뮤즈(Muse)는 1994년 영국에서 결성된 브릿팝 밴드 이다. 브릿팝에 하드 록을 접목시킨 사운드로 신선하다는 평가와 대중들에게 많은 인기를 얻고 있다. 그러나 데뷔 앨범 《Showbiz》가 나왔을 때 일부 평론가들은 뮤즈의 분위기와 매슈 벨라미의 보컬이 라디오헤드의 톰 요크와 매우 흡사하여 라디오헤드의 아류라는 오명을 입기도 했다. 하지만, 《Origin of Symmetry》 앨범부터 다른 밴드와 차별되는 뮤즈만의 독특한 색깔을 찾아 보여줌으로써 그러한 오명은 점차 누그러졌다. 2006년 뮤즈가 Black Holes and Revelations 4집을 발매했다. 발매된 지 일주일 만에 10만 장 이상이 영국 내에 팔리고 Black Holes and Revelations가 영국 차트 1위로 올랐다.
뮤즈는 2007년 NME 영국 최우수 밴드 상, 2008년 NME 최고 라이브 상을 받았다. .... ....
Come waste your millions here, Secretly she sneers. Another corporate show, A guilty conscience grows. And I'll feel a guilty conscience grow, And I'll feel a guilty conscience grow.
She burns like the sun and I can't look away, And she'll burn our horizons make no mistakes.
Come let the truth be shared, No-one ever dared to break, These endless lies, Secretly she cries.
She burns like the sun, And I can't look away, And she'll burn our horizons, Make no mistakes.
And I'll hide from the world, Behind a broken frame, And I'll run forever, I can't face the shame.

Controlling my feelings for too long, Controlling my feelings for too long, Controlling my feelings for too long, Controlling my feelings for too long, And forcing our darkest souls to unfold, And forcing our darkest souls to unfold, And pushing us into to self destruction, And pushing us into to self destruction. They make me, make me dream your dreams, They make me, make me scream your screams.
Trying to please you for too long, Trying to please you for too long, Vvisions of greed you wallow, Rhythms of greed you wallow, Visions of greed you wallow, Rhythms of greed you wallow,

You could be my unintended choice to live my life extended You could be the one I'll always love You could be the one who listens to my deepest inquisitions You could be the one I'll always love
I'll be there as soon as I can But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before
First there was the one who challenged all my dreams and all my balance She could never be as good as you
You could be my unintended choice to live my life extended You should be the one I'll always love
I'll be there as soon as I can But I'm busy mending broken pieces of the life I had before (x2)
This means nothing to me, cos you are nothing to me, And it means nothing to me that you blew this away. Cos you could have been number one if you only found the time, And you could have ruled the whole world, if you had the chance. You could have been number one, and you could have ruled the whole world, And we could have had so much fun, but you blew it away.
You're still nothing to me, and this is nothing to me, And you don't know what you've done, but I'll give you a clue. You could have been number one, if you only had the chance, And you could have ruled the whole world, if you had the time.
You could have been number one, and you could have ruled the whole world, And we could have had so much fun, but you blew it away. You could have been number one, and you could have ruled the whole world, And we could have had so much fun, but you blew it away.
Royal Canadian blended, the spicy aroma had mended me. Matured for years and imported, into my glass you poured it. And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen. Suppose it stands to reason that you would turn on me. You're so solid, You're so solid, It burns inside of me, cos you're so solid, It burns inside of me.
Wild Turkey's been chosen, its caramel nose can smell me, Arbourler, Jameson I love you, the single malts come burning. And you're the only reason that I remain unfrozen. Suppose it stands to reason that you would turn on me.
You're so solid, You're so solid, It burns inside of me, cos you're so solid, It burns inside of me.

*You would say anything And you would try anything To escape your meaningless And your insignificance
You're uncontrollable And we are unloveable And I don't want you to think that I care I never would, I never could again
Why can't you just love her And why be such a monster You bully from a distance Your brain needs some assistance
But I'll still take all the blame 'Cause you and me are both one and the same And it's driving me mad And it's driving me mad
I'll take back all the things that I said I didn't realise I was talking to the living dead And I don't want you to think that I care I never would, I never could again
You needed it when I was away, and no matter what I say, You'll never forget when I wasn't there, so why should I care, I'm young but I know that I'm aroused. You know that I care, you should have been there, You know that I care, you should have been there.
It doesn't matter where I have gone, I just can't afford to, Pay for all the mistakes that you have made, it's about time I was paid. I'm young but I know that I'm aroused.
You know that I care, you should have been there, You know that I care, you should have been there, You know that I care, you should have been there, You know that I care, you should have been there, You know that I care, you should have been there, You know that I care, you should have been there.
Oh I am growing tired, Of allowing you to steal, Everything I have, you're making me feel, Like I was born to service you, But I am growing by the hour. You left us far behind, So we all discard our souls. And blaze through your skies, So afraid to die.
Cos I was born to destroy you, And I am growing by the hour. I'm getting strong in every way, yeah. Yeah.
You led me on, you led me on, you...
Oh, and I'm getting strong in every way, yeah. Yeah.
everything about you is how i wanna be your freedom comes naturally everything about you resonates happiness now i won't settle for less give me all the peace and joy in your mind
everything about you pains my envying your soul can't hate anything everything about you is so easy to love they're watching you from above give me all the peace and joy in your mind i want the peace and joy in your mind give me the peace and joy in your mind
everything about you resonates happiness now i won't settle for less give me all the peace and joy in your mind i want the peace and joy in your mind give me the peace and joy in your mind
Break me in, teach us to cheat And to lie and cover up What shouldn't be shared And the truth unwinding Scraping away at my mind Stop asking me to describe
For one moment I wish you'd hold your stage With no feelings at all Open minded I'm sure I used to be so free
Self expressed, exhausting for all to see And to be what you want And what you need And truth's unwinding Scraping away at my mind Stop asking me to describe
For one moment I wish you'd hold your stage With no feelings at all Open minded, I'm sure I used to be so free
For one moment I wish you'd hold your stage With no feelings at all Open minded I'm sure I used to be so free
Wash me away Clean your body of me Erase all the memories They'll only bring us pain And I've seen, all I'll ever need
뮤즈를 별로 좋아하는 편이 아니라서 멤버들 이름도 잘 모르고 어떤 앨범을 지긋하게 들어본 적도
거의 없는 것 같음. 귓전을 때리는 고음은 내 취향이 아니라서리. 노래 부르는 거 보면 깡마른 보컬은
노래 부르다가 뒷목 잡고 쓰러질 것 같은 그런 분위기-_-ㅋ
여튼 뮤즈는 울 나라 관객들이 엄청 좋아라 하는 락 그룹. 근데 나는 뭐 그냥 그랬던...
MUSE 내한공연을 본 zf에게 자랑이 될런지는 모르겠지만 이 라이브 앨범을 샀다!! Intro 곡은 강렬한 클래식 곡으로 프로코피예프 - 로미오와 줄리엣 발레조곡 中 '몬테규家와 캐플릿家' Sergei Sergeevich Prokofiev - Romeo and Juliet Suite No.2 Op.64c Balle Montague and Capulets (Dance of the Knight) 인데 들어보면 누구나 알만한 곡이다. 곡 목록을 보면 정.....
뮤즈(Muse)라는 이름을 처음 접하게 했던 <Muscle Museum>의 뮤직 비디오를 본 지도 어느새 3년이 가까이 되어간다. 제각기 다른 장소에서 울고 있는 사람들을 보면서 나는 이 신인 밴드의 눈부신 '성공'의 모습을 잠시나마 그려봤었다. 당시 '브릿팝의 죽음' 앞에서 모두가 되찾고 싶어했던 넘치는 우울의 정서와 고혹적인 화려함, 선명하게 압축되는 대중적인 요소까지 겸비하고 있었기 때문이다. 얼마 후 라이브를 보았을 때 카리스마와 (얼마간의) 쇼맨쉽까지 갖추고 있는 매튜 벨라미(Matthew bellamy)를 보고나서 그러한 멋대로의 '예감'은 좀더 확실해 졌고, 벼랑 끝에선 브릿팝 시대의 마지막 '스타'가 되기에 이 이상 손색없는 요건을 갖춘 밴드는 없을 것이라는 생각까지 했었다. 하지만...
