Not many people know what the song is really about, not even many Muse fans. Matt has said (on one occasion about 22 years ago) that the song is about admiring how a child can radiate happiness. "Everything about you resonates happiness". Just pure joy and bliss, without having to worry about anything, without any adult responsibilites, without having been exposed to stuff in life yet. And he said that he misses that feeling of being a child and would want to experience it again as an adult. "Everything about you is so easy to love, they're watching you from above" literally means adults looking down at children and loving them. "Everything about you is how I'd wanna be, your freedom comes naturally". A child can be completely in the moment, completely free, and be happy. And Matt envies that. "Everything about you pains my envying". He wants that for himself. "Give me all the peace and joy in your mind, I want the peace and joy in your mind". We've all had that when we were kids, but we grew out of it slowly. We can remember things from our childhood, but none of us really remember what it felt like being a child and what that carefree state of mind was like. "Your soul can't hate anything". A child is incapable of hating anything or anyone the same way adults are. If something hurts a child, they might cry for a minute, but they will forget it in an instant and go on living their blissful, happy existence without growing to hate it. Another interesting thing is that the background synth track is pretty much stolen from the theme music to a 1992 kids video game called Top Gear for the Super Nintendo (not that anyone ever sued Matt over it). Literally a game for kids. And a third interesting fact: In the early 2000's, they used to play this song live all the time with those huge balloons unleashed upon the audience about halfway through the song. Those balloons are literally something that kids would go crazy over, not adults, because adults don't care about balloons. Kids would jump up and down out of joy if they had balloons like that. But so did the audience. For a brief moment, the people in the audience got to feel that bliss and joy of being a child, lost in the present moment. All in all, it's a song about kids! :D
It is also about how many adults want to consume that purity. Maybe it wasn't on purpose but adults who keep their purity get preyed on by so many jealous ppl.
This was recored 9 years ago approximately 350 miles away from where I am now, I've seen this video hundreds of times before and yet every time I watch it sends chills down my spine! Everyone who was there for that concert had the most incredible experience and I will envy them for ever. TUUUUUUUNE!!!
Freaking heck you crazies. They're bursting with so much energy in their early 2000s live shows, it's freaking infectious. Whenever I watch one I feel like I could run a mile in a minute.
I love this song and I love MUSE.. the band has always fun doing live shows and they always put so much energy and feeling into it.. the vibe in the crowd and even in the air is incredible. I really admire that.. :)
The DVD is TOTALLY WORTH IT, AND THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. Every song in the set list is played exquisitely and much more better than the studio version. Take a look at Bliss! It's start in the live version changes everything that the studio version has done. It makes much more impact as it goes all out with the synthesizers, guitar, bass, and drums from which it came from as an unexpected calm, steady intro.
I like how they start off with the song. I even think it's better than the studio version. It's starts off calm, then goes BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SYNTHESIZERS, DRUMS, BASSLINE, AND GUITAR = TOTAL BLISS. WHAT MORE CAN YOU GET FROM THIS LIVE VERSION????? It's simply a rare jewel.
when you say you want to be famous everybody tells you it's a hard life, but when you can do a concert like this you know you'd do everything for it, everything about this it's how i wanna be
its such a shame that muse have gone down hill since this was filmed, i mean 'i belong to you' and 'neutron star collision don';t sent shivers down your spine like this
I'm sitting in front of my computer watching a performance thousands of miles (or kilometers) away from the site of this performance... and the amount of energy I get from it is phenomonal... I wondered how the live people at this survived...
Things like this are just so great I wonder if Muse is just a completely awsome figment of my imagination. Okay...I little dramatic but still. Muse forever!!!
Amazing. Pure musical genius. That poor drum set! But still amazing. Tear worthy even. Gorgeous. No words can describe it! Love it, that's all that matters :D
I hate when people are saying, that Matt and God are the same person! Like yes, he's really good, but still he is not Matt!

Man what a great comment. Thank you. And of course, all hail Muse, what a band..
It is also about how many adults want to consume that purity.
Maybe it wasn't on purpose but adults who keep their purity get preyed on by so many jealous ppl.
Never have I felt the pure and raw emotion of a band so much in one song
This was the concert in 2001 that introduce me to this band, amazing skills and emotion.
That is intense.
Bliss, album version awesome but when it's live it takes it to whole other level.
This is what happiness looks like!
just perfection
Alessia 98 bliss
This is the fucking's coldplay's clocks 2:42
Clocks has been released after bliss
@@nutriarider352 for ur information, Bliss came out on 2001, clocks came out on 2002 🤷
@nutriarider352 it's not even the same progression you dope. It's literally just arpeggios in the same time signature as clocks 🙄 Epic fail comment
everything about muse is so easy to love
Olá
High quality is relative when it was filmed with a potato but still looks beautiful
iKiel2012 It's actually more than 13 fps and that's already impressive

I love Hullabaloo. Energizes me!!!
Bliss is one of my favorite songs
4:50 Muse knew they're living their dream as a band so they just had to break everything to celebrate it.
lol matt jumps and dom while chris pushes the kit over!! Haha! They have so much fun when theyre performing, great to watch!!! :D
this is the best performance of bliss live i have heard!!
I love this song and I love MUSE.. the band has always fun doing live shows and they always put so much energy and feeling into it.. the vibe in the crowd and even in the air is incredible. I really admire that.. :)
3:38 Love this moment xD
french audiance is amazing
No alcanzan las palabras para describir lo que expresan, gracias totales
this is how you end a show. I really missed this badass Muse. :'(
could some one make an audio file of this video, this is my favorite version of bliss, it's so..... GREAT!!!
i love how he plays the solo and then just starts to crush the balloons.
how can you NOT love this?! i've got goosebumps, i'm sweating like a prostitute in a church and my heart is racing. Dude, i love muse!
the bass in this is just thumpin man those variations in the chorus are soooo good
i think this was probably one of their best songs performed live and the guitar solo was perfect
As the most quiet member, it's fun to see Chris being chaotic in his younger days on stage. The way he carried Matt makes me laugh so hard 😂
PURE ENERGY AND ECSTASY!!!
One of the best Muse songs, so glad they've been playing it and also MOTP in gigs this year :D
for only 360p, this is the highest quality band i've ever seen!
3:37 = Bliss, right there.
The way this song kicks in is amazing
i love how they completely destroy the stage when they're done! muse is the best!
the most incredible thing about this performance is the bass pedal staying on the bass drum at the end!!
this one's wonderful - I love the end and that guitar solo, improvising...
wish they threw this in setlists more often today, but all in all can't complain, at least I get to see them live!
Why i didnt born in that era
That show was perfect
3:42, bass is less sharp than guitar

I've never seen them so happy. Especially Christopher :P. That's what bliss is all about, right?
I like how they start off with the song. I even think it's better than the studio version. It's starts off calm, then goes BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SYNTHESIZERS, DRUMS, BASSLINE, AND GUITAR = TOTAL BLISS. WHAT MORE CAN YOU GET FROM THIS LIVE VERSION????? It's simply a rare jewel.
only muse could do that, thata why we love them!!!
Muse, radiohead and coldplay in that order
when you say you want to be famous everybody tells you it's a hard life, but when you can do a concert like this you know you'd do everything for it, everything about this it's how i wanna be
the final riff is awsome!
saw them at the o2 last night, first time in six years. jesus it was bad. watching this to cleanse my soul.
farroj04 saw them too and thought it was one of the best performances ive seen
Best band of the last 10 years!!!
God freaking bless Muse!!!
taken from the best live dvd ever.....
This proves originality isn't dead!!!
@drummer1269 I cried with happiness when i watched them live for the first time, they are so brilliantxx
if god can listen to music , Muse would be his favourite band. !
Okay, time to finish the chorus of this s- OH WAIT A BALLOON
Such an amazing performance :) I love how Matt goes mad at the end and jumps on Chris, aswell as Dom's drum kit lmao they are true gods :D
its such a shame that muse have gone down hill since this was filmed, i mean 'i belong to you' and 'neutron star collision don';t sent shivers down your spine like this
That's how you finish a concert.
never will we see MUSE this raw and epic again...so unfortunate that I didn't know them back in the early 2000s when they were still this insane :((((
That'll be the end of that Drum Kit then... LOL. What a fucking great performance, I've never seen anything like it, it was just totally mental!!!
He still is and always will be.
miss that days U_U
If anyone asks you why muse has won all there live band awards... Just simply show them this video.
Muse........ Fucking awesome.....
I'm sitting in front of my computer watching a performance thousands of miles (or kilometers) away from the site of this performance... and the amount of energy I get from it is phenomonal... I wondered how the live people at this survived...
And that´s a true rock band my students.!
I watch this daily...and no I'm not kidding
i'm watcing this 10 times/day!
oh man the atmosphere at that place must have been electric.
this is my favorite muse song :) of the album... ;)
Best version ever!!!
A brilliant song one of my faves
NO words to describe that. Amazing

You don´t know what living means untill you have been to a muse concert

Amazing. Pure musical genius. That poor drum set! But still amazing. Tear worthy even. Gorgeous. No words can describe it! Love it, that's all that matters :D
Muse, my love.
@SpanienFlyer Estan to locoooss!!
I'd say Citizen Erased is the best song of this decade. Live or not. And one of the 10 best songs of all time.
I fucking came while watching and listening to this for the first time. Now, 2 years later, i haven't changed underwear!
When God hears them play this song he says "but I already gave you all the bliss in the world, how else would you be so awesome?!"
best fuckin muse song ever should be played every gig
"I want the peace and joy in your miiii...." BALLOON!!
Muse deserve best band in the universe
@biddo97 i know what your saying but i think unnatrural selection is pretty good to rock out to :D ooooh and MK ultra particularly the end!
Always spine thrillingly amazing!!

@Y0uAreMyMuse Translation Shit, I love this song... It has so much power and so nostalgic.
