Beautiful and underrated song from Muse’s fourth album "Black Holes and Revelations". The track starts out quiet with only Spanish guitar and lyrics and then slowly builds up with added guitar, piano, drums and strings until a romantic crescendo, before slowly descending into a quiet outro in style with the intro.
In geology, a hoodoo is a tall, thin spire of rock, usually accompanied by a large rock on the top of the spire. One of the fascinations with hoodoos is that they appear unstable. This notion parallels the relationship mentioned in the song, which appears to be destined to fall however they try to work through it. The word ‘hoodoo’ also means bad luck, misfortune, and a really unlucky person, which can be associated to the troubles described in the song.
The lyrics were voted “Lyric of the Decade” in 2009 by readers of Q Magazine.
