Muse - Bliss (Live 8 2005) 

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

Here in 2023. The falsetto at the end is truly incredible. Wish Matt recorded it in the studio.

Dom Howard is one of the best underrated rock drummers out there who can keep up with the time hands down

3:10 BEST FALSETTO EVER 😍🔥

Best Bliss performance, best falsetto, best sounding drums, everything played to absolute perfection

THE VOCALS THE VOCAAIAIAIAIAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!

Best performance of Bliss

I keep watching this, his falsetto is truly incredible

My family when I have online lessons in this quarantine: 3:12

Here for that unreal falsetto.

I remember watching this live and I saw matt fell on the stage while playing this song at 1:30 . And Chris trying to hold in his laughter

I've always loved that kicking bassline by Chris. Dom always electrifies me. Oh, that falsetto and the blue sensation on Matt's guitar are beautiful.

Extreme goosebumps

Just beautiful. A gorgeous day, the summer breeze rippling through Matt's hair. The best song ever, those vocals 😍 Wish I had been there.

Matt was on fucking fire that night. Best live act of all time.

J'étais à ce concert dans les gradins, et je me rappelle que Muse avait mis le feu, c'était la meilleure performance ce jour là ❤❤❤ j'en avais des frissons !

Still here in 2022. This performance is everything.

Who's still loving this in 2021 ?

that falsetto it simply the best live falsetto ever in history. no one can prove me wrong

When Matt Bellamy screams, my soul soars.

We need Live 8 again to recover from this pandemic

being stuck in quarantine and watching this makes me feel some kind of way

Matt looks soooo good in white

BEAUTIFUL!

Tüylerim diken diken ağlıycam ya, şu günlerde ben daha 7 yaşındaymışım ve o kadar üzgünüm ki böyle günleri kaçırdığım için. Rock müziğin değer gördüğü, her yerde rap seslerinin yükselmediği günlerde genç olabilmeyi deli gibi isterdim.

I was born on this day!

Chris doesnt get the recognition he deserves

the bass on 3:23 flies awaaaaaayyyyyy!!

KING! THANK YOU!

Respect! xXx

Enorme cancion👏🏾👏🏾. ... Y yo enamorado de tí.

J'y étais et c'était super

Yesss

The king...

Fell head over heals for this band back in 2002. Especially the Hullaboo DVD. Saw them live in 2004 at Pink Pop, in Holland. Also the only band, in my opinion, that took some of the vibes that Queen had and placed them in another dimension. I slowly grew out of my fascination, because, as it often is with popular bands, once they hit the big public, the fun is gone. Imo anyways. They couldn't really "renew" themselves. Kept buying the albums up to "the Resistance", have HAARP also. Live in Glastonbury.

MUSE TE AMO SOS O MEJOR *LLORA DE LA EMOCIONE*
