Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Christina Average	#1 by Christina Anderson at Mar 27, 1973 at 10:18 PM EST
	Such a wonderful song. I don't know what this song means. To me personally its about 2 lovers one older and one younger (too old to dream, too young to care) who's relationship is about to end or has ended.

No Picture maximus Average	#2 by maximus hyrule at Jul 18, 1975 at 6:50 AM EST
	Blackout is one of those songs that is only really embraced live. The album version sometimes gets a bit boring.. but live.. wow. This is probably their biggest "lighter" song. It's so simple yet.. effective. When Matt Bellamy (the frontman) turns up his distortion for the solo live, it sounds so much like an air raid siren, which would fit in with Blackout.. kind of like in Britain during air raids in WW2.. Even though the songs nothing to do with that, it just sounds so beautiful.. I've never actually been there and heard it live.. If I was in a live audience when that was played, I would probably cry. Matt Bellamy said this song came around after his Italian girlfriend's ex-boyfriend died in a car crash. It's about fear of death at a young age and the energy and motivation you can put out of that. :) Basically, it's like Butterflies and Hurricanes but less forceful. Enjoy and make the most of the time you have, because you'll never know how long you have left, and you need to live fast, but take time to see everything around you as well.

No Picture Indy Lead Player	#3 by Indy Windrose at Jan 19, 1979 at 11:49 AM EST
	i agree all their songs sound the same. when i first bought the album (after only having heard 2 of their songs), thats exactly how i felt. theyre kinda growing on me though. this song is absolutely gorgeous though.

No Picture Kevin Average	#4 by Kevin turbyfill at Jul 26, 1985 at 2:34 AM EST
	Hmm, i have to agree with smashing me.. My ex did the whole gondola thing, and it really fits.... But i also think this song is about a person who is in love, and it makes them feel amazing.. and they think that the feelings they feel are too good to last.

No Picture Mr. Always Mezm Average	#5 by Mr. Always Mezmerized (o)(o) at Aug 16, 2000 at 11:52 AM EST
	tottally agree thecomaboy, seen these guys live twice now and the solo for blackout is perfect, everyone was just still,i dont think anyone was singing along, the whole place was at standstill.very emotional. if you ever get a chance to see muse please do it,
