Not many people know what the song is really about, not even many Muse fans. Matt has said (on one occasion about 22 years ago) that the song is about admiring how a child can radiate happiness. "Everything about you resonates happiness". Just pure joy and bliss, without having to worry about anything, without any adult responsibilites, without having been exposed to stuff in life yet. And he said that he misses that feeling of being a child and would want to experience it again as an adult. "Everything about you is so easy to love, they're watching you from above" literally means adults looking down at children and loving them. "Everything about you is how I'd wanna be, your freedom comes naturally". A child can be completely in the moment, completely free, and be happy. And Matt envies that. "Everything about you pains my envying". He wants that for himself. "Give me all the peace and joy in your mind, I want the peace and joy in your mind". We've all had that when we were kids, but we grew out of it slowly. We can remember things from our childhood, but none of us really remember what it felt like being a child and what that carefree state of mind was like. "Your soul can't hate anything". A child is incapable of hating anything or anyone the same way adults are. If something hurts a child, they might cry for a minute, but they will forget it in an instant and go on living their blissful, happy existence without growing to hate it. Another interesting thing is that the background synth track is pretty much stolen from the theme music to a 1992 kids video game called Top Gear for the Super Nintendo (not that anyone ever sued Matt over it). Literally a game for kids. And a third interesting fact: In the early 2000's, they used to play this song live all the time with those huge balloons unleashed upon the audience about halfway through the song. Those balloons are literally something that kids would go crazy over, not adults, because adults don't care about balloons. Kids would jump up and down out of joy if they had balloons like that. But so did the audience. For a brief moment, the people in the audience got to feel that bliss and joy of being a child, lost in the present moment. All in all, it's a song about kids! :D

I hate when people are saying, that Matt and God are the same person! Like yes, he's really good, but still he is not Matt!

Never have I felt the pure and raw emotion of a band so much in one song

That is intense. Bliss, album version awesome but when it's live it takes it to whole other level.

This is what happiness looks like! just perfection

everything about muse is so easy to love

High quality is relative when it was filmed with a potato but still looks beautiful

This was recored 9 years ago approximately 350 miles away from where I am now, I've seen this video hundreds of times before and yet every time I watch it sends chills down my spine! Everyone who was there for that concert had the most incredible experience and I will envy them for ever. TUUUUUUUNE!!!

this is the best performance of bliss live i have heard!!

Freaking heck you crazies. They're bursting with so much energy in their early 2000s live shows, it's freaking infectious. Whenever I watch one I feel like I could run a mile in a minute.

4:50 Muse knew they're living their dream as a band so they just had to break everything to celebrate it.

3:38 Love this moment xD

lol matt jumps and dom while chris pushes the kit over!! Haha! They have so much fun when theyre performing, great to watch!!! :D

I love Hullabaloo. Energizes me!!! Bliss is one of my favorite songs

PURE ENERGY AND ECSTASY!!!

this is how you end a show. I really missed this badass Muse. :'(

You don´t know what living means untill you have been to a muse concert

I love this song and I love MUSE.. the band has always fun doing live shows and they always put so much energy and feeling into it.. the vibe in the crowd and even in the air is incredible. I really admire that.. :)

No alcanzan las palabras para describir lo que expresan, gracias totales

That's how you finish a concert.

only muse could do that, thata why we love them!!!

french audiance is amazing

I've never seen them so happy. Especially Christopher :P. That's what bliss is all about, right?

how can you NOT love this?! i've got goosebumps, i'm sweating like a prostitute in a church and my heart is racing. Dude, i love muse!

i love how he plays the solo and then just starts to crush the balloons.

3:37 = Bliss, right there.

3:42, bass is less sharp than guitar

One of the best Muse songs, so glad they've been playing it and also MOTP in gigs this year :D

I watch this daily...and no I'm not kidding

A man of Bellamy's mind should not be limited to mere mortality.

this one's wonderful - I love the end and that guitar solo, improvising...

The way this song kicks in is amazing

the bass in this is just thumpin man those variations in the chorus are soooo good

i love how they completely destroy the stage when they're done! muse is the best!

when you say you want to be famous everybody tells you it's a hard life, but when you can do a concert like this you know you'd do everything for it, everything about this it's how i wanna be

for only 360p, this is the highest quality band i've ever seen!

If there is a God, this is the music he listens to!

Muse deserve best band in the universe

i think this was probably one of their best songs performed live and the guitar solo was perfect

oh man the atmosphere at that place must have been electric.

i'm watcing this 10 times/day!

Best band of the last 10 years!!! God freaking bless Muse!!!

BLISS!!!!!!! gotta love it!

taken from the best live dvd ever.....

A brilliant song one of my faves

If anyone asks you why muse has won all there live band awards... Just simply show them this video. Muse........ Fucking awesome.....

I fucking came while watching and listening to this for the first time. Now, 2 years later, i haven't changed underwear!

if god can listen to music , Muse would be his favourite band. !

Best version ever!!!

Such an amazing performance :) I love how Matt goes mad at the end and jumps on Chris, aswell as Dom's drum kit lmao they are true gods :D

I like how they start off with the song. I even think it's better than the studio version. It's starts off calm, then goes BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SYNTHESIZERS, DRUMS, BASSLINE, AND GUITAR = TOTAL BLISS. WHAT MORE CAN YOU GET FROM THIS LIVE VERSION????? It's simply a rare jewel.

NO words to describe that. Amazing

the final riff is awsome!

they`re so crazy... love them^^

He still is and always will be.

This proves originality isn't dead!!!

Best performance ever!!!

aww dang it, that was our first song!

Okay, time to finish the chorus of this s- OH WAIT A BALLOON

Best version ❤️👍

They used to be so much fun. Now they don't do these kind of silly things anymore...I miss them the way they were before *cries*

Muse, my love.

"I want the peace and joy in your miiii...." BALLOON!!

simply fantastic!!!!!!!

There is only one thing to state: Muse is awesome ;D

Doctor says you have 6 minutes to live, ok I already know what to listen to.

saw them at the o2 last night, first time in six years. jesus it was bad. watching this to cleanse my soul.

Always spine thrillingly amazing!!

best bliss performance

I think he wants peace and joy, I'm not sure tho.

When God hears them play this song he says "but I already gave you all the bliss in the world, how else would you be so awesome?!"

the most incredible thing about this performance is the bass pedal staying on the bass drum at the end!!

that looks like so much god damn fun at the end :D:D:D

hell yea im with ya with that one man

And that´s a true rock band my students.!

The DVD is TOTALLY WORTH IT, AND THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. Every song in the set list is played exquisitely and much more better than the studio version. Take a look at Bliss! It's start in the live version changes everything that the studio version has done. It makes much more impact as it goes all out with the synthesizers, guitar, bass, and drums from which it came from as an unexpected calm, steady intro.

its such a shame that muse have gone down hill since this was filmed, i mean 'i belong to you' and 'neutron star collision don';t sent shivers down your spine like this

That'll be the end of that Drum Kit then... LOL. What a fucking great performance, I've never seen anything like it, it was just totally mental!!!

wish they threw this in setlists more often today, but all in all can't complain, at least I get to see them live!

I wasn't really a fan of this song until I saw this. True story.

the end is mindblowing

could some one make an audio file of this video, this is my favorite version of bliss, it's so..... GREAT!!!

This just cheers my soul.

never will we see MUSE this raw and epic again...so unfortunate that I didn't know them back in the early 2000s when they were still this insane :((((

That has got to be one of the bst endings EVER! :D

this is my favorite muse song :) of the album... ;)

miss that days U_U

gives me all i need

3:29 Matt's like f*** it! I don't want to sing the final verse, I wanna balloon!

Muse, radiohead and coldplay in that order

Best show final EVER! ME GUSTA :D!

One of those moments when it seems like the stage can't contain Matt.

Awesomeeeeee!!!

I LOVE MUSE :D

i totally agree with you!!

This performance is so much more raw than at Reading

Their new album is awesome!

amazing!!!!!!!!!! muse muse muse muse muse muse muse muse forever!!!!!!!!!!

Dom: ...But I liked those drums! :( Matt: Well I didn't! ;)

awesome best performance ever, the end was so funny
