== Description ==
Matt said, "This track is about a troubled relationship and is influenced by 1980s cheesy stadium rock! There is a guitar solo with a deliberate screaming harmonic. These types of harmonies have been banned from rock music for at least 18 years, possibly longer."<ref>iTunes LP - The Resistance</ref>
The second song on ''The Resistance'' with a guitar solo. The intro is a crossfade from [[United States of Eurasia (song)]], featuring the same jetfighter sound.
The drums at the start bear a heavy resemblance to "Vienna" by [[Ultravox]]
This song is treated as a joke by many online members of the Muse fanbase and is often used in humourous acts. Examples of this included the leaked release of [[Drones (album) | Drones]] months early, which turned out to be the released songs up until that point and several renditions of Guiding Light afterwards, and the repeated edits to Setlist.fm's statistics for new Muse gigs to include many performances of Guiding Light (sometimes over twenty) and mock titles such as "Supermassive Guiding Light" and "Guiding Light Syndrome".
== Recording ==
According to a video posted by Zane Lowe prior to the release of "The Resistance", Matt said that while recording this song in Milan, the music was so loud that a neighbour came over and began banging on the door. The banging can apparently be heard near the end of the song if the drums are isolated.
In an interview, Dom said that while recording the snare drum in [[Matt Bellamy's Sheep|the field of sheep]]<ref>

}}</ref>, the mics were close to a river so each time he plays the snare drum in the song, the river can be heard along with it.
==Live==


The often-maligned Guiding Light appeared on both The Resistance and The 2nd Law tours. Unlike most other non-singles off of The Resistance, Guiding Light was performed several times on the 2011 tour. Though it was not played particularly often, Guiding Light returned for The Unsustainable Tour in 2013, most likely because it was Matt's girlfriend's at the time, Kate Hudson, favourite Muse song. Fans began to deride Guiding Light even more because of this tour and it has not been performed since, likely due to it being completely different from the theme of the Drones tour.

|Pure hearts stumble
|
In my hands they crumble
And fragile and stripped to the core
I can't hurt you anymore
 
Loved by numbers,
You're losing life's wonder
Touch like strangers; detached
I can't feel you anymore
 
There's sunshine trapped in our hearts
It could rise again
But I'm lost, and crushed, and cold, and confused
With no guiding light left inside
 
You were my guiding light
 
When comfort and warmth can't be found
I still reach for you
But I'm lost, and crushed, and cold, and confused
With no guiding light left inside
 
You're my guiding light
You're my guiding light
When there's no guiding light left inside
When there's no guiding light in our lives
