Another smash from Muse’s forthcoming album Drones. I think I’ve finally reached the point where I feel like Muse are even better than Radiohead. Muse is constantly re-inventing itself, each album having a whole unique feel and themes. And yet the songs are accessible.

What a beautiful, tender song. Christina could have a hit with this one. Especially if they did a remix radio could play. Although I’d kind of hate for them to do that because it’s so precious as it is. But I really want Christina to be a superstar again, so if remixing this gorgeous song…
