Description
Apparently the first song on The Resistance with a guitar solo.[2]
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.[3]
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 neighbor 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.
Lyrics
Pure hearts stumble In my hands they crumble And fragile and stripped to the core I can't hurt you anymore Learn 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 And 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 And there's no guiding light left inside There's no guiding light in our lives
