Muse - Bliss 

"Houston, we've got a problem." "Yeah?" "Matt's in space..."

Fell in love with that intro the first time I heard it. Muse is my fav band ever

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

Everything about you is how I'd wanna be Your freedom comes naturally Everything about you resonates happiness Now I won't settle for less Give me all the peace and joy in your mind Everything about you, pains my envying Your soul can't hate anything Everything about you is so easy to love They're watching you from above Give me all the peace and joy in your mind I want the peace and joy in your mind Give me the peace and joy in your mind Everything about you resonates happiness Now I won't settle for less Give me all the peace and joy in your mind I want the peace and joy in your mind Give me the peace and joy in your mind

"i've been falling for 30 minutes" - loki

Dom and Chris: oh just another day off Matt floating through space, that's our boy.

My mother: "Is he falling down or up?" Me: "There is no up and down in space."

Muse will always be the epitome of cosmic, mysterious and overwhelming music for me.

„Huston, we have a Problem“ „Matt again?“ „Matt again.“

I literally have no words to describe these kinds of songs by Muse . Infinitely galactical ingenious masterpiece .

everything about muse resonates happiness

this song is always so emotionally powerful to me, the chorus always gives me chills. the begging in his voice "give me this peace, and joy in your mind"

Am i the only one who thinks literally every Muse song is awesome?

So this is how Matt got to Earth...

Lyrics - Everything about you is how I'd wanna be Your freedom comes naturally Everything about you resonates happiness Now I won't settle for less Give me All the peace and joy in your mind Everything about you pains my envying Your soul can't hate anything Everything about you is so easy to love They're watching you from above Give me All the peace and joy in your mind I want the peace and joy in your mind Give me the peace and joy in your mind Everything about you resonates happiness Now i won't settle for less Give me All the peace and joy in your mind I want the peace and joy in your mind Give me the peace and joy in your mind

Matt Belamy and his brilliant musical brain.

Bliss always puts me in a mood I can't quite describe.

I grew up listening to muse, my parents introduced me to them. our dog was called Bliss, may he Rest in peace 🙏 I love this song so much

I can't explain how much I love this song, I always come back to it every once in a while

The first shooting stars meme was made by Muse...wow

This video was burned into the mind of little three year old me, who watched it along with his elder brother. Fascinated by this nonsense - foreign languages do that - that the mysterious bright red-haired man was singing, I dreamed of the spatial station-like cushion interior or of this pit long's fall more times than I can count. And I remember truly pondering how he fell to space, and wondering if that could be done in real life. As well as being scared and curious to do it myself. I remembered all of that only two years ago, when he showed me the video again. Man, the nostalgia rush that was.

An exceptionally powerful song. Celestially surreal and energetic. Arguably one of the best rock songs of the last two decades.

This was the time that Matt saw a Supermassive black hole

This video. It’s like you’re falling into your love’s eyes and keep falling and falling and discover a whole universe filled with stars, lights, colours and everything you were looking for.

My dad produced Origin of Symmetry :D

Muse is to me, the most consistently adaptive band I've ever heard, and the one with the most sincere message. This band has more of my tears and sweat than any other entity in my life

muse always have mind blowing music videos

2017 and I still eargasm listening to this. One of my favorite song ever

Matt disintegrating into the star was awesome.

2:55 when you break bedrock in creative mode

The first song I heard from them, I was half asleep, it actually felt like some weird dream, I didn't even know who they were back then, but I became a fan as soon as I found out who they were. Still my favorite Muse song.

Everything about this song is so easy to love ❤

BEST SONG EVER

This song is their best song. It's a complete masterpiece. It's also in their best album origin of symmetry. I've known muse since 2004. I met Matt and Dom in 2006. Anyways here is a quote that will free you: "Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think. Joy follows a pure thought like a shadow that never leaves." - Buddha

Towards the end of the song, is like the song itself just sings to your soul, taking away all the troubles that surround you. Just closing your eyes, hearing the final end of the song, is like taking you somewhere far away, away from the hell of the world, into a sea of calm and beauty.

How do I even describe how this music makes me feel? *insert Keyboard-smash*

This song gives me shivers. Ahhhh. It is almost cathartic.

Clip producer: How far do you want to fall? Matt: Yes

I can explain how much i love this song... Simply Muse

first song i've heard from muse. my life is complete.

Just let yourself go and enjoy the ride. This is one of Muse many masterpiece songs and this one is a gem.

Vocals, guitar, bass, drums. All spot on. Muse ticks all the boxes 😊👍

Imagine this song came up in 70s or 80s it would be blow our minds.

Just three arppegiated chords( Cm, B flat, Fm) - I can't believe that they create such beauty. A very innocent sounding song compared to the very heavy and dark sound dominant on Origin of Symmetry.

Matthew sends me into a state of pure Bliss with that gorgeous voice of his.

Muse had such high production standards. Not many bands have ever equalled them in that respect for me.

Happy 20 years Bliss ❤️

i was 15 when this came out...30 now....sigh...i miss yesterday. Oh bitter sweet nostaliga

Muse is so freakin awesome.

I loved how they used that note at 3:55 sparingly and waited to use it. You know there was just something in me itching for that note to hit in the song then they finally deliver. Thats what i love about them. They keep you subconsciously waiting for something you dont even know is about to pop up in the song. Like on new born the first time i heard it i was so excited when the dirty distortion dropped in as i love grunge music

Eve of my half century. I feel bloody old, but thankful I'm still here. Thank you Muse, you've been with me through my breakdown and my best of times. #50

this song is just BLISS When I listen to Muse I forget all my problems ! Love you Muse !

I know Muse for ten years I think, but I still can't rank any of their songs. Every single one is unique and has something others don't. Please tell me that I'm not alone xD.

Who's listening to this in 2021 is a muse legend !!❤️

This has always been my favorite Muse song, Change my mind.

This song is so great it gives me the piss and joy out of pure excitement

This song was so much ahead of its time that it's still a banger even today.

Still one of my favorite songs of all time💯

I FALL IN LOVE WITH M U S E

this song makes me feel like i'm in space too! one of their best, alongside with knights of cydonia and stockholm syndrome.

13 years ago today came out this masterpiece...time flies!

I never get tired of this song..

Bliss is my favorite Muse song and one of my favorites from anyone, ever. It's masterful.

I just refound Muse.. I love it. Every single song of em.. all of it..

when u fall off ur bed

2:38 gives me freakin chills. Breath taking! Everything about MUSE is so easy to love.

This never gets old. 2022 and it's still fresh

that intro smells like bliss spirit

I can't stop coming back to this song, it's so beautiful

Legend has it, if you jump, as you fall into nothingness you experience a state pure bliss. The people who don’t want to die watch from the anti-gravity chambers, trying to simulate the feeling. They watch him take the leap, the biggest act of freedom a person can take. Control of their death, and giving it all to feel the pure bliss. And so he falls into nothingness, and legend was right, it was indescribable beauty and bliss… he dies with a smile on his face.

Coming back to Muse after some years is magic. I grew up with them when I couldnt even speak English or understand the lyrics. So happy to be back

the ending of this song is like your soul travelling through the universe,souls don't need air,food and is unaffected by gravity etc so don't be afraid of dying

Their music is so healing for my body and soul...

For me, one of the best muse songs. The atmosphere is incredible

These guys are a pure treasure. Definetly worth it seeing them live. Matt has a hell of a voice. 🔥🔥🔥

Top Gear!!!

Such a great song! When I first heard it I felt like I've heard it somewhere before... I had the same feeling with Mercy, Undisclosed desires, New born, Starlight, etc. But this song is something special...

Finding your true essence there. Infinite bliss. ✨❤️

This is absolutely my favourite song. And it's even the first song I've heard and discovered them. I was 13 years old. Listen to it, resuscitate such memories in my head...

"Everything about you resonates happiness." I love this so much.

This song just made me burst into tears in class....... it's so fucking incredible.

This is the best song to listen to on a train and just watch the scenery go by.

This album, abstract, black holes and revelations, and resistance are masterpiece of art

I love this song because it makes me think of my best friend. He is such a cool person. Everyone who meets him likes him. He projects happiness onto everyone he meets. I feel blessed to be his friend. I also feel unworthy because he is so much better than I am. It got to the point where I stopped talking to him because I felt like I didn't deserve him. A few months later I had a long chat with him over a couple of beers. The message I got from him was that he feels the same way about me as I feel about him. The grass is always greener on the other side. It's easy to look at someone who looks happy and think "Why can't I have that?" You don't realise that people look at you and think the same thing.

How can this have only 11 million?

Sorry but this videoclip makes me think about depression. A hole where you fall and you take so much time to go out from it. Indeed this song speaks about happy subjects. Love this song ❤

When he hits those high notes it always gives me goosebumps 🤯

This is the best song ever made period.

I wonder if he waved to Darth Maul on his way down.

G I V E M E T H E P I S S

I was SO happy to hear this song LIVE during Drones tour in Canada. When I heard the first notes I was like... I can not describe what I felt. I was never hoping to whittness it live (I discovered Muse in 2011-ish when they almost never played these songs), but it happened, I heard it live, and I will never forget that. I heard it LIVE. Aaand Citizen Erased during another show. I went to three shows in a row. One in Toronto, after that I travelled to Montreal to see another two concerts. And I was in the crowd in the first row, at the barrier, during both of the shows. And I saw Bliss and Citizen Erased LIVE. It felt like I could have died there, what an experience

this is a metaphore for a desperate unshared love.anyone who knows the feeling i'm sure agrees with me.awesome song!

I found this song about a few years ago, and I honestly don't know how to say this, but the words, not just a few lines, but all of them, is exactly what I am like, it made me cry when my bf first played it for me. He told me when he first met me, that Bliss was his theme song, and about me. Ive spent countless years meditating, and ive been void of hate for 4 years now. When I tell people that they laugh at me, but I only have one response, and as a pre-response to any trolls or haters: "If you only knew what I know." and any further comments will be met with a redundant *shrugs* "meh"

this song is absolute perfection in every way

This. This is the best of all times. I love it. I can't express how much I love it. I am genuinely grateful that this song exists

I can't stop looking at the vein in his forehead...I'm just like...damn...calm down, bro. You're gonna pop it.

This is honestly such a beautiful and surreal song? I love it so much, and tbh it’s like in my top 5

que bien se siente volver a escuchar todos los albumes, teniendo tiempo en esta epoca de cuarentena!

We ❤ Matthew Bellamy, Dominic Howard& Christ, Muse is the best Band👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Matt's so cool, his hair is blown in the wind even if he's in the vacuum of space.
