Origin of symmetry VIBES 🌱

[@anaallanpoe7308]

Anda Gema jaja, totalmente. Acabo de ver tu vídeo de cómo les conociste y me alegra tanto como si hubiera sido yo!!!

[@gyanellajulcadavila969]

Bueno MUSE siempre está en constante evolución sacando nuevas cosas , nuevos estilos , no solo es Origin of symmetry

[@Nystagmuses]

The mix of official tracks + alternative versions is gonna make this album sounds amazing. Muse, the best band ever

[@TheLuxkywalker]

Hyper Music / Hyper Chondriac Music

[@ScantaniouslyCombust]

Even when I heard the original version I thought exactly this. This version totally could be on Origins or Showbiz!

[@Weathersohot]

This version is actually the complete opposite in my opinion. The original is showing how Matt is fed up and seriously trying to break out. But this version is like showing the inside of what he’s feeling and how he’s been suffering but he can only show the other version of him from the original version. The original is like “Screw this I’m breaking out” but this version is like saying “Please let me break out it hurts a lot” from deep down inside. The music speaks itself. What an art.

[@meepmoopmusic]

damn

[@dianeaishamonday9125]

I have always connected this song to my own struggles with mental illness, so I cannot agree more 💜

[@Weathersohot]

@@dianeaishamonday9125 I probably have the same problem as you. Sometimes, people claim to have that because they think that theyre life are more horrible so they need the attention of pity. But i highly respect the people who got one..

[@taytayaxolatte]

@@dianeaishamonday9125 Always ? It just came out tho..

[@Chico50445]

That is the exact interpretation I got from the 2 versions. Also if you listen to Daniel Ferri's one man band cover of The Handler here on youtube, and compare it to the original, I think it is that exact same contrast. Its amazing how music can take the same lyrics to different emotions.

[@clay7181]

His voice clear as hell

[@miguelpereira9859]

As usual

[@CosminCRT]

I don't think hell is the best comparison.

[@tunderstorm2769]

[@KitsuNerezza]

Reminds me of the contrast between Hyper Music and Hyperchondriac Music, it sounds so soothing!

[@diegopozas1694]

Same here. They seem to have gone for that idea with the "alternate reality" versions in this album. Really really interesting.

[@alexandergunn5143]

I totally agree, I was going to comment the same

[@EmilyExplosion27]

100% agree. Would be even better if it was slower. But so lovely. Hyper Music is my #1 favorite song, and Hypochondriac Music just rips out my heart. (So now they're on my sadness playlist together.)

[@TheLuxkywalker]

I came here to comment this

[@the_windblow]

So did I. This one and the original one feel ripped straight from a lost session from OoS. Much like "Animals" was a piece of the Absolution era lost in The 2nd Law. I feel like I have waited almost 20 years for this exact song

[@idontneedthisplease]

Took a day-off to consume all of this beautiful content. Muse day.

[@citizenerased174]

You took a day off to listen to Muse? Now that's dedication my good man.

[@valinypse]

Best day ever.

[@EmilyExplosion27]

I made an executive decision to take today off work because I'm sick and I need rest. Then I was kindly reminded it was Simulation Theory day. Psh. Rest? Guess how many times I've listened to this song alone. (It's 4 so far)

[@Askyl]

@@citizenerased174 I can listen to music at work and I think I had ST on repeat for 8 straight hours ^^

[@justjc51]

As an introvert, trying to break out of the safety of being alone this version brings me to tears every time I listen. Tears because I realise I just need to find that someone special, and give her a chance to get to a better place.

[@Metalwrath2]

lmao

[@paczy]

Ok, it's official: The acoustic versions of The Void and The Dark Side are my favorite new Muse songs. It's so awesome, so original, so beautiful, so Muse.

[@cindy4883]

I don’t know if this is the real meaning of the song, but it is for me. Never has a song spoken so deeply in my soul like this one. I’m struggling with depression, anxiety and anorexia and this is just exactly the way I feel. Thank you muse, for sharing your feelings with us and touching us so deeply.

[@amberlynnadams3744]

All love and healing to you... dance your fears away... I do this, my soul leads the way. Blessings

[@ab-rm8bv]

Fans have cried for "old" muse for years. I hope tracks like this and others on the album please them. This album is the perfect mix of old, new, and weird.

[@miguelpereira9859]

I can't get over how DAMN GOOD this vocal line is. Like, one of their best ever

[@madviper677]

3:16 I had goosebumps. Matt's voice 👌

[@cleitonlisboa3577]

Came here after watching the trailer for The Woman in the Window. Can't wait to see Amy Adams eating up that role as Anna Fox. (And how come I didn't heard this song before? It's amazing!)

[@miralex67]

You should also listen to the original version

[@cleitonlisboa3577]

And I have!!! Both are amazing. But this one fascinates me the most. I think it's because it's linked to the trailer.

[@mikekelly9668]

mishelle rosa how did you see it?

[@lexye.]

The two versions have a completely different impact on me, wth

[@amaracea]

Alexandra Ramos This version is much more dark, and sad. The original version is like, revisiting it but in a way where you’re very serious about breaking out and fed up with it

[@guferus763]

My thoughts exactly. This one sounds so sad ;_; it's the flashed out piano that hits so hard

[@skotty253]

This is how I feel with The Void too. The Alternate Reality version is just so much darker. I love it.

[@SeraphimMessenger]

Your so right

[@Stella-vp5zg]

Amaracea totally! Both version are amazing, but they’re so different even tough it’s the same song actually

[@SparkieNeisti]

And this is why I defended Muse over the past year. Sell outs my ass. Beautiful music.

[@antroidi7283]

I dont know, do you?

[@TeamLegacyFTW]

Yes.

[@valinypse]

I prefer the original, it has more power... But this one is just wonderful and i'm glad that they did more than just one version of this masterpiece.

[@kemuelchavarria805]

It's pretty hard to decide which one is better, both songs are truly wonderful masterpieces, Matt's voice on both ones is just freaking incredible.

[@Stella-vp5zg]

Kems Ch_05 exactly! The original version is more dynamic and makes you fell like you actually want to break out, and the alternate reality version is so much more dark and sad!

[@zulhanapamungkas5543]

Muse B-sides vibe

[@cynzix]

Love the surf vibes from the guitar. It reminds me of some Frusciante's solos and riffs.

[@MexicanSlash9]

It's as if I have traveled back in time to my teen angst years and I'm listening to muse for the first time. The song perfectly encapsulates Muse going back to its origins, but at the same time using sounds from all the albums they created

[@brodiemacleod69]

Original: some one breaking out, fighting hard to be set free, making progress, power full Alternative version: someone defeated, failed, asking to be set free, desperate

[@thorty8233]

This sounds sooo good. If they combined this version with the original version of this song it would sound even better. They should attempt this combination of both versions live

[@GMeza-cy5xv]

I thought the same, this with the speed of the other version. Boths are great

[@wilfordcollingridge4586]

Man I cried, this is really something else, It just hit the chords of my heart and it is such a relatable piece... Thankyou

[@sehzbeatbox4960]

I love that music is a universal thing that all human beings love. We’re all different, across the world we have different cultures, beliefs, habits, etc…but even people who simply dislike music have at least a song or two that they’ll listen to. We are all one whole, and yet we fight with each other more violently than any other force in reality. The thought of that, to me; the knowledge that if we weren’t all so greedy, arrogant, and sinful, that we could all live together in peace, that all would be equal, and that world peace would not be a distant hope, but rather a euphoric reality. But because that’s untrue, we all live together in this world, galaxy, universe, and we fight each other by the masses, blindly, to the death.

[@carlosxavierlopezmoreno4430]

I'm glad the vocals are different in this version. Muse's effort in this album is insane!

[@aquariusbrat]

This is the kind of Muse music I grew to love and appreciate. This makes me miss their Origin of Symmetry and Absolution era so much!

[@rot_studios]

The Hyperchrondriac version of The Dark Side. Now I have both versions to be addicted to! :D

[@Joshaloo]

That is the perfect comparison :D I love it so much

[@danielbate7652]

Muse should tour just the orchestral versions of there songs *BUT* instead of a concert it would be a sit down show with a live orchestra

[@bieberslatins94]

I guess this is what angels play when you're entering heaven, is too much remarkable ethereal.

[@zenith7024]

[@DDendrite2]

Watching this one and the other version back to back is so cathartic.

He hails from the dark side, death follows him. You'd be scared if you had to live with his despair. He just wants to run from it all. He's like fire and ice and rage.
