Description
Apparently the first song on The Resistance with a guitar solo.[2]
Recording
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.
In an interview, Dom said that while recording the snare drum in the field of sheep, the mics were close to a river so each time he plays the snare drum in the song, the river can be heard along with it.
Lyrics
Impure hearts stumble In my hands they crumble And fragile and stripped to the core I can't hurt you anymore Loved 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 When 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 When there's no guiding light left inside When there's no guiding light in our lives
