| == Description == | | == Description == |
| "Resistance" opens with piano and drums and has a Queen-esque chorus.<ref name="le200907"/> Described in NME magazine as having "tribals drums and a piano melody in the style of '[[Starlight (song)|Starlight]].'"<ref>{{cite/NME 2009-07-22}}</ref> In the September 2009 issue of Spin, Matt said, "The song 'Resistance' is basically a retelling of the relationship between Winston and Julia," in reference to the two main characters of [[George Orwell]]'s [[Nineteen Eighty-Four]]. The eerie keyboard layers in the verse of the track also include an Ondes Martenot, an early synthesizer championed by [[Radiohead]] guitarist Jonny Greenwood, as shown in 'The Making Of The Resistance.'
| |
|
| |
|
| Matt said, "This song started off as an extension of [[Map of the Problematique (song)|'Map of the Problematique']] with a bit of influence from early 'The Police'. It is very much based on the book '1984' by George Orwell particularly the romance between Winston and Julia and the description of the act of sex and love as something political, the only place offering freedom from Big Brother. The song is also about any love which crosses boundaries such as religion or strong political beliefs and the subsequent recognition of the unimportance and divisiveness of such beliefs."<ref>iTunes LP - The Resistance</ref>
| | The song's title has been "officially" leaked on March 14th, 2022 via the JSON output from [https://wontstanddown.muse.mu/api/v1/catalogue/new/ wontstanddown.muse.mu], which contains basic album info. |
|
| |
|
| == Information == | | == Live == |
| "Resistance" makes music reference to "[[Citizen Erased (song)|Citizen Erased]]" from ''[[Origin of Symmetry (album)|Origin of Symmetry]]'', which also draws lyrical influences from Orwell's ''Nineteen Eighty-Four''.
| |
|
| |
|
| On the 11th January 2010, it was announced through Muse.mu that "Resistance" would be the third single from ''[[The Resistance (album)|The Resistance]]''.
| | == Lyrics == |
| | |
| The song has been included in a piece of downloadable content for the game "Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock." This is the 8th Muse song to feature in a "Guitar Hero" game.
| |
| | |
| The song has been nominated for 2 Grammy Awards for '''Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals''' and '''Best Rock Song'''.<ref>http://muse.mu/news/article/726/muse-nominated-for-three-grammys/</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Recording==
| |
| The song was one of the first on ''The Resistance'' described by the band before recording began, describing it as "sound[ing] a little like ‘New Year’s Day" by [[U2]].<ref name="hp200802721">{{cite |

| In an interview with Guitar Player magazine (July 2010) Matt revealed that he recorded the guitar solo with the [[Fender Aloha Stratocaster]].

| ==Live==
| |
| | |
| Dom mentioned that the song is one of his favourites playing live, however, Matt doesn't wants to play the song very often because he thinks the song doesn't get the 'reaction' he was expecting the song deserves, however, Dom has convinced him to play the song.<ref name="Radio X in conversation with Muse | FULL interview">

| Resistance was played at almost every date of The Resistance tour mostly because of the fact that it was a moderately huge single off of the album. It has since maintained irregular performances throughout The 2nd Law and Drones tours, though it has been performed increasingly less common throughout the years. Because it is a slower song, it was left out of most of the Drones Festival Tour though it was played very often during the 360 Tour later that year.

| |Is our secret safe tonight | | | |
| and are we out of sight
| |
| or will our world come tumbling down?
| |
| Will they find our hiding place
| |
| is this our last embrace
| |
| or will the walls start caving in?
| |
| | |
| It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should've been right
| |
| It could be wrong, could be wrong, to let our hearts ignite
| |
| It could be wrong, could be wrong, are we digging a hole?
| |
| It could be wrong, could be wrong, this is out of control
| |
| It could be wrong, could be wrong, it could never last
| |
| It could be wrong, could be wrong, must erase it fast
| |
| It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it could've been right
| |
| It could be wrong, could be...
| |
| | |
| Love is our resistance
| |
| They'll keep us apart and they won't stop breaking us down
| |
| Hold me
| |
| Our lips must always be sealed
| |
| | |
| If we live a life in fear
| |
| I'll wait a thousand years
| |
| Just to see you smile again
| |
| Kill your prayers for love and peace
| |
| You'll wake the thought police
| |
| We can't hide the truth inside
| |

| It could be wrong, could be wrong, but it should've been right

| The night has reached its end
| |
| We can't pretend

| We must run

| Take us away from here

| Protect us from further harm
