| A "misleading" [[Showbiz (album)|Showbiz]]-era style intro of tinkly piano, which then proceeds into Origin of Symmetry era sound, riffs and distortion.

| ==Matthew Bellamy's definition of New Born== | | ==Information== |
| | Both an electric and acoustic version were recorded. The electric version is officially referred to simply as "''Shine''" and includes the arpeggios from [[Bliss (song)|Bliss]] and from the chorus of [[Falling Away With You (song)|Falling Away With You]], whereas the acoustic version is referred to as "''Shine Acoustic''". The lyrics between the two versions differ very slightly; in the second verse of "''Shine''", Matt says 'you should have teased', whereas in "''Shine Acoustic''" he says 'you used to tease'. |
|
| |
|
| "A feeling of not being connected to each other, but we are, and it's a feeling of the mind evolving from the body, but when that happens you just get this yearn to do something physical and feel something sensational, physical-ness-ness".
| | ==Music trivia== |
| | | Throughout the acoustic version, thunder and rain can be heard. Also, at 0:34 in the acoustic version, [[Dominic Howard]] can be heard saying "1, 2, 3, 4". |
| "It's about a semi-fear of the evolution of technology,
| |
| and how in reality it's destroying all humanity.
| |
| My fear is that we can't control it because it's moving faster than we are,
| |
| so the songs setting myself in a location in the future where the body is no longer important
| |
| and everyone's plugged into a network. The opening line is 'link it to the world',
| |
| so it's connecting yourself on a worldwide scale and being born into another reality,
| |
| in a way it's on the same lines as the film The Matrix,
| |
| but we weren't intending on copying their idea on technology and how it has evolved."<ref>Rock Sound - 2001</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Composition== | |
| New Born is an electronic/alternative rock song written in the key of E minor. It opens with broken piano chords (arpeggios), until a sustained chord is played, followed by fuzzy guitar which leads into the main part of the song. The song moves at a fairly fast tempo, with the intro playing at 147 bpm, before increasing to 153 bpm. Interestingly, the intro is played a lot faster live, while the rest of the song is generally played slower. Even more interestingly, both parts of the song have decreased in speed over time.
| |
| | |
| Bellamy's vocal range spans from F♯3 to E5. The outro features sampled vocals.
| |
| | |
| ==Additional information==
| |
| New Born began life as a piece played in sound check on the 2000 tour, while supporting the Foo Fighters, and the piano intro was written afterwards.<ref name="xfm20071007">{{cite/xfm20071007}}</ref> Matt didn't originally like the name "New Born", instead wanting to call the song either "Strangle" or "Strangulation".<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20040611052116fw_/http://216.58.174.210/plush-plushnet/muse/newone/extra/index.htm]</ref> During the recording of the album in the [[David Bottrill]] sessions, the band experimented with using Bellamy's voice for the intro in place of a piano, but decided that this was too abstract and removed it post-recording.<ref name="xfm20071007"/> Bellamy attributed this to things sounding better when experiencing the effect of magic mushrooms, which Muse were using during said recording sessions.<ref name="xfm20071007"/>
| |
| | |
| On the single the ending (using sampled vocals) fades out gently, unlike the version found on the album [[Origin of Symmetry]].
| |
| | |
| The song was played very commonly throughout the Origin of Symmetry, Absolution, Black Holes and Revelations and Resistance Tours. It was also played regulary during The 2nd Law Tour in rotation with Stockholm Syndrome. However, it made very rare appearances during the Drones Tour. This makes it the 4th most played Muse song live.

| New Born began life as a piece played in sound check on the 2000 tour, while supporting the Foo Fighters, and the piano intro was written afterwards. The song was played very commonly throughout the Origin of Symmetry, Absolution, Black Holes and Revelations and Resistance Tours. It was also played regularly during The 2nd Law Tour in rotation with Stockholm Syndrome, though the latter was played more often. However, it made very rare appearances during the Drones Tour and was not played at all in 2016. It did return in 2017 and 2018, but collectively only for three gigs. This makes it the 4th most played Muse song live.
