Information and Description
Another powerful bass b-side.
According to Matt at the London's Shepherds Bush gig, he wanted Easily to appear in Black Holes and Revelations but it didn't make the final cut due being recorded just a little too late after the recording sessions for Black Holes had finished. The bass and the drums were recorded first and then Matt added the vocals and the guitars later. It's one of Matt's favourite songs.
Release
Easily is the B-side to Starlight. It surfaced August ~10th as a ~20 second clip from a person known as Mr X, the file was tagged as "easily_forgotten". On the 15th, another file surfaced on Muselive.com, protected by a code which was left for people to solve. This was eventually solved, revealing a 30 second clip along with another message within a plain text file informing that "Mr. X" will be back the following week. In an AIM chat using qua@aol.com, Matt was asked who "Mr. X was", and replied it was someone from the record company.[1]
The song was leaked onto YouTube the day before the release date. The song's lyrics seem to describe a near-perfect sexual experience that cannot be forgotten.
Lyrics
Oh ...
Let your inhibitions go Make every touch electrical When you're feeling beautiful Will you remember me?
I want to touch you deep inside And find the secrets that you hide When your fears are cast aside Will you remember me?
Easily forgotten love Easily forgotten love It's not so easily
I just want to let you know My mind refuses to let you go I wanna hypnotise you so You will remember me
Easily forgotten love Easily forgotten love It's not so easily
Easily forgotten love Easily forgotten love Easily the best I ever had Easily the best I ever had
