Day 22 - "Apocalypse Please" by Muse (2003)

 

No irony at all in today's song choice, which I will allow to speak for itself, and will hopefully offer some consolation for all those disappointed by the lack of apocalypse yesterday. If you want to read more on my thoughts on failed prophecy, you can take a look at this Manchester Evening News article. Otherwise, enjoy Matt Bellamy's take on the band's iconic album cover:

"The bloke's looking ambiguous and unusual...he's stood there and he's holding a gas mask to look as if he's protecting himself from something - an end of the world scenario. But something's happened and he's taken it off. He's looking up and it's judgement day. The aliens have either come down to earth or the chosen ones are flying away - and he's thinking ' why haven't I been chosen?' I think from that point of view sometimes!"

Apocalypse Please (Bellamy, Wolstenholme, Howard, 2003)

Declare this an emergency
Come on and spread a sense of urgency
And pull us through
And pull us through
And this is the end
This is the end
Of the world
 
And it's time we saw a miracle
Come on, it's time for something biblical
To pull us through
And pull us through
And this is the end
This is the end
Of the world
 
Proclaim eternal victory
Come on and change the cause of history
And pull us through
And pull us through
And this is the end
This is the end
Of the world
