UNGODLY HOUR DELUXE EDITION

In advance of their upcoming world tour, The Muses release the Ungodly Hours Deluxe Edition album. Along with the album they released Sweet Melody as a single, dropping a music video to go along with the song as well.

Underneath the read more is a breakdown of all the songs added to the deluxe edition of the album - along with links to the song and explanations of which girls wrote it and why.

reggaeton lento. w. calliope muse, clio muse, chip skylark & skip sparkypants. // ten months into attempting to finish his new album, chip skylark finds himself in a precarious situation. a deadline fast approaching and not a single concrete idea to show his label. chip turns to the muses for help, hoping to sit in on one of their writing sessions in an effort to feel re-motivated about the work he does or at the very least pick up some tips on how to write a song. in the end, chip contributed very little to the writing process, following the girls lead on a large majority of it. skip joins for a few writing sessions as well, goths boys offering little more than translating English lyrics into Spanish for the girls and rearrangement.

attention w. calliope muse & clio muse // it’s rare for clio muse to ever have a moment where she sits down and evaluates her life and emotions. but it does happen on occasion. and writing attention was one of those times. it’s after one of the many fights with danny fenton that results in the two going a few days without talking to each other that clio gets a little bit wine drunk and writes the first draft of the song - unloading all of her feelings and reasonings for why she behaves the way she does around her current boyfriend. how she’d rather be in a rocky, mess of a relationship than be single. how so long as she’s getting any type of attention it’s better than him leaving and clio being left on her own. it’s not polished by any means but it’s a start. clio originally had no intentions of going further with it, but upon reading it over the next morning when she was more sober she realized that it wasn’t too bad of a song and went to calli to fix it up. it’s slightly embarrassing, being so open with her sister like that - and at first she almost doesn’t even want it on the album, but in the end her desire to have another writing credit on the deluxe edition wins out over the potential embarrassment of being so vulnerable in front of all their fans - and danny, who she bans from ever listening to the song if he can help it.

sweet melody. w. calliope muse & clio muse // six months - that’s how long clio muse was in a relationship with gaston legume - one of the longest she had ever been in at the time and one that she thought was going well. it was the first time she’d felt so sure in her feelings for someone else. he was older and got on her nerves almost all of the time, but he was handsome and charming - and really what more could she have asked for? well, loyalty to start with. for the last three months of their relationship gaston had been cheating left and right on clio, something she had seen warning signs of but every time she brought it up he denied them and lied until she dropped it, believing that she must just be overthinking things. until the day she caught him and realized that all those red flags over the past months had been real. though it’s been a year, clio’s still pissed off every time she so much as thinks about the man. and when she finds out her little sister’s best friend has also been cheated on by gaston, she can no longer sit back and do nothing. after helping the two destroy his car and writing a song with penny proud about it, clio goes home, grabs calli, and they write another song - sweet melody. it’s a song expressing the way she felt played and used - written in the best way either of them know how to describe it, musical metaphors.

forgive me. w. clio muse & penelope proud // act first and ask for forgiveness later. after the devastating blow of learning that she was being cheated on by gaston legume, an angry penny turned to her best friend teri and her sister clio, another victim of gaston's infidelity. rather than lament about broken hearts and lost love, the girls decided to put the power back in their own hands. they refused to let their self-worth plummet because of one man that was unworthy of their love and attention to begin with, taking their anger and turning it into action. baseball bats smashed the pristine finish of his red ferrari as laughter filled the still night air, empowerment and control washing over them with every blow to his prized possession. before the high could wear off, the girls sat down and penned out a message to gaston, their words crystal clear: forgive me for taking my power back and rediscovering my self-worth. forgive me for no longer letting you have the control. forgive me acts as an anthem for the fans, reminding them to take control; don't waste your time waiting for permission.

motive. w. calliope muse, melpomene muse & penelope proud // the muses utilize airy ethereal harmonies on the house influenced track in an effort to make a fun dance track out of subject matter that’s hardly meant to be light. in the early stages of knowing benny, mel finds herself struggling with the sane trust issues that have plagued all her relationships before, only now a thousand times worse. the decision to feature penny on the track is almost immediate. friendship with the sisters aside, the muses unanimously showed an interest in working with penny once she started posting new music on social media.

positions. w. calliope muse & melpomene muse. // promises never kept, that’s the story behind positions. as things with benny slowly started becoming more serious, mel found that she once again was shutting down and refusing to even entertain the idea of confronting her feelings. when benny confessed his own feelings mel reacted the way she always does — avoidance. after reflection and a lot of venting to layla and rex, mel turns to the one thing she’s always had, art. she takes special care in building the song from the ground up, spending more hours on compositing and production than she usually does (which is saying a lot because she often hides away in the studio for an entire day). mel’s thought process is that if she can’t tell Benny her feelings, she can present them to him in a song, and if that’s the case it has to be perfect. in the end, she panics and never shared the song with benny. ultimately deciding it’s much easier to not fall down the same old trap doors of love that she always does. but, there’s still truth to those lyrics even now; her love is infinite and there’s very little she wouldn’t do for Benny.

motivate. w. calliope muse & thalia muse. // motivate is very much inspired by thalia's low drama, party girl lifestyle. Its no secret thalia is very confident in her own skin and comfortable being single. She actually prefers it that way but, in this song she's inspired by her friends with benefits relationship with Adam Bete and how it makes her feel. The relationship between the two originally began after bonding over the loss of their fathers. made it clear they were only in it for a physical connection. One that makes her feel good.

rendezvous. w. thalia muse. // inspired by her past relationship with nick wilde, rendevous is about how neglectful he was in their relationship. Getting any kind of attention from him was hard. In this song thalia talks about how shes just trying to spend some time with him. A recent hook up brought everything back up which she channels into the song. Shes not trying to rekindle their paat relationship but just have some fun. He just needs to name the time and place.
