RS - Bliss - first + latest live performance

Muse's first performance of Bliss was at the Bizarre Festival on the 18th of August 2000. The song had not been released yet and the lyrics are not the same as the studio recorded version. This version of the song is quite different to the album version as it contains a very "16-bit" inspired synth in it.

Here are the lyrics that are sung for this early version:

Everything about you pains my envying 
Your soul can't hate anything 
Everything about you resonates happiness 
Now I won't settle for less 

Peace and joy in your mind 
I want the peace and joy in your mind 
Give me peace and joy in your mind 
I want the peace and the joy in your mind 

Everything about you is what I wanna be 
Your freedom comes naturally 
Everything about you is so easy to love
Now I won't settle for less 

Peace and joy in your mind 
I want the peace and the joy in your mind
Give me peace and joy in your mind 
I want the peace and joy in your mind 

Peace and joy in your mind 
Peace and joy in your mind 
Peace ... ooh.


Here is the most recent performance of Bliss (extended version) at this years Reading Festival on the 28th of August 2011. This version contains the now very famous "Matt Bellamy falsetto" at the start of the final chorus, Bellamy does not do this on the album version however since around 2003 he has added it to the song. There is even a fan made video showing "the best of Matt Bellamy's Bliss Falsetto".
