Information
One of the few songs in the record on which Matt Bellamy is only credited on its composition. A song, similar in structure to "Hanging in Victory Square", it starts with some strings and evolves into a pop-electronic track, similar to the work in Simulation Theory and The 2nd Law, but with a "The Resistance" era feel.
It is the theme song of Julia, the romantic interest of Winston and one of the main characters in the book, Winston at first believes that she is part of the Thought Police or of a conspiracy to destroy him when he receives a love note from her, eventually, he discovers that she is the only one in whom he can trust.
–What is your name?– said Winston. –Julia. I know yours. It’s Winston, Winston Smith.– –How did you find that out?– –I expect I’m better at finding things out than you are, dear. Tell me, what did you think of me before that day I gave you the note?–
― George Orwell, 1984
