I loved it when Ski Sunday had this as their theme. Snowboarding and Muse, i think that's what heaven is made of.

I could never get bored of listening to this song. It takes you with it and you get lost in the moment. Fantastic and amazing live. Muse are truly one of the greatest bands to have formed in the past 30 years.
