Blackout is a song by British rock band Muse, released on their third studio album Absolution in 2003. Known for its orchestral arrangement and romantic, melancholic tone, it stood out from the band's heavier guitar-driven tracks. The intro's string-led build has made it a favorite for fan edits and cinematic compilations, where its slow drama works without lyrics getting in the way. Its continued use comes from that timeless, film-score quality that fits emotional storytelling across genres.

The orchestral intro of Blackout by Muse, with swelling strings and a dark cinematic build. Creators use it for dramatic reveals, emotional edits and intros.
This clip captures the opening fourteen seconds of Blackout by Muse, built around a slow orchestral string arrangement. Violins swell gently over low sustained tones, creating a dark, romantic tension that feels cinematic rather than rocky. There are no drums or vocals in this section, just layered strings rising and falling with a mournful elegance. As an intro it sets a somber, dramatic mood, making a scene feel larger and more emotional, like the quiet moment before a revelation or a sweeping visual transition.
