Description

Part I
The first part of the song starts off mellow.[2]
Part II
In the Muse Q&A in November 2008, Dominic Howard stated that the song would change genres throughout, indicating a significantly different middle section.[2]
Part III
The third part of the song will be "very heavy indeed".[2]
Additional information
The song was first mentioned in March 2008 as a "15-minute space-rock solo"[3] and mentioned by the band numerous times after that. Prior to that, it had been alluded to by Matt in 2007 as "a few bits and pieces that we kind of set to one side that were ... a little bit too progressive and symphonic for [Black Holes and Revelations]", suggesting that the band may have first attempted to record it in 2005.[4]
The orchestral elements of the song are arranged by Matthew Bellamy. He stated he wanted to do this himself as he "never wanted to collaborate with a string arranger as they may make it 'theirs'".[1]
