Uprising (Muse)

   In 2009 the alternative rock band “Muse” released this first single from their new album “The Resistance”. The song remained at the #1 position of the Billboard Alternative Songs chart for 17 weeks and was awarded with Best Single of 2010 (Uprising). As the album's name states many of the songs revolved around power and taking control. In the specific song “Uprising”, it truly captures the feeling of resistance. With a darker feel and a low guitar riff, the song brings things up such as “They will not control us, We will be victorious!”. It really gives an idea that they will no longer be oppressed by the corrupted government and will stand up, or as in the song, “Rise up and take the power back, It’s time the fat cats had a heart attack”. Other than just resistance and rebelling, the songs about justice and liberty with your country and your people and that you’ll be able to come together as a whole body striving towards one goal, “You know that their time’s coming to an end, We have to unify and watch our flag ascend”. Together the united people will begin a resistance.
