Knights Of Cydonia lyrics
Come ride with me
Through the veins of history
I'll show you how god
Falls asleep on the job
And how can we win
When fools can be kings
Don't waste your time
Or time will waste you
No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

k - hear me out on this one ... listen to the Knights of Cydonia about 1 min into the song
http://www.myspace.com/muse
and compare it to "Bastians Happy Flight" from The Never Ending Story
http://www.myspace.com/theneverendingstorysoundtrack
It has the same feel to me - call me crazy, they have a similar galloping feel....

I think this album should not be compared with the previous albums. Its simply different and their lyrics are almost the most important thing. I share with you that I've been watching interviews and conferences of Alex Collier on youtube and its incredible how the lyrics of this last album coincides in so many points with that.
I recommend you see it. Or maybe its quite famous and you've already seen it.

More so than Queen, this song reminds me of a couple of famous film scores. The guitar/trumpet section after the "Aaaah"s sounds just like Ennio Morricone's Fistful of Dollars trilogy. Also, the "No one's gonna take me alive" section has a synth arpeggio which sounds like part of Philip Glass's score for Koyaanisqatsi. I reckon these two sections are a deliberate homage. Cowboys of Cydonia?

Hi. I think there is nobody will ever read this.
Actually I can read russian (coz i am Russian) and
originally Ellicia said on russian:
I love them because there is a lot of good feelings to see that Europeans make a good music in America.

Absolute brilliance, (yes i am one of those people who never really listened to muse before gh3), but Oh My God, these guys have talent, and the lead singer is beyond belief. Poifect.

this is possibly the most bad-ass song ever. right after the second chorus when it busts into that riff, premature ejaculation ensued.

Ok... not that anyone will ever read this, or even care, but this post is to "Oscuro" and is just a rough translation of what Ellica said:
Я люблю �?то, �?то имеет хорошие чув�?тва, чтобы видеть, что европейцы делают хорошую музыку в �?мерике. ;)
Rough translation [Russian to English]:
I love??to??to has good chuv??tva in order to see that the Europeans make a good music into??merike.;)
BTW, all I did was put it through an online translator. :)

i think muse are like queen a lot, LIKE!! they dont SOUNDlike them, theyre different just like queen were. and anyone who thinks muse are crap should really go see them live, and trust you pre madonna music critics to say that muse are copying queen, dont be stupid for christ sake if your going to say that you may as well call mozart the inventor of music, just because it sounds like it doesnt mean its a refference, i call it co-incidence where 2 bands stumble over the same great sounding riff

They opened with this song at Wembley on the 16th... They extended the intro til it was nearly 4 minutes long. I nearly creamed myself all the way through it. Epic song, epically played and performed by Matt, Chris and Dominic.

Amazing song. This song alone got me back into the whole Muse addiction. And i just went outand bought Origin of Symmetry and Black Hole & Revelations. Then soon after i learned the original recording of this song will be included in Guitar Hero III!!

First thing I thought when I saw the preview for Ghost Rider: This should be on the soundtrack. Sound effects, lyrics, and tone of the song are perfect for it.

Some Morricone feeling in this song indeed...Well observed Filipe ; Queen ?? mmmmm no. If you want to find similarity you ll find though.
And it makes me think of Air too, weirdly or not that weird actually.
The multi voice part is brilliant, like a hard sun.
lynne 0 points
Muse are amazing-matt bellamy is brilliant at everything he does-especially songwriting! I love all their albums-have to say knights of cydonia fantastic-and ive heard it played all way through on radio-once!to those who dont like muse fair enough-but why are you bothering to read about them?doh!dont waste your time haha!
Filipe 0 points
But hey, there's nothing wrong about having refferences to your own music. It's a great album, with songs like those I mentioned (other faves would be "Death on two legs" and "The Prophet Song"), by a band with songs that are everlasting. Muse is a great band, they have awesome musicianship, and perhaps one day they'll attain that same level as Queen rightfully earned.
Filipe 0 points
But it does sound a bit like "'39", particularly the choir (which has a "western" feel to it). It's a stomp, not a rocker, anyway Matt probably listened a lot to "A Night at the Opera", one time or another. The riff on the final section of the song has a sort of "attack" which seems a tid bit like the riff at the end of "Bohemian Rhapsody" (right after Freddie sings "Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me"), another track from "A Night at the Opera".

Hello.
I was actually curious if anyone else thought that there might be reminescences of Queen on this one, which is the reason I'm now here.
Love both bands.
Stefan 0 points
I don't really get the reference to Queen, yeah a tiny bit of the choir might have sounded a bit like something Queen once did, but that's about it. To me it sounds just as much like The Who.
When that's said, I've gotta admit that I don't fancy this song. Nowhere as good as the stuff from Origin Of Symmetry.

If anything there is a Thin Lizzy influence especially when they break in to the lead solo about four minutes into the song. Even the dramatic lyrics seem a little TL influenced.

Shut up, Katerina, I am not going to sink to your level and trade insults, but if you actually read my post, you will see that I thought it might be Russian, idiot. Quote:
"........Ok, can anyone read modern Greek (Russian?) and tell me what Ellica said? I get the last bit is "music in America", but the rest..."
LEARN TO READ, and also take some lessons in punctuation.

Muse is Muse and no more. Truly the best band around the world, and the best of our times from UK.
Unfortunately, they will never come here. but this band is great, and it will be never compared to anything.

this is for Zaphod Beeblebrox :
how can u say such things about muse???
maybe u should give up...the first album of muse i had listened to was black holes and revelations and i fell in love with the at first "hearing"...so...keep ur opinions for urself.
