The song of the British rock trio MUSE recognized the Vatican. The song Uprising was included in the list of works "capable of reaching the hearts of benevolent people." Who is the creator of this work?
This happened in December 2009. The Vatican has published a list of musical compositions that will certainly reach people's hearts. Surprisingly, this list included a rock song.
Curious people, of course, would be interested to know what kind of works the Vatican listed on its list. However, with the change of the Pope, this familiarization became problematic.
Only the fact of being in the list of the song “Uprising” (Uprising) of the British group “MUSE” is known for certain. The author of the text and music of the song is Matthew Bellamy, the permanent author of the compositions of this group.
Infrequently, the Vatican officially recognizes songs written by rock musicians. Such an honor must be earned. Matthew Bellamy never sought the highest recognition of his work. He traditionally writes only about what really excites him.
Aurally
Matt is not familiar with musical notation. Playing his beloved Rachmaninov, he "picks up by ear." Also by ear, composes music. This musician never fixes anything, approaching the matter philosophically. Usually he says this: if you composed something worthwhile, then it will never be forgotten.
Music that Matt has not forgotten is necessarily honored with his poems. The poems he writes are amazing! Honestly, this is real poetry.
Stages
In June of this year, Matthew turned forty. Truly Bellamy became interested in music at the age of 13. Once he preferred exclusively grunge, but now he began to understand the classics.
Genius is also a man
Surely many would like to see in the rock musician, to whom the Vatican was not indifferent, all sorts of aspirations for goodness. Especially for these people, it should be noted that Matt Bellamy never took drugs and is still faithful to his mother’s instructions.
Also, he never had any illusions about his beloved and what he was doing. Matt is sure that without all the instruments accompanying him, he will look rather strange and resemble a screaming maniac.
Let's go play rock
“MUSE” was born from the community of numerous school teams in which the musicians of this group played. They played rock hard there.
In school, Matt was constantly in love with someone. The girls did not reciprocate, although he was ready for any heroic deeds, up to various sacrifices.
Dominic Howard, “MUSE” drummer, recalls the time that Matt, instead of going to a rehearsal, could well sit somewhere alone, in tears about another romantic setback. I had to look for him and bring him to his senses. “Get ready, ” said House to Matt, “let's go play rock!”
Some girls still call Bellamy a "little nightmare." Well, yes, he is short (170 cm), awkward, with a funny gait, awkward movements and teeth, on which braces are crying. Pooch, in a word. The exterior is not even zero, but minus to a certain extent.
But! It is worth taking a closer look at it. A subtle, mysterious smile of the Mona Lisa, amazingly clean blue eyes and
hands. Hands about which you can write poems and odes.
Oh these hands
Many MUSE fans admit to falling in love with Matt Bellamy. Yes, undoubtedly hands are his main treasure! Matt takes care of them like the apple of an eye.
He does not protect his face, unlike his hands - once (in April 2004) he tucked his upper lip with the neck of a guitar. They say that Bellamy did not stop playing until a pool of blood flowed under his feet. Matt then suffered only because the stitches in the hospital hurt for a long time and he could not talk. The scars, of course, still remain. Now they are barely noticeable.
Riddles
Do not rack your brains over the question of where does this voice come from, this music. Where can I hide fire, sky, storm? In fact, where ?! He is so thin and small, his soul does not understand what is holding on! If you blow it, it will fly away.
It turned out that the question has no answer. That is not all. Even Matt himself cannot explain anything. He says that he is afraid of looking for something in himself - all of a sudden how, having found a solution, he will suddenly lose everything he owns. Well, he is right, they are not joking with such things. If you are "led" from above (and they lead him), you should not stick your nose into the affairs of the wise.
So this tiny poo goes on stage, picks up a guitar or touches the keys, and
Turns into a shaman. He becomes a super-being, commanding the crowd with a wave of his hand. Transformed beyond recognition, shines and burns. The crowd sings with him in unison and holds out his palms, as if he wants to keep warm in his rays.
His voice
Matt's vocals give the “MUSE” sound the completeness and unlike any other. This voice cannot be confused with any other. Dominic said that once Matthew, hearing his voice in the recording, was scared of him. The guy could not get used to it for a long time, that it was his voice, because he himself hears in a different way.
An interesting point: in childhood, Bellamy did not differ in vocal data. At the age of thirteen, a miracle happened - with an age-related mutation, Matt was gifted by nature a musical instrument of great strength.
He has unique ligaments, everyone knows that. Sometimes it seems that they are a living creature that exists separately, autonomously. “It doesn't seem like I'm singing, but my inner voice, ” Matt complains.
That's right, it is! Take, for example, Matt's amazing ability to jump and dance at concerts, while maintaining even breathing. Surprisingly and generally impossible, but true. Bellamy usually jokes about all the enthusiasm for his vocal data.
