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

So appropriate for our current oandemic

Moonlight Sonata meets Genesis?

 
Muse - masters of "borrowing" other's work.

They take so many riffs, motifs and ideas from others, it's not even funny.

This is fabulous!

How is it that it was made 7 years ago and I didn't know it existed until recently. Not fair. Thanks RP.

it took me about 10 comments down before I realised Muse weren't doing a cover of a Beatles track written by George and stolen by John and Paul. I hate it when the tracks and comments get out of sync

Lead singer gets very over-wrought at the best of times, but he's quite calm on this one.  I like it a lot.

Okay, this just got me to turn the stereo up. That's a very good sign. A very good sign indeed. Beethoven meets (god forgive me for saying this) Coldplay. Oh well, I know somebody who loves Sardines and Peanut Butter sandwiches.

Vocal harmonies could be smoother... The contrast with the music makes vocals seem unpracticed.

Ehhhhhhh, it's pleasant enough, I s'pose.  It's got that soothing Beethoven-y kinda hook working for it.  Not a fan of the vocals, though.

Reading a few of the earlier comments, I see several that are derogatory. Personally I can't think why. Music appreciation is subjective and I rate their sound, and this track in particular, very highly. Also thought their set at Glastonbury a couple of weeks ago was outstanding.

Thanks for a superb listen Bill and Rebecca.

Can I hug you?  You are exactly what RP is all about - music appreciation. Whether we love a song or hate it, that we're here listening and commenting is just a wonderful thing.  And I'm with you - rap doesn't make me happy, but that doesn't make it "bad." That whole freedom of choice thing is getting pretty important in these days of censorship and political-correctness.

And then there's Stingray, who is in a class by himself (because he killed and ate all his other classmates.) {#Lol} (He knows I'm kidding...)

I was folding clothes, and this song came on, and I sorta froze to listen... It's gorgeous. Not hip-hop, not rap, not disco, not rock - it's simple, elegant, beautiful, and perfect.

I love it.

I just don't have enough information to know whether Matthew Bellamy actually takes himself as seriously as it sounds like he does on this song.  If he does, I think he's on the fast track to a pie in the face.

Count me among the play parts 1 and 2 camp. Also, this album has pretty high highs (if you like Queen) and pretty low lows, but then you get this lovely, sweeping (if not a bit pompous, but hey, it's Muse - what do you expect?) "symphony" ending.
