==Description==
A "misleading" [[Showbiz (album)|Showbiz]]-era style intro of tinkly piano, which then proceeds into Origin of Symmetry era sound, riffs and distortion.


==Additional information==
== Description ==
New Born began life as a piece played in sound check on the 1999 tour, while supporting the Foo Fighters, and the piano intro was written afterwards.<ref name="xfm20071007">{{cite/xfm20071007}}</ref> During the recording of the album in the [[David Bottrill]] sessions, the band experimented with using Bellamy's voice for the intro in place of a piano, but decided that this was too abstract and removed it post-recording.<ref name="xfm20071007"/> Bellamy attributed this to things sounding better when experiencing the effect of magic mushrooms, which Muse were using during said recording sessions.<ref name="xfm20071007"/>


[[Matthew Bellamy]] on New Born: "a feeling of not being connected to each other, but we are, and it's a feeling of the mind evolving from the body, but when that happens you just get this yearn to do something physical and feel something sensational, physical-ness-ness".
Announced on March 11th, 2022, their second song off to be released and to be featured on [[Will of the People (album)|Will of the People]], Compliance, is set to be released on March 17th, 2022.<ref>https://twitter.com/muse/status/1502298309368631296</ref> The song, and its music video, leaked two days earlier, on March 15th, 2022, through Vimeo.<ref>https://vimeo.com/688432698</ref>


On the single the ending (using sampled vocals) fades out gently, unlike the version found on the album [[Origin of Symmetry]].

==Lyrics==
According to Matt Bellamy, "''Compliance is about the promise of safety and reassurance sold to us by powerful entities during times of vulnerability. Gangs, governments, demagogues, social media algorithms & religions seduce us with misleading untruths and comforting fables. They want us to join their narrow worldview in exchange for obedience and turning a blind eye to our own internal voice of reason & compassion. They just need our Compliance.''"<ref>https://twitter.com/muse/status/1502298309368631296</ref>
<pre>Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze


The love for what you hide
The song is mostly reminiscent of elements from 80s and 90s pop and synthpop, while bringing in some elements of big beat. The the guitar lick during the verses, and the synth solo line are reminiscent to the Knight Rider theme song.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWDZsKSGoVg</ref>
The bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born


When you've seen, seen
== Instrumentation ==
Too much,
Too young, young
Soulless is everywhere


Hopeless time to roam
Compliance is based around organic elements, with a simple drum part, almost sounding like its looped, and a distinctive bass line riding throughout the entire song. The song doesn't appear to include a lot of guitar, apart from the palm-muted "Knight Rider" one in the verses and the final chorus, and the heavily-synthisized guitar during the solo. It also seems to include a keytar during the solo and the final chorus. The lead synth during the chorus was inspired by Van Halen's Jump, as it (the Jump synth) was heard in an Instagram video, posted by [[Aleks Von Korff]] in Muse's studio back in 2021.<ref>https://www.instagram.com/p/CK7TfsWhZl-/</ref> The song runs at a tempo of 110BPM.
The distance to your home
Fades away to nowhere


How much are you worth?
During the solo, Bellamy can faintly be heard beatboxing, giving the already distorted drums during that part a turntable-ish effect.
You can't come down to earth
You're swelling up
You're unstoppable


'Cause you've seen, seen

Directed by Jeremi Durand, the music video is loosely continuing the theme from Won't Stand Down's music video. More can be read [[Compliance (video)|here]].

Wasting our last chance to come away
Just break the silence

Love of your life, will mend your broken heart


When you've seen, seen
Life lived in fear, you need protection,
Too much,

You’ve bitten off much more than you can chew
Is growing like the new born
You’re running scared, you’ll run into our arms
Come join our clique, we’ll keep you safe from harm


When you've seen, seen
Our toy soldier, you’ll do the dirty work
Too much,
Stay loyal to us, we’ll take away the hurt

We have what you need, just reach out and serve
Too much,

Too young, young

Additional information

According to Matt Bellamy, "Compliance is about the promise of safety and reassurance sold to us by powerful entities during times of vulnerability.

They want us to join their narrow worldview in exchange for obedience and turning a blind eye to our own internal voice of reason & compassion. They just need our Compliance."[3]

The song is mostly reminiscent of elements from 80s and 90s pop and synthpop, while bringing in some elements of big beat. The the guitar lick during the verses, and the synth solo line are reminiscent to the Knight Rider theme song.[4]

Instrumentation

Compliance is based around organic elements, with a simple drum part, almost sounding like its looped, and a distinctive bass line riding throughout the entire song. The song doesn't appear to include a lot of guitar, apart from the palm-muted "Knight Rider" one in the verses and the final chorus, and the heavily-synthisized guitar during the solo. It also seems to include a keytar during the solo and the final chorus. The lead synth during the chorus was inspired by Van Halen's Jump, as it (the Jump synth) was heard in an Instagram video, posted by Aleks Von Korff in Muse's studio back in 2021.[5] The song runs at a tempo of 110BPM.

During the solo, Bellamy can faintly be heard beatboxing, giving the already distorted drums during that part a turntable-ish effect.
