Muse are teasing a genuinely epic and cinematic new single, Be With You.
The band have unveiled a one-minute and 26-second video from a beautiful church – via the YouTube comments, it appears to be the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles – where frontman Matt Bellamy is playing the organ and singing about how, ‘It seems my life’s been swallowed up / I’ve used up every ounce of luck / I need to leap into the fire, found a higher power and reach for something new.’
In typically mysterious Muse fashion, the end of the video features a quick flash of the following numbers and letters: 6EQUJ5. As fans on Reddit have noted, that’s a reference to the 1977 Wow! signal that appeared to point towards extra-terrestrials. What does that mean for this next era, then?
This’ll be the trio’s first new music since last year’s single Unravelling – check out the video below, and watch this space.
