You Electrify My Life

You ever listen to that song that just makes everything feel better. Like, you could be having the worst week and that one song comes on and you forget all about your troubles. That's what this song is for me. It's "Starlight" by Muse.

This video is a live performance off their H.A.R.R.P DVD. I think it does a good job of showing how awesome they are live while still performing the song as it should be performed and not ruining it




Artist: Muse
Song: "Starlight"

Lyrics: "Starlight"

Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

THE Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms

Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold

First off, this band is amazing. Fuck Brian and anything he says about them. Muse is easily on of my very favorite bands of all time. Them, Brand New, and Thrice in no particular order. Secondly, they're so epic. Now, I don't mean that in the over-exaggerated slang sense, but in the they really really are of epic scale sense.

Haha alright well onto business. Like I mentioned earlier, this song rushes over me and just takes me with it every time I hear it. No song makes me happier than this one. It's not even a happy song necessarily. If you pay attention to the lyrics it's about longing to be with the one you love. Now, I don't have someone that I want to be with and hold and make everything better. I've only been that intimate with one person, but that's in the past. I don't see her that way anymore.

So why do I like this song so much? How do I relate to it? I'm not missing someone so terribly that it tears me up knowing that I'm not with them. I don't think about anyone before I go to bed at night. I guess, I let my love live vicariously through this song. I'm not in love, but through this song, I can feel like I am. This song does that for me. I can just close my eyes and let the feeling wash over me. It's bliss really. That's the only way I can describe it.

Now all I need is for someone to fill that void. I'm not necessarily looking, but I'm waiting for someone to think of when I listen to this song.
