MUSE - Aftermath [Official Music Video] 

"Loneliness be over." - Map Of The Problematique, 2006 "The loneliness has gone." - Aftermath, 2015

This song is criminally underrated. I see it often labelled as one of the worst off of drones but in my opinion it is one of the best and one of their most beautiful songs overall.

And here we are... in 2022.. Dealing with the sad reality of war. Countries fighting, people dying... to what end? Listening to this song breaks your heart to a million pieces

My grandfather was a soldier in WW2 he survived with many bullets in his body he lost a part of his skull ... he always told us * war is not a thing you wish even for your enemy * He lived with nightmares after the war ended when he grew old things got worse and he woke up with his eyes open but couldn't see a thing just raising his hand to save his dead friends... he always saw his dead friends calling him All men Reach and Fall

Anyone else notice the startling resemblance of the protagonist to Matt at 3:55? Strange since it didn't look like him for the entirety of the rest of the video, but till somehow a nice little cameo.

Don't cry... don't cry... don't cry... don't cry...

There are only a couple songs that have ever managed made me cry. This is one of them. Easily the most underrated Muse song ever

I can't watch this without crying. Beautiful and underrated masterpiece

War is all around I'm growing tired of fighting I've been drained And I can't hide it But I have strength for you You're all that's real anymore I am coming home now I need your comfort From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone States are crumbling Walls are rising high again It's no place for the faint-hearted But my heart is strong Because now I know where I belong It's you and I against the world We are free From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone We've gone against the tide All we have is each other now I'm coming home now I need your comfort From this moment From this moment You will never be alone We're bound together Now and forever The loneliness has gone We're bound together Now and forever Loneliness has gone :)

Matt's voice is like a fine cheese: it only gets better with age.

Underrated song.

This song should get more recognition. Criminally underrated!

This music video is amazing. I hope we get The Globalist and Drones music video bery soon.

I swear I am not crying! I just caught something in my eye...

I think this is their most beautiful song.

Now I understand why some people said they cried watching this video, listening to this song. I am crying too. This could perfectly be use it in education around the world.

Japanese directors know hot to make a rain full of tears

Imagine when they play this song on live stage, and all crowd sing together,

Having lost two uncles to Viet Nam and four cousins to Gulf I, and several friends in Gulf II, this always makes me cry. War has no use.

Only real men cry while watching this video.

Goddammit muse, I didn't ask for feels in the middle of math class, IM TRYING NOT TO CRY DAMMIT!

Welp, I'mma go cry in the most ugly fashion now.

The most underrated muse song by far

Been listening to this song religiously since February. Soon is the year since this started and I still don’t understand how this hasn’t just stopped

I'm not crying at all

It's been a good month..

Only Muse can make me crying with a song

3:12 I almost cry when the rock disappears, and the old lady spawns. My fav part of the video.

I'm not crying... You are

Am I the only one who cry every time I listen to this song?

Why don't they ever play this live? Imagine a stadium with all the lights off lit only by the flashlights on people's phones looking like a sky full of stars and everyone singing along. Holy shit. I'm almost crying just by writing this.

This shit is so sad it almost makes me cry.

If this doesn't give you the chills then I seriously don't know what will.

I'm a big Muse fan, yet I've never gave much thought on exploring the 2 last albums, I think I was scared of being disappointed, well I think that I was very wrong, first time hearing this song and watching this clip, man, I swear someone was cutting onions near me.. To all soldiers and population that went, goes, through the horror of war, I salute you. May the world be at peace.. Yes, please.

One of the best videos i've seen.. so simple yet so powerful.. i'm sad they never sing this song live but oh well..

Happy Birthday Matthew Bellamy, you God amongst men!

Why must this video make me cry every time I watch it?

Great song with explorers, exogenesis symphony part III, invincible, etc

This is such an underrated song, yet it’s so beautiful. In moments it reminds me of old Muse songs, yet at the same time, I feel like this is a side of Muse we’ve never seen before. The melody is giving soft rock, jazz, blues vibes - gorgeous.

The opening riff is just like U2's "One". In fact much of the song is similar.

For me this is just a daydream I live in Iraq and here there are no happy endings our men never come back and our children would never live happily after.. I liked it though

real ironical story on our brother country Syria, touchin me.., may Allah always protect them on there live.. amin

I want this to be my first dance at my wedding.

This is a tough one for me to listen to...I've seen my friends die for a cause that wasnt worth their lives. In Fallujah, I lost my best friend who I'd grown up with since I was 5 years old. We both joined straight out of high school, and I made it home...he didnt. It should have been the other way around, his life for mine, and I would have gladly made that trade. He was a good man....and thinking about that moment his parents found out their only child was killed is something I wouldnt wish on an enemy.

People don't understand how hard it is to do animation. This stuff is incredible! This looks like it was done traditionally, which is even more amazing.

Matthew's voice is so powerful and emotional. He can express his feelings freely for any type of songs.

I know that in 1.5 hours by car to the border in a neighboring country , my country is destroying it with war and listening to this composition I unconsciously have tears flowing. I never felt tears can burn my eyes and cheeks. My god. I pray for the lives of these children, women, men, animals, nature.

The guy that makes these is a genius.

I specially love how the rock despawns at 3:14

Muse es la mejor banda existente! Con respeto a las bandas anteriores!

This music has so much Dire Straits, U2 and Queen on it, but it's still so Muse. Damn.

Such a brilliant, touching, emotional beauty of a song. I gotta say, Muse has really become a huge part of my life over the years. I became a singer because of this band! Matt, your are truly my inspiration like no other! This band will forever be the greatest band to ever live in MY Books! May MUSE live FOREVER! 👊🏼👊🏼👌🏼

This song is needed now more than ever 🙏🇺🇦❤️

the whole drones album makes much more sense now

And unfortunately this video is only 2 millions views...

I'm not crying, someone's cutting onions

I can't watch this without thinking about what's happening currently in the Middle East...so sad 😞 Let's give peace a chance ! 🙏

This could be used as a wedding song it’s so beautiful and love like! Despite it being sad, it could be used for a couple that had been through a lot

Muse, making music for the people.

ay por dios cómo algo puede ser tan hermoso??

The bassline 🥰

This is a masterpiece but it gets no big attention because it's an outdated song for today's music. But the meaning of the lyrics is more accurate than ever

Am I the only one who think that Muse's albums and songs tell one big long story? Probably not, but I just wanted to get this theory out there: EDIT: Holy shit you guys are awesome. This comment now has over 100 replies and over 600 upvotes. Thank you all so much! I never thought this would get so much attention. I seriously wrote this off the top of my head in like 10 minutes. Not well-thought out at all! So please keep that in mind So first there was Showbiz: Pretty normal, some sad love songs (Unintended), but already there are some hints in the name, Unintended, that saw something happened that wasn't supposed to. Then, there was some crazy girl (Sunburn), who, obviously went crazy, and she probably sent things into motion. (I'm not all to familiar with the other songs on Showbiz, but just roll with me, here). Then there was Origin of Symmetry: The name "New Born" already sounds like something new has been created (yes , I am aware that in the song they're talking about an actual new born child). After the crazy girl did something, some people just went into absolute happiness (Bliss and Feeling Good), probably because she was tricking them into thinking she was good. And we learned and made plans to go to space (Space Dementia), and some people started to fear that this crazy girl, who maybe started some kind of revolution, would turn the population into an assimilated robot-like collective (Plug In Baby), and then, mass killings were conducted (Citizen Erased). Things weren't looking good, and it was obvious now that the crazy girl was, in fact, crazy. Next, in Absolution, even the name of the album hints that this revolution thing is absolutely going to happen. People were fearing even as far as an apocalypse (Apocalypse Please), and people started to go crazy (Hysteria), and crazy girl started kidnapping people, and her hostages took a liking to her (Stockholm Syndrome), to help her take over. Then the government got involved, but they already new that time was running out (Time is Running Out, obviously). They didn't know what to do, so they told everyone that it was okay, but secretly, is was not, not at all (Ruled by Secrecy). And, when everyone found out, they got really mad (Fury). Then, we finally went to space, in Black Holes and Revelations, I guess. We found a lot of things, like Starlight, and Supermassive Black Holes, and to help fight against the crazy girl, we made exo-suits for people to fight (Exo-Politics). We also found new technologies and more people to help us (Knights of Cydonia) And then, we started our Resistance against the crazy girl. There was an Uprising from both crazy girl and the government. We also worked on more exo-technology (Exogenesis: Symphony). But, some people realised that it wasn't good for humans (Unnatural Selection) Then the government created some sort of 2nd Law to help us out. They were in Supremacy, above everyone else. Even more people started to go crazy and such and join crazy girl (Madness and Panic Station). Pretty soon, there were riots and anarchy everywhere and people had to survive (Survival), but then, one stepped up and lead the rest of not-crazy people left (Follow Me). This newly formed group explored to find things to help them (Explorers). The government, although in pieces, realised now, that the population was Unsustainable, so they made their own Isolated System to survive. Then, the new group, with their new leader, made a sort of military, but even they all went sort of crazy with their leader, as he was very strict (Psycho). And soon, they all escaped from him (The Handler). And then, crazy girl made Drones to help capture the few left people who weren't on her side (Reapers). With these drones, she captured some of the non-crazy people, and during the capture, they noticed that they weren't just crazy, they were literally Dead Inside. One of the few left people followed one of the drones back to crazy girl, and they captured her, and everything was set back to normal. Or so it seemed. The government came out of hiding, and decided to make clones of the crazy girl, as she had led such an amazing revolution, they needed more to help lead the country. But soon, she figured out, and she ran away (Mercy). She went into complete Revolt against the government, and there was one last war (The Globalist). And then, this is the Aftermath. This is what happened after the war. One lone solider brought everyone back together. Or, I might be completely wrong, and maybe this is just a really great, diverse band, making really great music. Anyway, if you made it this far, thanks for reading. I'm sorry for my bad grammar in some places, but sometimes things are hard to word.

who else is in love with the bass line?

It's been 3 years since I first listening this song And still, this song never failed to make me cry Here I am in 2021 Here we r in 2021, together We've passed a lot of bad things But life still goes on. U r strong without realizing it!!

Tekken and Muse have done it again, bravo.

at 2:09 I actually shed a few tears

this is why muse is so amazing. after an album full of loud hard rock this hauntingly beautiful balad comes on.

This song is actually a wedding song, the lyrics sound like wedding vows.

This is so beautiful, i'm actually crying

Possibly one of the most powerful videos I've ever seen.

Oh wow, what is this? An understandable video, no nudity, no lots of people dancing in the streets. Awesome!!!

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard.

I got tears in my eyes. FUCK WAR

It's a terrible day for rain...

this music is a try not to cry ^^

鉄拳さんのPV…😭 感動した🎌

Incredible! :D I don't know how to say it and I've never lived in a war zone or during a war but I feel like the video shows every part of being in a war, you lose your family, friends, your country, you see people dying and everyone around terrified, and the powerful people don't move a finger to stop that, and instead of giving everyone education, a home and food they are killing us every day, but we can help, we can change and make this world better. Great and beautiful video Muse and Tekken :')

I love it

"From this moment, from this moment, you will never be alone. We're bound together, now and forever, the loneliness has gone."

I never gave Muse much attention until recently, and now I've become a great fan and take in everything they've created so far. I stumbled upon this specific song for the first time today, and it had me sob like a little child... even the second time. in those artwork pictures of destruction I see Mariupol, Charkiw, Kyiv,... truly a heartbreaking experience. The unimaginable suffering of people lost in war is transported so well through the video and the music and I would hope for nothing more dearly than an end to this endlessly cruel war that haunts Ukraine and its citizens at the moment. Stay strong, people of Ukraine, we love you. You will prevail!Слава України!

i'm not crying, there's just something in my eyes.

i cried tooo hard for me bro!!!

Актуально как никогда 😣

Ah dude! This always hits me hard, but during these times, it just hit me harder... 💔💔

what more could I ask of a surprise 5 minute and 47 second video at 4 am in the morning?

The freaking chills

If you're reading this, congratulations, you have good music taste.

I have goosebumps everywhere, after listening to the whole drones before this one it really is beautiful

I like the fact that MUSE make originals songs and use subjects that are usualy avoid by the others. J'aime le fait que MUSE fait des chansons originals et utilise des sujets qui sont souvent évités par les autres.

Need a music video for The Globalist and Drones. Make it a full house ;)

5:22 When you spawn too many mobs in one place and your computer can't handle it

PEACE FOR HUMANITY

Reminds me of Brothers in Arms and Pink Floyd... lovely melody

I love this video and its message. It makes me cry

Just that set of notes at 0:59 has such emotion behind it. It makes me shiver a little everytime I play this song on guitar, no idea why

Thanks, Muse, for the beautiful song! May God protect us all! Slava to Ukraine! With love from Riga, Latvia

im living something similar in my country. this made me cry. I wish we had peace.. it's terrible to go out everyday knowing that you can get murdered any second..

Reminds me of brothers in arms, beautiful song and video

Pucha madre. No dejo de llorar al ver este vídeo Miles de veces me parte el alma el ritmo, la tonalidad y las imágenes de la vida... Épico Muse. Simplemente épico
