Muse - Madness

Lead singer Matt Bellamy told Los Angeles radio station KROQ that he considers this to be his favorite of his songs. "I wrote that song having a fight with my girlfriend," said the frontman. "Nothing particularly over the top but just having one of those moments where she leaves you for the day to think about it. I rarely write songs that catharticly. All I had was a drum machine and a synthesizer so I just put this very minimal thing together."

"I wasn't quite sure it would work with the band," he added, "but when we started the album I showed it to Dom and Chris and they loved it. They sort of took it to another level by adding these extra parts at the end and it became a much bigger song. It's a real surprise song for this album. It's probably my favorite song that I've ever written."
