Muse - JFK + Defector [Official Lyric Video]

[@muaddibz]

[@shreyabellamy7281]

I agree about the main singles being the worst! I hated Dead Inside, but gotta say that Reapers is fucking brilliant despite being a single.

[@julieruby40]

Ikr?! I kept listening to it. It is so awesome and illuminating. It's on a continuous loop in iTunes

Yeah, this or the Handler I remember getting hyped when this released!!

[@georgeorwell5126]

My top: 01. JFK/Defector 02. The Globalist 03. Drones 04. Psycho 05. Reapers

I'm really liking what Muse is releasing so far. I think this is gonna be one of Muse's best albums. :)

[@jenisinjapan]

***** Nope, not yet. I'm waiting for the album to be released in my country. :) That's a shame then, but their releases sound so good though! Some people disliked 'Mercy' too, but I liked it, so hopefully when I get to listen to the album, I'll like it as much as these other songs. :P

[@basslightyeah]

The "aweful second half" is actually only 1/3 of the Album. Dead Inside, Drill Seargent, Psycho, Mercy, Reapers, The Handler, JFK, Defector. That's 8 tracks, the Album has 12 as a whole. I'm not a Genius in math, but that's really simple, isn't it?

[@basslightyeah]

***** You're talking about Absolution? ^^

[@basslightyeah]

***** No problem. Called Origin of Symmetry "Origins of the Symmetry" a while ago.

[@jenisinjapan]

***** It's okay, that's just your opinion, I'm still excited to listen to this new album though. :) Funny enough, the worst album for me was The 2nd Law. As much as I love Chris, I didn't like his songs in that album. Btw, were there Chris songs in the new album? :o I hope not.

[@jantuijp]

I do!!! It's lyrical, evocative, utterly amazingly beautiful and IMHO worth a symphony on its own! It's the main reason I keep playing this song over and over again. Once the solo sets in, my heart jumps up. Total BRILLIANTNESS!!!! (Which, to my surprise, actually turns out to be a word.)

Completely accurate. This song and its music is calling people to question what they’ve taken for granted for years and see the truth of the world and then to step into a future where you are your own hero. The man behind the TV is being wiped away and mankind is becoming free again. It is a glorious thing.

The speech that got JFK killed, it was his effort to tell everyone what was actually going on. This has to be one of the greatest intros to a song I've ever heard...wow.

[@jumhed994]

It was a speech to the press about their reporting of the Bay of Pigs fiasco. He was basically saying, 'What are you trying to do? Undermine the free world?' So this speech has been taken out of context for this song.

[@user-uv1rr5xk8i]

@@jumhed994 no. It's about the secret societies. Skull and bones, knights of Malta, Freemasons ECT. That's what he means when he refers to "secret oaths".

[@andresara4711]

It was not all about that speech but the executive order #11110 that got him killed.

[@jumhed994]

@@user-uv1rr5xk8i No, it's about Soviet communism during the height of the Cold War and just after the Bay of Pigs disaster. The press were giving the US government a hard time, and this speech was his response. Fact is, the Western way of life is opposed around the world. When JFK says 'We', he's referring to us who live here. You've only got to look in this era of 'fake news' that this stuff is still going on. So this song is pro-West.

[@user-uv1rr5xk8i]

@@jumhed994 you haven't heard the entire speech.. he talks of "secret oaths" this has nothing to do with the cold war. He wanted to end the fed, he spoke out about splintering the CIA and he spoke out against the secret societies. This is why many people within his reach were targeted as well.

[@eli_croft]

Sixx Liner I can completely agree. I haven't disliked a single song from any of their albums so far. Every is good in it's own unique way. People are expecting Muse to make songs like they used to, and while they may have said it themselves, they are constantly evolving musically. If all of the lyrics are "meaningless" and "boring", then they must have a reason behind doing that. I love everything on this album so far, from the heavy rock songs like Reapers & The Handler, to all the new things they are trying, like Dead Inside and Mercy. In the end, they're just trying to appeal to a larger audience. While people are entitled to their own opinion, they shouldn't be judging the music so harshly. I can't wait to hear the rest, and should be receiving the Deluxe Edition any day now. Muse are an amazingly talented band, and whatever they're doing right now, they're doing right :)

[@milasto2]

Spetsnaz Beaver The album is already on my phone

[@spetsnazbeaver]

Andrew Russell I loved Aftermath. Very different than the Muse we're used to but that's Muse for you isn't it, throwing curveballs, that's why we love em. It was a very beautiful ballad if slightly repetitive near the middle, a low 8 on that one. Mostly agree on Globalist though I thought it mostly worked. The Morrecone/spaghetti western intro up to the heavy part was flawless. The heavy part should have either been shortened due to repetitiveness (an ever present theme throughout the album) or they should have played around the riff more to make that part interesting. The outro did it's job just fine, nothing special though. I like to listen to Globalist with Drones since I see them almost like one song since they flow together so well. Of you look at it that way Drones makes musical sense and criticism evaporates. Try it. Revolt on the other hand, well, if they release it we have ourselves a kill list of the people that would give this aural holocaust a like.

[@AR-uj2qb]

Hahaha that Revolt comment!

[@samredbond6004]

I don't understand why every critic and some fans of Muse give out so much about lyrics. Every time a new song releases everyone says the lyrics have to be the deepest lyrics ever. Some songs don't need amazing lyrics. Like for loads of rock bands nobody cares about lyrics just the music. The lyrics for the songs on Drones aren't even bad if you get what they're talking about. Also for me the globalist is a brilliant composition for anybody out there who is wondering if it was just really overhyped

[@TheOliverthecat]

Sam Redbond Well Muse did have a track record for above average lyrics so I can see why people complain, especially to the second verse "your belly is yellow"? Though I am not to fused with the lyrics, I am disappointed but it doesn't ruin the song.

[@TheOliverthecat]

***** I know what they meant, but they are pretty ridiculous lyrics, and are hard to take seriously.

[@psychichorse7368]

PsychicHorse Ok, I just listened to Revolt, and now I'm sure my comment is right. The final third won't come close to this part. But Revolt isn't a bad song, it's just not what most people want from Muse, it's a pop song.

[@BeansWithHam]

I personally really enjoy Revolt. It's the kind of song that invokes a warm feeling inside you (for me anyways).

[@CaptainChocolatePig]

It's not a pop song. Just because a song has a more positive melody does not automatically make it pop. It's still a rock song, it's just not the 'heavy' rock 'Muse fans' want.

[@bogdan2805]

PsychicHorse The middle third > The first third >> The final third... Revolt is a mess, in my opinion, because of it sounds so happy and mellow and it just doesn't belong with the darkness of the previous 8 tracks. Plus, the lyrics are... meh. The highlight of the final third is the first 5 minutes of The Globalist... after that, it goes to shit.

[@Consume_Crash]

PsychicHorse Revolt is one of my favorite songs on the album and Drones if a fun little song. Globalist and Aftermath aren't the best though

when you wright a new song the LAST thing you wanna hear is someone who says "it's remind me of ..." Every song is unique and has a different vibe and story to tell. Just enjoy it!

[@Mystro256]

MARK K. I completely disagree, it invokes a lot of pleasant nostalgic memories, and I mean it completely in a flattering light. I'm too much of a muse fan not to enjoy it, and their uniqueness of their song writing is actually what draws me in.

[@leonotonglo4461]

This is music; a great song backed by a powerful message.

[@spydragon7609]

Do u mean FUCKING AWESOME!

[@adriennebatty3787]

I've liked Muse for a little over three months now...I've got all their albums except Drones on my iPod. The Handler was the third or fourth song of theirs I listened to, got it on my iPod immediately. Then I listened to Mercy, loved it...Then Dead Inside, that freaking moment around 3:10 my god...I wasn't planning on listening to Psycho due to the curse words in the chorus but it managed to suck me in, I've learned it on guitar already...and then I heard the song 'Drones', that a capella thing...wow. I listened to Reapers, didn't care for it except for that riff in the chorus. The Globalist: there aren't even words for that. I haven't yet listened to Aftermath nor Revolt yet. But yesterday - I heard this one. It's so freaking awesome I can't stop listening to it. THAT "PWOBLEM" THING IS SO STINKING CUTE. It's going to be the next song I learn on guitar. Muse is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. We moved away from my home state and Muse has been the only light in my life so far. These dorks have supported me and kept me sane. Thank you.

We seem to forget that this a concept album. Green Day doesn't get shit for American Idiot because the lyrics make sense in the entire album. They aren't trying to write poetry, just tell a story.

[@system0fadowner251]

***** lol more a Rock Opera, but yes.

[@mattberry5382]

I think American Idiot is a great album, certainly a masterpiece, but I am aware it copped some criticism for GD focusing too much on the lyrics and not the music enough, which I think is the opposite to Drones, more music less lyrics...which either way, isn't necessarily a bad thing. I'd love to see Drones with a defined character, AI had Jesus of Suburbia, The Wall (PF) had Pink, I reckon Drones should have one (although it's good it leaves it to your creativity)

[@aarondawson5556]

David Hudson no, American Idiot is a concept album, it follows the story of of a teenager in the aftermath of 9/11

[@mattberry5382]

Aaron Dawson it's a rock opera and a concept album lol...

[@aarondawson5556]

Matt Berry its only now a 'rock opera' because of the musical they made... If your just going straight of the album, its just a concept album

[@chatochafa130]

How is this possible. Music is not dead. Muse just proved it. This album's going to be decade defining.

[@giggityguy]

definitely great music on this one, but i think i've figured out what's been bothering me about the new stuff: the vocals are written like speech, not like music. there's no poetry to them

[@foreverwantingpie]

Exactly! !

[@sambatan7034]

giggityguy Yeah that's a perfect way to explain it! It's not bad but I miss the way Matt and company played with the words to get the meaning out. I feel like the producer they worked with might have had more influence in the making of this album than others in the past have.

[@tamaskerekes2186]

giggityguy man. i thought the same. thats what i find the new songs a bit strange.. the lyrics is not the same.. it is because of the new mania of Matt.. that Drones, Illuminati, fuck-politics-.. ect stuff.. you have to listen it over and over again.. and you ll get used to it :) btw, the songs are great still

[@MyBliss]

giggityguy Thats pretty much on points. That is so far the only problem i have with this album too. It makes it so much more repetitive. Hope that changes, once i listened to the whole thing.

[@MrHorsesmouth]

giggityguy I've noticed it doesn't bother me as much when I just don't look at the lyric videos. The words shouldn't be seen. To be honest, I never really listened to Muse for the words, I've got Leonard Cohen and such for that.. I've always liked Muse for their distinctive sound!

[@halfbean9668]

Perfect, absolutely perfect song.

[@avibank]

Wow, its been a while since they did such a cool progression

[@syndddd]

avi bank I know right! The progressions for Dead Inside and Mercy are so boring and generic.. This is what I'm talking about!

[@syndddd]

***** Agreed! I Love the progression at that part! Really unique!

[@franciscosotoaparicio2171]

***** from what i heard, it seems like.... iv - i (maybe in first inversion) - vii7b/V - V7 ... the vii7b/V could be a V7/V or maybe a tritone sub for that, but all those stand for the same, to emphasize the function of the chord theyre preceeding. Sorry for my english hahaha, hope it helps you.

[@bgtcsjm]

What recent events you're referring to?

[@susanaduarteraposo]

COVID, for example. This is just one of many. Read the speech very carefully. It’s very actual, despite 60 years old. JFK was too honest to be a politician and was killed by his own government (FBI, CIA and secret services). That’s the price you pay when you go against the “institution “. It’s not by chance that we see in this video a picture of the Waren committee (I think), the ones who covered up the president’s assassination with a “patsy”. Further investigation was not allowed! Conspiracy Theorist? Always. because I think for myself. There are more MUSE songs about this. MUSE speaks out the truth through their music. I am a 100% conspiracy theorist because I don’t buy what those in power make us believe what the truth is. It’s NEVER the truth. It’s NEVER for our own good or safety. Only a fool would believe in them. “The dumber, the better and easier to control” right? They just want people who don’t question, don’t ask, don’t speak! Listen “COMPLIANCE” and “PSYCHO” from MUSE…. That’s what they want us to be….AYE SIR AYE SIR….get ready for the next mass control with a new pandemic in 2025. Mark my words.
