in me.
It is a masterpiece of the incredible Matthew Bellamy, inspired by the progressive rock of the 70 'and the finest pieces of classic composers, it reminded me of Pink Floyd (another of my favorite bands) and their album' The Dark Side of the Moon', the constant experimentation with sounds, chords, and vowels, that juxtaposition between digital and analog elements, at the sonic level presents a deeply rooted complexity.
My interpretation of the symphony is panspermia. Humanity, reluctant to take for granted that the Earth is finished, is forced to flourish again elsewhere in the Cosmos. The physicist Carl Sagan used to say: "Nitrogen is in our DNA, calcium in our teeth, iron in our blood, we were made inside collapsing stars, we're made of star-stuff." In a way, we are a product of the celestial bodies. The word "exogenesis" means "originated from outside", and each piece is told in a linear way with different musical arrangements, but capable of connecting the story in an epic way.
The first part (Overture) embodies humanity's struggle against its own final destiny, a consequence of its own actions. "Caught in God's program. Who are we? Where are we? Why are we?" describes the natural questioning of human beings about questions that will never have a clear answer. In the end, when Bellamy sings: "I cannot forgive you, and I cannot forget", he may be referring to the "God's program" that could do nothing to prevent the jaded end of earthly civilization, or to the very human beings who seek passionately blaming their peers for those acts they commit themselves. "Overture" is a hymn to anxiety, exasperation and that feeling of not being able to go back in time and the acts that happen in it, in the end, humanity, without hope, questions the very reason for existing if the final end is already written.
The second part (Cross-Pollination) begins with a surprising piano arrangement, similar to the pieces by the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin and the Hungarian virtuoso Franz Liszt. "Cross-Pollination" is actually a natural process, this type of pollination is characterized by the transfer of pollen grains loaded with genetic material from a flowering plant (angiosperm) to another that is further away, unlike the auto-pollination (pollen transfer) in the same flowers of a single plant. For obvious reasons, cross-pollination has evolutionary advantages. The Encyclopedia Britannica argues: "Genetic variability within a cross-pollinating population may allow some individuals to adapt to their new situation, ensuring the survival of the species."
The incredible thing about this is that cross-pollination usually occurs thanks to a natural agent such as wind, and in this piece of the symphony, Bellamy sings: "Rise above the crowds, through the toxic clouds and break the outer sphere" and sentence in an epic crescendo that "it is up to you to spread our codes to the stars." That parallelism between a fully natural fact and the hope of humanity to perpetuate its species in the middle of an epic cataclysm, loaded with a sublime arrangement performed on the piano, almost brought me to tears the first time I heard it.
"Cross-Pollination" is the hope that humanity will find a space outside its "container" flower (Earth) in the farthest reaches of the universe. Unlike "Overture", this piece contrasts the feeling we have when something that we thought was totally lost, still has opportunities to be reborn; It is there when we engage in any battle in order to preserve it.
Finally, the piece with which I could not contain emotions arrives: "Redemption". The third part of the symphony represents humanity that has managed to escape its imminent end, with great difficulty and sacrificing everything it could have had. This piece begins with a timid progressive crescendo, unlike the previous part that symbolized a sense of setback and urgency. "Redemption" begins shyly because it represents all of us when we recover from a fall, we return to ourselves progressively but not in a hurry, also the product of our own psychological reaction to the fear of failing again, but previously we seized on the opportunity to survive, so now we have to look up again. After a majestic progression on the piano accompanied by the violin, Bellamy sings, "Let's start over again. Why can't we start over?" and it starts with a sweet but energetic melody. We have regained our vitality.
I believe that this final part represents humanity seeing a new horizon, those who went into space to look for a new home realize that everything is part of a great cycle, of the great phase to which everything is subjected, up to the existence itself. At this point, Bellamy sings: "Just let us start it over again, and we'll be good. This time we'll get it, get it right. It's the last chance to forgive ourselves" hinting that if we do not change, our destiny will be ruined again. The diminuendo at the end is the representation of humanity accepting its past mistakes, with a view to starting over without making the same mistakes.
Almost 13 minutes of pure magic, an ethereal sensation that cannot be expressed in words. When I finished 'The Resistance', one night when I was not feeling well, I could only feel a few tears falling. I am someone who enjoys art and music, it seems to be the most sublime expression of a human being; Since I was a little boy I have dreamed of the stars, I have observed them and I have asked myself the same questions that some people usually ask about existence, amid innocence and bright eyes. "Exogenesis Symphony" is managed to condense years and years of emotions into a single song.
A musical and literary masterpiece. Since then, MUSE is probably my favorite band.
Merci pour cette analyse fabuleusement approfondie. De grande qualité...
Thank you! I would love more comment like yours on youtube.. great interpretation
Same. And wow thanks for writing.
:)
I was just going to say the same thing lad 🤣
That was beautifully written bud 🙌
My 9 year old son cried when listening to redemption. He said it was so beautiful and sad. I'm sure he is an old soul from a different galaxy 💫
god bless your son
My 9 year old son just committed treason.
your son is just sensitive, be proud of him
@@mylifeinnotes4281 I most definitely am 💛
your son will definitely grow a great man!
Literally my favorite thing from Muse. Wish I could listen to it for the first time again.
+Stephanie Livingston Jesus! O.o ^^^^THIS. SO. much.. 👆👆👆👆👆👆👆
+Stephanie Livingston Let's start over again......
+Perposterown Why can't we start it over again...
+Stephanie Livingston thats like with all muse songs
+David Cruise i just cant describe how this song still gave me goosebumps just like first time i heard back on 2009
That bit in Part 3 when Bellamy sings ‘over again’ for the third time and switches from falsetto to full voice...goosebumps every time
Absolutely!
I cry always in that part
I was 7 mins through but I am obliged to skip to that part … 😑
❤❤❤
So shame that they don't play in this year😢😢😢😢
Yesterday was the first time i listened to this beautiful incredible unexpected piece.
So since yesterday, i listen to it, whenever i have a couple of minutes and i cry every time.
I dindt expect this to be so overwhelming. Didn't know about this piece of art from MUSE.
It hit my heart and soul.
And the third part hits my soul everytime, the beauty, the music, the lyrics.
Thank you MUSE.
I love you.
Same goes to me. First time heard in 2021. Didn’t know it was released in 2009. Pure masterpiece
I was listening to Redemption for the very first time while the sun was raising. It was an amazing experience.
I listened for the time to the songs one week after I broke up. You can imagine how this went.
This is what can be written when there are no rules. I hope this piece continues to inspire people like it has inspired me.
Ben ik helemaal met je eens.! Maar, de beste manier is ze alle drie achter mekaar te zetten.
Doctor: You have 12:52 minutes to live
Me:
Well judging by your profile pic you would have enough time to listen to this xD
Me: tries to cheat death by putting track on repeat
We play that with our school orchestra this year. HYPE !!!!
Nope. False. Life isn't this awsome. Get your facts straight.
When music makes the hairs on your arms stand on end, you know its good
+Martin Adshead I can't believe I actually had this happen to me when I was listening to part 2... I've literally never had that happen before... I think I tripped without drugs...
+AkumuKarasu dude you probably had a music induced spiritual awakening or experience
+AkumuKarasu i think i got this on half of the muse songs so far :D
Cyberschn1tzel I know what you mean! ;)
Gangster rap does that for me; to me this is some beautiful music, makes my heart feel whole
Nous sommes d'accord "Redemption" touche le tréfond de notre âme. C'est indéscriptible! C'est MUSE! ✨
Bien sûr qu'on est d'accord...de toute façon le morceau tout entier doit être la plus belle chose jamais Composée depuis que la musique existe 😛.. bon j'exagère peut être un peu, mais j'assume être un des plus grands fans de Muse de la planète..ce groupe est tellement au dessus de tout les autres ( et pourtant il y en a des bons) que ça devient indécent..Muse un jour,Muse toujours 😀🎸🎸
BTW - this could easily be the soundtrack for Interstellar.. it has all the twists and turns.. Matt is a pure genius!
I thought the exact same thing
"Spread our codes to the stars you must rescue us all,tell us your final wish we know you can never return" 06:15
Not only Matt. Credit goes to Chris and Dominic too :D
this IS pretty much a muscial version of Interstellar, as it talks about an apocaliptic future where earth has gone to sh*t, so they're sending humans to the moon so they can make it a living place.
I always get chills when the vocals come in around 1:42
My ex-gf showed me this musical piece. She died in 2013, I listen to it every year to remember her and her undying lack of faith in humanity to survive. She might be right. But music will skyrocket the human species to heights unheretoforeseen. This symphony is evidence of our universally human desire to strive and transcend our existence, to reach new pinnacles of culture, science, inventions, human achievements that solidify the grandeur we feel when we commune with the universe at large. The numinous shows itself in its purest form in this song, on par with classical music at its most refined.
Your ex gf had the greatest taste in music, I'm so sorry to hear such a great human leave the earth
My late husband, who died suddenly four and a half years ago, introduced me to Muse. We saw them live at the Emirates, which was a truly fantastic experience. At his funeral we entered to Explorers. It was so appropriate.
This kind of stuff renews my faith in the human race. It's not the MOST complicated orchestration or arrangement ever, but it's full of emotion, pays homage to so many forms, styles, and periods of music, and makes me feel good when I listen to it. I also love the juxtaposition of analogue and digital instruments. It's really sonic genius. If an alien race light years away hears this (assuming they process and perceive the vibration from mechanical pressure waves like we do), they will want to meet us.
Super
I fully agree. This makes me so emotional for some unknown reason
Wow that was one of the best things I've ever read about anything! Also you nailed it right on the head.. so full of emotion!
Bit pedantic
very well said.... spot on 👍
My favorite is Cross Pollination, is like desperate and I can imagine the humanity feeling the end. Also the part "Spread our codes to the stars, you must rescue us all, tell us, tell us your final wish, now we know you can never return..." is great, I got goosebumps every time and I love to sing that part, well, the whole Exogenesis :)
i get the same feeeling on the first part when he screams muaaaaaaaaahhhhh XD
When he screams "muaaaaaaahhh"? :B
+Enrique X MirrorJoe 2:57

Magali et Noa XD Les Leborgnes Day Vinyl What are you?
The whole symphony it's truly beautiful, but Cross-Pollinitation really makes me cry: The lyrics and arrange are so powerful to me; specially the verse "Tell us, tell us your final wish?
Now we know you can never return" … Hell… That's really gonna happen sometime.
Oh man that made me cry.
This is what sets Muse apart. They do stuff that no one else does, and do it so well that you just HAVE to notice. Muse is a true band, as they explore and create so many different types of music that have only one thing in common. They are incredible.
My favorite Muse song of all-time and easily in my all-time 5 top songs across all music genres. Matt Bellamy is one of the very few Mozarts of the modern times. I'm 100 % sure Wolfgang himself would approve if he heard this song.
It's a shame Muse doesn't do this kind of music anymore.
Imagine If They Combined Their New Electronic Sound With Classical Piano Pieces.
now they do it again
Definitely the best of muses work, there’s not a single thing better released in the past 20 years
Have you listen to their album, Drones?
#MattBellamy is a Genius.

Wonderful words and music.Really❤❤
"You have stolen my overture" we can really hear him say these words
Imagine clicking the save button after composing, playing, replaying, recording, fine-tuning. Should this bit be added or not. Is this couplet spot-on. The doubt. Everybody telling you it's enough. Still doubting to publish.... And then finding out you just made a masterpiece...
Thank you
Thanks for put here the lyrics
I love closing my eyes and listening to this
Also Redemption can be very calming if you're listening to it while it's sunny and slightly windy outside and just the right temperature. Especially if you hear leaves calmly blowing in the wind.
Ashley Wagner, a figure skater, skated to Redemption. She conveyed such beautiful emotion for the piece, it was absolutely outstanding for a visual to anything so perfect and sincere~
I just looked up that performance and I literally for the first time appreciated figure skating. She brought that song to life before my eyes. Thanks for sharing!
These music will remain forever...you will never be forgotten,dear Matthew..😍😍
It’s a privilege and blessing to be alive during MUSE
I've always considered this piece my favorite part of this record, but I must say Redemption is my absolute favorite of the three. Every second of it has meaning and purpose... the drums, the notes his voice can hit, the piano, the simple lyrics that jab you right in the heart. it's such a hopeful and positive piece... I wonder what was going on in his life when he wrote it.
This time we'll get it right...
Tried to have Redemption as the first dance at my wedding. My ex wife said no 🤣
@@iainleckenby5017 well, that might be one reason why the mariage didnt work...
@@hairohukosu433 honestly, last ever night together was in Birmingham for a muse gig.... couldn't make it up #lecklife
Of course. I think Redemption is everyone's favourite part. Part of the reason it's so poignant, though, is because of the first two parts. The context gives it power.
I am sure that we will.
When I was a kid, I used to listen to this and think through a story I made up in my head. It was about a guy who was snatched from his own time by a corporation far into the future and taken to that future to be essentially turned into a god using the future's technology. Of all the people ever born throughout history, he was the only one who had the physical, mental, and chemical composition that would allow the procedure to be successful.
With this procedure, and the technology that was implanted into him, he could control and change any matter he wished to on command. He could appear in any location at any point in time, he could reverse or speed up the flow of time around him, and he would live forever, with the incredible technology that had replaced so much of him during the procedure constantly renewing him and making it impossible for him to ever die or be destroyed. He was given a suit that acted as an extension of himself, whether he was inside it or not.
The goal of this corporation was to create a tool that truly had a human mind, something that they could teach to save the universe from problems that they saw threatening it. This proved extremely effective, as the technology he was endowed with gave him abilities that even a god would struggle to comprehend. This man could end wars, end lives, end galaxies with a single thought to simply separate the matter that whatever thing was causing the problem was made of. Eventually, the corporation had fulfilled their goal in solving the problems that they saw throughout history. At this point, after lifetimes of service, all the man wanted to do was return home to his own time and his own life. But this was something he could never do. Having made so many enemies during his service, plenty of word had spread around, and the man knew that returning home would allow any enemies that the corporation had been unable to identify to discover who he is and kill him before he was ever turned into this machine. Knowing this, the corporation implemented technology into the man that would prevent him from ever returning to his own home on Earth.
Being unable to return home, the man had one request: to die. He begged the corporation to kill him, knowing that he would spend the rest of eternity simply existing with no direction. The corporation was unable to do this, and it enraged the man. The corporation had informed him midway into his service that he would be unable to return home, but had promised him that they could end his life with the snap of a finger. As the man found out, this turned out to be a lie. His service has changed the man into an aggressive, impulsive weapon, and with one enraged thought he destroyed every person and facility that once was the corporation. He simply erased them, and he never once regretted the action nor tried to undo it.
With nothing left, and with no end, the man had nothing to do. he was broken and lost. He would spend thousands of years at a time aimlessly floating through space until he was caught in the orbit of a planet and discovered by humans that had colonized space over the course of their existence. This far into the future, legends of the man had spread everywhere, and inevitably those who discovered the man begged him to help solve their problems. His solution? Erase everything. Separate atoms, molecules, all kinds of matter of the people on the planet and everything they owned. He simply could not make himself fight the battles of anyone else after what the corporation had made him do. During his service, he thought he had been doing the right thing, but after learning the hard way that he had been used as a weapon, he would never allow anyone to use him as a weapon again. If they knew who he was, they could not be left intact.
Finally, after having existed for trillions of years, the man stumbles on a planet that has created a device that will completely erase an object from existence throughout all of time. He uses this device on himself, a device that can manipulate time's rules on continuity and paradoxes. The man is completely erased - just as he had erased so many people before - and the universe returns to how it would have been if he had never been turned into the awful machine that the corporation had made him.
The chord at 11:48 is the moment this idea first started fleshing out in my mind. It's such a powerful chord, yet it's barely there. It isn't some aggressive breakthrough, its just a soft, beautiful dying of an emotional symphony. It's amazing how this song can spark imagination, especially in the mind of a 13 year old kid. Maybe one day I'll make a book out of this.
Dude please write a fucking book or something.
Write a fucking book dude, PLEASE! How does this only have 18 likes?
Seriously write a book
I’ll illustrate it for you
Man youve gotta turn this into something its so poignant
Thank you Matt for working 15 years on this project. Shows that real musicians actually still like making music, and don't do it just for the money.
,
When I was hearing Redemption, I thought of a man drowning. As his thoughts went into the dreaming,a last resort of comfort before the inevitable. He spent these last moments bathing in the sun, dancing in the grass, feeling himself float away. He felt his sins dilute, his memories flow into the darkness. As the song went one, I imagined one person, a lover, a friend, a brother, a sister, swimming down to reach him, to save him.
I couldn't avoid imagine him being saved. To be dragged back into the shore. Forced to understand that it was not yet his time. This loved one wouldn't let go. The man decided that, as his life was valued by at least one more person in this world, there was a reason to, perhaps continue.
As the song ended, there was a thing. The man dancing around but not alone. The companion taking his hand, and from his smile, a little bubble escapes and goes up.
It’s good to know other people have these kinds of thoughts as well. This is amazingly well written
OMG. Your comment is so beautiful! Thanks
This isnt that far off the supposed meaning of Ministry of souls by Dream theater, which is of a similar length to this.
Redemption is my favorite part. It's a fucking master piece!
I can’t count how many times I’ve imagined my self singing this live
Why not singing it alive in reality, not in your mind?
Hahaha same bro
@@BloodyOrange1 Probably on stage, is what he means
@@Sammy-fk1su SCEMO
I get what you mean 🥹
Overture was my favorite part. But after listening to this song more and more I like redemption more. Redemption kind of sounds like it's a Hero's last effort to stop the Menace from achieving his goal. Resulting in both of their deaths.
+Malachi Master spot on!

Anders _ according to 1984 (which gave inspiration for this album) I think you are not too far
@@davidecardullo1779 Yeah, the only difference in his comment is that the Party didn't die, only the hero did.
one word: GENIUS !
"Tell us, tell us your final wish"
For this to be played live in concert *in full*, with an orchestra and everything.
ThinWhiteAxe yes they should do when they tour for Simulation Theory or when they do requests from the fans
During the iheartradio concert for Simulation Theory they mentioned something about taking an orchestra on tour and someone in the crowd yelled out “EXOGENESIS” and Matt made a face that was either “crap they shouldn’t have figured it out this soon” or “ew why would we do that” and I’m really hoping it was the first one
Andrew Clark same!
Couldn't agree more!
Listening to this again in 2020
Forgot how beautiful this was 😢
sounds like interstellar and a lot lol
True....
What Muse can acheive musically, as a trio no less, rivals full on orchestras. They are as phenomenal live as they are on a laid down track. I've had the pleasure of seeing them three times, once as a teeneager at 89X's chill on the hill, i also seen them twice in the past 4 years or so. I highly recommend seeing them, as they are true artists, performers and great musicians who put on an eclectic concert visually, emotionally and musically. One of my all time favorite concerts as well as an all time favorite band.

this brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. so beautiful, words are not enough...
If there's ever a point when my life flashes before my eyes, I want this entire piece to be playing in the background.

Love this masterpiece the overture is so foreboding but so beautiful then there is Cross Pollination with absolutely awesome keyboard playing the intro almost brings me to tears and finally he ending almost Beethovenesk. One word PERFECTION.
Son of a bitch... 43yo dude and still cannot listen to redemption without starting to tear up.
Full empathy and understanding here.
This is the musical definition of a genius at work
I am not a religious man, but I feel I must go to the church and confess as a sin to the priest that I am 25 years old and I didn't even knew about the existence of this song.

Redemption... Reminds me to my late wife... Its been 3years she passed away...she left us...
I cannot get over how genius this piece of music is. If I didn't know Muse was technically a rock band I never would've that Uprising was in the same album. May Muse always ring our halls with beautiful and epic music.
They are quite simply three ex schoolmates…plus their multitalented back up guy…who have devoted their lives to producing music which is quite simply unique and always evolving. As I said in an earlier comment, I also feel that I can relate to them. They haven’t developed a grandiose pomposity like some bands. They’re still three…or four…guys turning out momentous, groundbreaking music but firmly connected to reality. The kind of guys you could have a great post covid night out with.
Merci pour votre commentaire.👍

Same
+silverwolf 450 did you watch the video pendulum with this song?

ALEK SMITH hope you are doing well... Love and light from louisiana 💙💙💙
Stacy Stroker matt belamy is a god also😪
I wasn't a big fan of the album, but these three symphony tracks are amazing. Like this is one of the best things Muse's done in general. I also love the first 3 tracks off the album though. I guess it's only the middle section of the album that I don't really care for.
Tiberius77 mk ultra is really good
Redemption breaks me every time. Every damn time. The piano sets the goosebumps and when the strings come in, I lose it. 😢
remembered listening to this in my car at my apartment's mutli-storey carpark at full volume, near midnight, waiting for the full song to end. bliss. other returning residents were probably puzzled why i remained in my car for so long.
Funny that one of their weakest albums would have what I consider to be their greatest piece. But I absolutely love this. Would love to see them do something like this again, perhaps even for a whole album.
I agree, I would absolutely love to see Muse do an whole entire album just using an orchestra, piano and some guitar/
I one hundred percent agree with all of your comment.
Uprising, Unnatural Selection, MK Ultra..... The Resistance is a good album.
Felix Abk "Weakest album" doesn't mean "Bad album." It's just not one of their best overall.
Kaye Faye weakest album...?? beauty is in the eye of the Beholder ...they're all MUSE so they're all good
Can you believe it has been 7 years since this album came out? I almost listened this song to death when I first got the CD. It was my last CD CD. But 7 years guys!!!
+NGC4622Spiral Jesus Christ. Muse helped me get through a very tough time in my life as a teenager, their down-to-earth straight-up passionate music basically helped me to believe in humanity again. I was at a very dark place (literally considering blowing up my school) and the shining light of Muse was probably one of the most important influences I had at the time...Matt Bellamy is VERY talented, and while I can sing, I know I'll never be as good as Matt Bellamy (without genetic modification that is haha)
+ghostsade3 That horrible! I can only imagine how it must have felt to truly almost give up on humanity and feel the hopelessness it must have created. I'm so glad Muse helped you through that time in your life, it shows how powerful music is. And honestly, you don't have to be as good as Matt Bellamy to be a great singer!
Thanks, it was a tough time. But I'm a better person for it. They say that people who have been through depression turn out to be the best people because they know how bad it can get. I didn't have depression as bad as some people, and anxiety for me was ultimately worse, but I was definitely at a very, very dark point in my life, considering suicide and wanting to take out as many ungrateful douche ignorant teenagers at my school with me. Hatred can fuel a person. Make them do things that they would literally never otherwise do.
Muse doesn't pretend to care about what people think about their music. They just make amazing music that they are passionate about. And that sold me as a teenager. Just pure passion and a disregard for negativity. It may even have saved my own and others' lives. That is how powerful music is to the human soul.
Another point, and I just realized this today, is that Muse may have actually contributed to my intellectual awakening. "MK Ultra" Made me google that phrase and I was quite astonished to discover what MK Ultra was. It helped me to question EVERYTHING, and to believe that the government isn't perfect and, in fact, can be outright evil and manipulative.
Writing this in 2019. It’s 10 years now!
12 years, how time flies!
An absolute masterpiece, goosepumps all over my body through it all, Thank you God for muse.
Indeed bro ❤️
Amen
This whole song reminds me of that movie AI: Artificial Intelligence. That movie also makes me cry. Such a good song.
This is a symphony, not a song.
@@whatever2045 to be honest it's not even a symphony, apart from the first section perhaps. It's a string quartet with a rock band

One of the finest pieces of music I'll ever have the privilege of listening to. Thank you Muse.
The best music of all time.
For months I was hooked on this piece. I couldn't go more than four hours without listening to it. Finally got past it, but it was so beautiful to my ears!
Wow, Muse so special and very good. This is a synphony with full of love
My sweet sweet god this is magnificent. A true master piece finale. I was enthralled. Completely astral throughout it's unraveling. So many delicate phrasings that are so well spoken.
who else has cried listening to this?
+Matthew Delgado *raises hand* 11:20 was where it happened...
+Matthew Delgado I started to tear up at Cross-Pollination "Tell us, tell us your final wish? We will tell it to the world" made me tear up a bit... such a burden one would have to never be able to return to humanity. But you can send a message to the whole world...And literally after not having heard this song for years, when Part 3 came on and I remembered it I started crying cause of how beautiful the last part really is...I had forgotten. So goddamned beautiful...definitely have tears streaming down my face lol. The genuine plea for redemption from evil ways is so powerfully moving to me...probably one of the most beautiful things a moral human can experience.
+Matthew Delgado only a little
I get chills at the first "Spread", then "Tell us" is even bigger, and then I start to cry at "Get it riiiiight"
Lol, you think your judgment matters to us. Cute.
This piece showcases the full range, skill and genius of Muse
Cerrar los ojos y sentir que haces un viaje por el universo ❤ eso es lo que siento cada que la escucho.
Been listening to lot of rap over the years and finally decided to listen to this sort of music again, first time hearing this and it is an absolute masterpiece
This is more than beautiful
These three pieces move through every fiber of my being. Every cell and atom. Such an intelligent piece, a story even. No song or piece of music has made my soul dance the way these symphony's do ^_^
I think it's a higher positive vibration, Muse always makes me feel alive, not like some other types of music that simply encourage anger and violence
Una vez que escuchas esta obra y la comprendes, te das cuenta que es otro nivel musical, un nivel divino que pocos son capaces de alcanzar y el señor Matt lo superó con creces. Bravo.
That's my preferred instrumental sound of muse.
You're french, isn't it ?
Yes, I listen to classical music :)
And TØP |-/ 😂😂
Dan Reynolds |-/ And Imagine Dragons. Muse and Imagine dragons are excellent but... Twenty one pilots is the most overrated thing I know only after Minecraft
Wish I could go back to 2009 when the album came out. Happiest moments in my life
Thanks Muse for teaching me what is great music during my childhood
I want this played in remembrance of me. One of the most beautiful sings, if not the most beautiful I’ve ever heard. Reminiscent of Ave Maria, Moonlight Sonata (Beethoven), Lord of the Rings Soundtrack, etc… I
I've said for a while I want Redemption at my funeral.
This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard.
This is one of those few song that really shakes you up when you listen to it.
First time I heard these guys was watching the big day out on MTV at my in laws and they played the Knights of Cydonia song,loved it that much I went out and bought all their other albums and I've loved everything they've done since,the Exogenesis Symphony is mesmerising,everytime I listen to it I get goosebumps and I mean everytime ,(listened to it at least a hundred times,if not more),When I listen to it I close my eyes and it makes me feel like I'm standing on a cliff overlooking the ocean with a a strong cold wind blowing through my hair,absolutely epic,don't know how a three piece band puts out a sound like a ten piece band,seen them live like eight times,absolutely one of the top elite bands in the world in my opinion.
32 people don't have an ounce of taste for GREAT music in their souls
It's mesmerising
Muse can do everything... they can mix sounds unbelievably well, sometimes almost unreal. They vocally make all there pieces interesting and exciting, and they as a band make both fierce rock songs and beautifully done music.
Remember? .. so powerful.. so beautiful.. yes, Matthew Bellamy is a genius.. i love this symphony.. i do not like everything he does.. but he is among those i love, those who have impressed me the most.. he is a master..
Cuando encuentras el equilibrio entre lo sinfónico, melódico, la voz de Matt y los riffs de guitarra, simplemente te transportan a ese universo utópico.
When you find the balance between symphonic, melodic, Matt's voice, and guitar riffs, you are simply transported to that utopian universe.
Brilliant, genius music - a journey through the layers of existence, now that's what I call a proper trip
Moscow winter, tears instead of New Year celebration, destroyed hopes...
And this music
Bringing me back to life, helping to believe
What are we without beautiful music?...........
masterpiece :)
The third part sounds like a Moonlight Sonata of Beethoven
+Lucas Moraes true, but when you play triplets at the piano with a slow beat it is really easy to "copy" Moonlight sonata ...it happened to me many times :)
Alucard Alright! Is just good see which matt has a good inspiration
Sorry for my poor english, i'm from Brasil
+Lucas Moraes No problem I'm italian and I live in Brazil so I'm not good in english too :)
+Lucas Moraes it does, but I think Matt was more influenced by the 2nd Movement of Rachmaninoffs 2nd Piano Concerto
+Alucard either, not too. not being a bitch
Part 3 helps me cool down and forget about life.
part 3 set as alarm wake up,never felt so good being woken by an alarm,try it will set your day up so fucking well,
Steve Crimble I've tried and yes it did work.
Music does set the mood
