matthew bellamy has an angel like voice....i love it.

I've just discovered this song for the first time. I Just don't have even words...this is absolutely treasure

This song is so beautiful and evocative... it has bits and pieces of "Can't Help Falling in Love With You" by Elvis, "Everybody Hurts" by R.E.M., and "Ave Maria" by Schubert.

This is the best song I have ever listened to. I love it unconditionally. It has soo much meaning.

the beat totally reminds me of Elvis Presley's "Can't Help Falling In Love With You" and i love it xD

"far away from home" really hit me hard like it it shot me in the heart

You don't realize the emotion this song can bring someone in this situation or their families. They can relate to it, so Muse obviously know what they're doing. >_

Sto piangendo e non so perché, o forse sì... La musica è questa, la musica è emozione. Adoro questo pezzo e adoro i Muse. Ci sono tanti gruppi in circolazione, ma nessuno riesce ad emozionarmi così. Non smetterò mai di ascoltare i Muse, che grandi!

Everytime I hear this song, I smile, then I laugh and I can't help laughing, because there's no justice in the world and there never was and it's so true....

"Do you think you deserve your freedom?" This line is so important. The western world, referred to as the "free world" seems to be the cause of all terrible things happening in the East and the rest of the world. Not only wars (Afghanistan, Vietnam etc) but also our wealth. The only way our western standards are sustainable is to maintain poverty in the rest of the world. We are responsible for child labor, hunger, but most importantly global warming. And geographically we're lucky enough to be the last ones who experience the results of our gas pollution, meat consumption and all together simply reckless way to live. Do we deserve to be free when it basically means we enslave other people? Do we deserve to be free when we destroy the lives of the Unfree?

"there's no justice in the world and there never was" :)))

Truly...there is no justice in the world

This song is really beautiful and sad.

What an uplifting cheerfull song lol.

this song goes by so fast

I think it's about the thoughts of a soldier who has been to war.. Coming back and seeing people who just say "its a shame" but do nothing about it.. and do they really think they "deserve their freedom" when they know it's wrong to send someone away from home to fight, but then complain about war. Basically that people will complain about the violent things that happen at war, but will still happily send soldiers away to lay down their lives for them, if it's to protect their own freedom.

Wow, no emotion? You are insane! This is definitely one of their most emotionally involved songs ever.

Thanks for this!

Thank you for this video :)

Beautiful 💜

❤❤ Matt's voice ❤❤

I like Muse. I think most of us like Muse if we're listening to their music. So let's stop fighting. I like Muse!

This reminds me of The Things They Carried. People need to think before they send their children off to war.

I think in this case this song/poem has one meaning, I think it's directed to his government. Some songwriters however write lyrics to be more open to interpretation so the listener will connect with the song more personally.

como amo esta cancion

I've been listening this to months now on a burned muse CD in my car. Not knowing the name. Just knowing it was track five and it's the best. ❤

Nothing ever only has one meaning. A song, or a peice of literature can bring light to an almost irrelevant subject (to the one that the author/artist was writing about) for an individual, if they so choose to 'see the peice' or 'understand' it in that way. So really, you shouldn't get too worked up about another person's opinion - you should be grateful that they have it and that they've shared it with you, because you probably wouldn't have looked at it in their way!

my mum loves this and she is 77 :)

i like ths song very much :)

Yes, it looks a lot like a Queen song but Muse have something difficult to explain.....I loved every single note of Queen but they were very pop, Muse are rock and the texts sometimes are very deep.

beautiful.i think it reminds me love tender by elvis

This song remembers me to christmas

Why does it have to be so short? :(

I love this song and particulary when "Chris??" sing

I wish this was longer.

lest we forget

I've lost Marines in combat and this song depresses the shit out of me.

I hear that.

The song may be a little on the pretentious side, but I love the melody. It's so soothing.

Not too shabby, although the lyrics pop up a bit late on each screen when trying to do a late night drunken karaoke sesh ;)

I don't think you understand the perspective of the lyrics. It's from the point of view of soldiers who are dissatisfied with their governments motives for sending them to war, as well as the animosity that arises when they see jackoffs in the country they are putting their lives on the line for. Unless you do understand the perspective, in which case this is simple a difference of opinion.

If you consider freedom of interpretation to be a terrible thing, then music is not something that you should even have an interest in, my friend!

Absolutely amazing song. It's so annoying when people are against Muse and say it's because they are too electric and techno -- I always show those people this song to prove them wrong! Soldier's Poem is proof of Muse's amazing talent; their ability to make awesome out of such simple tunes. And they're English!

:O muse muse muse muse muse :D

does the harmony at the end remind anybody else of Queen?

March 2019

I think its about people who don't appreciate the military and people that protest war - "you think you deserve your freedom"; because the same people take the freedom that has been paid for in blood by soldiers and use it against them - doing things they would surely be executed for under dictatorships. A song about the cost of freedom.

That song make me kinda sad. Looking like they tell the world what was the army.

Hopefully, because that's what I'm thinking.

you have to be a robot if you don't feel emotion with this song

@narutorox85 some people feel a deep connection to certain songs, so even if you don't feel that way about a song, someone else probably does.

This song should be longer.

I am here for mister D

where's the repeat button? YT needs one!

im pretty sure only you don't understand about the lyrics. Cause im pretty sure everyone else does. If you want me to explain the meaning to the lyrics reply to this comment.

@shelbybelby1214 I hate it when /people/ try to talk about shite they don't understand. Mind you, I was over in Iraq when the shite hit the fan; this song is hauntingly appropriate.

@narutorox85 Well that's your opinion, and I must respect it. But I think a song doesn't need complex lyrics to transmit a complex and deep message. Besides, most Muse songs aren't as "simple" as this one. This is a nice song that shows how Muse can be versatile.

Sounds like a modern day beetles song. I agree with Shockinglcicles I wish it was much longer..

d masive - dilema

This is one of muses songs about how government and war and the allminatai

HANNIGRAM OFFICIAL FUCKING SONG

Why do I Agree With Muse? Oh, Yeah, Because It's True

Ave Maria 1:23

what do you expected , see that super emotion name jtj39 xD

I'm new to Muse and as much as I love their music, their lyrics are surprisingly brilliant. Also, as an American, I think this message is right on. I really wish someone would make Bush, Blair and Brown listen to this and Take a Bow.

Justice? Justice scares me - I'm afraid to die.

listening d'masiv - dilema

Could you please do some B-sides or demo lyrics?

@narutorox85 No, it isn't. Now you're just trying to insult me. Someone is pretentious when they consider themselves superior to others. I am not pretentious. I believe Muse has left a message in this song, and I'm sharing my opinion on it, telling you how I understand the lyrics. You, on the other hand, have been criticizing and attacking anyone who has a different opinion. Now who is being arrogant and pretentious? (not finished yet)

@holyking1100 ....doesn't mean it's called Soldier's Poem that a soldier wrote this.

1 guy was send far away from home . . .

That sound like definition of troll. and since you're a troll, no one will take your word seriously.

Perfect song for the Russian soldiers who don't want to be in Ukraine. 🇺🇦 Prayers for Ukraine and the Russians who see the truth. 🙏

i hate it when people try to talk shit and they don't understand themselves...

@narutorox85 I don't agree with you. The lyrics have emotion, if you understand them. "Let's lose ourselves, cause there's no one left for us to blame. It's a shame we're all dying." The person who is saying this is obviously frustrated because he/she couldn't achieve his/her goals. But this is also a bit ironic, because he/she doesn't like the fact that people are dying, but, still, didn't do anything about it.

@narutorox85 (continuing) You may think these lyrics are too flat and cliche, and have no deep meaning, but maybe that's because you didn't bother to pay attention and try a little harder in order to find a more complex message. You have your opinion, and I respect it. So I think you should do the same.

@narutorox85 no emotion? you've got to be a robot if you think this song has no emotion.... :l

yeah so do i . thats why kesha and the like should shut up . BUT MATT BELLAMY UNDERSTANDS . so wake up .

@shelbybelby1214 so what are you saying!? muse don't know what they're talking about!?

@musesince1994 I guess self-restraint is out of the question... the alleged dick is not making shit remarks. He made them 6 months ago and is sick of people replying without any substance in their arguments.

They just covered Bach

So... What's with the notes?

Shit, i think the Reff is "Aaa. . . Ve Mariii. . . A". . . 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

"And do you think you deserve your freedom?", "There's no justice in the world, and there never was." Now the person is telling someone else that it was their fault as well, and so they didn't deserve forgiveness. Maybe this second person achieved freedom, which would anger the first person and make him/her say that there was no justice in the world. This is how I understand the song :)

Funny how people keep using something that will make them look like a clown and do not change it. since six grade rofl.

@narutorox85 Then bring a dictionary and transcribe the definition! Actually don't, I'm tired of this pointless talk. We're arguing about the definition of the word "pretentious", instead of enjoying this song. I won't bother responding to you any more than what I've already done.

@MegRS95 Meaning doesn't equal emotion and depth. And don't patronize me with "if you understand them." I understand them. One of the problems is that the lyrics are so simple and cliche that it doesn't take any intelligence to understand it.

Better that my username make me look a fool and my actions make up for it than the other way around...

Yet it does only have one meaning. When an author writes something they are only thinking of one concept. Thus there is one Interpretation and multiple applications of a concept. We shouldn't allow everyone to make up their own meaning and bastardize the intended meaning.

seems like you don't understand the song

@MegRS95 I've never seen someone write so much and say so little. You're obviously blindly immersed in your own wrong opinions, so I'm not even going to bother except to say that is not what pretentious means.

@narutorox85 Just get over yourself and enjoy the music, man. Geez.

@jtj39 So your argument is that you don't need an argument. In that case, why bother replying to my comment? I'm not going to agree with you, so to bring up such a stupid point is just an exercise in self-validation.

You are the one that doesn't understand

@musesince1994 Replying to a 6 month old argument to be condescending and to project, good job.

potato quality audio. listen to another upload.

@narutorox85 I honestly don't know what your problem is. We all think Muse is a great band, and you (obviously) don't. So stay the crap off of Muse's music. If you don't like it, you can go listen to Justin Bieber and play Pokemon alone. If people like you wouldn't provoke others on an artists music, then KZfaq would be a better site to come to. But you can't seem to respect the fact that we like our music, and you like your music. So leave Muse alone, and enjoy fighting that wild Pokemon.

@MegRS95 Finding complex, deep meanings from simple, cliche lyrics is the definition of pretentious.

That sort of close-minded thinking is unhealthy.
