“Take a Bow” by Muse

"Take a Bow" comes from Black Holes and Revelations, Muse's fourth studio album, released in 2006 on Warner Bros. and Helium-3. Rich Costey produced the album over four months in London, Milan, New York City and the south of France, and the band came out of it with a changed sound, drawing on everything from Depeche Mode and Sly and the Family Stone to the music of southern Italy, while the lyrics kept chasing political and dystopian themes.

Matt Bellamy wrote "Take a Bow" alone and sings it, playing guitar and keyboard, with Christopher Wolstenholme on bass and backing vocals and Dominic Howard on drums and percussion. Around Art supply strings and Edoardo de Angelis plays violin. Costey co-produced it with the band, mixed it and recorded it with Claudius Mittendorfer.
