Description
A "misleading" Showbiz-era style intro of tinkly piano, which then proceeds into Origin of Symmetry era sound, riffs and distortion.
Additional information
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.[1] 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.[1] Bellamy attributed this to things sounding better when experiencing the effect of magic mushrooms, which Muse were using during said recording sessions.[1]
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".
On the single the ending (using sampled vocals) fades out gently, unlike the version found on the album Origin of Symmetry.
Lyrics
Link it to the world Link it to yourself Stretch it like a birth squeeze The love for what you hide The bitterness inside Is growing like the new born When you've seen, seen Too much, Too young, young Soulless is everywhere Hopeless time to roam The distance to your home Fades away to nowhere How much are you worth? You can't come down to earth You're swelling up You're unstoppable 'Cause you've seen, seen Too much Too young, young Soulless is everywhere Destroy the spineless Show me it's real Wasting our last chance to come away Just break the silence 'cause I'm drifting away Away from you Link it to the world Link it to yourself Stretch it like it's a birth squeeze And the love for what you hide And the bitterness inside Is growing like the new born When you've seen, seen Too much, Too young, young Soulless is everywhere Destroy the spineless Show me it's real Wasting our last chance To come away Just break the silence 'Cause I'm drifting away Away from you

Link it to the world Link it to yourself Stretch it like a birth squeeze The love for what you hide The bitterness inside Is growing like the new born When you've seen, seen Too much, Too young, young Soulless is everywhere Link it to the world Link it to yourself Stretch it like a birth squeeze The love for what you hide The bitterness inside Is growing like the new born When you've seen, seen Too much, When you've seen, seen Too much, Too young, young Soulless is everywhere
