MUSE - EXOGENESIS SYMPHONY parts 1, 2 and 3

[@Jonathan-zh4rg]

Classical space rock.. muse forever.. matt is beyond a legend

[@silvermoondrops]

This music is pure genius!! I never get tired of listening to these three symphonies!! Muse is awesome!! Muse rocks!! 💖💖💖

[@jpmarques7]

And classics!

3rd part always leaves me in tears 🥺

[@freakincrod]

Have you watched the animated music video for it?

[@Saraaaaaaaaa63]

Why?

[@loganwilbur5131]

Same. It's not just the sheer beauty... The lyrics to this day still catch me off guard; the direction and form that the song ultimately realizes is so perfect, but somehow (to me) completely unexpected. The climax is so cathartic despite the deeply wounded outcome, the swelling strings and lyrics so powerful, yet impossibly vulnerable. And for all the years of precisely devised metaphors, and carefully layered crypticisms (which reaches its peak in parts 1 and 2 of the symphony, both musically and conceptually)... in the end it all falls to a simple, final thought, which is really more of a hope: 'Let's start over again'. And maybe this idea is possible... "Why can't we start it over, again?" But the hope is really a plea: "Just let us start it over again..." followed by a promise ("and we'll be good..."), an added assurance, a possible stutter ("This time we'll get it... we'll get it right"), because it's not clear how such an outcome could be achieved, only that a new beginning is absolutely necessary ("It's our last chance..."), and then the final words that you really don't see coming, but you instantly know were true all along: "...to forgive ourselves". Matt's words stretch out over many beats, sometimes measures, and the vocals glide over the piano, now steadfastly beating out eighth notes, and underlying both of these is the cyclical pattern of sixteenth notes that the drums have locked into--- everything has converged on this point and there's nothing that can stop where it's all headed. But it all leads to a profoundly simple answer, which is really quite a difficult thing to understand (or at least difficult to explain): Why "forgiving ourselves" is the only way to stop what has happened and reverse the tragic unfolding of events that have led to... this. But I know, it's all so vague. What exactly are we talking about here? And that's where I think Matt's truest genius lies: He is speaking on many different levels simultaneously. I count four. Could be five, maybe it's three, but his way of singing purposeful yet somehow unspecific lyrics allows the many threads and multiple realities he's woven to all be present at the same time at the end. They are: The Exogenesis "science fiction" story told in the symphony, the fate of humanity and our world, a hidden story of the loss of love, and finally the personal story all of us bear inside. This has gotten way too long already, so I won't even go into each of them, or defend the question of self-forgiveness as the answer. But if your personal story has involved a tremendous amount of pain and a journey into a despair that seemed could never be escaped or repaired, well, the personal meaning/interpretation of the song will be clear and it will have a massive impact when you hear it, and I mean *really* hear it. From there, the other interpretations are easy to extrapolate. That's probably why, I'm guessing, me and you and others feel like crying at the end of part 3. [Having said all that, the sound quality of this "remaster" is really awful and if anyone streams the Exo Symphony on Tidal and compares the two versions, they'll be shocked.]

[@freakincrod]

@@loganwilbur5131 Thank you for taking the time to write all of this out. Also, please do go into each story- I would love to see what you have to say. Have you seen the animated video that someone has made for part 3? It's always an emotional listen, but the song accompanied with that video really takes it up a notch.

Just found muse a few months back,been binge listening .muse albums are events .reminds me of early 70s,elp,Emerson,lake n Palmer.2bands, 3 members each,combine the classics in their music,with singers who can rip your heart out and dig deep into your sole.thanks Matt n greg

[@silhouettoofaman2935]

I don't care what anyone says, this will always be Muse's Magnum Opus. Their years of musical excellence have built up to this symphony, and they haven't topped it since.

[@JonathanVachon777]

The whole album is a masterpiece

[@fsyrhiz]

Exogenesis Symphony: La primera parte es una desgarrada aceptación de que la civilización va a terminarse. La parte dos es una desesperada fe en que enviar a los astronautas a encontrar y poblar otros planetas será exitoso como así también el reconocimiento de que esto es la última esperanza. Finalmente, parte tres es cuando los astronautas se dan cuenta de que es sólo un gran cíclo y reconocen que a menos que la humanidad pueda cambiar esto pasará y se repetirá por siempre.

Saw Muse twice in Toronto. Don’t know if this was on the play list but it was spectacular I had to talk my wife into coming, but I had been a big fan for a while so she came. She was, as was I blown away.

Unfortunately muse have never played this in full live. They have played part 1 and part 3 a small handful of times but never 2 as Matt was afraid it wouldn't turn out well. Hopefully someday we will hear this masterpiece live in it's full glory.

[@davidhaynes3126]

@@FIT3Ywe saw them around 2013 in Toronto when they toured with the giant pyramid display. Good seats. Was a Really Great Show. I believe they did some of this album. Saw them again in Toronto 2015. They came with a Giant ballon Robot. I wasn’t as impressed, but still enjoyed.

Thanks for putting this on KZbin 🔑 you know when you find yourself singing it and you have to search extensively for the title 👌🏾🧡 it was actually the last bars of the piano bit on the 3rd track that I couldn't get out of my head🤷🏾‍♀️

Letra de Exogenesis Parte 2: Sube por encima de la multitud,vadea a través de nubes tóxicas Abre la esfera exterior,el borde de todos nuestros temores descansara contigo, contamos contigo,depende de ti Difunde nuestros códigos a las estrellas, debes rescatar a todos nosotros Cuéntanos, cuéntanos tu último deseo, ahora sabemos que nunca volverás Cuéntanos, cuéntanos tu último deseo, se lo diremos al mundo

[@mykeymay]

So nice inspired by Queen ( 'Who wants to live forever', for example )...great song(s)....nice sound...THUMBS UP!

[@ellamierrose1812]

It's funny to me that I rarely ever see anyone mention Queen when talking about Muse. They have different sounds for sure, but Queen has always been one of the bands that came to my mind when thinking of what could have inspired Muses sound.

[@petegaslondon]

The harmonies of Public Enemy and the Political stance of Queen ;) erm, I mean.. lol What's not to like!?

[@Corpus11of10]

Matt has said Freddy was one of major influences. What is a muse anyway?

[@thehimer3903]

12 minutes?? That’s a small symphony I would say
