Muse - Starlight Dir: Paul Minor
one of those videos where the concept really has nothing to do with the song (which is fine) until they reach that one oh-so-literal line "this ship is taking me far away..."
I'm guessing they wanted to do a performance video after the high-concept knights of cydonia... but this just felt sparse.... aren't there a million things to shoot on a boat? i mean besides the same helicopter shot?

A real shame.
Yeah, very disappointing. Matt hardly moves at all from that one spot in the entire video.
This youtube version is actually the label cut. The director's cut is significantly different:
