  • Debbie from New JerseyLeelo I'm glad you are doing good! I wish there were more success stories.
  • Lelaura from ArkansasThis song came out in a time in my life that really was madness. The people in my life & the time & energy we spent around the madness of methamphetamine & the hell it drags you down too can only be defined as just that, madness. The madness sent me straight to prison. I was given a ten year sentence but the prison had a "boot camp" program that got me home in 9 months versus 30 months. I endured some hard (for me) quiet times (I sat for 6-8 hrs staring at a wall & speaking only when spoken too). I would play Madness over & over in my head & it literally saved me from going mad. I've never personally had 1 song come to mean so many different things in my personal thoughts & emotions. Now it seems Dig Down is gonna have the same affect. I love you Muse!! Ty for the great music!!
