The story behind the song

"Resistance" is the title track from Muse's 2009 album, a song that draws inspiration from George Orwell's novel Nineteen Eighty-Four. The lyrics explore themes of government oppression and civil uprising, which became central to Muse's work around this period. The band, known for their energetic live performances and a blend of melancholic alternative rock with classical and electronic influences, here delivers a powerful statement. Playing this song channels a spirit of defiance against control.
