Muse

Who are Muse?
For my music video I have chosen the song "Supermassive Black Hole" from the album "The Resistance" from the band Muse which is an English alternative rock band that consists of three members Matthew Bellamy, Christopher Wolstenholme and Dominic Howard, the chosen song "Supermassive Black Hole" is a metaphor for emotions and that the lead singer is singing about a character who is emotionaly empty and all his feelings mean nothing.
