Analysis and Explanation

The song was first played in 2001 on the Origin of Symmetry Tour with it continuing to make regular appearances throughout 2001. It got a few plays the following year before getting dropped in May 2002. It wasn't played again for 6 years until the 2008 Royal Albert Hall gig where it was played on the massive organ featured in the hall. It was played a handful of times in 2011, the most notable at the Reading and Leeds gigs where the band played Origin of Symmetry start to finish, before getting dropped yet again.

It's unknown why the song has been dropped from setlists, but the difficulty of playing it live and how different the song is in contrast to Muse's usual sound are the likely reasons. As it stands it looks highly unlikely the song will be played live again, though it was a setlist option for the 2017 Shepherd's Bush Empire by-request show, indicating the band haven't given up on the song yet.
