Masterpiece is a term a bit too generous for this song. Sure it's not the kind of song I would listen to more than two or three times unless I'm playing the whole album. Exogenesis were too ambitious for their content and quality. They reflect perfectly Bellamy's worst side, his vanity and pursue of epic, even when he doesn't have the ingredients to make it right. No, three songs weren't necessary.
Muse will be always Muse. Because Muse won´t be never a band of 100 albums that sounds the same. Muse will be always a band with 100 albums that sound different but where everyone sound like MUSE.
@@LeviBulger I have heard radiohead and I can only find some similarities on the first album of Muse. I have never shared this opinion, and I like both. And if you think muse sounds the same in literally every song, I think you once again are wrong. But well, at least both of us can enjoy them in different ways, that´s the beauty behind the music, like any art, and is that everyone enjoy it in different and personal levels, :)
A Muse album is basically as if Matt himself walked up to you, handed you a genre of music you've never heard or heard little of then left simply saying "you're welcome".
His voice is magic. Anytime I am stressed or down and I hear his voice, I become more calm. I am so grateful that the world has him and his musical crew.

I really love this song, it was used in 'The Planets' series as a theme and as I have always loved Prof. Brian Cox and all his projects, it just reminds me whenever I play it of my love of all things Astronomical, however, I saw a live version and I have to say it blew my mind. It was amazing!!!
Yeah Also saw that series by BBC. It was an awesome one and I learned so much new stuff and I also came to know that so much stuff about space thought to use was completely wrong and yes this song remind me all of that
I am tearing up. :') Dear Muse, keep producing music. I have listened to all your album and never be dissapointed. I love you since 2007 and will always do. And Matthew, you are my inspiration for me in playing music until now. Please, come again to Jakarta. :') I am waiting :')
Indeed! I got home from a late night at the office and before i drifted off I thought, I wonder if anyone uploaded the new muse album to youtube yet? Saw this and other songs and suddenly I was awake. Didnt mind getting very little sleep last night! Amazing album.
So many people are giving out about the video for this song but I actually think I prefer it like this. I think it allows you to really appreciate the music.
the best space/apocalyptic sci fi song Ive ever heard. We are living in a rock that is in a blank space of dust. It is hard to believe, almost unreal, yet it is where we are and didn't choose to be. This song encapsulates that.
This is more absolution era with inferior drums. Seriously, what the fuck happened to Dom's drumming. He is responsible for some of my favourite drum parts of all time.
I was born in the 60's, and by the end of the 90's i thoght that music has died and i will have to listen only to the old good stuff from the 80's and the 70's but then came Muse.
Part of me says it's a synth bass, but knowing Chris, I wouldn't be surprised if he used some crazy ass pedal combinations to get the right amount of wubwub.

@@marioprifti6161 It's a Didgeridoo , not a bass nor digitalized sound.
@@marioprifti6161 yeah. it may symbolize the exhalation of the people. the sound of someone's breath after feeling tired. The didgeridoo sounds like various voices exhaling in a very low key, like they are very angry. Perfectly fits the song. And of course it sounds something digital, which fits it even more. Muse uses a lot of semiotics in the elements they use in their songs. That's why I will never understand how can someone say they are shit. Even in the most "basic" songs they do this. Like Thought Contagion, with a chorus that gets stuck in your head. Something made to be chanted in a stadium, by a lots of people. Like contaminating their heads and their thoughts at their will. Or Something Human, with the church organ in the chorus, symbolizing religion, which is actually something very human-made. Brilliant. And so on, and so on. Pressure, with the brass instruments, which are instruments in which you have to apply pressure to play; precisely what they want to say to their fans in that song: the pressure to play old muse-ish songs. Propaganda: the dis-humanized voice singing pro-pro-propaganda, like a machine gun, symbolizing the effect propaganda (marketing, especially in politics) have in our lives. Like machine guns, killing us with loads of confused messages (fake news, and so on). It's not just the songs that one must learn to appreciate in Muse's discography; it's the meaning that those songs represent. It's like looking behind the mirror and realizing that there's something else to be said.
@ Very well thought out comment. Now, as to whether muse intentionally used things such as brass to represent pressure, is up to debate. However, I wouldn't put it past them to throw odd double meanings into things. Now, if that IS didgeridoo, which I'm inclined to believe, that's awesome. I still feel like Chris or Morgan will have to play that part live. Either on bass or synths. Then again, they said they'd have extra musicians for some of the tracks, and dancers and whatnot. Should be an amazing tour from an amazing band. They're going back to large arena sets, so there should be a ton of songs from all eras.

I must admit, I complained a bit after the first couple of singles, then came "The Dark Side" and I loved it but this one literally blew me away - what an absolute masterpiece... It's so all-encompassing, so deep, like a supermassive black hole (except it doesn't spew antimatter ;))) but sucks you in completely. What a sound!

@@withmejimbo8262 A lot of their songs are powerful. The Globalist, Take a Bow, Knights of Cydonia, New Born, etc. The list goes on bro. The dystopian themes and controversial and conspiracy oriented topics of their music hit your heart if you know what they're trying to convey.
@@withmejimbo8262 there all concept albums or loosley based concept albums. so it makes sense like the intro and epilogue of a story.ive always loved the concept album prolly why The resistance is my fav its basically a soundtrack to 1984. and ive always thoguht the music sounds like what theyd be listening to in Oceania lol. idk i guess the first few arnet concept im not sure.
Simple? This song is EPIC! How can you get more dramatic than aliens laughing at our underestimation of their superior powers as they plan to overcome us?
Sad people are so caught up in fantasies and "simulation theories" over seeing the very real reality of this song, and in general, many Muse songs, that relate to our consciousness and capability as human beings to create, forge and steer our own destinies without higher powers; whether fantastical such as religious, political, scientific, intellectual, psuedo and new-age nonsense, social and societal practices, and so on and so forth. You are the coder (consciousness) and avatar (body) of your own destiny. Take a leap of faith (certainty and trust in self) and steer your life to greatness. You are in control. Don't let anyone or anything else tell you otherwise, and if anything else does, then it is a lie.
Beautiful comment. Thank you 💚 Muse has helped me so much in my spiritual awakening. At first I just thought it was funny all the conspiracy theories in their songs, but them I started to "dig down" and find more and more about our reality. This journey's been amazing
"It takes a leap of Faith to awake from these delusions. You are the coder, and Avatar. A star." A very powerful line... Especially for those who just want to be happy with what they have, it sparks up a lot of controversial ideas. Do you really need computers to run a simulation? You don't have to be in the Matrix to be in a simulation. All you need is a complicated and intertwined set of laws that pull people away from themselves and into this world, ruled by delusions and overlooked problems. Where if you aren't following standards you aren't considered a default person and cast aside for not going with their agenda. Even though all you want is peace of mind and a healthy body, for yourself and others, you *MUST* fall into their definition of normality... If you try to be the master of your own life and destiny, you'll be brought down swiftly. Ditch your morals and your dreams, you're now part of the machine. edit: 3 years later, here we are... Waiting for the new update to roll in... No one wants war...
Just heard this on an episode of Another Life. I love this song, the powerful sounds and words. Muse have captured the lost sound of the 80's ballard and transported into the future!
All of them, plus Escape, Megalomania, Ruled by Secrecy, Hoodoo, City of Delusion, Unnatural Selection, Exogenesis, Explorers, Chris's songs, The Globalist, Blockades... so many underrated deep cuts from eight great albums.
I have always love muse for their classical influenced, heavy and crazy symphonic music. Simulation theory just completely blew my mind. I'm so glad that Matt brings back all the classical influenced rachmaninoff piano into simulation theory, but presenting them in a very futuristic, retro sounding and with crazy 80s synth, which are very very different from what they have done. Go muse! Keep experimenting and This album is a masterpiece!
I was honestly really hoping there was going to be a song on the WOTP album that I resonated with as much as I did with the “The Void". Don’t get me wrong I like the new album but I was definitely left wanting something more. The way this song closed out ST had me sitting in silence before I took a deep breath and said ”Wow”.
Fully agree there. Their newest album was good, gave it a listen but it definitely didn't compare to the way ST flows, and the flawless way this song closes it off.
The WILL OF THE PEOPLE album was written during covid and the lockdowns,riots and tons of political unrest. Matt said Dom and Chris really like to rock, so this album was designed to do something they don’t normally do [like when is MUSE ever normal anyway ]. So this designed to be MUSE rock. Won best rock award from MTV Europe, Grammy nomination for for Kill or Be Killed, MTV America nomination for Won’t Stand Down, number 1 on the Billboard chart when it came out ,sooooo not too shabby for all the charts and the like. BUT the fans are another thing, millions of views on every song. I guess all this is to say, if you want a band that will keep doing the same thing, MUSE are def not going to do that. Their next album will be different too. These guys are artists in the truest sense of the word, and they will keep creating new musical adventures for all of us Musers. I am so glad they do!
I finally finished listening through the album and this is EASILY one of my fav songs off it. I love both it AND the alternative version. Muse really shines when it gets philosophical, whether in a rock song or a somber neo-classical style.
The best song on this track , the emotion was perfect , it feels like a story is being told about angels and the unknown and how they are invisible and unreachable how they are in the void of space . Great job guys
I first heard this while watching NOVA, The Planets: Mars and I was just astounded by this songs utter beauty... The way it sounded and made me feel, it's just so mysteriously alluring.. It makes me feel as if its enchanting me with its magical melody...
The bass in the final stanza makes my hair stand on end. The quintessential Muse sound heard on Hysteria, Madness, Plug in baby, used to underscore the message - be ridiculous. Be weird. Don’t give in. You’re not alone, so keep fighting. It’s sonic equivalent of cauterising a wound
Another life is an unintended comedy. Despite the awkward editing of the series, robotic line reading, and sad attempts at scientific jargon, the moment muse started playing I took everything seriously... For just that moment. One might say muse stepped through a microwormhole to drop off a message of peace before leaving us alone and wanting.
Went to MUSE concert last week, it's the second time in my life after 12 years. I feel myself becoming crazy for their songs again like 14 years ago when I was a new MUSE fan. I have listened to every album they released, but at certain point I had a feeling that I will never be so into their songs like ever before. Well, I was wrong. Actually I can't have enough MUSE now. I have been a fan for so many things, nothing last as long as MUSE for me.
When you listen this Song when thinking about "Interstellar" movie....There's a greater meaning to the song and the movie as Muse makes the point that they are wrong because we are not alone.
That series is really interesting. I never knew what the surface of Mercury & Venus was like. I never knew Mars was once an ocean planet. I never knew Saturn's rings were once a moon.
I am really upset. This song destroys me emotionally. Something i can't explain makes me cry almost everytime i listen to it. First time a song makes me feel that way! What did you do to me, dudes? I love it so Much though.
I cry to at least 20 Muse songs; they reduce me to my most basis essence, of existential crisis and provide hope of the beyond. Somehow I feel like God when I listen to certain songs, in that truly we are all God, we are all everything, yet we are also nothing. I never know what song does it, though Exogenesis, Dead Inside, Dead Star, Algorithm do every time. My comment will either help or confuse you. 🤣😘
I consider 'The 2nd Law' a masterpiece, and it has a song called 'Explorers'. That song is really important to me, that song made me cry and i had a whole night listening to it and analysing its lyrics, just to come to the conclusion that this song is a well-crafted metaphor of loosing every kind of hope you could ever have. And this time MUSE did it again. They made me cry with 'The Void', a song that made EVERYONE that i know have goosebumps (and one person i know cried to it). Why? Why that song is so emotional? I have made my theory about. They had awesome closers in every album, and making retrospective we had a whole trilogy of 12 minutes to create an end in 'The Resistance', that holy trinity is called 'Exogenesis Symphony' and talks about a new Genesis, a savior that continues with our evolutive line in another world. That's the reason it is called 'Exogenesis Symphony'. Listening to The Void's lyrics i started to think that it works as a secuel, a bad ending to that failed try of new born life. The first paragraph is pretty weird. Is our savior alone or is he having a companionship? Well, there are two possible answers: Maybe he is talking alone, in space, with his own mind, trying to keep sanity and avoid madness; or maybe he IS in fact with company, let's all remember that he was going to bring humanity to another world, and he would definitely need a female to reproduce. After all it is pretty irrelevant. Now the song start screaming "They're wrong", what does that means? Who were wrong? And wrong about what? Let me skip the paragraph, I'll explain it later. "They say the sun is dying", what a beautiful way to say that we are all dying. Without sun there is no humanity. "And the fragile can't be saved. And the cold, it will devour us. And we won't rise up and slay giants." Humanity is getting weak, the cold that came because of the skinny sun is making us die, and all hope deposited in us going foward in the universe is getting smaller. When Matt says "They're wrong" i think it means that, in pure despair, humans tried to force our arrival on another planet, even if it was absurdity from the beginnig. They were wrong indeed, humanity lost all their chances. "They'll say no one will find us, that we're estranged and all alone. They believe nothing can reach us, and pull us out of the boundless gloom." Yes, they will say that. They are smart, they know what was coming for them. Just nothing more than death. And, as an end, i want to say some things: -My english is not the best and you probably noticed that while reading this post, so i would appreciate grammar corrections and criticism a lot. -This theory may have a little of overthinking, so i am REALLY interested in reading your own interpretations on this song. -¡Simulation Theory es una puta maravilla! Esta canción me llevó a las lágrimas y no puedo escucharla sin ponerme sentimental. Consiguieron lo mismo que lograron mí esa noche en la que escuché 'Explorers' en profundidad.
I've understood it as basically the most optimistic song Muse has written. The verses are about how humanity is all alone in this universe on this planet, doomed to fail and die under the collapsing sun with nobody able to change it. But no matter how pessimistic, they are simply "wrong", it is not inevitable and humanity has the power to change its destiny if we don't accept that we're doomed. > "They say the sun is dying" On a cosmic scale though, every star is dying from the moment it formed. There is simply a finite amount of fuel to fuse with and once that runs out, the sun explodes (either into a gigantic red dwarf swallowing most of the solar system) or in the case of other heavier stars into a (super)nova killing everything in a radius of multiple light years. It's a undeniable fact and something that has been known will happen in a couple of billion years for a while.
Muse is one of today's most underrated rock bands! This song is amazing, like all of their others that I've heard, perfect choice for "The Planets" series!

@@Nerokennedy99 Yup still havent got to that one ~ Acoustic version actually made me like Something Human which I didn't before.
I must admit, I complained a bit after the first couple of singles, then came "The Dark Side" and I loved it but this one literally blew me away - what an absolute masterpiece... It's so all-encompassing, so deep, like a supermassive black hole (except it doesn't spew antimatter ;))) but sucks you in completely. What a sound!
this fills me with a sense of sadness and fear, for some reason. it's one of the most beautiful songs to ever exist.
They'll say, no one can see us
That we're estranged and all alone
They believe nothing can reach us
And pull us out of the boundless gloom
They're wrong
They're wrong
They're wrong
Yeah, baby, they're wrong
They're wrong
They're wrong
They'll say the sun is dying
And the fragile can't be saved
And the cold, it will devour us
And we won't rise up and slay giants
They're wrong
They're wrong
They're wrong
Yeah, baby, they're wrong
They're wrong
They're wrong
It takes a leap of faith
To awake from these delusions
You are the coder and avatar
A star
They'll say, no one will find us
That we're estranged and all alone
They believe nothing can reach us
And pull us out of the boundless gloom
They're wrong
They're wrong
They're wrong
Baby, they're wrong
They're wrong
They're wrong

The Void (Acoustic Version) is masterpiece. Can't stop listening it.
I can't stop crying to it.
@@valinypse it hits me right in the feels.
Very good song but I can't stand the point between "they're wrong" and "It takes a leap of Faith".
i love piano pieces
4:01 "They're wrong"
*deep dig down kicks in*
More like Unsustainable
This song made Another Life so worth it. When that synth bass carries his voice... Chills. Blended with the scene perfectly.
Yep, and then that Stranger Things vibe
1999 : Showbiz > Hate This and I'll Love You
2001 : Origin of Symmetry > Megalomania (+ Futurism)
2003 : Absolution > Ruled by Secrecy (+ Fury)
2006 : Black Holes and Revelations > Knights of Cydonia (+ Glorious)
2009 : The Resistance > Exogenesis : Symphony (Parts 1 + 2 + 3)
2012 : The 2nd Law > Unsustainable + Isolated System
2015 : Drones > The Globalist + Drones
2018 : Simulation Theory > The Void
Muse always end their albums in a very theatrical way, I love it (same thing could be said about their openers). Interesting to see that this one is the simplest closer since Absolution.
For my money, this is their most powerful song to date. I've always loved their defiant edge, right from Showbiz
Sooo true
@@withmejimbo8262 A lot of their songs are powerful. The Globalist, Take a Bow, Knights of Cydonia, New Born, etc. The list goes on bro. The dystopian themes and controversial and conspiracy oriented topics of their music hit your heart if you know what they're trying to convey.
@@withmejimbo8262 there all concept albums or loosley based concept albums. so it makes sense like the intro and epilogue of a story.ive always loved the concept album prolly why The resistance is my fav its basically a soundtrack to 1984. and ive always thoguht the music sounds like what theyd be listening to in Oceania lol. idk i guess the first few arnet concept im not sure.
Simple? This song is EPIC! How can you get more dramatic than aliens laughing at our underestimation of their superior powers as they plan to overcome us?
Sad people are so caught up in fantasies and "simulation theories" over seeing the very real reality of this song, and in general, many Muse songs, that relate to our consciousness and capability as human beings to create, forge and steer our own destinies without higher powers; whether fantastical such as religious, political, scientific, intellectual, psuedo and new-age nonsense, social and societal practices, and so on and so forth.
You are the coder (consciousness) and avatar (body) of your own destiny.
Take a leap of faith (certainty and trust in self) and steer your life to greatness.
You are in control. Don't let anyone or anything else tell you otherwise, and if anything else does, then it is a lie.
Jedi Reach You're wrong. They are telling you the truth... :'''') All their music relate to the same thing !
Lighten up Francis......
@DeiLux77 I agree with you.
Beautiful comment. Thank you 💚 Muse has helped me so much in my spiritual awakening. At first I just thought it was funny all the conspiracy theories in their songs, but them I started to "dig down" and find more and more about our reality. This journey's been amazing
Wow,that’s cool to think about
"It takes a leap of Faith to awake from these delusions.
You are the coder, and Avatar. A star."
A very powerful line... Especially for those who just want to be happy with what they have, it sparks up a lot of controversial ideas.
Do you really need computers to run a simulation?
You don't have to be in the Matrix to be in a simulation. All you need is a complicated and intertwined set of laws that pull people away from themselves and into this world, ruled by delusions and overlooked problems. Where if you aren't following standards you aren't considered a default person and cast aside for not going with their agenda.
Even though all you want is peace of mind and a healthy body, for yourself and others, you *MUST* fall into their definition of normality...
If you try to be the master of your own life and destiny, you'll be brought down swiftly.
Ditch your morals and your dreams, you're now part of the machine.
edit: 3 years later, here we are... Waiting for the new update to roll in... No one wants war...
No One Wants War , But Everyone NEEDS A Revolution
My favorite line!
I feel like a proud mother
alex alex RIGHT!!
It's a lullaby.
Ive really been missing this style of Muse....so dark and orchestral...yet so deeply moving
It is extraordinary how Muse can keep such a tension throughout a song as silent and slow as this
Just heard this on an episode of Another Life. I love this song, the powerful sounds and words. Muse have captured the lost sound of the 80's ballard and transported into the future!
Yes it was the perfect song for the end of the last episode of season 1
This is one of those "trademark great Muse songs that are not hits". You know the drill, Citizen Erased, Sing For Absolution, Map of the Problematic
All of them, plus Escape, Megalomania, Ruled by Secrecy, Hoodoo, City of Delusion, Unnatural Selection, Exogenesis, Explorers, Chris's songs, The Globalist, Blockades... so many underrated deep cuts from eight great albums.
What about Micro Cuts?
BaboonTube a lot of us fans only know starlight :/
MOTP was quite big, even WatchMojo put it on their list
I would include Animals to all of those...
I have always love muse for their classical influenced, heavy and crazy symphonic music. Simulation theory just completely blew my mind. I'm so glad that Matt brings back all the classical influenced rachmaninoff piano into simulation theory, but presenting them in a very futuristic, retro sounding and with crazy 80s synth, which are very very different from what they have done. Go muse! Keep experimenting and This album is a masterpiece!
Perfect song for the intro to The Planets
That bass at the end! Muse remains the only music I can actually feel
2:35 onward segment that resolves with the snare at 3:05 is the greatest musical decision ever!
The way Matt sings 'they're wrong' gives me chills
"Nova" (PBS series) used this song in the intro to 2019's episode of "The Planets: Mars" ... wow!
It's the bbc's show the planets, presented by professor Brian Cox originally.
The voice of Matt is pure melody ... ♥
WOW, the WHOLE ALBUM is just SOOOO GOOOD!!!
It’s a poem. A real masterpiece!
I was honestly really hoping there was going to be a song on the WOTP album that I resonated with as much as I did with the “The Void". Don’t get me wrong I like the new album but I was definitely left wanting something more. The way this song closed out ST had me sitting in silence before I took a deep breath and said ”Wow”.
Fully agree there. Their newest album was good, gave it a listen but it definitely didn't compare to the way ST flows, and the flawless way this song closes it off.
The WILL OF THE PEOPLE album was written during covid and the lockdowns,riots and tons of political unrest. Matt said Dom and Chris really like to rock, so this album was designed to do something they don’t normally do [like when is MUSE ever normal anyway ]. So this designed to be MUSE rock. Won best rock award from MTV Europe, Grammy nomination for for Kill or Be Killed, MTV America nomination for Won’t Stand Down, number 1 on the Billboard chart when it came out ,sooooo not too shabby for all the charts and the like. BUT the fans are another thing, millions of views on every song. I guess all this is to say, if you want a band that will keep doing the same thing, MUSE are def not going to do that. Their next album will be different too. These guys are artists in the truest sense of the word, and they will keep creating new musical adventures for all of us Musers. I am so glad they do!
Dammit Muse. This song is EPIC.
Your comment reminds me of th-cam.com/video/LQZqQF_5-p8/w-d-xo.html
This is my favorite song of the album
I love how this is on the start of BBC's The Planets. Best. Intro. Ever.
What an incredible piece of music!
Is this for real? A true masterpiece
this was on the recent brian cox documentary
la musicalidad , la armonia, ese efecto al final le da un toque exquisito ,una gran marca de muse en esta cancion,, gran album se hecharon
JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJA
This music is hauntingly beautiful..
This song is absolutely amazing. Gives me so many chills.
The best way to finish the album :'D
That's a real Masterpiece my friends..
We have a wonderful song with meaningful lyrics from 3 years ago. And now the lyrics mean completely different things. Oh the way of the world.
I think this is one of the most marvellous, underrated songs ever that's it.
The acustic version is even more pure.
I finally finished listening through the album and this is EASILY one of my fav songs off it. I love both it AND the alternative version. Muse really shines when it gets philosophical, whether in a rock song or a somber neo-classical style.
I've listened to this song at least 10 times, and somehow I've managed to tear up every single time.
The acoustic version gives me chills every time.
I did too. I can't believe I did, but i did. It left me traumatized.
I felt just like when i listen to Explorers. I cry.
There is something utterly mesmerizing in this song
The best song on this track , the emotion was perfect , it feels like a story is being told about angels and the unknown and how they are invisible and unreachable how they are in the void of space . Great job guys
I first heard this while watching NOVA, The Planets: Mars and I was just astounded by this songs utter beauty... The way it sounded and made me feel, it's just so mysteriously alluring.. It makes me feel as if its enchanting me with its magical melody...
Awesome! Found it! Been song has bee eluding me & my sister while watching the BBC/PBS series The Planets! OMG!!! I love this!!!
Hello, how are you doing? It’s nice meeting you here.
This reminds me of the Bliss music video
Matt falling at that huge hole in the ground while chris and dom watch him falling until he reach outer space
Thank you!! I was thinking the same thing.
yes!! i was just reminded of that haha
Yes , It's a Great Video , That Circle riminds me to of Bliss
Muse make us like Christmas today)
Exactly ❤❤❤
The bass in the final stanza makes my hair stand on end. The quintessential Muse sound heard on Hysteria, Madness, Plug in baby, used to underscore the message - be ridiculous. Be weird. Don’t give in. You’re not alone, so keep fighting. It’s sonic equivalent of cauterising a wound
Another life is an unintended comedy. Despite the awkward editing of the series, robotic line reading, and sad attempts at scientific jargon, the moment muse started playing I took everything seriously...
For just that moment. One might say muse stepped through a microwormhole to drop off a message of peace before leaving us alone and wanting.
I am regularly surprised / reminded how damn good this band is.
I can sense the reference from Exogenesis Symphony, Ruled By Secrecy and some other songs from OOS on this song.
also BHaR
Kavinsky
Bliss
@@zulhanapamungkas5543 Yes, the video.
Hoodoo
This is an absolute masterpiece.
Thank you for your hard work Muse! 💙❤️
Another Life on Netflix brought me here. And I'm in love!
It indeed is a masterpiece. I hope they release S2 soon
This song is a masterpiece... such complexity and beauty...
Matt is a true, pure genius
This scene reminds me when Matt falls in Bliss video. Anyone agree?
Brando García Gálvez me
Shiiiiit YOURE RIGHT
Agree
I think it is just the gray color and the circular shape
Oh yes :). I have a similar feeling here :3
Went to MUSE concert last week, it's the second time in my life after 12 years. I feel myself becoming crazy for their songs again like 14 years ago when I was a new MUSE fan. I have listened to every album they released, but at certain point I had a feeling that I will never be so into their songs like ever before. Well, I was wrong. Actually I can't have enough MUSE now.
I have been a fan for so many things, nothing last as long as MUSE for me.
The most underrated song
Me me me!!! Since 2003! Every concert. Queen of our times.
Honestly, this should be in some sort of space movie, it would fit SO perfectly, especially for the trailer
It was used in the season finale of Another Life. A Sci fi on Netflix
It was also used for the intro of Brian Cox’s ‘The Planets’
@@AngryK1tty It was used perfectly too. The lyrics match the scene absolutely perfectly.
Why bellamy u always fuking awesome.. ??
I dont know man... But he is
we don't question it anymore ahha
and dom ,chris and morgan !!!!!
That's like asking, "Why does Bellamy Bellamy?"
Becauze he's our God?
This is honestly the best thing Muse have done in, like, 8 years.
😂😂😂😂
don't forget supremacy, the handler or reapers :)
You're wrong,
You're wrong,
You're wrong...
Algorithm is better
@@filipedias7284 lol
When you listen this Song when thinking about "Interstellar" movie....There's a greater meaning to the song and the movie as Muse makes the point that they are wrong because we are not alone.
Once you hear the double voice in: "can see us" and "can reach us" at the first line you will never stop hearing it
The ending of Another Life brought me here. This song fit it perfectly.
I thought exactly the same, just watched the last episode and now I'm here
How fantastic! Love it!
Great show!!
The planets intro brought me here!
This is like a hymn. It inspires faith.
So far I think this and Blockades are the best songs on the album
Im agree with u, but adding pressure and thought contagion
and the dark side, of course
And Get up and fight
Propaganda.. This bottleneck solo got me right in the feels
And Algorithm
Came here from Brian Cox the Planets intro. ❤
Cudlar Me too! Great track.
same, loved the intro
They chose the perfect track for that program!
That series is really interesting.
I never knew what the surface of Mercury & Venus was like.
I never knew Mars was once an ocean planet.
I never knew Saturn's rings were once a moon.
Cudlar same here ❤️
I am really upset. This song destroys me emotionally. Something i can't explain makes me cry almost everytime i listen to it. First time a song makes me feel that way! What did you do to me, dudes? I love it so Much though.
Komrad I cried too it's beautiful
I also cried with this song. This, Explorers and Space Dementia are my three favourite MUSE songs.
I cry to at least 20 Muse songs; they reduce me to my most basis essence, of existential crisis and provide hope of the beyond. Somehow I feel like God when I listen to certain songs, in that truly we are all God, we are all everything, yet we are also nothing. I never know what song does it, though Exogenesis, Dead Inside, Dead Star, Algorithm do every time. My comment will either help or confuse you. 🤣😘
@@valinypse same here 💌
Arrived via The Planets and -
OMG what have I discovered?
Amazing, just amazing
It's been a while since a song gave me goosebumps, love the new album Muse
Every second of this gives me chills
I consider 'The 2nd Law' a masterpiece, and it has a song called 'Explorers'. That song is really important to me, that song made me cry and i had a whole night listening to it and analysing its lyrics, just to come to the conclusion that this song is a well-crafted metaphor of loosing every kind of hope you could ever have.
And this time MUSE did it again. They made me cry with 'The Void', a song that made EVERYONE that i know have goosebumps (and one person i know cried to it). Why? Why that song is so emotional? I have made my theory about.
They had awesome closers in every album, and making retrospective we had a whole trilogy of 12 minutes to create an end in 'The Resistance', that holy trinity is called 'Exogenesis Symphony' and talks about a new Genesis, a savior that continues with our evolutive line in another world. That's the reason it is called 'Exogenesis Symphony'.
Listening to The Void's lyrics i started to think that it works as a secuel, a bad ending to that failed try of new born life.
The first paragraph is pretty weird. Is our savior alone or is he having a companionship? Well, there are two possible answers:
Maybe he is talking alone, in space, with his own mind, trying to keep sanity and avoid madness; or maybe he IS in fact with company, let's all remember that he was going to bring humanity to another world, and he would definitely need a female to reproduce. After all it is pretty irrelevant.
Now the song start screaming "They're wrong", what does that means? Who were wrong? And wrong about what?
Let me skip the paragraph, I'll explain it later.
"They say the sun is dying", what a beautiful way to say that we are all dying. Without sun there is no humanity.
"And the fragile can't be saved. And the cold, it will devour us. And we won't rise up and slay giants." Humanity is getting weak, the cold that came because of the skinny sun is making us die, and all hope deposited in us going foward in the universe is getting smaller.
When Matt says "They're wrong" i think it means that, in pure despair, humans tried to force our arrival on another planet, even if it was absurdity from the beginnig. They were wrong indeed, humanity lost all their chances.
"They'll say no one will find us, that we're estranged and all alone. They believe nothing can reach us, and pull us out of the boundless gloom." Yes, they will say that. They are smart, they know what was coming for them. Just nothing more than death.
And, as an end, i want to say some things:
-My english is not the best and you probably noticed that while reading this post, so i would appreciate grammar corrections and criticism a lot.
-This theory may have a little of overthinking, so i am REALLY interested in reading your own interpretations on this song.
-¡Simulation Theory es una puta maravilla! Esta canción me llevó a las lágrimas y no puedo escucharla sin ponerme sentimental. Consiguieron lo mismo que lograron mí esa noche en la que escuché 'Explorers' en profundidad.
Qué genial teoría, bien pensado. C';
Damn dude, you got me listening to Explorers right now and got my heart bursting with emotions.
I've understood it as basically the most optimistic song Muse has written.
The verses are about how humanity is all alone in this universe on this planet, doomed to fail and die under the collapsing sun with nobody able to change it. But no matter how pessimistic, they are simply "wrong", it is not inevitable and humanity has the power to change its destiny if we don't accept that we're doomed.
> "They say the sun is dying"
On a cosmic scale though, every star is dying from the moment it formed. There is simply a finite amount of fuel to fuse with and once that runs out, the sun explodes (either into a gigantic red dwarf swallowing most of the solar system) or in the case of other heavier stars into a (super)nova killing everything in a radius of multiple light years. It's a undeniable fact and something that has been known will happen in a couple of billion years for a while.
Muse is one of today's most underrated rock bands! This song is amazing, like all of their others that I've heard, perfect choice for "The Planets" series!
I hate it when shit musics are popular now with hundreds of millions views where these masterpieces get so low views. This has to change.
