For me, this song is about someone going through a depression but also trying to get out of it.Īll the souls that would die just to feel alive'īut this song means all this to me & only me :p This version was presumably created to give the song a sound more suitable for radio broadcast.This song is a perfect example of what i went through at my darkest time.

Then during the Psycho UK Tour and Drones Festival Tour Matt returned to playing guitar before once again not from the start of the arena tour.Īn alternative mix of 'Starlight', known as the 'New Mix, 'Radio Mix' or 'Radio Version' was distributed on promotional media only. From the Unsustainable Tour onwards, Matt didn't play guitar for the song and instead left the duty to touring member Morgan Nicholls. During the Resistance tour, Matt usually played a short Spanish guitar riff before the song. Starting sometime during the latter half of 2006, Bellamy started a routine of asking the people in a certain area, usually the back or top, how they are doing and dedicating 'Starlight' to them. 'Starlight' is played in B flat major live, instead of the recorded B. On the first performances of the song Matt played the piano notes with the guitar, however, not much later the piano part was done by Morgan Nicholls, Matt only playing the guitar on the choruses. Matt has stated in an interview that Starlight is his son's favourite Muse song. In Scandinavia, the song is used in the commercial of the television channel Viasat. Starlight is played for Edmontonians of Alberta, Canada on Sonic 102.9, as well as being the opening music for the Euro 2008 Football Qualifiers coverage on Sky Sports in the UK. Muse mentioning the influence of The Strokes, it is noteworthy that it has a little resemblance with the chorus of 'On The Other Side' from their album 'First Impressions of Earth' released in 2005 and by '12:51'. There’s a pop element in each of our albums, a simple bit, very melodic, like ' Time Is Running Out' on Absolution. Its structure is simple, and its melodies are catchy. It’s influenced by The Strokes, on a drumbeat and basic bass lines. Starlight had to be spontaneous, unleashing an energy that was difficult to capture. We wanted to keep it as simple as possible, and that was very difficult to do. It was a simple idea, stemming from a piano impro. 'Starlight was written in the practice studio at the end of 2004. Morrissey sings '.why do I give valuable time/to people who don't care if I live or die? As Muse has covered the band previously this lyric appears to be an homage to The Smiths.Īs with several other the songs on Black Holes and Revelations, Starlight was written before the 2005 tour in the USA: The lyric 'of the people who care if I live or die' carries a strong similarity to a lyric in The Smiths song 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now'. ' in Morse code, which spells out 'TITS'.The clapping at the beginning of 'Starlight' can be written as '. Ī very subtle synth can be heard throughout the entire song, but it's hard to hear it since it's buried in the final mix. It's honest, heart-on-sleeve vibe.' CompositionĪccording to Costey, the piano used a sampling of dropping forks on the piano strings, plucking the strings with guitar picks, putting putty on them, among other tricks to give the song its characteristic sound. You know, well - love song - sort of missing your girlfriend type of song, you know when you've been on the road for a while and you start to feel a bit like 'Cor blimey, where am I going?' It's real cheesy really, kind of like. also, Matt said: 'It's a pretty simple love song really. Matt said: “Starlight” is a more personal song about what it’s like to be on the road for a long period of time – you feel like you’re losing touch with who you are, and that kind of vibe.
