Muse, one of the most innovative bands of our time. Taking elements from classical composers like Rachmaninov, Tchaikovsky, and Chopin, fusing it with electrifying stadium rock and hauntingly dark lyrics about fear, God, damnation, and the powers that always watch us. So many people don't even understand what Muse is about and why they're so incredible and it's a damn shame.

People think that Muse is just some rock band out of England known just for their light shows. But this, this is the true form of Muse which is a band that doesn't just make rock music, but a band that makes extraordinary pieces of music that can be compared to the like of the greats like Chopin, Mozart and Beethoven. Muse stands by their band name and does exactly as the definition means which is art.

His long white coat makes this performance twice as cool as it already is.

I would class Matt as one of the best musicians in the world right now and ever. Damn this is so good. He's such an awsome source of inspiration. Thank you for existing.

Voice of an angel, perfection, greatest live band i've ever seen... greatest band on earth

Muse aren't a band, they're a genre of music, entirely self-contained and perfectly tuned - this song is honestly beautiful.

That piano solo gives me chills every time! This whole song is a masterpiece. The quiet start all the way to the build-up and that explosion of a solo. Beautiful. One of my favorite songs of all time.

whats sad is that only a few people cheered in the beginning :( Such an excellent and dark song

Perhaps some can relate to this: There’s something about their music that seems to sooth me in moments of anger, depression, anxiety, etc. The music is just so easy on the ears but also gives off an eery calmness that I just can’t explain. It makes me feel like everything will be ok-and in so many different situations. It’s almost like when you have a bad day and finally get home, and being home brings you comfort. Well listening to their music has that same effect. I came to my place of comfort.

3:42 - 4:00 God damn it Matt!! that part is too good

Glastonbury 2OO4. When Dominic Howard's father died just after the live...RIP :(

Matt had such grand visions back then. Ruled by Secrecy needs to be beamed out across the entire world. He must have felt like a God on that piano that night.

After 11 years listening to muse, I'm close enough to say that this is my favorite song of them, I mean...it has it all ! , Such an underrated song

MUSE THE BEST BAND IN THE FUCKING WORLD!!!

This is one of the songs where I watch Matt Sing with true emotion and passion. Sometimes that is lacking in muses more recent tours. Though I adore them, I miss this emotion in a performance rather than the spectacular visuals. But really, this is stunningly gorgeous

That shift at 4:02 gives me chills every time. I always have to rewind it a couple times.

it is incredible the way he sings...he never misses a note and he could be recorded any time.

3:01 to 3:42 Jesus coming down to Earth and taking us to his planet of perfection.

When he looks in the camera

I’m currently learning this song on piano myself and one of the reasons it’s so hard is because I’m resisting tears. By far the most unique band I know even compared to classics and legends. I honestly think it will end up being the most unique band I ever know in my existence. I mean seriously Muse, take a bow, if you got what I mean ;)

Holy fuck... He's god

I think the absolution era was their best work . They made all their old songs better and the falsettos and the screams and the high notes are just nostalgic feeling for me . Also gets me very high feeling . I also just got done smoking .

My ears can't handle his voice as it's comming straight outta his soul .. this angelic tone is pure emotions .. Muse has always been my favorite band because of masterpieces like this.

Brain : cry Me : why Brain: just do it.

I've passed through depression several years, and music has been always there for me, I feel lucky to have bands such as Muse and Radiohead, both are my favourites, always with me, feeling sad and crying...

I can't, this is so beautiful and mind blowing. thanks you for existing Matt holy shit

This is spectacular. Lyrics could not be more important and crucial. The most stunning and beautiful art of this and the last century.

Amazing!! Matt is a genius.... the climax..... the calm.... the storm..... the end of the song is epic....

Absolution will forever be my favorite Muse album. This album was their peak both musicianship-wise and emotion-wise. I'm not judging them for the direction they took since BHaR or anyone who enjoys and loves their more recent albums. I'm just a little sad that there won't be more of this kind of music. Because Muse themselves won't come back to this, and no other band can even come close. Still grateful for what we got though. Man, 2003 was a hell of a year.

Pure genius, crazy talent, vocal and piano, guitar, best band. I hope the Muse to come back to Korea to perform after the covid-19 virus is over.

This live version absolutely shits all over the album version... still can’t stop listening and it’s almost 2020!

This song makes me feel like I'm listening to classical music: I look at nowhere, absorbing each accord and relaxing my soul. They are truly music alchemists.

And after that deeply heartfelt emotional performance, just "cheers" at the end haha

This performance is just really incredible to me. Love the music, the lab coat, and just the way he stares into the camera. Just the kind of performance I wish I could of see live, but I was only eight at this time. ❤❤

I’ve officially counted.... this is my 50th time watching this song live wishing I could actually see them live 😅😢

This album saved my life. A few times. Too beautiful.✌️

Total goosebumps-almostcrying-musegasm!!

I love this song so much. So deep and dark. Definitely underrated.

This song, always sends chills down my spine.

Matt, thank you for existing

Definitely one of Muses’s more mysterious, and on some level, metaphysical, pieces. It is truly sensed as other-worldly in its own dark atmosphere, and scary that its theme may well be in ours. Bellamy’s falsetto-vocals on this number are mesmerizing to me, and I wonder, “Where has he been, and what has he seen?” Another number safely in its place (again, for me) among the handful of the top tier. “Change in the air, and they'll hide everywhere, and no one knows who's in control.”

This was definitely their best concert, ever, in my opinion. Absolution was my favourite album, and if I were to chose ANY concert to go to in history, this would be it.

La voce di Matt diventa uno strumento che si declina insieme ad essi

i will always remember this song though not for a typical reason. i was diagnosed with rectal cancer almost two months ago (august 25th). while i waited for treatment i coped with it by rewriting entire muse albums at a time. i did it in reverse chronological order. each album had a different theme which made it easier to rewrite all the songs. when i reached this one is was running out of theme ideas so i came up with an idea for a concept album about a couple and their lives together at different stages. starting off with the end of everything (apocalypse please renamed the end) then going back to the beginning (time is running out renamed life is running out). i had this grand vision of a happy album where they meet get married have kids and die together or something but as anybody who writes can tell you, you don't really have control over how a story plays out. i especially had to follow the music and it's tone. i could of written happy lyrics to sad and deep sounding heavy songs but it wouldn't sound right and the album has a lot of deep serious heavy songs especially towards the end. so the album turned out to be more like a couple meets and gets together, breaks up, the guy goes through trauma without her, they get back together, get married, then immediately divorced, the ex-wife ends up in a mental institution and at end of the album gets out finally and seemingly reconciles with her ex-husband. sorry for the roundabout way of getting to what this has to do with this song and why i will always remember it but i wanted some context first. this song is beautiful and i wrote beautiful but sad lyrics about healing and hope for the future. i wanted the album to have a happy ending but instead a list minute soul crushing twist happens that brings it to a terribly dark end specially if you interpret it a certain way. i hear that horrific twist every time the final part after the epic piano solo happens. i rewrote the whole album in one day (but not one sitting) and i felt confused as to what the hell just happened after the final song. after sitting back and thinking about the story i wrote i realized that it was basically the story of me and my ex. i mean not exactly but pretty damn close. we didn't have a happy ending either but the whole twist never happened to our relationship. anyway sorry for all the text. if you are reading this then thank you for putting up with it. i hope you understand why this song means so much to me.

Makes you wonder where has Mathew Bellamy been, what has he experienced ?

One of the best live bands ever

Wow........ Goosebumps. I have no idea how he can sing that so well live

Pure art

His voice really pulls your heart strings bloody amazing 😢

Beautifull, fantastic!!!!!

3:03 literally chills, every. single. time.

One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. His voice is particularly ghost-like here, in a hauntingly beautiful way

angelic voice there

This over distorded bass

if I had to pick my favourite 5 minutes from all of history, it would be this. fucking incredible.

Me encanta muse y la voz de matt bellamy.

Absolutely love your voice!

C'est probablement le plus beau de tous leurs morceaux.. Quelle voix.. quelle musique.. une performance vocale vraiment inimitable.. magique tout simplement ♡

This to me is just the most perfect song ever written

I wish the piano part were longer. It’s so good!

This is just gorgeous. Amazing performance of an amazing song.

Speachless I cant even... they are so amazing

I personally think that Dom's drumming on this song in particular sets the mood so goddamn good.

One of the best Muse song

this song was a great way to close absolution

Such a great song can't stop listening to their musical and lyrical genius!!!

One of the best performances and staging I have seen. Everything came together for this performance.

This live version is better than the original one !!

One of my most favorite songs.... I feel this in my bones, it's absolutely beautiful ❤️

This fucking masterpiece takes me places everytime the piano bridge begins

Inspiration for The Void

God I can hear Thom Yorke and Jeff Buckley , its just me? O.o Matt its a big big talent , amazing !

Lagu ini jadi bikin inget jaman kuliah di Melbourne 2004... Lagu pengantar tidur... Suka banget Muse sejak 2001, sampe anakku sekarang jadi ngefans juga 🤭

This would've been the height of my fanship of Muse. Adelaide Australia set at the Thebarton theatre was one of the best gigs I've ever seen. Ruled by Secrecy was hair raising. I miss the old days :(

2023 still listening 🤩

Beautiful and inspiring music.

I LOVE MATT! BEAUTIFULL!

I cannot listen this goddess song without tears....

If I ever watch this song live I will literally jizz in my pants

2020 and i’m still here

Aaah don't you love it when Matt looks straight at the camera while performing?

Love this song

Absolutely magnificent

Simply masterful. The Muse of today is a far cry from the Showbiz - Black Holes era. That was in my opinion, when Muse were one of the best bands to ever perform.

Matt you is my universe❤❤

That last chorus is absolute perfection

This is one if their best performances ever.

Loving the mood of this song, with those seemingly delayed and out-of-phase synth lines... And of course hardpiano

Pure genius

These are masterpieces of music! Such a wonderful performance! It breaks through to a shiver. ♥️♥️♥️🎸🎸🎸🤘

Sontuosa... Come la vita che chiede alla vita! Una meraviglia. Thank You, Muse!!!

Just in awe..this is music people, this is music....

I will never stop believing Muse is the best band to ever exist. This song makes all sorts of emotions flourish inside me, now imagine the whole album! And Matt's voice is truly the most mesmerizing one I've ever heard. So glad im alive to presence this masterpiece.

The finest.

tiap kali dengar lagu ini pasti ku merinding , ngak tau kenapa lirik dan komposisi musicnya pass banget.

I used to be a raver into hard trance. I went to a rave which was awesome. But afterwards i went to a house party and we were all feeling down if you know what i mean lol. Anyway this song was played and it changed my life...

Why can we like only once ?!

can i be that microphone

This is insane!

One of the only songs that make my heart pound faster, such a masterpiece
