According to ''NME'', "Madness" draws influences from Queen's "I Want to Break Free", George Michael's "Faith" and some instrumental elements of his other hit "I Want Your Sex".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The 2nd Law - Album Summary - News )〕 During a preview of ''The 2nd Law'' on French site Jeuxactu, the song was said to resemble Depeche Mode and described as "calm, languid and sweet".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Muse : on a écouté The 2nd Law en avant-première )〕 Matthew Bellamy stated that the song started as a personal reflection after a fight with his girlfriend Kate Hudson, and how, after she had gone to her mother's house, he began to realise "yeah, she was right, wasn't she?" In a separate interview, Bellamy stated the song was the band's attempt to strip down the sound of the album, and that the song has its roots in 12 bar blues with gospel, soul and R&B influences. He went on to conclude that, "It's the song I'm probably most proud of on the album for sure." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Madness (Muse song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
