SURVIVALMuse8rank/position

Muse – Survival – London 2012 Olympic Games | Music Monday

It was the official theme song of the 2012 London Olympics.

It’s the lead single from Muse’s album “The 2nd Law,” and it’s said to be themed around the Olympic spirit of “steadfast belief in victory and pure determination.” Muse is a British rock band formed in 1994.

I feel a strong heart that won’t be hindered by anything.

Stockholm SyndromeMuse9rank/position

Muse – Stockholm Syndrome

It’s one of Muse’s earlier songs.

It features distinctive falsetto and a dark sound, but since it’s quite well-known, I feel like a lot of people like it.

Because of that, it’s always a hit at karaoke—I don’t think I’ve ever sung it without getting the crowd going.

MadnessMuse10rank/position

Muse – Madness

Muse is a British band often described as the second coming of Queen.

They’re a globally popular group that constantly pushes musical boundaries—releasing tracks packed with electronic elements and using the guitar’s tone in unconventional ways rather than as a traditional guitar sound.

Muse – Mercy [Official Music Video]

If you want to nail some cool Western rock, I recommend Muse’s work.

“Merc” is a rock track built around a simple beat.

The drumming is dynamic, so it should be really fun to play.

There’s a section in the chorus with rapid-fire bass drum hits; if you focus on mastering that, you’ll be able to apply it to other songs as well.

Shine (Acoustic)Muse12rank/position

Shine (Acoustic)

The 2001 song “Shine” by the rock band Muse.

The dreamlike synthesizer sound is the heart of this track, and tied to that mysterious tone you can hear the sound of flowing water, gentle vocals, and what seems like guitar arpeggios.

This dreamy piece unfolds into an emotional section in the latter half with busy strumming, making for the best ensemble and the best drama.

Personally, I love closing my eyes and soaking in the lingering afterglow once it’s over.

UnintendedMuse13rank/position

Muse – Unintended

MUSE is a three-piece rock band from the UK.

While they’re strongly associated with a diverse musical style that absorbs a range of influences, this track from their fifth album, The Resistance, is a simple guitar-driven ballad that expresses the desire to embrace a loved one’s heart—including its flaws.

BlackoutMuse14rank/position

Muse – Blackout (Lyrics on Screen)

This is a song by Muse, a three-piece rock band from Wales in the United Kingdom.

The band’s name is derived from the name of the muses, the goddesses of music.

With its slow rhythm, gentle vocals, and occasional humming, the track is calm and ethereal, making it a soothing listen.
