Song of the Day 08/15/12: Muse – Undisclosed Desires

I was looking for a way to share my excitement about the new Muse album that’s on its way, and I was shocked to find that I’d never featured “Undisclosed Desires” as a song of the day.  Definitely my favorite track off of Muse’s last album, The Resistance.  I love it because of how subtle and addicting it is.  That little string part in the background!!  I could listen to that little part forever!  I happen to have a really hard time remembering the order of the lyrics to the four lines in the chorus, and I always crack up when I try to sing along because they’re pretty much interchangeable.  I’ll end up using the first half of one line and the second half of a different line, and for some reason this is very funny to me.  In the end, it just comes down to that strings part.

It’s funny because at this point I feel like Muse has officially become two different bands.  There is rocking out crazy old muse in the style of Showbiz and Origins of Symmetry, and there’s odd dance-y disco Muse of the last two albums.  I love both bands.
