Starlight
Muse Lyrics
Far away
The ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
The starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive
Now I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
Far away
The ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold

Read Full Bio"Starlight" is a song by British alternative rock band Muse and is the second track on their 2006 album Black Holes and Revelations. It was released on 4 September 2006 in the United Kingdom as the second single from Black Holes and Revelations. The song peaked at #13 on the UK Singles Chart. It was also the second single released in the United States, reaching number two on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. The song was first played live during the Radio 1's Big Weekend festival in summer 2006. In live performances "Starlight" is usually played half a step down from the key of B used on Black Holes & Revelations.
"Starlight" was first written in the band's practice studio in late 2004. Bassist Chris Wolstenholme said that it is "a love song about missing someone, friends, family, someone you love." Lead singer Matt Bellamy commented that he first wrote the song on a boat in bad weather.
In a separate interview with Tom Wilson and Lara Mathews, posted on MuseLive Forums, Wolstenholme was asked what he thought "was the hardest song on the album to record?" His response was "Starlight," stating it "was one of the songs we went around in circles with, and we recorded maybe six or seven different versions of it."
An alternative mix of "Starlight", known as the "New Mix, "Radio Mix" or "Radio Version" was distributed on promotional media only. This version was presumably created to give the song a sound more suitable for radio broadcast.
Muse worked with Paul Minor on Starlight's music video, which was filmed in Los Angeles. In the video, the band perform on the deck of the MS Ocean Chie, a handysize bulk carrier. Band members are also carrying flares, in an attempt to "get rescued," but in the end this fails and they are abandoned. This relates to the song's lyrics, which mentions ships and abandonment.
Matthew Bellamy stated in an interview with The Sunday Mail that the band wanted to "create the idea of a band lost at sea because we see ourselves as being outside what's happening in the music scene." He also told the interviewer, Billy Sloan, that "it was an epic feeling playing on a huge platform with the sea all around us."
"Starlight" received mixed critical reviews, from various publishers.
NME's review was harshly critical of the song, with the reviewer stating that the song "is a tune so chart-hungry it's virtually dry-humping JK and Joel's legs."
MusicOMH stated that the song was "a track perfectly at home on drivetime radio" while saying it "showcases another side to the band's music and their staggering breadth of appeal."
Meanwhile, Leeds Music Scene reviewer Maria Pinto-Fernandes gave "Starlight" a glowing review, with a score of 4.5 stars out of 5. In her review, she commented that "the band's musical arrangements on the track do not come into being just by accident." She also stated that the song was just as passionate when performed live as when heard on CD.
"Starlight" entered the UK Singles Chart the week of September 3 at number 38 via digital downloads. The following week, and with the physical release in the United Kingdom, the single peaked at number 13. Since then, the single's chart position steadily declined, and it remained in the Top 75 after fifteen weeks, during the week of December 11, 2006. The next week, "Starlight" had fallen out of the Top 75.
"Starlight" has also peaked at number two on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart, Muse's second highest charting single to date on any major chart in the US. It also charted in at number nine on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2006. It was also ranked at number four on Colombian radio station Radiónica's 2006 top 100.

Far away
The ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
The starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
My life
You electrify my life
Let's conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive
Now I'll never let you go
If you promised not to fade away
Never fade away
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
Far away
The ship is taking me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die
And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold

@Kobe Keats Thanks for responding you’re asking very good questions. You asked me if someone can go to heaven if they don’t believe. The answer is no and here’s why. First the Bible says
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
Acts 4:12
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
According to God Jesus is the only way. Now I saw you said you believe your not a bad person. God says,
Romans 3:23
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Ecclesiastes 7:20
Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
Romans 3:10-12
As it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”
Now u might not believe scripture u might be like I know I’m not a bad person. Well then let’s play a game , let’s put you to the test and fined out.
Have you ever lied before? What do you call someone who tells lies? What does that make you? If u were in a relationship where the person kept lying to you, wouldn’t u say they’re a bad person and untrustworthy?
Have you ever stolen before? What do u call someone who steals? If ur in a relationship and the person lies and steals from u wouldn't you say their a bad person and call the police?
Jesus says if u look with lust your committing adultery already in ur heart? Have you looked with lust at someone? Have u looked at pornography? If your in a relationship and someone lies to u steals from u and cheats on you are they not a bad person?
Jesus said if u hate someone you have committed murder in ur heart. Have you ever hated someone? If your in a relationship and the person lies to u, steals from u, cheats on u, and tries to murder u, are they a not a bad person? Should you not be separated from them? Should the cops not put them in jail for their crimes?
There's 6 more but when we do this we're going down the Ten Commandments, the moral Law of God what's good and bad. We see all us humans fall on the bad side. God standard of Good is moral perfection since God is perfect. We humans all fall short of that standard. Which is why we need Jesus. Jesus is God and God is righteous so Jesus lives a perfect sinless life and has the ability to not sin because he’s God. He took the punishment we deserve on the cross so if you Trust in him as your Lord and savior you will be saved from Hell. God really cares and loves us that much that he died on a cross and took our punishment so that if you believe in Jesus as Lord and savior you will be saved.
And here's some vids to test you if u wantu to see if your a good person or bad person.🙂
1st:
https://youtu.be/uZdv-TtiMkg
2nd: https://youtu.be/8OpiDWTpz2Y
Watch these vids and test yourself and see if u are good?
Also if u have more questions about Christianity look up Got questions ministries on YouTube and google. Just type your question in search bar then type Got questions their site should come up🙂. God bless you and take care
