The song title reads like a hymn title. The melody sounds like a hymn. The keyboards sound like organs. The song elevates the soul like a hymn. Brilliant.
In the Italian language we use the word "inno (hymn)" also in the meaning of the word "anthem" and that's kinda interesting because the theme of this track is literally a different rendition of the Soviet Anthem, like some other American songs from the last decades (Go west by the Per Shop boys for example). In the album there are other references to the soviet philosophy and terminology.
That’s what I think of every Muse Album after listening to it again... Every one was a favourite one in different times, that’s why I can’t decide 🤷♀️😅🤘😍
Easily one of Muse's saddest but most beautiful songs ever written. I'm not entirely sure exactly what the composer was going thru, but it's expressed very well and I feel it.
That's the only thing I hate about muse (and r heir my fav band) all writers write songs about their feelings or experiences and Matthew Bellamy has sung some deep shit and it makes me feel that he is on the edge and the only thing keeping him balanced is music.(these r my fav songs however they r some of his deepest and u can tell by the titles) dead inside the dark side psycho darkshines etc and it makes me wonder what is going thru his head when he writes these songs and hope that whatever he is going thru (if anything could be creativity) he deals with it and gets better if u know what I mean
@@elizabeth-jaynecollins2157 matt once said that the meaning of their songs can be whatever we want because himself don't know what he tried to tell. He just write songs to make music because he express himself with guitar piano and by the power of his voice. The lyrics aren't really important for him.
+Rick Sanchez Man I have been at an internal conflict for like 5 months deciding whether I like the Killers or Muse more. I love both. So hard to choose.
Slow dancing in a pool of wreckage as lights rain down from the sky. That's the imagery this song evokes in me. The most beautiful imagery I could ever imagine.
this literally became a meme on tumblr "DUNDUN DUN DUNDUN PSSH" "are you lost, crushed, cold and confused?" "PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUREEEEEEE HEAAAAAAAAAARTS STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE"
sorry. but no seriously this became an actual meme and those are 3 examples of what it has become. (there's way more. more guiding light memes than you could ever imagine.)
It is actually intended to sound like airplane noise :) the track before this is "Collateral Damage", which ends with the sound of an airplane taking off, so that the two tracks sound like they are connected together!
No matter how much I hear the lyrics I still hear "All we hear now, is radio Gaga, all we hear now, is radio Gaga. Radio is here, someone still loves you."
2:17 you can notice that there's a "Hah!" scream that ends very abruptly. This was taken from the video where Matt reacted to his solo part. Even he himself is surprised. 😂
Pure hearts stumble In my hands, they crumble Fragile and stripped to the core I can't hurt you anymore Loved by numbers You're losing life's wonder Touch like strangers; detached I can't feel you anymore The sunshine trapped in our hearts It could rise again But I'm lost, crushed, cold and confused with no guiding light left inside You were my guiding light When comfort and warmth can't be found I still reach for you But I'm lost, crushed, cold and confused with no guiding light left inside You're my guiding light You're my guiding light When there's no guiding light left inside When there's no guiding light in our lives
And the search for the first person on RUclips to borrow a brain cell and finally understand that the people who need the lyrics are the ones who don't know them and need them to appear on the screen AT LEAST A WHOLE SECOND BEFORE THEY ARE SUNG so they don't sing behind goes on...
@@Phillinator11 Sure, no-one puts lyrics on a music video on RUclips so people can sing along. My point was the pointless futility of the effort in the work, not the fact I can't find the lyrics in an easier to use way.
I have a month to decide what im going to do with my life. I have been looking for my guiding light to figure out what i want to do in the future Tonight i have decided it while listening to this song, and although im not 100% sure, it feels like everything is in its right place now. "You dont have to be sure" is one of the educations my mad fat diary taught me. It's the first time i say it. I'm studying psycology.
Big fan since 2003 and I love BHoR as much as most of the Muse Fans do. But personally I really prefer "The Resistance" over "Black Holes and Revelations" Guiding Light is definitely underrated. I think it's one of Muse's strongest ballads of all time.
Génial, The group ! vu en concert en 2006 (bercy) chaque album est différent et en pleine évolution à chaque fois, quant à Matt Bellamy, un musicien génial avec une voix inexplicable !
pure harmonic souls of mystic sound's, ego whiped clean an uprising of the mind to foreign states of bliss,may God touch the minds and souls of all who read this we will be together again one
Wow - the drum pattern is EXACTLY the same as Ultravox's 'Vienna'....even though the song sounds more like Queen. It takes a genius to create a track that sounds like Queen and Ultravox!
I love the resistance, its the perfect blend for me, its my album, i dont get why people dont like it, it was already that good and they added 3 fucking exogensis' to evelate it- think again musers, absolution and oos is good but this is the best album, its Matt's peak voice he will ever get in his life too
Buongiorno a tutti! A me i Muse non dispiacciono ma non notate l'intro del brano "leggermente" uguale a "Vienna" degli Ultravox? Vabbe' che le note sono solo 7 Mi ricordano molto come i Coldplay con il brano "Talk" hanno copiato il sint dei Kratwerk nel brano "Computer Love" del 1981! Saluti e buoni anni 80 a tutti!

his voice is an amazing instrument
Played 2 month ago at my father’s funeral. Now strong enough to hear this song again. I hope he will still be my guiding light
My condolences.
He is with you. This is confirmation.
After listening to all their discography, this is by far my favorite album. I love every song on this album.
Exactly. Every single song of the resistance is a banger
That’s what I think of every Muse Album after listening to it again... Every one was a favourite one in different times, that’s why I can’t decide 🤷♀️😅🤘😍
This song has the most spine tingling guitar solo I've ever heard
its brilliant yes, Matthew can produce some amazing pieces, i like the solo for Citizen Erased the best though.
You should listen to the live version from Rome Olympic stadium, pure goosebumps stuff.
Apparently it is Jeff Buckley's guitar
@@danielleriggs9677 I don't believe that it is, Matt did re-record it on Jeff's guitar recently though and its out now
Matt is a genius
sth more than that
You're my guiding light when there's no guiding light left inside.
It's crazy that he can sing and play the guitar both so well. Really talented and hard-working.
Sounds like a fucking national anthem lol
***** ಠ_ಠ
+Prime same
Yeah. Same. Here.
yeah Britain's XD
jk :)
The British national anthem XD
Yeah I commented twice, XD
OMG that solo!!!!
Easily one of Muse's saddest but most beautiful songs ever written. I'm not entirely sure exactly what the composer was going thru, but it's expressed very well and I feel it.
Easily forgotten love
The person singing would be Winston in the Ministry of Love (1984)

@@acemew3255 I was gonna say that 😂
Fantastic as usual
What a band
I don't think I've heard a track of theirs I don't like
BEST BAND IN HISTORY
ESPECIALLY LIVE
Followed very closely behind by The Arctic Monkeys and The Killers.
+Rick Sanchez Man I have been at an internal conflict for like 5 months deciding whether I like the Killers or Muse more. I love both. So hard to choose.
I understand your struggle. Both are my favourite bands since 2005 but if someone sets my house on fire I'd save my MUSE CDs +Smeeven Spielberg
+The Blutelfenfee Smeeven? I don't know how I got lost :B
Pink Floyd is the best band in history
Slow dancing in a pool of wreckage as lights rain down from the sky. That's the imagery this song evokes in me. The most beautiful imagery I could ever imagine.
I loved this album so much, I dont know why any muse fan wouldnt. :)
same for me :) absolutely love it
+Francesco Sanvito yeah its a grat album but my favourite is the black holes and revelation :D
I love them all :p
I love this album
because this one came out after the magnum opus black holes and revelations ..... that's why
2:14 Eargasm on the fast lick
That solo, I'm in tears
One of their most underrated songs from one of their most underrated albums.
In a day and age where "underrated" is spoken to death, this is the most apt use of the word I have ever seen.
This captures the feelings of Julia and Winston during their final meeting so well.
Finally someone who can see the influence of 1984 in this Muse album.
this literally became a meme on tumblr
"DUNDUN DUN DUNDUN PSSH"
"are you lost, crushed, cold and confused?"
"PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUREEEEEEE HEAAAAAAAAAARTS STUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE"
no.
sorry. but no seriously this became an actual meme and those are 3 examples of what it has become. (there's way more. more guiding light memes than you could ever imagine.)
Holy fuck stop
Except Milhouse
Zadur Zadur the second law of the internet
One of my favourites from The Resistance
This is almost like “I can’t help falling in love with you “
MASTERPIECE
the beginning hits me like...
*airplane noise*
BAM
SnowflakeSam 9/11
Well, that escalated quickly...
It is actually intended to sound like airplane noise :) the track before this is "Collateral Damage", which ends with the sound of an airplane taking off, so that the two tracks sound like they are connected together!
This is so Queen. I love it.
No matter how much I hear the lyrics I still hear "All we hear now, is radio Gaga, all we hear now, is radio Gaga. Radio is here, someone still loves you."
this is so Muse, that's why you love it. I hate it when people say they like a song, because they remind them of something else
Katerina, Muse is my favorite band of all time, no need to get triggered here!
United States of Eurasia is even more Queen, I love that song too.
Jungkookie, you left sth else to be meant, though
What a perfect song to come after United States of Eurasia.
That high note at 2:30 just omg
+Ginger Avenger oh, Matt can take much more high notes) And all of them are aMUSEing
+Maria Ayanyan/Muse Fan nice pun
He can do better than that. Take a look at Micro Cuts. It will blow you away like it did me.
@@honey-snap his highest note is at the end of Showbiz.
2:17 you can notice that there's a "Hah!" scream that ends very abruptly. This was taken from the video where Matt reacted to his solo part. Even he himself is surprised. 😂
haha nice spot
Huh, interesting. I always thought it was just a voice crack lol
Pure hearts stumble
In my hands, they crumble
Fragile and stripped to the core
I can't hurt you anymore
Loved by numbers
You're losing life's wonder
Touch like strangers; detached
I can't feel you anymore
The sunshine trapped in our hearts
It could rise again
But I'm lost, crushed, cold and confused with no guiding light left inside
You were my guiding light
When comfort and warmth can't be found I still reach for you
But I'm lost, crushed, cold and confused with no guiding light left inside
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When there's no guiding light left inside
When there's no guiding light in our lives
This song really reminds me of Invincible.
Killjoy Gamer the chords ;)
A semantic similarity perhaps =}
The guiding light makes you invincible
Maybe because both are slow and have amazing solos ?
Same recipe. Slightly different ingredients, totally different taste. I love both.
Needs to be played at the Olympics opening ceremony
Ha,
Dude, that'd be EPIC.

this song reminds me of christmas for some reason
Like Big Freeze.
+Atani Avacado It's the guitar melody beginning in1:00.
Listening to this, Christmas, right now
+Tobias De Snoo It is like little drummer boy
Merry Christmas
Superbe chanson, quels frissons
I'll always miss you, my sweet painted lady. You were my guiding light.
I have a month to decide what im going to do with my life. I have been looking for my guiding light to figure out what i want to do in the future

I hope you can find your path
@@misscroupette9777 thank you so much
Well, how did you do? I'm reading your comment a year later, and I sincerely hope you were able to pull your life together. Let me know, buddy!
A good start would be spelling Psychology correctly

Guiding Light is definitely underrated. I think it's one of Muse's strongest ballads of all time.
Guitar solo is fxxking insane!!!!😍😍😍
This song reminds me of queen, i love it
Génial, The group ! vu en concert en 2006 (bercy)
chaque album est différent et en pleine évolution à chaque fois, quant à Matt Bellamy, un musicien génial avec une voix inexplicable !
That “When” at the end means everything
one of the best guitar solo...*ghost bump*
pure harmonic souls of mystic sound's, ego whiped clean an uprising of the mind to foreign states of bliss,may God touch the minds and souls of all who read this we will be together again one
My mum caught me listening to this while crying over shera season three and I can't help thinking that this is what I've been sent to earth for
Prequel to dead inside!
This was my first dance with my wife, in my first marriage lol couldn't listen to it for a long time afterwards, but today I can. 15 years later😂
such a beautiful song, brings back happy memories for me :)
I love the bass tone on this song
I feel like the lyrics to this song are particularly underrated.
Bellissima canzone 😊 grandi muse
so good.
Minha musica preferida dessa minha banda preferida s2
Going to see them on the 12th! So happy! :D
Wow - the drum pattern is EXACTLY the same as Ultravox's 'Vienna'....even though the song sounds more like Queen. It takes a genius to create a track that sounds like Queen and Ultravox!
That's a pretty standard drum pattern tbh
One of the best songs
My latest go to Muse tune. Love it.
The guitar is very Queen.
that solo!
great song!!! :)
Invincible with this song
This song helped me through a tough period
Wonderful song of Queen :)! ...I mean Muse :)
Аж дух захватывает!
Perfect!! A Queen AND U2 inspiration ❤
Guitar solo is insane. Great song.
PUUUUUUURE HEARTS
STUUUUUMBLE
its a very nice song in the world
we'd do good with more very nice songs in this world...
I will always love you cam cam. You made me feel like I was special. Im lost with out you .
Damn I'm one ugly soul..
Alloved sound 💐
Люблю Muse! 31 .01.2020
🎶 Take my hand🎶 Take my whole life, too🎶 Cause I can't help🎶 Falling in love with you
The melody is very fucking cool. Unnatural selection is very fucking cool of the melody! Argghhhhhhh
AND THE FUCKIN SOLO!!!! 2:04 *-* HE'S A GENIUS!
Loving the lyric here.
very good
Freddy would have been proud
i don't see the resemblance
omg yassyess
Ooooh Vienna!
2:13 closest thing to 'shredding' Matt bellamy has ever done
Avatar1178 Stockholm Syndrome, Assassin, Dead Star?
manco82 Don’t forget Reapers, The Handler, Knights of Cydonia has some good stuff, Hysteria, I’ll come back with more later probably.
Between Queen, U2, and a little of Radiohead (panic androïd time).
Agree about radiohead
But that isn't a freaking poem, Radiohead songs are so much better written!
better written , very good joke!!
"panic android"
You mean paranoid android?
Thankyou Ben for guiding me at the time x
Muse. Мьюз. Высокая планка произведений. Завораживает и выброс колоссальной энергии. Энергетический разряд.
Lol. My opinion. There begins a christmass guitar melody here: 1:00
It's like Ultravox's Hymn and Vienna
Ugh. This is a love song. Right here.
From Muse. And its awsome :)
2:17 i find this funny that it's actually matt's laugh but it was cut 😂
*PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE HEAAAAAAAAAAAAAARTS*
I love the resistance, its the perfect blend for me, its my album, i dont get why people dont like it, it was already that good and they added 3 fucking exogensis' to evelate it- think again musers, absolution and oos is good but this is the best album, its Matt's peak voice he will ever get in his life too
And to say it flopped, it has fucking uprising to back it up too think again
Ah! Vienna!
much better than vienna tbh and i really enjoy ultravox!!
😍😍😍😍😍
This song reminds me of Elvis Presley's Can't Help Falling in Love
Ah you're right. I thought it sounded familiar.

Manu Gahan Umm.. In English, please?
I hear a similarity with Made in Heaven. Really amazing songs
This is cheesy but enjoyable at the same time.
PUUUUUUUURE HEEEEEAAAAARTS
Muse at their best
The beginning sounds like the song Vienna from Ultravox.
Matt is a new meth
Several peoples right now doesn't have Guiding Light inide them
Sounds a lot like Ultravox' Vienna, fine song though
Not gonna lie I was secretly hoping to hear this in new Top Gun
