What better way to kick off my music section then by posting the music video for the song “Uprising” by the band Muse. I love this song. With all of the mind numbing, brain washing music out there like Lady Gaga and the rest, let me hear a HIP-HIP-HOO-FREAKIN-RAY for music with a real message. I take a look back at a lot of the rock and pop music from the 80’s and all though I’m aware that there has always been garbage out there, there also seemed to be a lot of honesty and substance. A lot of today’s music seems so lifeless to me. A cut and paste money making scheme is all that it is. It’s not art.

So this section will be a regular tribute to bands that have valuable qualities, messages or intentions that can be associated with real art. Of course, what is “real art” is up to the discernment of you, the reader, but I hope that you can see where I’m going with this.

Today’s Post: “UPRISING” by Muse

I have a few thoughts about this song. First off: the song and the video where both done very well. Me likes. Secondly, they are obviously unhappy with the growing Kleptocracy that has grown like a fungus from our country’s government. I for one am so relieved that there are busy, accomplished people out there taking the time to look into things and not just take Fox News’ proverbial word for it. All though I like to focus mostly on the positive there are certainly a lot of injustices happening around the world at this time and it’s my job to make sure that people are well informed so that we can all define, individually and as a collective, what we truly want.

Note: the giant angry teddies seem to symbolize the idea of “the sleeping giant.” Meaning that we as the people have been asleep to the truth for a long time but very soon things will get so bad that we’ll HAVE to wake up. 

Thank you Muse for writing good music and putting your message out there for the empowerment and inspiration of all.

There's more where this came from. I'll be posting some more good music, along with my thoughts, during the ensuing weeks.

Until then I wish you the best of the best every day and in every way.

Sincerely Siege
