Muse: 10 Essential Tracks ALL Fans Should Listen To
3. Butterflies And Hurricanes
For every track that may explore the notion of fear, doubt and hysteria, there's always a track or two out Bellamy's war chest that provides a more positive and uplifting sense of inspiration.
Butterflies and Hurricanes is all about hope, that the chance to make a change remains and is there for the taking, with its inspiration rooted in the idea of the butterfly effect (no, not the movie, the theory), that one small moment in time can have massive ramifications on the future of reality.
A notable element of the song is the interlude, a constant element that has appeared through-out Muse's later albums. Here, Bellamy shows his true skill behind the piano, building upon the same level of heavy energy that's imbued his other work with a sense of the romantic thrown in for good measure, backed again by another sick bass line.
Fans might also recognise the song for its appearance as the lead track to the open world action racer, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, though its slightly edited down from the original release.
Similarly, the radio edit removed the piano solo entirely, and it's just not the same without.
