Pop. Boy-Bandish. Timbaland. Or so you think...
Those first few bars of bass, electric strings, and beat immediatly make you think of the above adjectives (yes, "Timbaland" is an adjective) for this song. But like the album itself, first listens are deceiving. This track soon became my "repeat" track. Evidence of this is on my last.fm account...
The song has zero Matt Bellamy guitar on it, which makes it similar to Absolution's "Endlessly". Yes, "Undisclosed Desires" is the new "Endlessly"! And there is not a thing wrong with that.
Chris and Dom really put their work into this one, bassing it up with the best of them. And of course, what is a Muse track without Bellamy's sensual voice? The man knows how to give a girl butterflies. Though I must admit that the songs on-going crescendos and harmonies add to the sexiness. The sound itself is enough make you blush. Add in the whispers and the lyrics and you have one of the most lustful, yet romantic songs possibly ever produced (those "ooo"'s in mid song? I fell off my chair.)
The lyrics introduce us to a man's love for one special woman. She seems to be the "bad girl" type, or so she acts like it. No matter who she is, this man wants her, and wants her to know he will save her. What is there not to love about...love?
"You trick your lovers that you're wicked and Divine/ You may be a sinner but your innocence is mine./ Please me, show me how it's done./Tease me, you are the one."
Butterflies? Me, too. Wait until you hear that last harmony. That cut off is one that choral conductors sweat over.
And live? Beautiful.
5/5
